Even he admits his "guitar sounds" are more from different effects , Eventide, "boutique amps"-- LOVED That one! etc.
A good inexpensive toy would be the Digitech GNX series.
This has a ton of pre loaded "sounds" and if I remember correctly some are even titled after the songs they were "copied" after. you can create your own and play like 8+ different effects at the same time. HOW COOL IS THAT!?!?!
Price around 250--350 US
I'm saving to buy one. Played on it and had a ball and can see myself locked in a room wailing and twistin' knobs for days :p
