My TV setup, where I end up doing a lot of playing/creating these days while multi-tasking taking in movies due to lack of spare time. But I didn't slack on this rig.

MkIV Wide Body (Mesa Black Shadow C90) + Thiele with EVM12L. Usually play it in Tweed mode, which is a mere 30 watts, but 30 BIG ones.

Fender American Performer - My favorite guitar for cleans. So simple, so pure. Was thinking at one time about getting some expensive, ultra slick Klein Jazzy Cats pickups and making it even more of a clean specialist, but why? Everything already sounds great to me 100% stock through every amp, especially the MkIV.

Boss DD500 - Becoming my favorite delay lately. Very clean, a noticeable improvement in clarity over my old DD-20, although I wish it had Warped mode....

Victory The Jack Preamp - Real tubes. Best through the effects loop and can act as 2 more channels to your amp, but the tonality is so different than the MkIV, I usually just pick one or the other for that day. One of the best feeling and sounding lead channels ever. If the MkIV has solid steel balls, the Victory has bell brass balls, very musical. One of these days, I'll probably pick up the Super Jack head and Victory vert 2x12.

Boss PS-6 Harmonist - My newest. Bought this as a challenge to myself to explore some new oceans. There is a lot to learn to take full advantage of the potential of this, and may force me to do a little research. But mostly, I will explore until I start finding something I like, all cleans for now. I love how you can hit an old, familiar standby chord but it sounds like that chord being played on another planet. But you have to set it up right, or everything can sound like microwaved gibberish. I've always loved the harmonized lines from Maiden, Priest, and others they inspired, etc, and this can do that and a lot more live also with one guitarist. I'm approaching it with the mindset of what would Adrian Belew ('70s Bowie and '80s King Crimson eras), Trevor Rabin, '80s Vai, '80s Steve Howe, and others do? And I'll throw in a little Alex Masi and Reeves Gabrels/Tin Machine chaos later when I get into distortion.... This could come in handy later when I finally get around to re-recording my version of Rosso Profundo (aka Deep Red, neo-gothic horror movie theme song with GREAT improv jam potential).

I demand to be tagged when that is posted. Please and thank you in advance!

Custom cab KSR RCS 212 HW with metal grill (Kyle has now made it an option) to match the head. Loaded with a Redback and a Creamback.

UPDATE:

After a friend and her son had an apartment fire at the end of the summer I was prompted to move my "man hole" (wife's name, not mine) into the den. This afforded me much more space while sacrificing privacy. Since then I've been plotting and organizing and purchasing things here and there all for a.long term plan.

So this is the start of my "wall of sound". It's modest by many of your standards. The left is my down sized bass rig, sans the dBX 160X that is.on loan. Originally was 2 Bag End 4x10 and 2 Bag End 1x18 powered by 2400 watts of class D QSC power amps. The real gem is the Demeter tube pre amp. Before medical conditions forces my retirement, this was what I played most every day.

The middle is my "modern" guitar rig. I'll be adding a second 2x12 cab. Kyle Rhodes is simply a genius.

Finally is my "doom" that may of you helped me build. Thank you all for your sage advice.

Now, to build the pedal boards!

The cab game is STRONG!

Thanks. I'll be ordering a second KSR RCS 2x12 HW with a metal grill this spring I think (that one was the first KSR cab made with a metal grill- he has no added it as an option). That amp will be done (unless I sell the Gemini and get a Colossus)

The pedalboard is very much a work in progress

ABY rig. Lehle ABY splits into EHX 720. I can send loops to either or both amps, ideal for taming the mud in loop-heavy compositions.

Crate cab was a true sleeper, $80 from the pawnshop, turns out it's loaded up with Eminence deltas.

Recently redid my pedal board to fit everything, upgraded from a piece of a cabinet I found at the dump, to a larger, sturdier piece of a cabinet I found at the dump, this time with rubber feet and a strip of 1x1" along the front edge to give it a little lift.

My 'rig', such as it is.

I put together a new half rackstack that I need to take photos of. I neglected to take photos of the cab when I was done loading it with speakers and had it wired up. I still need a 4 space rack to house the Synergy SYN-2 and Fryette PS-2A Power Station (I need a rack kit for the PS-2A). Since that is only 3 spaces, I will possibly get a 15 band EQ or parametric EQ so I'm not tempted to get another SYN-2 with two more modules.

Anyways, I'll try to take a pic tomorrow when the lighting is better.

The off center amp heads are giving me OCD. Cool rig, but OCD nonetheless. (We'll have to cut me some slack until I can grab a rack, etc. for the new setup)

Woof, big agree. Looks like some incompatibility between the Laney's feet and the Marshall foot indents. I have paired good amps with cheap cabinets in the past simply because they looked better together. Aesthetics matter.

Work was throwing out wood so I made a pedalboard from it. Running with the Joyo Horizon Devices clones. Sonicake Sonic Ambience takes place of the Flux Echo I guess
