I'm also thinking of taking my effects peddle, they supply the stuff like amps and leads, but my effects peddle has about 80 effects and its trippy as fuck, and i know what you mean about the whole flow thing. When your really into the music, and you don't concentrate on doing it right but concentrate more on the vibe and the beat and the acual music, it flows alot better. Other wise all i think about is "omg my hand is killin me" and i always get the wrong bit at the wrong time. God damn nerve's suck. But yeah im gonna plug my guitar in my amp now and my effects peddle and see what effect works good with what.
