I play in a three piece band and since developing major back problems I have since Stopped lugging around my Ashdown rig. now I use a modeling pedal and have a world of different tones at my disposal. I was curious as to if any else does this and has any cons, other than it doesnt look as cool as a monster 8-10 cab standing on stage. I also have a smaller Mag 350t 410 cab but its not a whole lot lighter and can see using a pedal fron here on out. I know tone is largely a personal preference but the models available to me sound nearly identical to their miked real deal counterparts thru the mains, any difference is to the positive.

I can remember when the Line6 pods first came out, my guitar player and I used them exclusively for a few months. We had a good monitor system and I had no problem with it.

Have you checked out some of the light weight heads/cabs that many TB'rs are using? Here's a link that might help you out: Micro-rigs of doom
Hope your back is feeling better! I was in physical therapy, acupuncture/massage, chiropractic treatment for 17 months to fix my lower back a few years ago. Good luck.

Btw, which modeling pedal are you using? Did you try others before settling on that one?
