Yeah that's been my baby for several years now. :D

Even through the changes in my style and tonal preferences it continues to feel like home. :rawk:

I'm voting for Ruiner if only cause I've played his rig and its glorious. :love:

Just the Acme Reverb tank into the Hiwatt stack is one of the coolest rigs I've had the peasure of playing.

I think Stratsouldier will back me up on that too. His Strat sounded... Stratty.

Add in the Verellen with his spaceship pedalboard and its epic Gilmour stereo Madison Square Bedroom insanity.

OK, I'm in, ready to get my ass kicked up around my ears by y'alls insane rigs. :drool: :fap:

However, if there's a Miss Congeniality-type consolation prize for "Rig Photo With The Least Color Variety," I'm definitely in the running. :bring:

Ruiner definitely deserves to be in top contention.

My wife, upon looking at the head-and-cab thread: "Hmm...I guess I thought everybody's gear would just be all black and plain looking like yours."

No, sweetheart, many, maybe most guys with $3k guitars like pretty wood, or at least leave the shiny covers on their pickups.

Word. I want to spam some join gab and vote links. I want to vote for Atrox because I envy the Friedman owners but I may vote for myself because I would love a new pedal :love:

Is it legal to vote for yourself or nah?

I have a soft spot for the bandit so Steiny gets my vote for budget rig.

Ruiner for Home Studio

63-Strat best combo

Sleewell large PedalBoard

Atrox small PedalBoard

I'm not voting for the modeler lol and I'm saving my vote on head/Cab. I probably won't vote for myself but there is a couple of rigs I liked so I'm gonna be a homo and wait to see who's winning.

Edit: After seeing I actually had a couple of votes I did shamelessly vote for myself. My rig does sound pretty damn amazing and I would like to try a new pedal :cool: It does not look like I will stand a chance but there are some nice looking rigs in the head/cab section and I'd be happy to play any of them.

oh yeah...sure!! Now that the voting started you can post on all threads. I just didn't want random posts before to make it easier to organize the polls without having through sort through pages and pages of random stuff :) .
