Had an issue once w/ feedback because I was stuck in a corner for the gig. Other than that, no problem.
I did have a hellish time w/ a Behringer mixer. I replaced that w/ a Mackie.

Here's my live setup: As you can see, the guitar - usually a Taylor ns24e or a Tom Anderson Crowdster - goes straight into Korg Pitchblack tuner pedal. It's been a very reliable tuner for me, having been on the floor for at least 1 gig a week for the past two years. Zero problem to report. Then it goes into a TC Helicon Harmony G pedal, which provides vocal harmonies that analyze the chords played on the guitar to provide more accurate harmonies. From the TCHG it goes straight into the instrument "in" on the PA, a Bose L1 Compact. The microphone - a cheapie from Shure in my case - goes into a Behringer EuroLive 205D personal monitor that is mounted on its own mic stand, facing me. While I could plug the guitar into it as well, I do not. I use it solely to hear my dry vocals. From there it goes into the TCHG so that I can add harmonies on the fly. From the TCHG it goes straight into the Bose L1 Compact PA via the mic "in". It's been a reliable set up for me. The only new addition is the 205D and so far, so good. not pictured here are the mic stand and the iPad that I have mounted on it w/ the OnSong app to act as a prompter for whichever one of the 600+ songs in the repertoire I may be singing at the moment!

That's great, buddy! More power to you... as for a jam in person, heck yeah. That'd be awesome.

... just aired here in Maine. A little background. I have a friend called Pete Dubuc who is a wonderful songwriter. His band, www.GuntherBrown.com, is a band for which I once served as lead guitar player, mostly because I love Pete's tunes. Pete was slated to go back to the studio to record a new album with his band, but his mother passed away unexpectedly. He wrote a song for her, then went to the studio and recorded the album under his name instead. When asked to play on TV for a local show, he agreed and asked me to come play electric guitar on the tracks in question. I agreed to do it because 1. I trust Pete, 2. I love his songs and 3. it was a bucket list item - to play on TV - that I hadn't achieved yet. I was quite intimidated by the process, so I figured I should bring gear that would make me feel confident. I selected a Thorn Jr 90 and a Swart AST amp. No effect. I figured that if I couldn't get a good tone from that combo, I didn't deserve to play the guitar in the first place! Long story short, my goal was to let the songs breathe and not overplay. Also, this was Pete's day - not mine. I didn't want to take over the songs or detract from their inherent beauty by smearing guitar licks all over them. The show just aired - I hadn't seen any footage since we shot it - and I am so moved that my buddy asked me to come play with him. Especially considering the circumstances and how special those songs are to him, following his mother's death. I'm very emotional right now, but also really honored and happy to have played with Pete on these tunes. I could have played better, I could have... I don't care. The moment was real, organic, heart-felt and, to me at least, beautiful. I will be forever grateful that my buddy gave me this opportunity to not only be on TV with him, but more importantly to share this experience and these songs with him. You gotta love the power of music. As an aside, all proceeds from the sale of the record and the CD release party are going straight to fight cancer. He's not making a penny from either.
