Ooh, I forgot to mention about my choice in amps... I'm a vintage guy, almost a purist, but I recently got a Line 6 Spider 3, and it's amazing. I liked it so much, I traded my vintage Marshall tube amp for it. I know, it sounds like sacrilege, but go give it a try at the guitar store. I've got the 120 combo, but the small $100 jobby works great, too.
