I have never been able to decide what I want when it comes to music. This is probably why I like modelling a lot.
I have an original Variax which is a wonderful invention, as well as a pretty good guitar in its own right, switching between different guitar models at the flick of a switch is so cool, and it only feeds back when you want feedback. Teamed up with a Pod XT Live it's the perfect recording set up, and ain't half bad as a gigging instrument.
I also have its complete opposite, a Les Paul BFG. I love that guitar so much. It is a dream to play, sounds magnificent, looks pure evil. And it was cheap. You get a Nashville-made Gibson Les Paul with the top of the line chambered mahogany body, the loudest humbucker, a P90 and yet it comes in low because they don't spend any money on varnishes, binding, sanding, etc.
I put up with a small transistor Marshall 12w keyboard amp for ages, but recently decided to get something bigger and ended up with a Vox AD120VT. I have no idea what I want in an amplifier, so switching between different models seemed appealing. It's loud, looks like a classic Vox amp, can be gigged. It will do for now. I like the zingyness of Fender amps sometimes, but I also like Vox crunch and Marshall wailing. I really like Soldano SLO100s but I will never be able to justify dropping £3000 on an amp head.
I wonder how cheap /easy it would be to make my own soldano clone or vox AC30TB clone?
