Well I guess I'm really looking for something, maybe simple, that I don't have. I play a Jackson DXMG Dingy (just got new for $500), a Digitech RP300A multi-effects, and I only have a Crate 15W amp, although I have been using my amp and my friends Fender (some'n som'n amp, lol, a little bigger than mine) both connected to my effects. What I haven't figured out yet is what are those pre-amps and some other line processing equipment I see people use.
