Re: BOTR 2015: Winners!!!!
Awesome rigs and setups all around guys! Some really great contenders in it and all the winners had fantastic setups. 
.... well except for Mr. Nobody. Strymon and a super clean board..... oldest trick in the TGP book.
I kid, i really hope to make a board like that for next year when i'm certain of keepers that work well together. It's really fantastic attention to detail. Hell, i would have voted for it if it wasn't for that one empty space at the top.... that just hurts my heart.
Very cool to be in the top of the two categories i entered especially after this being my first year playing guitar at all. I'm coming for a win next year though!!

Re: BOTR 2015: Winners!!!!
it was a good run - I have plans for my pedalboard that will tip it into the large category - so I don't see any wins in my future.
I'll take a third place finish from this bunch of gearheads and misfits anyday though!!

Definitely an heated and certainly interesting contest this year.
Congrats to the winners!!!
I'm happy that my poverty rig got four votes, my pedal board and combo rig each got one vote. Woooo hoooo! :-)

Re: BOTR 2015: Winners!!!!
yeah congrats to everyone and thanks to Billy for setting this up. I'm still a little sore that you DQ'd my rig when you've heard it passing signal in person and know first hand that it's my actual functioning rig... but mentioning that just puts me on the list of members who've pestered you about the whole BOTR thing and I don't want that. 

It was a fun contest. I don't care what anyone says the Pro Reverb is the best combo in the category. I didn't have pedal bells and whistles... and plus I imagine most of you didn't want to deal with my ego had I won.

Kick ass! This was fun!
I haven't entered in previous years. As mentioned, there is some bad ass gear on this forum. Cool to see it all displayed.

I am sorry I did not give you special treatment for knowing you personally. That would have been very fair to the others.
Wait... actually, that would've been completely unfair and I am not sorry at all.
