Best Home Studio/Recording Rig, Raf

I just threw together this little foam area the other day, since I am using my Omega cab for recording now. Audient ID44 is the centerpiece. My monitors are Adams A7Xs. I have a Behringer 8 channel preamp that I use when recording drums. The mics set up are a Heil PR31 and AKG C414. I have another C414, 2 SM57s, 2 ATM250DEs, Lewitt MTP440, 4 Audix D2s. Everything you need for recording drums. But that stuff goes in and out, anyway...the Audient and Adams are the heart of it all.

Best Man Cave/Dungeon/Jam Space, Raf

Here's mine! Not much to say. I spend a LOT of time in here.

A vote for turbopablo is a vote against tyrany.

Get your votes in! And I'm not gonna nuke them this time!

Also, I love every winner (seriously) but Dev's Sound City has my heart.

Wow! The Sound City has taken a commanding lead! Shouldn't be much longer now!

Congrats to the overall winner Devin with the Sound City Rig! I really love that setup and rig of yours and it's probably my favorite winner so far. So you have won the grand prize, which is an Xotic AC Booster, courtesy of Duncan. Please PM him for your pedal.

2nd Prize goes to Duncan with the Matchless/Bogner Multi Amp rig. I love this setup. Please PM me to let me know which prize you'll be taking (Sonic Stomp, Bill Lawrence, or Boss CH-1).

3rd and 4th Prizes are a tie between _ej_ and TurboPablo. Once I hear from Duncan I'll reach out to you guys to see who wants what.

WOAH

I am teh champion!?!

Duncan has claimed his CH-1. That leaves the Lawrence and the Sonic Stomp.

Lawrence what?
