Due to the fact that I'm a bit of a nobhead - I've owned most of equipment we'vetouched on.

My personal set up at the moment is a fender acoustasonic combo for guitar and a yamaha 300 stage pass PA.

But you really need to go out and see people - see people who do something like what you want to do- ask questions - most guitarist/ singers are very happy to pass on their expertise.

I havent tried it , but the Yamaha looks pretty good to me ! IF I needed to replace one of mine , it would be very tempting !

I have both a 300W mini PA (Yamaha StagePAS 300) and a 100W acoustic guitar amp that takes both guitar and microphone inputs (Ashdown Engineering Acoustic Radiator 1) and can fully recommend either depending on your needs. The AER acoustic amps are also superb but a bit pricey.

Take my word for it, it depends on what guitar, what style you play, and where you're intending playing

I think a small PA system sounds like what you need - Fender Passport or Yamaha Stagepass.

Heavy for me, not so heavy for manly Hardi. Crates oughtta have wheels, is what I think, and a tow strap.

I have a small Crate I like, and Fender has a nice small one. They both weigh about 50 pounds. It seems like a ton, they don't look big enough to be that heavy. For a small gig they're better than hauling a PA.

Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for a high-end all-in-one acoustic amp.
Looking simply at vocal and guitar using external mike for guitar - no direct input.
