Here's my head/cab submission with one goal in mind... the low powered cranked Marshall sound.
Slagle Esquire KingTone Duallist Overdrive Fuchs Lucky 7 EL34 Head Vox Open Back 2x12 Cab w/ Celestion Blue and 70's Blackback
When clean this amp/cab combination has a very bouncy kinda full bottom and nice grit on top. Add a good OD and that's all it needs to get a really really nice full cranked Marshall sound at very reasonable volume.

Say what you will about the headstock but I always loved that Burning Water finish.

Went to a sort of Tyler get together at the old Tone Mechants in Orange County and saw a couple of guys walking around with these matte finish badasses and I had to have one, headstock and all
You'd love it I'd bet!

I see that I missed that Lester also had 4 votes, however he and Duncan worked things out and reminded me that Devin was leading before the votes got Nuked with 5 so they're deferring to Devin with the Sound City Stack. Which I am ok with (I remember there being 5 for Dev and I legit screwed that up). So Dev, collect your winnings of strings thanks to some good dudes in this contest.
