here is my problem.. im starting to get really good at guitar. im into all the techniques and have mastered them.. that includes finger tapping very quickly, hammering, pulling off, etc. the only problem is that my amp and guitar **** and i have no money. for example..when i finger tap on my guitar it is not clear at all and it sounds really bad compared to when i do it on my friends ibanez. im trying to get a heavy sound but all i have on my amp is a “boost” effect which is not really much of a distortion. im guessing its my guitar though also.. pickups are pretty bad and everything. i have an epiphone les paul special II and a Studio 10S epiphone practice amp….should i just get a new guitar/amp or a distortion pedal or what? any suggestions on an amp. i might get a Gibson Vintage guitar or maybe an Epiphone Prophecy with EMG pickups =] what do you guys think?

money is probably the issue here. advice: no matter how good yur guitar is, the quality of yur amp plays a HUGE difference, as that where the sound ultimnately comes out. save up 4 a really good amp, and then get a good guitar later on…i bought a cheap 2nd hand guitar that came with a shitty amp, and i immediatly upgraded to a fender amp that was about 1000 bucks and the sound i get is fine…im not saving up for a guitar now, im happy with this one. i just got a special effects board and its fricking awesome. im a distortion player…so a **** guitar still sounds good!
