The question becomes not just 'do you *know* your gear isn't the best' but 'can you actively recognise this by its effect on your performance?'. I know, for example, that I could make good use of a better acoustic guitar than any of the five (all cheap copies) that I own. But I don't think I'd be a much better guitarist playing a Turner Model 1 ($3000) through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier head (also $2-3000), than I am playing a Tokai Les Paul ($500) through a Marshall JCM800 ($600). It'd be nice, though :)
