[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5962698, member: 8835"] I'm not aware of any pedals that aren't solid state. I don't think there's any with tubes in them. And folks feed them into tube amps all the time. But he should be able to get an amp with some FX built-in (distorion/OD is almost standard on all amps, forex). That would forgo getting any pedals for a time. on prices, a Line6 Spyder IV 15 can be had new for $100. Line6 Spyders are coming chock full of FX now. I'm not entirely a fan of that, but it makes it reduces equipment for a bedroom player. that leaves plenty of room for a guitar in the budget. A solitary Wah should be affordable, or get the expression pedal for the spyder amp and use it as a wah (if it enables that). I like Line6 pedals, because they hook into PC/Mac with USB and a handy app for configuring them. Smoothest interface I've seen because the UI looks like the actual pedals you're modelling. their floor Pod plus is running at $199 now (I paid $300 for my Pod XT Live which was its precursor a few generations back). This stuff is getting more affordable. If you hit the used section at the music store, you can shave some more bucks off on price. Amps are pretty rugged, so those are less likely to have problems. I got my used Spyder II 75 for $100 at GuitarCentaur when it was still being sold for $300 new. [/QUOTE]
