Trey Anastasio
Phish / Trey Anastasio Band
The Jedi of the jam scene and leader of Phish. Renowned for his tension-and-release improvisation, intricate fugue-like compositions, and the singing, violin-like sustain of his custom Languedoc guitars.
SIGNATURE TONE
Singing, violin-like sustain with a vocal midrange. Achieved by a fully hollow guitar feeding back into a compressor and dual Tube Screamers, creating a controlled feedback loop at any volume.
SIGNAL CHAINS BY ERA
Explore how the rig evolved over time
1.0 / Junta Era (1983-2000)
The classic Phish sound. A hollowbody Languedoc into a Mesa Boogie Mark III with two Tube Screamers created the singing sustain.
2.0 / Round Room Era (2002-2004)
Grittier and looser. Experimenting with different amps like the Fender Deluxe Reverb for a less compressed feel.
3.0 / Modern Era (2009-Present)
Refined masterpiece. The Trainwreck Express amp brought a touch-sensitive, blooming quality to the rig.
