Nice axe! I had a look at some Mavericks when I bought the SG. I liked the sound, but the neck didn't feel quite right - slightly too thin for my tastes. About the thinnest I'd go would be the '63 Les Paul profile.
I haven't seen that particular amp before - it must be a limited edition or something - keep it safe! Should be worth a bit in 20 years. I really like the Valvestate range, but I find that for that kind of money, you may as well spend an extra £50-£100 and go for an all-valve one, one of the JCM2000's or a JTM45 or something. I think the extra tonal quality you get justifies the extra money. That's why I don't like the new Mode Four - it's LOUD (

), but because of the solid-state circuitry, it has a different tone to the pure-tube amps.
The GT-3's a rip-off. I wouldn't go near it at that price. You might be able to find a second-hand one on an auction site, but they get snapped up very quickly. Same goes for the Digitech Whammy - awesome, but over-priced.
As for pedals, I haven't bought any yet, but I built my own Crybaby....
