    The most bang for the buck is the M9, no question. With it, you get 99% of the effects you'll ever want.

    Try one of the pocket pods, usable clean tones. After you decide what floats your boat, dive into the pedals.

    You bet. The monkey is smooth and bad @ss all in one pedal. One of the coolest things I ever bought (and from a fellow fretter as well ).

    Well with a name like Maxifunk, I'm thinking you're going to need a wah wah pedal. There's no real funk without wah.

    WHICH ONE you get is a matter of considerable debate. For me, in the realm of pure funky wah tone, the only real choice is the Budda Budwah. I've had one in my chain for over a year and it is funky as all get-out. It doesn't have lots of crazy features or options, but the tone itself is really incredible.

    Other than that there's a whole range of Dunlop Cry Baby wahs you can test-drive to your heart's content. And I've always been a fan of a Vox Clyde McCoy as well.

    Happy hunting!!!

    + 11'ty on that! If more people had a chance to test drive or A/B one, they'd be selling like hotcakes. Very funky vocal tone with pure bypass. VOX makes good un's too.

    I think I am going to go with the boss ME-25 @ $199.00 it is a lot nicer to my pocket!! Line 6 M9 & M13 looked very cool but I'll try the boss 1st and go from there.

    I ....um....3rd the M9. Easy to dial in a close tone and it grows with your playing.

    I'll take that as a yes then?

    By the way, I traded my MK Patriot last week, and the guy sold it today on CL for $185, someone got a really nice guitar for $185.

    WOW that is a crazy price for that axe.

    The GT-6 is from around 2002/2003 from what I could find on line.
    and went for $399.00 USD. So they are selling it for half of the brand new price.
    I guess its a good deal I just wonder could you find a newer model for the same price? Or just add $50.00 and get the ME-25.

    I am sort of on the fence if it is a good deal or not.

    My first pedal was the Boss TU-2. But other then that mine was the BD-2 Blues Driver. For my purpose it get thye job done. I know there are some people who believe that Boss pedals suck tone but the two I have (DS-1) haven't had a problen with either. beside both were cheap and sound great.

    My BD2 makes my ears bleed. Now, that's at least 75% my playing, but I do tend to bleieve those who say it is quite ice-icky on the high end.
