[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5962412, member: 19675"] Hijack MY thread, will you?!?!?! :) You can get a small sub-20w tube amp for under $500 from makers like Blackstar, Carvin, Ibanez, VHT and Vox, and a bunch more. Solid-state amps are generally cheaper per wattage, but tube amps are louder. A 15w tube amp will be louder than a 30w solid state amp. And a 40w like my HRD is LOUD! I tried out a used 6w VHT like this one and it was loud enough I didn't feel like going past halfway. [url]http://www.guitarcenter.com/VHT-Special-6-Ultra-6W-1x12-Hand-Wired-Tube-Guitar-Combo-Amp-H73575-i1884886.gc[/url] Teles & Strats are classic rock guitars, and they're pretty common in funk, too. They range from $499-799, cheaper if you go with Squier. Not only that, but other manufacturers make their own versions of Stras & Teles. For instance, Godin (a VERY reputable manufacturer out pf Canada) has this one: [url]http://www.themusiczoo.com/product/7770/Godin-Session-Electric-Guitar-Vintage-Burst/[/url] You can also get good results going with some of semihollows I mentioned upthread. MultiFX pedals run $120-500, and DigiTech's entry level one isn't bad [url]http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/RP255/[/url] On the higher end are things like DigiTech's iBP-10 (which requires you use an iPad) [url]http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/iPB10[/url] And then there's stuff that falls in between, like DigiTech's iStomp, the "Ultra Boy" of multiFX pedals. [url]http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/iStomp/[/url] So that rig could be had for under $1000...barely. However, there's loopholes. MultiFX pedals are solid state devices, and I'm not sure how they sound going through a tube amp. Instead, you might be able to get a solid-state modeling amp and not bother with the MultiFX pedal. And honestly, I don't know that you need all that much in the way of pedals for mainstream rock/funk. A good analog Wah, Tremolo, and distortion/OD pedal probably get you most of what you need! And, of course, you can do even better if you go used. So here's a sample rig like you described: Godin "Strat" for $500 + 6w VHT amp for $380 + DigiTech mFX pedal $120 _____________ $1000 [/QUOTE]
