I am not going anywhere and that ' s why i love these digital deals . <| sep |> Whats funny is Im an AirBnB host and its only the people who ' ve ive given a deal for a few dayz or one night or this one student I shared my room with for 3 months at a lower rate than any of my other guests ever . who left Negative reviews . Those who pay more leave glowing reviews . The world is crazy indeed . <| sep |> Not world class but top 4 definetely . Edit top 4 on the PL . <| sep |> If a metallooking singlecut would be to your liking , the ESP LTD EC 256 is a imo one of the best guitars for the price if you don ' t want a black strat . It ' s normally about $ 400 but it should be on sale these days , so you can get it for like $ 300 if you ' re from the US that is , black friday yaddayadda . As far as amps go , that ' s a really tight budget . ~~ I hear good things about the Monoprice amps , but they ' re based on Laney Cubs , so I don ' t know if you can get metal tones out of them without a gainboost . But since they ' re like $ 120 you should be able to squeeze a Joyo Ultimate Drive or some other BoostOverdrive into your budget . ~~ EDIT I just looked these up , they ' re definetly not suited for high gain . You could look for a used JetCity JCA 22 or look into desktop amp sims like BIAS Iplaying through your PC is an option , they should be on sale these days too . You ' d need an USB interface then . As for reverb , delay etc . you should be fine with your multy fx unit for now , these kinds of digital effects have been around for decades so any halfdecent multifx should produce usable results .
