You really don't need all the huge rigs that the professionals have. And alot of people don't realize that most of the big rock stars have their personal amps "hot-rodded". The best thing to do is for you to practice playing, to find the sound that you like. It doesn't have to be all that loud, cause you can always mike it in the PA system. But loud=excellant feedback tones, of course this also depends on the quality of your guitar and amp. Experiment with your equipment so you can be versatile, and it'll also help you learn how to set your amp for what you want/need.
Best of luck to you.........

My live rig is a THD Univalve head, an Avatar cabinet and a Korg rack tuner. After every gig, I get a few guitar people wanting to know how I get such a sound. The secret is keeping your signal chain short as possible, and using a good tube amp with fresh tubes. Modelling amps sound okay when you're recording direct or playing at low volume, but they sound like *** loud, no exceptions.
My Uni is a fairly low-wattage amp, which means I can crank it up way loud and use the output tubes for distortion. It's just a whole different world like that. Try it and you won't go back.

The best thing you can do is invest in professional sound equipment. I recently bought a Mackie sound board and it is totally working for me. If you don't have the dough to do that, try and find a soundman. Leave the setting up to the people that do it best.

First, learn all the sounds from your guitar and amp,..lots of combinations.......then add the 'Toys", try to get more effects from your fingers too.

you dont need all of that equipment,although it is nice to have... you just need a crisp sound, you basically have to mess with the knob and stuff, and find what sound the best to you. find your own sound, dont go by everyone elses, it makes you seem more creative that way
