In when I started performing solo, some 40 + years ago lugged around a 12 channel Mackie mixer and a pair of Mackie 450 powered speakers, but about 15 years ago I sold that, and got a good front end with a 2 channel combo mic pre, EQ, and limiter, A good stereo reverb processor, all in a rolling rack and a Fishman 220 SoloAmp and never looked back
