I would check out line 6 stuff. they have lots of cool shit at that price range.Just courius what Jackson model did you buy?
I bought a DK-2 Pro lefty in quilt top blue. Not a custom shop, couldnt afford $1400. For the $$ the dk-2 should suit me for a while. Im just bored of my other ibanez's, i need a step up..plus im lefty which kills my chances of ever ownin a really kick ass guitar, that isnt like $3000 bucks
I Have a POD 2.0, zooms, Diditech Studio tube,Yngwies pedal, comressors/gates a old vintage deltalabs echo unit, EQ's, tons of rack gunk..if it was under $200, I prolly have tried it or had it..shit I even got suckered into gettin one of those line6 "guitar ports", talk about a waste of $125...
Now that Ive "grown up", its time for some real gear and real tone. If I saved up for say, 4-6 months (also known as "cheep ass ramen noodle diet") I could potentially afford all of Marcel Coenen's gear and then some. I really like the tone and look (and portability!) of a mesa simul class power amp, I checked ebay, they sell for like $500-1000, the marshall preamp kicks ass, and its only $350-400, and a cab wouldnt run me more than $300 or so..would the rocktron replifex be a nessesity? god, am I a gear n00b or what? lol
anyways, after seeing a couple of Marcel's videos (especially "Moyra") I pritty much got it in my head that I could get that sweet ass Vai tone without having to spend thousands upon thousands of bucks for it..
so what should I do?
thanks guys..
