Schecter might be worth a look, too. There are interesting models in that price range like the Nick Johnston and Jack Fowler traditionals.
I've got the same one! How do you like it? Unfortunately mine doesn't get much play because it's so freaking neck heavy. Love the Duncan pickups in it though.
Right now it only sees bedroom jamming, but will hopefully will see a band environment soon. My thoughts on each component:
Korg Pitchblack Custom: Keeps me in tune and is easy to see and read. The Korg has a power out, so I might daisy chain the compressor off it to get another pedal on the board later.
SP Compressor: Originally was trying it out as an always-on pedal, but it felt like a compromise between my humbuckers and single coils. Now I've set it for when I want a squishy, clean rhythm sound.
Friedman Smallbox: Does the amp-in-a-box thing, makes my amp sound more like a Friedman, so no complaints. Still feel like I'm dialing it in as a good crunchy rhythm channel. I go back and forth between it and a DS-1W.
Blues Driver Wazacraft: Using it in the custom mode as a solo boost in both volume and gain. Sounds really good.
Carbon Copy: It's the analog delay staple. Had one when they first came out, sold it when I took a break from playing, and bought it again.
Supro Amulet: Very similar to a Fender amp, but with a more leveled frequency response thanks to the Celestion speaker (i.e., not as mid scooped). Takes pedals really well, but I've noticed with ODs and distortions that things can get very bright very quickly. Right now it just stays on the 1 watt setting. Sounds great though with both single coils and humbuckers.
There's a Slurm Zero commercial in the middle of the episode and he's old in it, hence the comment/question. 😅
