mike, stone, and ed's guitar sound

Hey, armanhammer and I seem on the same wavelength today.
When I said that teh price tag would give it away, I meant that they are expensive.
A tubescreamer is not really worth adding to your solid state amp, and certainly not to teh effects pedal you have.
You actually already have about teh best budget rig that you could get.
I'm gonna suggest that you spend some more time learning about gear ,a dn playing a lot of different stuff in shops and other musos before you bust your wallet trying to upgrade to a tube amp just yet.
Seriously try accessing some user groups for settings for your GT-3, cos while us tube snobs agree that tubes are teh best, those pedals can give great sounds when set up, and lots of giggin professionals relay on tehm for easy access to teh "right " tones to keep the punters happy.
Tube amps are expensive and loud and not necessarily the best idea for you at present.
They are awesome fun though, and you should try to play some soon.

Well, he DID say he wanted a PJ sound and since PJ does in fact use a tube screamer with tube amps, I figured I would let him know. Anyway, I have a cheap ts-5 that should go for about 40 bucks but BE CAREFUL! I was lucky and got a good one. The BOSS BD-2 Blues Driver or BOSS SD-2 overdrive are also GREAT subs. I got both the pedals from a fellow gearhead for one KICKASS deal(thanks again!), I couldn't be happier with my tone and sound, I get a great 'Stone' sound from these too...

Don't get in a snit man, PJ use TS and TUBE amps, not a solid state modelling amp like the Roland. It has similar OD cicuits to the TS already in it, so adding one ain't gonna help.
I know ya'll obsessed with Fender + TS-9 here but that doesn't account for even Mike's Marshall use let alone all the other bands and sounds anyone might want to play along to.

I thought tailoring an answer to a 14yo with limited resources and some pretty decent gear already might be a good thing.
