All budget stuff nothing fancy but gets the job done(mostly). I'm only a begginer but like to get close to the sound of the piece I'm trying to play. Have done that way too many times learnt a piece ,practiced for ages just with an unplugged guitar. Then found it sounds all wrong after adding the effects. Kokko compression,mosky noise gate,mosky golden horse overdrive,caline Englishman distortion, and finally my trusty ancient rp55 for anything else. Though mostly as a drum machine to keep me in time All played through an old Peavey blazer 158. Total cost around £160 including the amp(£20 from eBay like new) and a cheap wireless setup. The mosky golden horse is copy of I think a klon centaur? I might be wrong but for the price it's really impressive. So there's my super budget setup. It keeps me out of trouble. Except for with my wife! Oh and the neighbors

These two are the most relevant to my tastes in playing style at the moment: Richard Watson (BIM) https://www.youtube.com/user/CottonwoodBlossom For all those 80's LA session guitarists like Lukather, Huff and Landau. He's a great explainer of nuance and has consummate taste in gear. Dave Price https://www.youtube.com/user/fretmelt1 For all those funk, disco, soul and RnB covers plus he offers a course that focuses on essential elements of Alan Murphy's style. He makes a lot of guitar parts for my favourite tunes accessible for students.

I've tried my guitars through my Zoom B1on multi fx. They only really sound good on the ultra clean or clean with a bit compression effects. You can get a nice clean funk tone. I've also tried the basses through the G1on, and although almost all the preset effects sound horrible with a bass, there's four or five, mainly those that are mostly clean with a splash of reverb or a bit of delay that sound really good.
