Great for everything i've found, lead/soloing, chrords etc. what gear you got at the moment???

umm, I've got a Ibanez GRX40 (cheap entry-level guitar) through a fender FM 212R 100w 2x12 solidstate... I've got a korg AX10G multi-effect but I rarely use that since the only thing I really want is the crunch, I don't really care about having a flanger and all that... it is nice to have it whenever I want a wah or an echo though... I play moderately hard rock all the way to metal. both rhythm and lead. I like more of a clear yet distorted sound, here, maybe I can example:
I like this
