Great thread.

I really like the new Matrix N12 speakers, big sound, LOUD if you need them to be, super lightweight at less than 17 pounds each (hard to believe), feed by a Matrix GT 800Fx power amp. AXE II plus Furman power supply and power amp into a Gator 4 rack case, it's pretty light considering. It really is great!!! PAs and monitors can vary so I know I will always have my sound at least behind me.

I lug my MFC in a old Roland Backpack designed for their portable recorders, and the big thing is the pedal train for my pedal board which has 4 pedals and 4 switches I use for X/Y -- that's the heaviest thing. But I also use a Rock N Roller cart to haul it all in and out, which makes all the difference in the world.

Use a 2-guitar soft case on my back, or I have the Fender Flight handle/wheeled case that holds 3 guitars and doubles as guitar holder on stage, but you can't find them anymore (I have touring musicians asking to buy mine regularly).

I'm trying to decide which guitar gig bag to go with. Reunion Blues has one called the Aero that looks good and only weighs 7 lbs.

Reunion Blues - Product - Aero Series Electric Guitar Case

Their RB Continental and their Fender Custom Shop gig bags look real good also.

I am not sure what other good brand gig bags there are.

Do any of you know what kind of 2 space rack Dweezil Zappa is using for his Axe FXII in this video at 21:32 into the video?

After many years of trying to get as small as possible I ended up with this rack, plug direct to PA, use IE system, but have a floor monitor provided by sound company in front of me for sustain/feedback etc, it's 4 space, and includes the AXE 2 of course, a G-50 GTR wireless, a MIPRO IE wireless monitor system and a Furman AC215 A. This rack + an MFC with a Mission SP-2 pedal does all i need for any gig.. and it's fairly light, rack is less then 40 pounds. Have been trying to always go as light as possible, but this is as small as I can get it.

Removing the plastic film would help....
