Same music plus ZZ Top and SRV, different guitar: Fender Squire Strat with an upgraded set of pickups, s/s/h (single coil, single coil, humbucker in the bridge) and the amp that came with the Squire pack.
I am running my 15 amp into a bass amp and it sounds pretty decent. I also have a Steve Vai Bad Horsie pedal.
The next step is going to be a bigger amp. I am leaning to one I saw at Mars. It is a Behringer Blue Devil 60. It has a bunch of effects built in.
I would go to your favorite music store and play around with some of their stuff until you find what you like.
