gear dilema!!


hey everyone!
cutting straight to the point, im going to have a sort out and get some brand new gear, iv got a jem now and im looking to get a new amp and some pedals.
i mostly do progressive rock like dream theater, and love the vai/satriani type stuff, but also like playing symphonic metal like nightwish.
i need you guys advice on what amp and pedals could deliver a really nice lead sound like what vai gets, but can also get a really metal distortion tone. any ideas?
amp-wise im looking at getting a 50 watt combo

Re: gear dilema!!


If your looking to get that "symphonic" metal sound, you will want to get an ENGL. That have great lead tones also. I have a buddy of mine that has the Screamer 50 combo. I personally like the Thunder 50 Drive combo. They also have a new combo called the Raider 100. I haven't heard one of those yet. My favorite combo they make though is the Souvereign Series. I'm not sure what your budget is though.

Just my .02...
