Low budget acoustic/electric set ups

[BB]

Being a cheap SOB, I enjoy searching out bargains at pawn shops, garage sales, junk stores, Goodwill, et al......A bit of hunting has provided a killer little set up for home/jam/practice situations.

First off is a Peal acoustic/electric guitar I picked up for $50.00. Perhaps the best $50 I've spent on a piece of gear. It plays very well and has a very surprising ( loud, rich and balanced ) tone. While the Artec pickup system with a 4 band eq is not the best, it is certainly better than some others I've heard.

Next up is a Vox DA-5 amp I picked up for $15 at a pawn shop. Using the mic input on the back provides a fairly loud, yet clean tone with the Peal plugged in.

Last, but not least is a Korg AX3B multi effects pedal ( about the size of a paperback book ) purchased for $10 at the same pawn shop. It's a bass pedal, but works very well for adding delay and verb tones.

For a total cash outlay of $75, I have a very nice little set-up that provides clean acoustic tone ( with a bit of delay/verb/comp added to the mix ) with a volume level that belies the small size of the amp.

So, please tell me about your inexpensive ( ie, CHEAP! ) acoustic/electric set ups!
