I got started with an Ego Twist.  Decided to go ahead and buy a Provari.  I figured I'd go ahead and buy something great instead of buying a few good ones and then getting something great.  I also figured if I went ahead and bought a Provari I wouldn't need to buy more mods.  Yeah, I was wrong.  I now have a Magneto and an MVP.  The Stingray is too sexy not to own.  I'm on the waiting list for an NES controller mod.  A pipe mod is in my near future.  I'm sure there's going to be more after all that.
