    Glad you asked!

    Right now I'm pushing 2 Peavey PV115s and 2 Peavey PV118s through my Behringer PMP 1280s powered mixer. Monitors are Peavey PV112Ms driven by my antique Peavey M2800 amp.

    The Behringer is in the process of being replaced by a couple Peavey IPR1600s and the Peavey PV14 board.

    By next summer, I hope to have my "outdoor gig" PA assembled.. the addition of two more 115s, two more 118s and two more IPRs.

    Maybe. I'm not 100% sold on the IPRs... the damping factor is kind of suckish on them.
    Electrics: '07 Gibson Les Paul Classic Antique, Oscar Schmidt OE40N Hollowbody aka. "Fat Girl"
    Acoustic: Ibanez AEL20E-TRS
    Bass: Ibanez GIO GSR200
    Amplification: Marshall TSL JCM 2000 head & 1960a cab, Fender Hotrod Deluxe Silverface, Ibanez Soundwave SWX65
    Effects: Boss Chorus, Bad Monkey, BSIABII, Rabid Rodent, Crybaby GCB-95, Rocktron Talk Box

    It's hard to beat Peavey equipment for the working man. It is easy to get parts for,and usually you can get it to sound good and do the job well as well as being dependable.
    I've heard alot of good things about those new Peavey boards,and yes the IPR's still need to prove themselves. But 7 pounds for an amp!
    I'm looking at getting a Presonus Studio live for my next BIG PA purchase.
    Should be able to dump a few pieces of rack stuff with that board.

    We currently run:

    Peavey PV14 mixer
    Samson 2200 amp to Warfdale Pro 115's
    Behringer 2500 amp to Warfdale Pro 118 subs
    Some cheap 100W amp from ebay for monitors - (mix and matched Warfdale and Yorkville 115's)
    Behringer DEQ2456 EQ/Comp/Limiter etc.
    Behringer FBQ1502 EQ (to tweak the front end a bit, plus utilize the sub out/crossover)

    Everything is run mono for simplicity sake. Not the most expensive gear on the market, but it's been working very well for us.

    3 channels for Vox, Drums (electronic), Bass, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

    We were running PV215's up front but kept blowing horn drivers We tried the Warfdale 115's and 118 subs and find them to be a big improvement sound-wise.

    This system is pretty flexible... we've done a bar gig with only the 115's on sticks, no instrument amps - everything direct to the PA and a couple of monitors and it sounded great (and less gear to haul). If we do anything of considerable size we'll rent some more gear to augment, or just hire a sound tech with PA (cost added to our asking price of course).
    Electrics: Hagstrom Ultra Swede (Gold Eagle Burst) Gretsch 5120 Electromatic (Orange) Custom Nashville Blackout Telecaster (Black, Stat mid/neck p'ups; Lil Puncher (Modern Vintage) bridge p'up; Wilkinson Compensated Bridge w/ 3 brass saddles, Warmoth Vintage Modern Birdseye Maple Neck) Fender MIM Stratocaster (Blue Agave, Rosewood Fretboard, Fender Tex-Mex p'ups; GFS Trem/Block Kit) Highland Spitfire (semi-hollow, flame maple top w/ bubinga inlay)
    Acoustics:Washburn D10CEQSB, Yamaha FG160E
    Bass: Westone Spectrum ST, Warwick Rockbass Corvette Basic Active
    Amps: Vox NT15H/V112NT Night Train, Peavey Bandit 112, Hartke HyDrive 210C Bass Amp, Vox DA5
