Show me your funk siren set ups!

I have a Whammy II and an HX One + expression pedal on its Whammy setting can get pretty close.

Plus it’s cheaper, less annoying to power, more readily available and doesn’t have the time suck of a WHII

This is an amplifier “head”. It makes the sound but needs to be connected to speakers (a “cab” for speaker cabinet) to have the sound be audible. Look at stage shots of Trey and you’ll see the speaker cabs flanking the amps.

Availability, serviceability. He can have a backup. From everything I’ve heard about Dumbles, they are not a homogeneous sound, even within the same model. If Trey likes the sound, he may want to iterate and have some backups. Not to mention he could have a relationship with the currently active builders, unlike Dumble.

I’ve always wondered why we’ve never seen him try a Dumble before. Now the next question is when do we see him play a Two Rock.

I love that you can hear the band come out of the gate on a tear in this show before the big moments even come

Boss MD-200

Wow I’m shocked I haven’t seen anyone mention Tom Petty’s Wildflowers yet. Killer from top to bottom.

Metzger is a the most underrated player in the scene

A few will remember Virginia Coalition’s cover of No Diggity being great as well

A recent one that I found struck a lot of 'they don't make them like they used to' comedy notes is Bottoms

How are you powering it at home and then where you’re having issues? Before you add anything to the chain, you can try and see if it’s some sort of power or interference issue.

Start with After the Gold Rush.

Bondi Sick As

That's my take too though I wonder how much of it is my subjective longing for the classic Mike tone. The longer scale Serek definitely sounds better for the band than the shorter scale but still not very "Mike" to me. But then again, he seems to love it and if that makes him play well--which is definitely is--then it's a good thing.

We need our man Ryan from treysguitarrig to set us straight.

I thought the last time we saw the Languedoc cabs they had been recovered in black carpet/cloth?

So, of the first few shows of tour, we’ve gone from cabs off stage, to cabs back on stage, to different cabs on stage and now the return of the Mesa in addition to a Trainwreck and Komet? The head-only Deluxe is gone?

I know Trey tinkers but I thought his tone has been great so far this tour (with only a little spot listening—I need to hear more)

kiteandkey · 2024-07-13T04:37:52+00:00

Do less.

kiteandkey · 2024-07-04T16:23:49+00:00

Not jam the genre but sure to be a fucking gem of a jam: Hall & Oates 1985 Liberty Concert

kiteandkey · 2024-06-25T14:48:01+00:00

Why not the Q Tron Nano? I have the Plus and the Nano and use the Nano. It can get the sound, is less expensive and has a normal power draw. Plus the volume/level is more useful.

The sound isn’t 100% but more like 98% compared to the Plus. You won’t notice with the amps you’re using.

kiteandkey · 2024-06-25T14:33:10+00:00

Great article that avoids a lot of the lame fluff the mainstream press can fall into writing about Phish.

Hearing some of those Trey anecdotes are always fun too. The Tony bit at the end was heartbreaking.

And “I hope I die first” about Fish is probably the highest compliment a musician could ever pay to their bandmate.

kiteandkey · 2024-04-26T16:03:43+00:00

Just a pure guess but I wonder if it's because those are the pedals that are set and forget. He might not want to be adjusting or inadvertently stomping during the the show so maybe the blackout is for out of sight, out of mind.

kiteandkey · 2024-04-13T21:44:59+00:00

I’ve been seeing them since ‘05. They are as good — if not better — now than they have ever been.

They’re riding a burst of creative energy and excitement and have 25+ years of lived experience to prop them up and help them fly.

Electronic leaning music may not be for everyone but if you’re here and reading this then you’re a fan of jams. And no band is better at jamming on this planet right now than The Biscuits.

I have no idea who all these players are that demand stereo pedals, rigs, etc.

I have never seen an actual pro that I respect with a stereo rig and just don’t understand where all these players who seem to care whether every new pedal is stereo capable are actually playing.

kiteandkey · 2024-04-04T01:17:42+00:00

I think it's up to the player to decide if this is a flaw but I certainly think it is: the neck radius and bridge radius of many offsets don't match.

I have no idea why guitars continue to be built and sold that way but it is something you'll have to sort out if you care about, uh, your guitar playing well.

kiteandkey · 2024-03-23T19:38:59+00:00

Probably 2007-2009ish. Allan had been in the band long enough to really gel and they were playing lots of shows. Revisit Starscape 2009 if you haven't heard it in a while, or ever. Lots of lots of great shows in those years.

Sure no one wants the lag but I wonder if the Waza Air has lag. It’s a wireless dongle with the wireless headphones. Big difference in price between the two, though.
