Guitar Gear Forum

Here are the winning rigs on each category...let's vote for the best overall rig of 2015 - winner will win a TC Electronic HOF Mini

JerEvil - modeling rig



Bubbastain - under $1k



Mister Nobody - large board



Bob Savage - small board




Trimix - studio gear



Dolf - combo



'63 Strat - head/cab

I think those that won the studio category and pedal categories should post their rigs in here since it's best overall rig category.

wow - this is a tough choice.
hard to pick just a pedalboard as the best rig, trimix had a nice picture - but no outstanding pieces there, and I hate to give the nod to a 11010101011 rig and send GAB completely over to the dark side. Can't bring myself to vote First Act guitars to BEST rig.
Dolf's rig is completely sexy - but again - vote an Epi into best of all of GAB???
Even '63's rig has a digital component, but it's all quality stuff and it's hard to argue with a Gibby hollowbody, a Fender Strat (if I thought that was a '63 it'd be a no-brainer), and a Bogner half stack. I'm going to have to reserve judgement for the time being.........

It *is* a '63 strat

i voted for teh xtc


i agree though, everyone should get to post up their entire rig.

Mamberg, it's not a real Epi lol.

It was an elitist, then I had it rebuilt. It's a custom jobby, the only part of it that's still original is the body wood.

I may not vote. Not sure I can confidently vote accurately based on my rig being in the running and '63 strat's picture being 3+ years old

well then.........
Your sig threw me off where it says "Strat and Tele partscasters"
voted


and Dolf - ok, that does give a bit more cred - and you should totally vote!

I voted Poverty. It's how I roll IRL That being said, all the rigs are in their own ways. Good work dudes!

I was reading Billy's sig underneath your picture in the OP.
I should probably be banned from voting!!!

There's something about Mr. Nobody's board that I find unusually soothing... it massages my OCD.
It's a work of art.

Part of me wants to vote for a rig with an amp and a guitar but, I gotta go with my psychotic, pathological emotions.

Even though the sonofabitch beat me (crushed me by a landslide) in the pedal board category, i'm going to do him a solid and post his rig for him before too many votes get cast. It really is a super set up and i love me a stereo rig......



that said, haven't cast my vote yet. Some quality contenders for overall rig!

Nah I see how that could happen now in the OP. The strat is a refin but otherwise all original, 335 is a '63 historic and my tele is a '63 CS. I like '63

'63-Strat is starting to run away with it!

Man, i'm having a hard time choosing on this one.

Dolf's rig is the one i'd be most likely to use.

Jer's rig is the one i want to try the most and it looks so damn cool.

Mr. Nobody's got the stereo setup i want and i want his pedalboard just so i can pull all the cords and mess it up.

Bubba Stain doing it big on a budget.

No idea what the rest of Savage's rig looks like.

Can't really vote for Trimix since we're seeing a collection and not a rig here. Curious as to what his actual rig consists of.

'63 Strat has that sweet Bogner i was looking at for a while when i first went amp shopping.




It's a tough one!

Its ok, I wonder how the Best Rig of 2012 would do this year?




Man, to have those amps with my current board

Next year i'll play it smarter like i should have this year and split the board into 3 different sizes (actually already had that just a few weeks ago before combining!) and enter in all 3 pedal board categories so i have a better shot of getting to the finals

Unless there's a hidden power amp somewhere, that's a mono rig mang.

You have to have two independent signals routed to the speakers/recording for it to be stereo.

My rig is stereo, with ping pong fx, washes across the room from panning fx, real spinning Leslie type shit etc...

As far as the vote, I went with Dolf. Lovin' on the Gretsch + board + pedals. If '63 Strat could've been bothered to take a new pic I might have went that way.

Ah, thought it might be a stereo amp with two independent signals... i know Verellen made one of those... but i see what you're saying.

Yeah, once i get my new amp i'll be coming to you with questions on setting it up stereo! I CANNOT WAIT to hear it like that.

My bogner rig is at a lockout I only use to rehearse with my solo band, otherwise I just use my pedalboard and w/e amps are at other rehearsal spots. I get wanting a new pic but it wasn't a requirement, and I don't keep it at home.

My vote went to JerEvil... #kemperbros lol

Same reason I got a shit home pic of the mo-jav

This is getting interesting

I'll give you a close-up of the main rack, it's yer standard MarkRectoTwinJCMAC30XTC set-up for the truly decisive player.

'63 Strat is the big winner this year and will be getting the TC HOF Mini.

All winners, if you haven't done so, please contact me and provide your address, I will be sending all prizes out tomorrow.

Congrats!! That's a hell of a rig!
