ODR for Trey type player

Post by dr. who »

Been tinkering with the idea of putting someone out there to tour in a "darkstar" methodology playing Phish. I know of a player in Asheville who in a blind listening test can not be told apart from Trey. That being said he is only 22 and sounds like Trey, when Trey's on top of his game. If I were going to design a 50w ODR, what would really get the Trey sound + some. Which mods to a regular 50w ODR? Hrm or non? Skyline or non? Component value changes?
Thanks for the help.

I'd say a Non HRM, non skyline, 250K treble and bass pots, 100K mid pot, 330pf treble cap, 100K slope, .047 mid, .01 bass, bigger cathode bypass caps (10-25uf)on the clean side and 100K/1K5 plate/cathode resistors.

Gil and Chris can vouch for me!! :shock:

To my ears trey's tone is more fenderish, so I thought a more fenderish flavor would suit, and if your guy plays a hollow thinline with 2 HB's he'll appreciate the .047 :D

I'd start there and see what he thinks :D

So does the non-skyline still have the bass and mid run parallel (bass pot bypassed by .001uf with the tail resistor etc)? Just the values differ? That's always puzzled me.

Would there be a standard fender DR reverb in it or would it be sss-odsr type? Do you think that 50w with 2x6l6 or d-lite style with 6v6? 12ay7 or 12ax7 for pre and/or verb? Would pab be wired as usual? What chassis size would be needed?

I've seen him in person. To me he looks like HAD's Illegitimate son :wink: .




Ok, he actually looks nothing like HAD but every amp he had at the show sounded great, and each one was different. He has a great ear and knows the Dumble ckt as well as anyone.
