Re: BOTR 2020: Best Combo Rig
Guitars are PRS SC245 (stock neck pickup/ Dimarzio 36th anniversary in bridge) and core PRS Mira (stock) > runs into compression and dirt pedals > goes to front of Mesa Electra Dyne - all the other pedals run through the effects loop. At home I run an EQ in the loop as well because this amp is LOUD.
Edited - original picture didn't have a guitar plugged in

Congrats again to Itchy! That silverface Fender/Space Echo rig is a tough customer.
