I don't see what's the problem here. He has relatively bad gear, BUT HE LIKES IT. Isn't that what playing music should be like? He's already happy with his gear thus he has saved lots of money in the long run.

I take back what I said about the Multi-fx units! I was just generalising, and mostly talking about the Zoom and Boss cheap ones.

However I came across the Korg AX10G (I know its cheap!). I watched the demo vid on their site and to be honest it sounds really good for overdrives!

Go check out the video:

I'm actually thinkin about getting one now as I cant get a "proper" valve tone at lower volumes anyway, and the Vox model actually sounds great!

How they sound through a clean valve amp is another matter though :?
