Re: BOTR 2022 Rules and Discussion Thread
I just realized I never put up a modeling category. So with that being said I’ll leave submissions open for one more week. Not fair to the guys who have mixers and didn’t get to put them up.

Yeah that's what I'm going to do. I'mma bump this in the main forum to. It'll run through 7/5. Should give some folks enough time I hope.

Re: BOTR 2022 Rules and Discussion Thread
Posted this in the main forum but I'll add it here:
Crazy question for you lot. I know we have a ton of categories but someone expressed interest in a solid state category. IF I decided to add that in the next couple hours, could we agree upon the following things?
1. Analog solid state amps (Crates, Peaveys, Orange CRs, Roland, Quilter, Marhsall) and/or hybrid amps ala Valvestates, Randall T2/V2, etc. where the power section is solid state with maybe 1 or 2 preamp tubes.
2. No digital modeling of any kind (Yamaha THRs, Boss Katanas, Line 6 anything are all digital modelers, yes?)
And are there enough folks interested in this category that would legit enter rigs into the contest? Because if so, I'll load that up. If not, I'm not going to bother. And by enough, considering we're not a high volume forum I'm looking for at least 3 or 4 people outside of myself.
Let me know. Clock is ticking.

To me an amp is an amp , Tube or SS can be in the same group imo .

Hey, I have a big board, 36x16", but only has 5 physical pedals (plus amp FS). One is a big multi effects which I added some extra stuff to. Which category makes more sense?

Put it in small. We have a board with HXFX in small boards.

I was hoping for 5th place. Now it looks like I'll be hoping for 6th.
