The combo category has some seriously good competition.

Can the same rig be in two categories? For instance, my rack rig is also a modeling rig...I'm guessing not, but wanted to check...

If the modeling rig and rack are identical then no. If there’s something different between them (different power amp/amp head, cab, etc) then yes.

Originally Friday the 18th but I’m tempted to delay it a week so we can get more entries in.

My cab is new but, the speakers are vintage.

I think I might change rules to where it’s either just the head or combo has to be vintage. Also, Friday is technically supposed to be the final date but I’m going to extend it until the 25th. Gives us time to get more folks in and gives me some time to get my shit together and photographed.
