Currently, I own DT990s pro.

Need closed back headphones to listen music at work.
Also to plug on my guitar effect box. The DT990s are a little bit too treble heavy to play with my guitar without annoying noise.

Maybe the M50s ? I tend to like bass tho

DT770s? Closed back and have bass. Nice highs too. I've had mine for a week and am very happy for $160USD. Not sure how much the price will differ in CA

Edit: looks like its 225 Canadian. Sorry didn't realize the difference, figured conversion would keep it the same

I'd recommend the DT770 PRO 80 ohm. ItalMedoly currently have them on sale for 180$. Free shipping too.

I've been fighting the urge to buy a pair for the past couple of weeks.

Here is a used set of DT770 600 ohm for $20 over your budget.  600 ohm are generally considered to have the most balanced sound- you can read about the different signatures here.

Ain't the DT770s also a little bit high on treble, if I remember. I did A/B test with the DT990s. Btw Ill mostly buy headphones from LongMcquade locally, unless they don't sell what I want.

You might want to checkout the closed Ultrasones. They can be bright like the 990s but probably not quite as much and they have great bass. They have more of an in-your-face presentation than the Beyers but I'm thinking that might actually work well with your guitar.

So I went to the store and tried the ATH-M50S and DT770s 80
 
My 10$ Closed Back full size sony have more soundstage than those ATH-M50s. What's all the hype for this headphone ?
 
Going to try some Beyers COP this week tho. The DT 770s are easily leading so far.

You can pick up some 770 pro 80's at long and mcquade for 185$ http://www.long-mcquade.com/products/11085/Pro_Audio_Recording/Headphones/Beyer_Dynamic/DT770_-_80-Ohm_Studio_Headphones.htm

I really preferred DT250-250 over DT770-80.  The DT770s had painfully sharp treble and one-tone ("THUMP") bass that I found had little definition unless they had serious amplification.  DT250 have much better tonal balance, much higher quality bass (not at all emphasized tho) and much better mids & treble.  DT770s soundstage is far bigger however.
