hey everybody. im here in need of some advice. not beginner advice like every other thread is but real advice. alright so i need to know what some good booster/eq pedals are. i'm looking at this one

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...zer?sku=151120

and the regular model which is just a standard 10 band eq. i was wondering if anyone has had expierience with these? i definetly want to get something like this because i really want to be able to boost my level especially for live gigs with my band. and to be able to customize my sound.

next question.

i got a new guitar in june, (alexi laiho-600 black and yellow) and i've been borrowing my marshall valvestate since sept of 2005. so i really need to step it up and get a really good amp setup. not saying that the valvestate isnt amazing. but it just doesnt put as much "uunf" as i'd like it to. i am no "n00b" when it comes to amps. i have been researching amps for over a year now.

but i dont know if i should go rack or stack? here are my candidates (i am definetly open to new suggestions!)

obvious reasons for this. i've played one before, and i had to run to the bathroom because i blew such a huge load.

with the stock cab of course. i havn't played one, but i've seen many vids on youtube of people using it and it sounds great. also i've asked people their opinions on it and its gotten great reviews.

now these are great amps 'n all. but really i cant afford such expensive ones. i'd like to, but its pretty much out of the question, unless i saved up for a while. but of course they're not out of the picture.

here are my choices for a rack setup

http://www.adadepot.com/adagear/gear...s/ADA-MP-1.htm

the ever famous ADA MP1. theres always a couple on ebay so its not probably getting one, and there relatively cheap to. (avg. 250 bucks). i've listened to people use them and it has rockin tone! and of course PG uses them so

classic CoB tone. im not trying to be a "fanboi" but i've heard this thing in action and it is amazing.

some choices from marshall would be the jmp-1 or a valvestate.

the above were all preamps.

now for power amps. im not totally as knowledgable about these as i amp power amps. but i've heard the peavey 50/50 classic is a good one. and it has a good price. other then that i dont know

and would i need a power conditioner? i dont want anything blowing up. i know furman is the way to go with those babies.

anyways i just need to have my mind set on a perfect amp system, w/ a budget of...say $1000? that has killer metal tone and will rock the house down
