I like single cause they arent as confusing and most of the time they sound better. My setup: Squier Bullet-->Beringher Vintager AC112

Hopefully my setup by the end of the year: Fender MIM Strat with uprgraded p/u's, pots, sheilded cables, etc..---> (in no apparent order yet) Danelectro fab distortion, danelectro EQ, EH big mff pi, vox wah, some kind of amp switcher/selector(think the Voodoo Lab Amp Selector, just not as expensive)->Beringher Vintager AC112(Exellents clean with reverb tone, but crappy overdrive) and Epiphone Valve Junior(Hopefully will give me that good overdriven tube tone) 8)

Stairway to Freebird!

I have always been in favor of making the fewest connections between my guitar and amplifier as is possible. With stomp boxes you always run the risk of dead batteries , bad patch cords , noise generated by multiple patches , accidental disconnects , power supply issues and increased set-up time and the list goes on and on . I found an amp with 3-channels that allows me to have clean , rhythm and lead sounds with built in effects for each channel and have been satisfied with it . Set-up is a snap and I have fewer things to carry . This is only my opinion . You do what's best for you .

If I claim to be a wise man , it surely means that I don't know .

Th best effect pedal is an old MXR overdrive with an almost dead battery.

All tube amp, equalizer, attenuator. In that order.

I dunno - I fancy the Korg multi-effects gadget...only £115, I must be able to find a way to justify getting one.

Its basically a thing that works with tube amp that allows you to get cranked tube tones tones at low volumes. :)

Distortion, distortion, distortion.

Followed closely by overdrive pedals and wah pedals. (What can I say? I'm a purist)
