Here is my not-so-humble, mojo filled, ass kicking, Head/cab rig submission for 2016.
At higher volumes, Sunns have a unique, squishy feel with a dynamically open, natural overdrive. Lots of killer KACHING, KARANG and BAWOW!!!!
LP Junior > Catalinbread Naga Viper> Sunn Solarus > Mortatone Monster 12/15 with one 12" Alnico EV SRO & one 15" Ceramic EV SRO
If you look closely, you will see that the Solarus (in the pic above) has two Fender knobs. Those two fooking Fender knobs were seriously irritating my OCD... like sand in my bathing suit. Bought the below, Sunn Concert Bass amp, for $220, just to hijack two knobs for the Solarus!!! The Concert Bass arrived today (Sat July 30th) so, no time to take new pics for the Best Head/cab contest. My original pic (above), with the JR and Naga Viper still holds water and is my official enytry... that set up is all I need for pure and total sonic bliss!!!!
Just wanted to show off my KNOB OCD!!!

I covered up the Leslie and Tyrant amp in the middle with the guitars because they are the only thing seen that are not part of the rig (but a pain in the ass to move!)
Stereo Pedalboard tuner > basic audio fuzz mutant > ss/bs fuck overdrive > buffalo fx evolution > moog clusterflux > chase bliss warped vinyl > hologram dream sequence > loop pedal (inserted into the loop is the analog outfitters scanner, hawk stereo tape delay, binson super special and acmeverb tube driven spring reverb) > chase bliss tonal recall > source audio nemesis > montreal assembly count to 5 > empress reverb
Everything but the loop pedal and dirt controlled by the Source Audio SoleMan midi controller. Also the volume pedal and the Source Audio Reflex (midi 3 way expression pedal)
Amps and Cabs Running stereo into the Verellen Skyhammer w/ Verellen 4x12 loaded with WGS Vet 30s and the '75 Hiwatt DR-103 w/ '74 Hiwatt 4x12 SE4122 loaded with original Fane speakers.
