Hello, a decade and a half ago when I was a teenager, I rocked a newbie Ibanez, a low grade marshall, a metal-zone and a DD5 (unfortunately I don't have any of these anymore). Took a long break, I'm returning to the guitar and picked up a mid grade strat a few months ago. My goals for now are to get better and well rounded, but I don't currently play in a band. I need some general advice for what kind of gear to get to take my practicing up a few levels. My budget is 4-8 hundred, but I'd rather be really cheapo right now because I don't need the extra fancy stuff to practice. My skill level, going by the videos on this site, is 4-6; my lead technique being significantly ahead of my rhythm.

I do have a garbage amp that I've appropriated from a friend so my first thought is I need a delay or looping pedal so I can play chords and then do scales over them, in various modes and rhythms. Am I correct in thinking that a looping pedal is the first priority for me if I'm interested in practicing theory and rhythm concepts?

Second, I am interested in pro tools and recording down the road, I was thinking about purchasing that 100 dollar jack thing to plug into my computer. Can I use this tool to practice ie record a progression, play it back through my pc (yes pc) and jam over it? It sounds like it could work in theory, but I imagine it's far less of a hassle to just do a loop through the amp via a pedal.

Third and last, is there such a thing as a small amp that's of a higher quality than a bigger amp? I was thinking of picking up an amp for 300-400 that's small but relatively good sounding, getting a looping pedal and that jack thing and that should take me to around 600 budget wise.

Sorry for rambling, cliffs: what should my gear priorities be if my goal is to improve my theory and become more well-rounded, with a budget of 400-800.
