can you describe its limited tonality in any way?

I think I'm past playing Zeppelin or Rush or Clapton with bar bands, and looking for something that can snarl some rockabilly licks, or switch to some jazz chords, or plug in a fuzz pedal and go old school garage. I also don't want to spend more than 1000 bucks tops.
