IMO, if you're on a budget, play rock, and don't need a big rig for small venues...

How about a GK 1001RB-II and a GK Neo 212?

I use a 2001RB with a GK Neo 212, and I love it! It's loud enough that I've never had to turn my master volume past 11:00 to drown out the drums and guitar while practicing. I could easily get by with the smaller 1001RB-II if I had to, without any fears of being unheard in the mix.

I haven't given it the gig test yet, but I doubt it'd be a problem. Honestly, the 2001RB would normally be overkill for me, were it not for the fact that I love the overdrive channel :D
