I'd recommend some Tech 21 Sansamp pedal for what you're looking for. You can listen to some samples over there -> http://www.tech21nyc.com/gt2.html That's just a bit past your budget, IIRC, though... I think Behringer had a ripoff of it too?

Jerich, are you gonna join ALL the forums I'm watching? :P

Are you guys KIDDING ME? LaBrie's tone SUCKS, it sounds like two chained metalzones into a rockman into a digitech processor into a gigant wall of 2" speakers! Besides, legato is just about the sloppiest I've heard by far. Rullo all the way, the man OWNS the fretboard AND he sounds like god...

I haven't tried a maple board yet... How's the difference in feel?

I think Nine Inch Nails did the music for Quake.

I haven't played an ENGL personally, but all the clips I've heard have sounded somewhat... unmusical? I dig the tightness and definition, but as with active vs. passive pickups, I think there's a compromise made. There was a thread on Harmony Central Amps Forum a while back about popular amps...

I have no idea. But it's a breeze. :D Maybe you need to learn some song that is not thrashy to get a breath of fresh air? Something by Europe perhaps?

Your Mileage May Vary It means basicly that what worked out for me, might not work for you ;)

I thought that too at first, but the more I listened to it, the more I started digging it. BTW, I buy my CDs for musical value, not interesting guitar playing, so YMMV.

Well... There are tons of synth plugins out there (I correct myself, MEGATONS), but if you want something that's not a synth (with VCOs, VCFs and VCAs, hehe) you'll have to pay for it. As for bass plugin, unless you mean synth bass again, you're better off with just finding a bassist. Let me...

Strong Bad and Rip Glitter can SLAY them both with one finger.

Both are getting a little predictable nowadays... Can't decide.

Sounds like a cold solder joint. Redo all the solders with a hot soldering iron. If you're not confident in yourself, have a friend do it for you. If it behaves the same, it's high time for a new switch.

Too true.
