This is kinda sad as a pedal freak but this is my new rig. Blackstar Amped 2 is just stupid good. Not a huge fan of the effects but nobody in the audience/congregation is going to ever notice the difference. Compressor (either SheepyLove Squishy or pictured here the Trash Compactor) and a Line6 wireless. No speakers on stage...XLR out. Speakers...plug in and either 1w/20/100w. Record out via stereo outs or USB. I hate myself for lovin' you...

And of course I reserve the right to revisit this at any time but the Blackstar will be the nucleus. Did I mention an effects loop? Pre or post.

Nice. Two yrs ago I had $500 bonus dollars from Sweetwater and I bought a Helix floor. Although I miss some of the pedals I used for church the Helix has spoiled me with how easy it is to use. And you're right, church audiences don't seem to notice. :)
Nice... those Blackstar Apmed's look great!
I have recently just gone direct to PA with an Iridium in our pub-band. (Funnily enough, still rocking a pedalboard and tube amp at church!)
The MS-3 allows for some effect loops, but I ended up removing my overdrives as the Iridium sounds great and has MIDI presets. Wouldn't mind putting a Laureate on this board tho!
