=================================

I ordered my H.C. with an XLR out. My reasoning for the decision was that, 
if you walk up to a stage where the mixing board isn't right there (this is 
common at many clubs, at festival-type gigs, etc., where it'll instead be 
out in the audience), then I could always unplug one of the ubiquitous vocal 
mics and plug that line into my H.C. Plus, where there's a mixing board, 9 
times out of 10 there will be XLR line for you to use. If you don't want to 
leave it to chance, then tote an XLR mic cord along in your gig bag. And if 
it all falls down and you find yourself without an XLR cord, you can run the 
1/4" 'instrument line out' to a mixing board instead of an amp and it still 
works nicely (as I found out at a jam session at a small biker bar in 
Florida).
In unrelated H.C. news, I had the chance during a rehearsal a few weeks back 
to run mine into a guitar player's Fender Pro Junior. Mercy! The amp was 
much louder before feedback and had much juicier tone.
