I'm a bit old to be hanging out at a music store (it would look kind of, no scratch that, it would look REALLY creepy). Back when I first started playing, it was basically MXR, Ibanez, TC Elec and Boss. Now there are so many "custom" manufactures, I don't even know where to learn what is what and what they'd sound like?
Other than reading the manufacturer's ads telling you why there's is the best, where can one go to learn what they'd sound like? By the way, a couple of local shops around here don't even carry some of the names I read here, so I can't try that. And I don't think the wife would be excited with the buy and try and throw it in the closet cause it sounds like crap, approach.
Thanks,
