QUOTE (r1ch4rdh @ Jul 3 2007, 02:07 PM)  Isnt the pod no use for gigging though? no pedals on that for changing tone or effect during a song or solo. My friend tells me the multi-effects gear isnt as good as the idiviual units but some people tell me the opposite. There is a live pod - the PodXT live, has a built in pedal board wah pedal etc - I have it and it rocks

I'd say that a multi effects device would be great for figuring out what you want - and a quality multi effects (PodXT, Zoom etc.) is useful for gigging too.
Other than that, this: http://www.amazon.com/Guitar-Effects-Pedal...4544&sr=8-1 ... is a great book for getting familiar with effects (although you'd have to be somewhat nerdy to read it from cover to cover  ) - greatest thing about it is that it includes a CD with very good examples of the various sounds, different types of distortion etc. Very very helpful, even to people who think they've heard it all And it's written by a guy who knows what he's talking about, and is clearly in love with the whole range of effects.Matt's sound in Supermassive Black Hole is relatively simple to get - fuzz distortion box + low/mid-gain on the amplifier. For the perfect match, the fuzz is a Zvex Fuzz Factory - which really sounds like no other fuzz outthere, although you can get close without it in the case of SmBH - it has endless possibilities . For Supermassive: Gate all the way down, Compression about 3/4 up, Drive and Stability almost maxed, and you're playing an exact replica of the song A Telecaster (or Hyperblack, but there's only one of those guitars in existence - that wasn't really helpful  ) pretty much gives the exact guitar sound needed to emulate the Black Manson, but you should be able to get by with any guitar

Its cheaped to buy a multi effects pedal, than buy each individual pedal.
Just be careful which onne you buy cause the digitech RP series suck... -------------------- __________________________

Yeah but my friend has an RP 250 (which i guess is better than RP100) and i gives a really muddy sound. Digitech has awesome distortion pedals, but for effets their GNX series pwns!!! -------------------- __________________________

Zoom's do crap sounding distortion... seriously, I would not recommend them as they are really fuzzy and digital, no tone what so ever.
