Yea I kinda ended up getting overly expensive guitars and amps just because I hated the effects so much. Its well worth it tho. A 2nd hand Marshall head n cab aint that expensive really, and you can get a cheap gibson on ebay for about $400. Im thinking about getting a chorus pedal but everytime i buy sumin like that im dissapointed, awiass- wots ur rig and what chorus do ya use?
