Putting the guitar down to get another beer IS lame. That's what kids are for :lol:

'66 Super Reverb
Pittman Workingman+ Tele
Path B is the DriveOmatic > Ambience > volume pedal for blending in some fat, ambience, or both.
Path A is Pharaoh Class A Boost plus > KOT > TS10 > CE-2 > MM

EDIT: ABY is a PLX built pedal with ground lifts and independent channel volume controls. That thing is friggin awesome :cool:

Since I’m a big dummy and forgot to put 2tall’s rig in the vote box, if you’d like to vote for him please just leave a reply saying 2tallmusic. I will tally these up.

I didn’t enter cause I felt bad for you peasants having to go up against that teal Suede life. :p

Seriously though this is a hard choice. I’m leaning towards Mort cause the majesty of a real ‘66 Super Reverb is hard to beat.

yeah this one was hard. I had to go with Pickle's because it's a rig I could just gig with immediately with no changes. But it was a tough one, lots of great rigs there

I also agree Shea would've won. :lol:

Honestly I could gig with all of these, minus the backwards guitars. :p

Dr Z rig looks pretty tasty. I like Pickle’s LP too cause it’s unique.

I was hoping you would! It would obviously win but a beautiful way to be whooped! :love:

That z rig is tasty as hell too. Never played a Z but I get it. Definitely in my wheelhouse.


Did you ever find a 65 for it yet?

And what’s in it now… I forget… EVM?

All of the Z’s I’ve played have been awesome! Same with Morgans too. I always wanted to try the Zwreck! :drool:

My ODR clone currently has an early 80’s EV 12L and it’s truly glorious but way different than my Celestions.
