Thanks Dave, I have a Boss GT-100, just wondering how it sounds with pedals and effects. My choice would be the Maui 5 Go but it's not yet available and almost 3X the cost of Freeplay.

Try to get your FreePlay refurbished from Mackie. It's a nice speaker, but I don't think it's worth the retail asking price. Also, please read my thread on Mackie tips. The preamps for the 1/4" are weak. It will sound just fine with your Boss GT-100.

¡ My Mackie FreePlay Experience !
Just found this thread :
I've had my FreePlay about year ( come Oct. ) and out of the box the :
My steel string'd Washburn D46SCE dread didn't need a x-former , it's pre amp has a powerful kick . It has individual XLR/1/4" outs . Sounds good either way into the FreePlay . My Roland GR33 guitar synth really sounds great though it . First time I did a session with it with the synth hooked to it I blew a lot of minds as my acoustic electric guitar w/FX and Roland GR33 synth bass/strings/keys w/FX came out at the same time through it with out a hitch . There were two electric guitars playing and a drummer . l had no problem being heard . Mind you the electric guitars were using small 30/40 watt amps and the drummer has a heavy foot , A few months later I got a T.C.Helicon Voice Live 3 X , I play my electric guitar through it and it sounds really good . I hook a Shure 520D Green Bullet into the VL3X's guitar input and I get that blues/jazz/rock harp sound with FX . I'm thinking on a Mackie 12" subwoofer and maybe a second FreePlay for larger venues with out breaking my back when lifting it when loading and unloading . I'd love a 15" or 18" but my aching back says - - - - you . The Mackie ( and other ones I'm considering ) have a speaker pole support , with the FreePlay's angled amp support stand/speaker pole support mounted on a sub , it would be quite a formidable P.A. capable of more than small venues . I got the angled stand and speaker stand & battery already . As a stand alone acoustic guitar amp it is tops . FeedBack killer is good , FX work on this really good . With the mono 1/4" out it's easy to use in a P.A's front end , and use as your own personal monitor on stage . I have used it with my 60 watt tube amp pumping the guitar only into it and vocals to the FreePlay and the synth to another amp , it's a killer combo for a solo/duet , add a mixer and well you get my drift . Today's technology just keeps on getting better as things shrink in size and deliver bigtime results . Kinda reminds me of - - - - - EZ : HR
