I have a Mustang Fender V2 amp also, and if you want monitoring on the stage instead of the pedal board include the amp and the speaker.
Setting it up though would take some time but it really is not all that hard and with the Fender Fuse program (needs IE on the computer) the amp can be also set up on the computer via the USB cord attached to it. The 100 watt amp has the XLRs out of it, and the other amps I do not know but would have to look at them and all of it to know about them.

Although I usually recommend nothing to anyone because everyone is different, and not a tube amp and not as loud as a tube amp. Probably not as versatile as a pedal board, just like a list and turn to the appropriate number for the song (after it is all set up).
 
Some people say it is great, I say nothing because there is also a pedal (volume or effects) one can buy for it also, and don't you know, everything like this is easy to set up, until a person does it for real, and that takes reading the manual and working with the amp in the first place.
 
Good luck though, because I probably would sit at home and not play with that band.
(has something to do with a medical problem also - low energy, avoiding stress, etc.).

And this is another somewhat dumb post probably!
 
As said though it has XLR outputs (voume can be adjusted) to hook right up to a PA, house system, whatever it would hook up to, and also can record out of the headphones jack with full cabinet (I think if remembering correctly) emulation (neighbors not disturbed).
 
What you decide to do with or without the band though is up to you. I recommend nothing, nothing at all.

 
 And the one place with the jam sessions is like that with miking everything, but that does not mean that they don't play without amps either - they do, and also the drums make noise also.

Without a pre-amp and amp to me the pedal board is nothing, and then again at that place, the price just went up to play there - enough to put up with the place for the night. That may be over $1000, well, whatever the price would be.
 
I'm not hard to get along with, just old, senile, and demented.
For some that is normal in this world.

I've always found that it's much easier to recommend gear for other people to buy with their money than to do so with my own. Some of your band mates may feel the same way.

My band had a casino gig and it's the reason I bought a HD500. To me that is still the best all in one floor modeler out there, but the Zoom's, Digitech and Mustangs are not far off. The modeling is very usable in all of them. I would say the effects in the Digitech and Zoom are better than the HD500, but the modeling and routing options are much better in the HD500. Add a DT amp with the POD and you have a serious rig that will stand up to anything.

so even if you take what you made on the first gig, 
 
and buy that Pod,
 
your still in the HOLE with this new band...
 
btw, they said they dont use amps at the Casino because WHY????
 
is there backline already?
 
using floor monitors for the whole band is a crap shoot, depends on the mix guy and the mix
 
or they using IEMs? you have what, 54 pieces in this band then you need a monitor mixer with at least 4 separate buss outs so everyone can have their own mix, and even then, if someone turns up or down it screws up your custom mix ...
