Hello everyone. I haven't played guitar in years but I have been anxious to get back into it lately. So, I need to buy equipment and currently have nothing.
For starters, I'm looking at some Ibanez guitars, some amps, and will be getting the following and would like your thoughts?
Pedals: Original Crybaby Wah MXR Distortion Marshal MG100DFX
Not sure about what Ibanez guitar but do have some questions about the Marshal and guitars.
When looking for an amp, should I be looking for something with a great clean channel since I'll be using a distortion pedal or should I be looking for something with a good sounding distortion which my pedal will compliment? Do you think this amp is good and will last if I ever want to add more effects or should I bite the bullet and save up for a more expensive amp?
What do you guys think is a good starter Ibanez guitar? My budget on guitar is around $500-600 as well as on the amp. Eventually I will most likely put the Dimarzio or EMG 81/85 pickups.
Thanks in advance!

so, you have 1200 to spend? 600 for a guitar 600 for an amp? or 300 and 300... i would recommend to save up a little.. for a Line 6 spider or a Roland Cube...if you can, a Vox ad they also have effects included but i need that info about the money

Thanks for the reply. I just got back from Guitar Center and bought a few things.
Marshal MG100DFX which they were having a good special on Original Cry baby MXR Wylde Overdrive Ibanez GRG170DX
I understand the guitar is decent, but I'm just starting to play again so I will see how this goes. If I really start getting back into playing, I'll probably buy a Prestige with the Dimarzio pickups.
