Here is my not-so-humble, mojo filled, ass kicking, Head/cab rig submission for 2016.

At higher volumes, Sunns have a unique, squishy feel with a dynamically open, natural overdrive. Lots of killer KACHING, KARANG and BAWOW!!!!

LP Junior > Catalinbread Naga Viper> Sunn Solarus > Mortatone Monster 12/15 with one 12" Alnico EV SRO & one 15" Ceramic EV SRO

And, for your listening pleasure, this was recorded with the same set up (and a Mu-Tron wah on the lead) a few weeks ago:

If you look closely, you will see that the Solarus (in the pic above) has two Fender knobs.
Those two fooking Fender knobs were seriously irritating my OCD... like sand in my bathing suit.
Bought the below, Sunn Concert Bass amp, for $220, just to hijack two knobs for the Solarus!!!
The Concert Bass arrived today (Sat July 30th) so, no time to take new pics for the Best Head/cab contest.
My original pic (above), with the JR and Naga Viper still holds water and is my official enytry... that set up is all I need for pure and total sonic bliss!!!!

Just wanted to show off my KNOB OCD!!!

This is basically the home rig that sees daily use...

...unobtainium $5k amp, hand wound boutique Duncan JB clones, a Luxxtone guitar, and a bag of boost pedals from God knows where.

I covered up the Leslie and Tyrant amp in the middle with the guitars because they are the only thing seen that are not part of the rig (but a pain in the ass to move!)

It's been a long time since I've posted, but here's my rig as it stands now. I just got the cab this week and am loving it!

Chain is my Custom Tele with Bare Knuckle Nailbombs (my first build from back in 2010) > Wireless > Polytune Mini > Pitchfork > BYOC Overdrive 2 > Boss PH-3 > Ibanez Weeping Demon Wah > Mesa Boogie Roadster > ISP Decimator, VP Jr > Alter Ego X4 > back to the Mesa and into the vertical 2x12 Recto Cab.

Unfortunately my phone camera sucks.
