Budget electric rig

Here's my view of best bang for the buck, bearing in mind that I only play slide on electric, and the tones are basically blues style:

Ibanez Jet King guitar. Good tone, excellent sustain, versatile pickup switching, good neck profile, hardtail, design not too way out.

Epi VJ combo amp. Only one knob, great warm tone, plenty of volume for home use.

Pedal chain. Behringer two-knob compressor, Bad Monkey OD pedal, delay or reverb of choice. I use an Ibanez Tonelok DE-7 delay/echo, there might be better cheaper choices, and some might prefer reverb or chorus.

If was adding to that, it would be something to get a saturated clipped sound, maybe another 808-style pedal to chain up with the Bad Monkey, or a Rocktron Zombie, as recommended to me in alt.guitar.

What's your choice?
