Easily the happiest I've been with my rig in years. :D

[Snax Panther]

The Z-28 MkII is my favorite amp in recent memory. It has outclassed my Two Rock Studio Signature, my Suhr Bella, my Suhr Badger, Carmen Ghia, various Carrs.

This amp just takes everything I toss at it and makes it all sound absolutely unreal.

I couldn't be happier. :)

Additionally, every single pedal I have has a legit use, and most stack well with one another.

Killer setup

Congrats dude, that's a great feeling, and a great looking rig.

Remember this moment when you think you "need" something 6 months down the road!

Man, I’ve never had the chance to play a Dr. Z but I’d love to. Congrats! Those are some damn fine other amps it went up against, that says a lot!

Also, I’ve had the majority of those pedals on a list at one point. Still want to get the Gearbox and Ghost Echo!

 

[JasonE]

Congrats! I have 5 of those same pedals. That Gearbox continues to impress. I am a big fan of the Woodshed too. Of course the Dude and Halo are stellar as well. I have that polytune but am swapping it out for the Peterson mini.

I love it \m/ Congrats!

Sweet!

Props on regulating that voltage out of the wall.

It's always great when you find the sound you have been looking for!

Much congrats!

One of the few amps brands I've still yet to play. They don't pop up locally too often, would love to check one out. What kinda tones are you going for with this rig? Looks awesome!

Man, my style spans so many freaking genres. Today I was jamming to Natalie Merchant's 'Motherland' album, Somewhere in Time by Iron Maiden and some Type O Negative.

Yesterday I was in a massive Frank Zappa / King Crimson mood.

It varies day to day, but this rig can damn near do it all.

It's pretty incredible what can be accomplished with stacking the gain pedals in various ways. The Gearbox allowing you to switch the order is AMAZING.

Oh man, I love your current setup sooo much. Annnd.... The Dude is back!

Amp & curated pedal selection is on point; relative humidity is perfect

I'm also jonesing for a high quality Tele variant right now. When can I move in?*

* BTW, if it helps to influence your roomie selection process: I make excellent Neapolitan style pizza on the regular.

Nice set up
I’ve never heard a Z amp in the flesh but have heard all good things about them.

I could use about 10% more humidity, but it's totally fine!

Man, the Alt-T is my favorite guitar ever. It does EVERYTHING I want it to, and so, so well.

Move in anytime! I've got extra rooms in my house, and, while I don't want to jerk myself off... I'm a hell of a cook.

WITH OUR POWERS COMBINED....

Comically enough the Gearbox is the one pedal I'm a bit ehhhh on. I dig it more stacked than alone, so it's sticking around for now, but I think getting my G3 Anniversary Edition in may dethrone it.

The “Amp Maniac” on the left fascinates me. Modern variac?

I had one of the AmpRx things for a while, but it was way less flexible and didn't seem as nicely built.

The amp maniac is amazing, and you can't exceed the line voltage, so it's incredibly safe.

My walls are sometimes throwing out 125-130, so it's nice to be able to bring it back to 115-120.
