Editing Trey Anastasio (section)

==Guitar playing style and stage equipment==
Anastasio has employed the services of his friend, luthier and audio-technician [[Paul Languedoc]] (Phish's soundman from 1986 to 2004) throughout his career. The highly resonant hollow-body electric guitars built by Languedoc<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://guitargearhead.com/languedoc-guitar-review-from-acceptance-email-to-jamming/|title = Languedoc Guitar Review - from Acceptance Email to Jamming|date = June 30, 2021}}</ref> for Anastasio, his [[Ibanez Tube Screamer]]s, and Ross Compressors are key to his signature tone. Anastasio has several custom Languedoc hollow-body electric guitars, which make use of set maple necks with 24-fret ebony fretboards and dual [[Seymour Duncan]] SH-1 '59 [[humbucker]] pickups. During Phish's 2018 Halloween "musical costume" set, Anastasio deviated from his Languedoc guitars and performed with a white [[Ed O'Brien]] model [[Fender Stratocaster]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Phish Succeeds In Ultimate Prank, Delivers New Music As Kasvot Växt For 2018 Halloween Costume [Videos/Photos] |url=https://liveforlivemusic.com/news/phish-vegas-10-31-18/ |website=L4LM |access-date=January 11, 2019 |date=November 1, 2018}}</ref>

Anastasio's electric guitar technique is largely conventional; he does not typically make use of [[tapping]] techniques and does not usually play [[slide guitar]] (an example of when he does is in the [[Oysterhead]] section of [[Les Claypool]]'s ''[[5 Gallons of Diesel]]'') but is known to be competent at both techniques. He normally uses a 2.0mm Adamas graphite [[guitar pick]], but does not always do so. Melodically, he often incorporates [[mode (music)|modes]], notably the [[dorian mode|dorian]], [[mixolydian]], and [[locrian mode|locrian]], as well as [[pentatonic scale]]s. In addition to scales, Anastasio makes abundant use of [[arpeggios]] while improvising as well as in his compositional material. Anastasio's guitar influences include [[Robert Fripp]], [[John McLaughlin (musician)|John McLaughlin]], [[Jerry Garcia]], [[Pat Metheny]], [[Frank Zappa]] and [[Jimi Hendrix]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Phish Scales: Trey Anastasio Breaks Down His Improvisation Techniques |url=https://www.guitarworld.com/lessons/phish-scales-trey-anastasio-breaks-down-his-improvisation-techniques |website=Guitarworld.com |date=September 30, 2013 |access-date=October 8, 2018 |language=en}}<br>- {{cite magazine |last1=Anastasio |first1=Trey |title=100 Greatest Artists: Frank Zappa |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/100-greatest-artists-147446/frank-zappa-3-86388/ |magazine=Rolling Stone |access-date=October 8, 2018 |date=December 3, 2010}}<br>- {{cite book |last1=Kitts |first1=Jeff |last2=Tolinski |first2=Brad |title=Guitar World Presents the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time!: From the Pages of Guitar World Magazine |date=2002 |publisher=Hal Leonard Corporation |isbn=9780634046193 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Fg838EcECUwC&q=trey+anastasio+hendrix+%22machine+gun%22&pg=PT195 |language=en}}</ref>

[[Audio signal processing|Effects processors]] play a crucial role in achieving Anastasio's guitar tone. He uses effects such as two Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamers (with Analogman's Silver Mod) in sequence, the famous Univibe clone the Black Cat Vibe, and a Ross compressor. He switched to Analogman's Bicompressor around 1998, dropped the compressor from his rig in 2002, and resumed use of the Ross Compressor in 2008 when a group of fans who desired the return of Anastasio's "signature" Ross compressor sound pooled their resources to obtain a vintage Ross Compressor and sent it to Anastasio in an attempt to compel him to return the vintage effect pedal to his rig.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://phantasytour.com/phish/boards_thread.cgi?threadID=1760766 |title=PT &#124; Phish &#124; FINAL Ross Compressor Thread |website=Phantasytour.com |date=January 6, 2009 |access-date=February 27, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314013636/http://phantasytour.com/phish/boards_thread.cgi?threadID=1760766 |archive-date=March 14, 2012  }}<br>- {{cite web |url=http://picasaweb.google.com/MarshMtn/RossCompressor2?authkey=JBWQ7aDBG5o&feat=directlink# |title=Ross Compressor 2 – TMarsh – Picasa Web Albums |website=Picasaweb.google.com |date=January 6, 2009 |access-date=February 27, 2012 }}{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Anastasio responded through friend and longtime collaborator [[Tom Marshall (singer)|Tom Marshall]]'s website explaining that he had lost his original Ross Compressor and that he was so touched that people cared about his effects and guitar tone that he would add the gift to his rig in the original configuration where it has remained ever since.<ref>{{cite magazine|author=John Vilanova |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/phish-fans-hungry-for-trey-anastasios-old-tone-present-guitarist-with-ross-compressor-20090107 |title=PT Phish FINAL Ross Compressor Thread |magazine=Rolling Stone |date=January 7, 2009 |access-date=February 27, 2012}}</ref> He also uses a [[wah wah pedal]] (usually a Real McCoy Custom 3 by Geoffrey Teese), a Boomerang phrase sampler, Custom Audio Electronics Super [[Tremolo]], Ibanez DM2000 delay, Alesis Microverb II (set to reverse), Whammy II pitch shifter, as well as a [[Leslie speaker|Leslie]] rotating speaker horn. In 2009, Anastasio added a Nova Repeater (delay). He controls these devices singularly or in batch with a Custom Audio Electronics RS-10 footpedal bank.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Custom Shop |url=http://www.customaudioelectronics.com/custom_shop.php?view=article&id=7 |access-date=2024-06-17 |website=www.customaudioelectronics.com}}</ref>

In the early 1990s, Anastasio employed a custom 2x12 speaker cabinet powered by either a 100W [[Mesa/Boogie]] Mark III head or, later, a Custom Audio Electronics 3-channel preamp and Groove Tubes power amp. In mid-1997, he switched to a pair of modified 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb amps, one serving as a backup. When Phish returned in 2009, Anastasio was back to using the Mesa Boogie MKIII. In 2013 he added a Bogner Shiva amp to his arsenal, which can still be seen on stage as recently as Summer Tour 2014, though has not been used much during that tour.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Trey Anastasio's Guitars, Amps, Pedals & Other Gear {{!}} Equipboard |url=https://equipboard.com/pros/trey-anastasio |access-date=2024-06-17 |website=equipboard.com}}</ref>

Anastasio played three different [[Steel-string guitar|acoustic]] guitars by [[C.F. Martin & Company|Martin]]. The first is a D-45E which has East Indian Rosewood sides and back and a solid Sitka Spruce top. In 2005, Martin released a Trey Anastasio signature model acoustic guitar, with a dreadnought body with a curved Venetian cutaway. The guitar also has an Italian alpine spruce top, mahogany sides and a three-piece back with "wings" of mahogany and a center wedge of flame-figured Hawaiian koa (similar to a D-35). The guitar is finished with a flamed koa headplate and snowflake fingerboard inlays. As of 2017+, a Martin 1943 D28 is main guitar for standard tuning, Martin 1934 00028 for finger-style/open tunings, 1968 D35 for Drop and slack key tunings.

The history of Anastasio's guitars, rig and equipment has been meticulously documented by music writer Ryan Chiachiere on the blog Trey's Guitar Rig.<ref>{{cite web |title=Episode 119: Trey's Guitar Rig w/Ryan Chiachiere from Helping Friendly Podcast |url=https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/helping-friendly-podcast/e/51691041?autoplay=true |website=Stitcher.com |access-date=October 24, 2018 |language=en}}</ref>
