OmarBradley Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Well a rig run down is more of a video/description of gear + why the gear works for you + it's tonal characteristics. Maybe I was wrong in assuming everyone here was a gear/tone junkie? The more posts I see, the more I'm just leaning towards "post whatever you want for your submission."

uncivil war Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I'm happy to help in the judging department if you get stuck for someone, but my gear is all pretty horrible so no point participating in the contest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I mean, my rig rundown would take 20 seconds. As far as tonal qualities, you all have ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarBradley Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 I mean, my rig rundown would take 20 seconds. As far as tonal qualities, you all have ears.Well it can be a bit more than that, but it's fine, there's less of a desire for a full detailed run down than I assumed there would be.Anyway, so I guess the rig rundown will be option, and you can just submit whatever you want for the tone shoot out. Judging won't be based on as strict of a rubric, and I'll leave it up to the submitter whether they want to go through clean, crunch, hi gain, etc. or just do one. This means the judges will have to judge in a much more general sense based on what they perceive to be the best sounding, rather than by a specific rubric - which I'm cool with if everyone else is.Would you guys rather there be a rubric, or just a general "gut feeling" judgement on which tone the judges like best?

(The Tele actually sounds quite decent through a decent amp, but mine sounds like it has a blanket over the top of it.) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarBradley Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Alright, so I think we'll just do a "submit whatever you want" type of thing. There will still be some rules, like nothing over 3-4 minutes or so, and the rig run down can be optional. I'll take a few more days to think about some specifics like submission period, and I'll start PMing judges. The one thing I haven't decided on yet is, whether we want a rubric based judgement, or a sort of "who generally sounds best?"Any opinions on that?There was another thing I wanted to mention... but I forget, so oh well.

AxlisOld Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Lol I was gonna record last night but got kinda drunk and my playing was sloppy. The I was like, I'll record tonight, then had to do last minute Thanksgiving prep, got drunk again. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow. People don't get drunk on Thanksgiving, right?
