Re: BOTR 2016: Best Head/cab rig
Great entries this year gents!
Pablo's JCM rig got my vote last year.
This year I voted where GAS took me and had to go with the Gower plexi. I don't know what that amp is sitting next to it, but the Gower is enough to sway me.
I'd take any of those rigs though. Good stuff.

Re: BOTR 2016: Best Head/cab rig
I voted for atrox, and would have voted for '63 Strat if I had a second vote. ajaxlepinski and Ruiner tied for third. Me fifth, since I actually love my own gear.
My very scientific criteria for voting: the rigs that made me go, "Shit, I want to play through THAT setup right now!"

Thanks for your vote Walt!
The amp next to it is a John Suhr deal. 2ch amp with a boost - modded Marshall based with a boost channel for more saturated stuff and a Fender type clean on the first channel.
The Gower getting the rip and kerrang and the Suhr bringing the bigness. The SE+'s a beast.
Some good stuff here, you're right.

Re: BOTR 2016: Best Head/cab rig
Cool! I know Suhr, just didn't know he made those. I have played the Thorn amp and thought it was quite nice.
Killer rig you're sportin there.

Re: BOTR 2016: Best Head/cab rig
Brothers and sisters, fellow Americans and GABbers, we live in perilous times. The world around us is changing fast and morphing in ways we can't always control. But that doesn't mean we have to shy away from change. Or be scared of evolution. It means we have to hold fast to our most basic principles. Which is, that Rock&Roll and everything we love about it, is built on a foundation of Les Paul's and Marshall's. It's the searing reality of our heritage. It is the perpetual feather in our Steve Vai Fedora. It's a inescapable truth that binds us all together. When we need to project power and strength, we pull the JMP out of quiver of weapons. When clean, dynamic feels are required to quell tyranny, we reach for the DSL. With Crunch engaged. The JCM900 is always at the ready to act as our flame thrower. With a Historic 1960 Les Paul as my compass, I will help lead you to the shining city on the hill. And whenever tyranny shows it's hideous, soulless face, we will crank the JCM's together and bring teh rock to fight the jive.
Don't vote for tyranny.
Vote for Turbopablo.
Don't vote for tyranny.
Vote for Turbopablo.

The disses come from 63-strat's choice to spoil the TV show "Stranger Things." People who spoil TV/movies for others are low-class plebs (I will also note his Squire is not pictured).
