BTOR 2017 Rules and Discussion Thread

All my guitars knock me me out of the poverty rig. Tons of old amps at good prices, cabs, then no lower cost guitars.

[JonVengeance]

I just entered every category except Modeling and recording.

[VTM]

Where's the category for Best Rig That No Other GABer Would Every Play?

I've already got that one on lock, Yarb

Not too sure about that. Remember, I play plywood guitars through Peavey SS amps.

Lol, I think I have that on lockdown too:

1. Direct to PA pedalboard with all store-bought pedals, running into IEM's

or

2. Tech 21 Traidsmark 60, with a pedalboard with a midibuddy controlling it, and store-bought pedals.



Y'all mofuckas can't handle the boutiqueness of it all

[Dave]

Damn, there are some great looking rigs all across the board

The Mortatone combos are really driving the competition up in the combo category. I still need to actually take some pics of mine tonight

[GuitarBilly]

question - say you were to win the pedalboard category - can you post a new pic of your full rig for the final showdown?
a pedalboard alone is not going to win overall?

The picture that wins the category is what goes to the finals. I am sure a guy like Ruiner or Mr. Nobody could easily put together a pedalboard that could win best overall.


Next year I will have a best clip category, why don't you get ready to win that?

Nope... nobody ever knows my pedals so they get minimum votes.

These clip callouts never get old.

[Dave]

omfg clip callout goes hard in the paint

Entered, ready to lose. Pics from super fun gig last night.

Okay, last year I put this in the modeling section, not exactly sure why, since there is no digital modeling going on here. Anyway, I need a ruling. There are 9 items on here, but I only step on 7 of them, so, does this go in best small pedalboard (7 pedals or less), or best large pedalboard (8 pedals or more)?

[sleewell]

i put mine in the large category bc my wireless receiver doubles as my tuner.

seems like that should be in the small category but that decision is above my pay grade.

take them off the pedalboard - take the pic - put them back on - small category.

If you want to leave them there to be considered part of the board - large category

[sleewell]

wait... is my entry in the head/cab category going to be deleted because the guitar wasn't plugged in? i had my wireless transmitter in my back pocket and took the pic right before we started playing. i'll take another if i need to. i don't wanna get DQ'd this year.

You're fine man. No need to take another picture.

[Dave]

Does adding a video of me playing through my rig count? I had the cables and shit packed in the car for practice, and now it's all loaded in the suv.

It took me long enough to figure out how to work the damn camera

[sleewell]

not my forum, not my contest but personally i just think as long as its not a pic of a large collection that's cool. 2 guitars with an amp and some pedals is a legit entry. i get the reason for the rule but i don't think we have tons of people posting old pics of every piece of gear they own this time around.

[Dave]

That was my thinking. Going along with the spirit of a rig we use, and not just a smattering of crap thrown in to a pic. I think everyone here knows we both use the rigs we entered. Probably helps that you posted a pic of yours on stage

[Chris Z]

I have to turn on the amp. lol.

[Dave]

Shit!! Sorry just saw the rule about no dialog on the gear threads

my bad, dude!

[Sizzler]

I almost responded in the Head Cab thread. Phew saw the rules.


Jer - Put your Henning in

[sleewell]

~30 mins bishes!

wow, i have literally no chance. XTC, SLO, Friedman, Rgasm, Skinnerburst. dear lord you fuckers have some sweet gear.

[Yarbicus]

Mamberg's pedalboard looks nice but I don't believe that it has ever passed a signal.

[sleewell]

When does voting start?
