I’m torn, Jive has my favorite over all rig because of my Mesa fetish, but it being a the modeler entry seems off for me

JT has been all about that modeling (and trumpet) lifestyle for years now. He’s also got one of the most comprehensive rigs in that regard. Don’t let a label put you off for voting for a sweet rig you like.

Holy crap LOTS of GREAT rigs this go round!
On my methodology of my submission; I followed the greatmutah technique of couching the modeling in with the analog
Those "flat" Celestion speakers are great to use with IRs. If you are wanting to kind of put one foot in the digital and one foot in the traditional worlds; they are a great option.

My methodology (on the multi-amp submission):
Both amps fuck hard and I like them together.
Methodology for butter dungeon:
I have impulse control and attachment issues.

I would just like to applaud the fact that not one entry was submitted for the rack category, considering it was all the rage here for awhile. Proud of you guys for stepping back into the 21st century!

That straw has lived on my nightstand next to my bed for years
Thanks to AJ for the SICK Crom pedal and the bonus swag he threw in
Can't wait to wear the shirt
Thanks again man, and I LOVE this Crom pedal. It's sitting on my main board right now and it's gotten a lot of use already.
