Curious if anyone has used these amps on top 40 cover gigs. I do a lot of cover gigs playing R&B, Pop, Funky and 70's - today's music with 5-7 piece bands and much of my sound needs to be sparkly clean at louder volumes for rhythm chording. I've been using a hot rod deville 410 and with the volume at 5 the amp breaks up TOO MUCH for me. I desperately want a amp that will stay clean.

Music style is a lot of Earth Wind & Fire, Commodores, Cameo, Michael Jackson, Prince, etc.

Will a Mustang IV be the answer?????

I play in a band in the Charlotte,NC area that plays everything from The Who to Halestorm with Cameo and Prince thrown in the mix for the dancing crowd. My Mustang Floor handles EVERYTHING I need it to and runs super quiet when I run it through the P.A. and my powered monitor cool thing is: The Floor behaves pretty close to a tube amp and it is SUPER portable. I haven't tried the other Mustang combos out in a gigging situation, BUT since the guts are pretty similar,I'll bet if run direct,the results will be very similar.
Just my .02

What are you using to monitor your Floor (guitar) on stage, just a floor monitor? And if so what's its power handling (watts)?

I'm using a Mackie powered monitor pushing 400 watts,fed via the left XLR output on my floor, the right XLR feeds the P.A. What is amazing is that I'm able to get that really good musical (tube) feedback through the powered monitor as if I were playing through a tube amp. I have not been able to achieve that with my older Line 6 stuff.
