Rig Advice Needed!!

[guitarmike]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I need some help with my live rig. I play at church every Sunday and once in a while at other events. At 63 I do not want to lug my 1/2 stack around anymore, especially since most of the time I go direct into the pa. I have three options:

1. Synergy syn 2 with BB/BE and BE dlx modules. I like the sounds I get out of this but when going direct it lacks punch.
2. Friedman IR-X with stompboxes in the loop. It sounds good but I can not get any clean sound to cut through live.
3. Headrush Flex Prime, I like the idea of the small lite weight box I'll need to learn how to use it.

I have been using the IR-X for the past 1.5 years, maybe the best solution is to figure out the clean sounds?

Thanks in advance!

4. Leave a halfstack at church.

I use a Syn-2 with a Fryette PS-2A power amp into an Orange 1x12 cab so get the air moving and also get the sound thru the P.A.

I didn't have a ton of success with the Friedman IR pedals. I did like them but didn't completely scratch the itch like I expected.

Probably a pain but what if you used the Friedman IR-X and also a clean pedal and switched between them?

Synergy is awesome but you would need a real power amp to make it worthwhile and then at that point it is a lot of gear, especially if you want to use fx.
I love using Kemper live and my friend had great success with Kemper at his church gig.
Headrush Flex Prime is so cheap and has that new NAM tech? That could be the way to go
