When I saw Itchyfingers' submission for Best Head/cab, I thought he made a mistake by entering a combo.
Then, I looked closer and noticed the Purple Wind sitting on top! :lol: :thu: :rawk:

Thanks guys! Second place on GAB's BTOR is still an impressive achievement... the competition is really though this year and only half the entries are in.
That Science amp > Orange cap of Matt's is really cool.
Diocides Laney tower is very menacing and Billy's Marshall and two Lesters can't get any more ROCK N ROLL!!! :rawk:

Shit, I should have posted a Sunn/Hi-Tone stack of DOOM to hedge my bets.
Too late now, I'm at the lovey and scenic Jersey Shore - no chance to take any new pics before the close of the contest next week.

Shit just got serious in the Head/cab category too... Ruiner's Hiwatt with a Royer in front is tweaking my GAS gland.... and the Twig Machine on top is just more icing on the cake!

63 Strat's wall of Bogner is mighty impressive and drewiv's Cherry Bomb can't be taken any less seriously.

There's something nice about the tidyness of madrigal77's EVH matching pair. :love:

Not sure if I can even vote for myself this year!! :lol:
