Hmm.
^^ as you mentioned those players are dynamic and have equally dynamic tones which all differ from one another.
And Multi-efx don't come cheap either... unless you're referring to the less-than-desirable Digitech RP series (pardon me if this sounds harsh and blunt, but I've yet to hear an objectively good review about this series of MFX).
All in all, $499 is a very tight budget that would have difficulties finding even a decent mid-range guitar 2nd hand.
Some things just come a a price aye? :wink: :wink:

eh shredcow become hornycow already ah?
HAHA.
hey shredcow, Daphne Koo is my coursemate at Ngee Ann Poly. though i dont know her personally since she is from another cohort, but always see her around.
wah, i can still remember how she was supposed to be in my class man. saw the class list and was surprised to see her name. but later dont know why she changed to another class.
i am just wondering...
do you know her? why the sudden desire to play for her?

oops, sorry.
went off topic.
anyway, just to share my experience.
when i first started, i bought a cheapskate Ibanez guitar from a soft deal. it was brother leecs.
eh, for $200 bucks, got steve vai authentic signature on it ok!
then i bought a marshall MD series 15 CDR for $199.
but i realised the guitar really cant do shit for me after awhile. the steve vai signature can admire, but the guitar's playability really cannot make it la.
so, i got another second hand offer, this time an Ibanez GRG270. and its been with me since. so yar, the damage for this guitar is $300.
my suggestion would be to search for a second hand guitar deal and get a modelling amp like line 6 spider.
try to get second hand deals la, then there is still hope for your $499.
and anyway, i think its quite impossible to get the various tones of the above players laa. i am sure some people spent even $4999 trying to achieve those tones.
BUT, dont be limited by your budget! if you are determined, spent $49 buy a TGM acoustic guitar also can practice.
the tone is in the player also mah.
:lol:

woah, parody thread!
I think instead of buying starter pack and all that stuff ... maybe should try buying a kinda better guitar ... and for me the important ones ... buy IBANEZ TB 15 its enough (toneblaster 15) dont buy effects first cuz toneblaster amp give a decent overdrive in the amp ... so that means say 150 for amp 300 for guitar .. should be able to get the kinda sound u want

Note: Threadstarter is "new to guitar". So...even if he have Malmsteen/Gilbert's rig, do you think it'll sound good when he play on it?
*Save up abit more and get a decent amp/guitar that will last you for couple of years. Keep a lookout on Soft or Luther's classified ads. Cheers.
