Here's my budget (sub $1,000) submission:

Image

Now before anyone gets tight about it being a Matchless, I acquired it through a series of trades, starting with a $200 purchase. I didn't add any money to the trades, since it's based on what you paid, that's what I paid for it.

Head: Matchless Clubman Reverb ($200)
Cabinet: Dr Z Z-Best (WGS ET65/V30) ($300)
Guitar: Greco EGC-600 ($400)

No pedalboard, as that would put me over.
I used to play guitar.

I wouldn't say that. People very much might prefer the Valveking or that sick ass Tele you have.

Plus you have a Walrus ARP, which is such a cool pedal.

Because I live in a desolate shithole where coffee will never thrive.
