okay, after working all summer, Im going to have enough money to buy some pretty good stuff.

basically Ive narrowed it down to two things that Ive been wanting.

a Tube amp
or
a synth keyboard.


I can afford the Peavy Valve King 112 combo and the Korg MicroKORG. The reviews for both are great, but Ive just really been trying to decide which I need more.

I have both an amp and a keyboard at the moment. both are cheap as crap (behringer amp and Casio keyboard) and dont have really good tone. True, I have tweaked the Behringer to get some good tones, but its far from a good tube amp's tone. As for the Keyboard... its just cheap.

I play alot of weirdish stuff. thats part of the reason I want a Synth, so I can get tons of awesome sounds out of it. Also I want it as a good background instrument, as I play alot of metal too.

according to the Peavy reviews, its mostly a blues amp. Thats great though, because I'll be playing through the clean channel with my Digitech.


so yeah, sorry for the rant. I just really cant decide what I want. Do any of you have suggestions?

or even suggestions for better equitment I dont know about? ($450 tops)


thanks guys.
