Best Grunge Guitar Rigs Under £500
The best grunge guitar rigs for a £500 · Sweet Spot budget. 4 artist-matched rigs — recommended guitar, amp, pedals, and signal chain.
Why It Works
The complete grunge rig at £500: a Strat or Jaguar-style guitar, a Fender Blues Junior or similar tube amp, a Big Muff Pi, a DS-1, and a Small Clone chorus. Cobain's In Utero was recorded with near-identical components. This is not an expensive tone.
