Loop's gear is awesome but, Rooiner's Home Recording Studio got my vote... that was a tough one but, that remote control mic stand won me over.
With Loop and Ruiner being the only two worthy contestants, a third party vote would be a waste.

Love my Purple Wind!!! :love:


I purposefully came in here to comment on his entry!!! :lol:

Come ON!!


You guys are awesome! :hi5: It was kind of a joke, considering the wattage and iron you guys throw around in your stacks. I was pleased as punch to enter three separate categories and only duplicate a single cable. Because coily cable rules! :lol:

Just had a question. Pretty sure I am not going to win anyway but I wanted to ask. Each category has a winner and then it goes to a final where it is the winner from each category against each other?

So best stack vs best studio vs best combo vs best pedalboard = winner?

I'm on board with this. In fact, given that on top of all the awesome gear and instrumental talent, he's also good looking and can sing, I would be open to the idea of banning him completely.

I dunno.... there seems to be a larger-than-usual number of new members (with no posts) who joined right after voting started.
I suppose that, if I created new profiles, from work and my cell phone, I could vote two more times.... something is fishy.... :cop:

Hey man it was highly encouraged to recruit new members to vote. Maybe they will stick around who knows.

I can claim Fam5 as one of my friends that I recruited to vote for me. I have a couple of others that if I twisted their arms I am sure would vote but I won't really worry about it. I know I do not have the best rig anyway and can't compete with a killer studio lol.

I was half tempted to get my wife and daughter to join to vote but I figured that would be crossing the line :lol:

However, I did also post this on Rig Talk and I know of at least 1 RT'er gear freak who is awesome that will more than likely stick around so isn't that what it is all about anyway?

If any of you know Reza I told him I am going to steal his Mark IIC ++ for next years giveaway since he refused to join and vote.
