Fender PA100 thanks to Sonny. I luuuurve it. It's loud as balls. Coolest part is now I can be lazy and never unplug anything ever again. Have my modular going into one channel, my guitar signal split going into two other channels. Think I'm gonna get a new tank for it to try out

I think any guitar can be good for teh doomz toanz, again, some are better, but it's all a matter of degrees and fine tuning.
With an Epi or any other less expensive guitar, they get assembled and shoved out the door, then onto a shelf at GC or wherever. Unless a bored employee who knows what they are doing sets it up, chances are things are just kinda in there, and not optimal.
To get the most out of pickups, try this. Get your amp set to your favorite sounding clean setting. no pedals, no effects, just strings>pickups>amp>speaker. Now raise and lower the pickup (one at a time) until it sounds its best, the fullest loudest sound that you can get out of it. do the same with the other pup. Now engage them both, to bassy? lower the neck pup a bit. to much treble? lower the bridge one. When you get it close to "best" sounding, fine adjustments work better. A single turn can have quite an impact. if you've allready done this or you do it and still are not happy with the sound, There are bunches of great pickups out there you can try. I'd keep the stock ones in a drawer so if/when you sell the guitar you can put it back to stock. I'm a fan of Lace alumitones, I'm sure others will pipe in with their favorites.

Guitar player for one of my bands picked up one of these today, got to try it out, daisy chained all four channels together and dimed everything, damn that is one dirty sounding fender. Sounds great!

Man, I think changing gear that often and that fast would give me cancer! Of course I don't have the same amount of stuff as a lot of guys on here, but at the same time I don't know how I could feasibly use all of the things I kind of want anyway. The idea of a dual amp rig is becoming increasingly common, as is the backup guitar I want for the band that I don't play in.
do it. let the whoring flow through you.

I saw this picture of Hendrix, all he used was a wah.... And not even the Jim Dunlop Jimi Hedrix wah, just some old thing.....
Jimi didn't realise the horrible tone suck we had to listen to every time he used that wah.
Fender blacktop jaguar and a Vox Ac4tv. Technically I got this yesterday, but didn't get to jam it till just now. Played it for about an hour and I really enjoyed it. Being solely a bassist for a while now, I'm blown away by how easy it was to just riff on guitar.(not to mention when I owned a guitar last I was into a different form of metal.) Bass is a totally different beast when it comes to just sitting and playing. It's hard to make slow repeated chords fun with bass by itself.
*edit*
Played another hour(ish) and holy fuck guitar strings are like razor blades compared to bass, but loving it. Damn I wish I could crank this thing in the barracks.( In a normal barracks there'd be no problem, but this is training command bull shit. Regular barracks are like a frat house.) Can't wait to get home. This and my new acoustic 370 that I've done no more then made sure works. Not to mention I literally just started running a dual rig right before I left.
I've got allot of fun times in my future.

Yeah, it's a pretty simple build inside. It's super light weight too. I'm just glad the dimensions match my Emperor. Now I just need to match the speaker impedance.
