:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: You win.
I had to laugh out loud thinking of sitting in on a blues jam with that rig.
Personally, I'd go with a '62 Fender Tele (original issue) through a Fender Bassman. No pedals. Not the most versatile rig, but MAN, it would sound bluesy.

Re: What's your Ultimate Blues Rig?
An alder/maple tele with antiquities or CS nocaster pus through pretty much any tweed fender amp.
or a strat with alnico pros or antiquities into a brownface or blondeface tremolux, vibroverb or vibrolux.
Or a McCarty soapbar into a bf super reverb.

Re: What's your Ultimate Blues Rig?
All I played in the 90's was blues and bluesrock, and got to open for bands like Govt Mule, members of Allmans, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Blues Traveler, and Eric Sardinas, and bunch of others.
At that time, I was using Fender Strats with 54's or Fat 50's into a Dunlop Wah, Fulltone FDII (orange), Fulltone 69, Voodoo Lab Vibe, split out to a Blues Pearl rig that was custom made. I had a cost deal endorsement with Blues Pearl, so I had a bunch of them. I usually had a highgain BP head in stereo with a BP Bluesmaster. They're basically like vintage Fender, but navy/white instead of black/silver.
Right now, I'm doing more modern rock with the Bogner/Les Paul/McCarty/Strat, but last time I did a blues gig, I used my beatup sunburst strat, Klon, Chieftain. It sounds like a more British sounding Stevie Ray tone. The Chieftain is kinda like cross between a Bassman and JTM 45.

My Grosh through a Fuchs ODS (Dumble clone).
A Bruno S100 would be even better :32:

My Sheraton with Phat Cats through my Bassman head and my Vox Buckingham cab loaded with a Jensen and a Celestion V30. The volume on the amp is set right at the point where I can go from clean to dirty just by fiddling with the guitar's volume knobs or varying my pick attack.
