800$ limit on gigging rig

I was just watching Fender's promo clip for the amp with Freddie Washington. What an amazing piece of gear, and almost embarrassing amount of features. All that for $799? Wow. only 39 pounds weight, as well!

I just checked it on the Fender site and it looks impressive, with all of the bells and whistles and such.

The one down side is that there is more which could go wrong in such a beast.

But its basic specs are also impressive.

Does Fender also offer this critter in a head and cab config ?

Best thing I ever did was to go with a great, used monitor. The one I ended up with has 2 12's and a horn. Sticking in front of you is awesome. You need about 1/4 of the power to get the same perceived volume. Amp behind you?......nah. Your ears are designed to block sound from behind you. A directional cabinet pointing DIRECTLY where your ears are designed to pick up sound the best.....smartest thing you can do by a long shot. I hope you find what tickles you pickle. Cheers.
