I have a Fender KXR 200 I use when I don't use my Motion Sound stuff. It is
enormously loud, very clean at super high volumes, has a pretty good sound,
and is pretty easy to haul around. I've used it at massively high volumes
(with a couple guys with really loud guitar amps turned up all the way) with
my Electro 73 or VK7, and it really sounds good.
