Re: What amp do you use for gigs?
Your setup is oh so very close to mine....I Use the Vox AD 2x12 with V30s or my Marshall 4x12 with V30s,Plexitone pedal,wah,TS 808,DS1,and a RAT...
I basically use a very clean,fat,and full sounding BF 2x12 tone with a bit of reverb....I have my foot controller set up to add or subtract chorus and delay and the built in Univibe effects....Very versatile and I get great tone! Used this exact setup last night with my band...I still love this Vox VTH Head..Hard to beat it...It's really the versatility of the setup that I Love,but I get great tone also and with great control over my volume levels and no loss in gain! I use an Ernie Ball volume pedal as my master volume control hooked into the back of my VC-4 F/C...

Same one I use for everything, a Boogie Mark IIb.
Either with a TonlabeSE into the FX return, or pedals in the front with an EQ in the FX loop.
I'm building a closed back Thiel 1X12 for when I need more power, & I've been building a Delux clone for a few years, but I got lazy.

Re: What amp do you use for gigs?
I use my Mesa DC-5 for almost everything. If the gig needs more oomph I bring a second 1x12 cab. I have a pedalboard with most of my pedals on it, though for smaller stuff I might grab a few and throw them in a back pack.
I'm sorta revamping, though. I recently picked up a DSL50 and will probably get a 2x12 and use that for bigger rock gigs. I'm also trying to come up with a way to use the mesa and marshall at the same time. I'd only use this for high profile gigs that come with some road crew...

electric guitar signals go through a fender deluxe 90 (ss 1x12" combo) ... usually mic'd
piezo and guitar synth go through carvin ag-100D (1x12" and a horn tweeter) .. usually DI'd
the midi rig rarely gets turned on these days, let alone gigged

Sounds fine I suppose, but I'm sure not playing very clean, can just barely keep up with the drums.

Re: What amp do you use for gigs?
Bogner Ecstasy 101B head with Bogner large 2-12 cab usually. I still prefer the sound of the 4-12 and use it only if it's appropriate.
The Bogner can literally do anything. I mostly use it's clean channel to sound like a big EL-34 Twin Reverb, the plexi channel to sound like a cranked vintage Marshall, and the red channel for a heavy rhythm tone. I use the Bogner's boosts or the Klon Centaur for leads. If I want extreme saturation, I can turn on the T. Rex Mudhoney, and single notes sustain forever until it cascades into feedback in the same note.
