^ That. I'm trying to figure out how to spend this thing, and get the most out of it.

Musically, my band (and my playing, to an extent) is pretty similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvnkA...eature=channel

Most of the stuff I want can't be bought with $100 here, so I'm a bit lost. I was thinking some sort of effects pedal, but I'm not sure what I can use. Already have distortion and chorus covered, and have a GNX3000 on loan from a friend that can do most anything else well enough for live use, so unless there's something really good available, I'm at a loss.

Also thought of a small interface, but the GNX3000 is a fairly decent one, so I really don't "need" one of those right now.

The only other thing I could think of is a wireless unit, but I don't know which ones are good enough to use.

So yeah...I need suggestions!

Thanks in advance!

I'd get one of those spiraley instrument cables. I've been told they're made by fender.

Just stock up on supplies... extra cables, strings, polish, and such. That way you'll always have spares on hand.

^ You know, I think you're right. Still, it'd be nice to get something new to play with out of this, you know? Maybe a cheap dano pedal or something? I know some of those are pretty good, if a bit cheap. That or a synth...the SB-7 is cheap and not digital, while the GNX has less-than-stellar tracking when playing anything but single plucked notes. Thoughts?
