I used to have a small band a few years ago and I had bought a Fender Passport 250 sound system.
Very nice as you can bag it and go. It is pretty powerful for just yourself though. ~$500used.
Quality of sound: Ok...not exceptional...
Digital Effects I use the Korg Pandora. It is a multieffects box ..great price $100...quality of sound..medium I would think but you can try any kind of effect combination that you like.
I have also used the Digital Delay which was really great!
Mic: Here I have a "kapsa" or "psira" in lack of a better term. It is handmade from Greece. Not very happy with the sound but it does the job.
For natural sound I recommend Shure 58.
For wireless sound I have found a great solution:
Check out the Line 6 equipment. Amazing sound! I will prepare a review for each of the things I mentioned above!

I have heard only good things for that amp. But then again all those amps are optimized for guitars.
I want to dive in a bit deeper on what the different kinds of amps do.
You see a guitar has a hard sound where a clarinet has a much warmer. So based on that observation I will look first into bass amps..
They are probably optimized for lower frequencies.
The mic that you where using and the positioning is also very important.
