I would recommend getting a powered mixer , something along these lines :
Mackie PPM1012 12-Channel 1600W Powered Mixer http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/produ...ixer?sku=482832 Then you should get PA speakers (unpowered ones): That part really depends on clubs size you are going to play...For example pair of these should take care of any situation: http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/produ...Pair?sku=600348 Since its a club gig with backings I would recommend using POD Live you have and going straight from it to the mixer...Not using amp at all...Eventually you can get another high quality multiprocessor unit for that purpose ... For mics , its Shure SM58 for vocals. http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/produ...-Mic?sku=270101 These are some recommendation that should enable you to do club gigs with backings...But of course budget is the only limiting factor which defines paticular components options... For example you can buy a cheap powered mixer from Behringer....etc etc.. Hope this helps. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Bogdan said it nicely, you need only PA system for now. I think you don't even need a guitar amp for now, so you should focus on getting a good PA system and use your processors straight into the mixer.
You need: 1. Powered Mixer (with FX processor, and with 6 mic preamps for starters. Later on if you decide you wanna expand the band you can buy another mixer) http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/PMP1000.aspx 2. PA Speakers ( something relatively light and with 15" speakers will do the job nicely) http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/B215.aspx 3. Mics & Stands (shure SM58 and SM57 are standard for gigs) 4. Cables (don't underestimate the price/quality of cables! Buy only HQ Klotz cables for gigs, and always carry some spares) -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I'd also suggest a feedback eliminator like this.
Personally I'd also consider a cable loom rather then lots of loose cables - neater and quicker set up and take down. There are lots of different types you can get this is just an example. For the mixer - carefully consider how many channels and outs you need. From my experience people tend to under-estimate. One thing to keep in mind Sted is that some venues have their own in house PA and mixer. I'd also consider going along to a pro PA company and talking to the guys there - they're usually very helpful and friendly. Only time it's annoying is whilst setting up/taking down and then people start talking at you/getting in the way. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Thanks guys, this is really helpful! I didnt realise that i could run my guitar straight into the mixer and use that as the amp so thats a big reduction in stuff i need to think about. I am assuming that it would be advisable to run a small monitor speaker as well?? EDIT: Would either of these mixers have a capability for input from an MP3 device for the backing tracks?? sorry to be a pain, i really just dont know about these things Yeah, every mixer has tape in/aux in and similar inputs so you can input an mp3 device or CD player and mix it in with the rest of the sound sources.... -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Some monitoring speakers would be good as well, just make sure the power amp has enough outs for all the speakers you need.
