Hi Mary,

Some good things I could think of would be a mutli unit, like the RP100 series from Digitech. I have one of these, used it on Enemies of Reality European Tour with Nevermore as well.

It has a lot of effects, that you can program to sound as you want it. The thing about this is, for the money, it has a lot to offer.

Effects include: The standards, chorus, flange,phase, digital delay,reverb, and even amp modeling as well. It's a stand-alone unit that you can plug right into, put headphones on, and use as an amp as well. Even runs on 6 AA batteries!

Anybody else?

Yes, you can! It would just go in as an effect loop in on a head, or you could run the out into the amp, and back through the guitar.

so you can use it (and get half decent results) in this fashion:
guitar-this thing the thread is about lol-cabinet (or headphones)?
i will try this thing at a guitar center this weekend

That's right man! I would think Guitar Center would have it.

I'd assume that it'd need a power amp if it were to run on nine volts (hence the effects loop statement), but get something nice and clean and you can have a ball with that. The Vox Valvetronix stuff is pretty nice too, if you're looking to spend a bit of coin and have tons of toys in one place.

Also, if you're interested in learning a little circuit design you can start building stuff on your own - great fun, great way to save money, great way to accidentally set your hair on fire... scratch that last one, it's amusing and cheap.
