Thread is now about guitars and stuff because there's no new songs coming for like a month :P
Get a nice amp. Seriously, my friend has a multi effects pedal for his tiny Marshall amp. It's really got nothing on my Vypyr :P As for recording, I use a cable from the headphone jack on the amp to my PC.
Just get a nice amp like the Vypyr or one of the Fender amps. I like my Vypyr because it has so many effects and tone options (something like 10 amp models and 28 effects)
Also I'm going to be buying myself a new guitar. It's either going to be this:

Most likely the Mustang as it sounds really really awesome. I still like the feel of the Telecaster, but the Mustang really does appeal to me. It's also got a load of tone options as the humbuckers can be split up into singles. I just need to get my hands on one to try...
