I gig as a one man band, using a Boss Jamstation for backing tracks and a Digitech Vocalist Workstation for vocal harmony. My gigs aren't big - 50 to 100 people. I do older stuff - classic rock, country, blues, standards. Having gotten older (now in my 60's - yuch), I can't carry or lift as much as I used to. Carting around a PA with 15" speakers was destroying my back. And I've been using solid state modelling amps in the 34 lb range, which while not killers, were still more than I wanted to carry.

But I've now found the perfect combination for my situation. I've come to love the tone of the Super Champ XD - it's plenty loud enough for my gigs. And its light weight makes it ideal. For the PA, I got a Fender Passport Deluxe PD-150. It weighs less than 30 lbs total, and puts out a better sound than my 15" system at the volume levels I use. I run the vocal, backing, and a keyboard through the PA, and the guitar through the Super Champ.

Anyway, Fender has made my gigging life much easier. I loved these guys when i started playing in the 60's, and they seem to keep getting better!
