How We Built This Guide
Documented artist rigs
Every count starts with the sourced, evidence-backed gear of 274 Comedy artists on Equipboard — interviews, photos, and rig breakdowns, not guesswork.
Community signal
Saves and gear-photo tags from players who love this genre add weight, so the lists reflect who actually plays this stuff.
Distinctive, not just popular
We compare Comedy usage to all of Equipboard — so a tuner everyone owns doesn't drown out the gear that makes this genre sound like itself.
