So are you saying that if i get a valve amp, my tone would be more beefy even if i have 8's? the amp that i use is a fender princeton 65'- i only use the clean channel with the korg ax1500g. I'm using a gibson classic 57 (neck) and a classic 57 plus (bridge) reissue humbuckers. I don't know what pickups he's using- i know its the stock humbuckers that you can find in the washburn guitar- i forgot the model but it's suppose to be washburn's copy of the gibson es 335. Interesting thing is this. before i got the korg, and i used to use the gain in my fender princeton amp for distortion, whenever i play rhythm, my power chords dont sond thin- it's pretty beefy at all, and whenever we play, the two guitars just blend well. but when i got the korg, and started using the clean channel of the fender amp for the korg which i used for effects and distortion, somehow, my lead sounds improved a lot but my powerchords and rhythm stuff just started sounding unusualy thin. what can u advice?

Depends on the valve amp. Get a good mesa or laney it's going to rock, but that costs $$ and not all valve amps are good.

I personally don't like digital effects. I've never used korg, but the type I have used (digitech) was pretty thin as far as distortion went.

I'm not entirely sure what you can do with the korg or with that amp..would it be possible to use the effects without adding distortion from the pedal and then use the amp's gain channel?
