Wes Borland plays through a Mesa/Boogie and uses EMG pickups. He also uses Boss pedals for his distortion and other effects he uses. So if money is an isue, then I'd just keep saving up your money. Also, don't try to have the same tone as someone else. That's one of the things that makes you different and unique from everyone else. Just mess around with different amps and effects until you find something you like.
