I play in a Black Sabbath tribute band and currently use the FM3 into a pair of JCM900s into a pair of Marshall 1936 cabs spread on both sides of the stage and do the 20ms delay between left and right for a doubling effect. The FM3 is connected to the JCM900s into the effects return so they're just power amps. Power amp modeling is turned off on the FM3. I play these amps at half volume and it's very loud but it's what I need. We rarely have the opportunity or need to run it through a PA.
With that said, I would like, at a minimum, to replace those heavy JCM900 amps but also ideally replace the Marshall cabs with something lighter. Although the Marshall 1936 cabs don't weigh too much. I've been looking at the Crown XLi2500 and it has enough power but if there's something out there that could replace everything and is easier to lug around then I'd like to hear thoughts and suggestions.
