I use Sansamp RBI though my Ampeg B150 to play. I just upgraded with a Mesa Boogie powerhouse 6x10 cab. I'm now looking for the right Power Amp. What would be the best type of Power Amp to combine this gear together?
 
Crown DriveCore 2 XLS 1002. $300. 1000W bridged into 4 Ohms. 8.6 lbs. .775V sensitivity option. It's the smallest in that line, but if all you want to do is drive that one cab till it sweats...
 
The Quilter BB800 would be something to look into if you wanted to go very compact. It's got some extremely simple (but surprisingly powerful) EQ that can work well in conjunction with a preamp or be bypassed and just use the power section.

I like the Crest Prolite 3.0 (without the DSP). The 2.0 is nice, too. Prices have gone up this year about $60, but they are still a good deal, kick like a mule, and weight under 14 lbs.

I also recommend a Gator 3RU rack bag.
