Just for amps.Knob to sound ratio?

I like Mesas, but wasn't wowed by them because I just kept fidgetting and couldn't nail the sound in my head. Other amps, a couple of minutes and bam. It's a conceptual thing. That's one of the Mark V's downfalls, and the Revelations too.

Hey lads,
Just a quick one;
I'm writing a funk inspired EP and i need some guidance.
Since crushing my hand in a work place accident earlier this yeah I have given up Metal and picked up my acoustic and basically went back to basics and Good Technique.
I have started to write the title track to my EP and i need a Funk chord progression with G#9sus as the Tonic.
It has a few licks here and there but is pretty straight forward.
Thoughts?

A good funk chord progression for that would be
G#9sus
(yeah what a smart arse! hohoho!!)
Funk with too many chords becomes 70s fusion.
Just split it with some gaps (ie create that very important tension) and use some fills that are simple triplet type chromatic runs or something like from the F or Bb to add some harmonic tension without actually having a progression. Use your melody on top to create the tensions relative to the static harmonic background as well.

Have you guys heard much about Crate Powerblocks? I'm thinking of selling my big Randall head and getting one. I use my pod for pretty much everything these days, and I find it doesn't really matter what amp I run it through, it sounds pretty much the same. Good quality tube heads sound a bit clearer, but not enough of a difference to warrant the cost.
$250approx for one of those Crates! 120watt solid state. Basic EQ.

So you don't think that just as an amplifier it won't do me any justice? The POD covers all my tone needs, and basically sounds the same through just about any amp.

You're all thinking small!
I want one of these powerblocks for the following.
Plexi 50, dummy load, reamp.
They are a great, clean poweramp. So running your pod as a pre would work pretty damn well. It'd certainly give you quite the viable tone. Not as nice as the original, analogue models, but good all the same. If you don't buy it, I will.

Hooray for metalcore.
It's become a sort of release from what I'm recording. Which I'm waiting on Triple J to approve.

Tis a medium output rail pickup.
And it's fantastic.
It's got high end punch, and the low end seems to really thump. Not ideal for most metal, but I like the tone, and you can EQ most of the negatives out.
The problem I encountered is the Alnico neck pickup (which is great too) is MUCH lower output, so switching between the two needs a boost. Or else I just lower the rails and get a great tone, but lose that rock/metal side.
