Great live sound on a budget

I am by no means a techie kind of guy but I have stumbled upon a great setup for doing small - medium size gigs with plenty of volume, no feedback issues, for under $500. Thought others might be interested...

Mic: Shure SM57 (duh)

Preamp (important for volume level and tone in noisy restaurants etc.): ART Tube MP Studio Mic Preamp

Amp: Crate CA30DG Taos Acoustic Amp

And the guitar of course:

This is all very Flamenco guitar friendly stuff and allows me to get a great natural guitar sound with ultimate control over tone and volume. Obviously not for the larger venues but we usually have some kind of PA system for those.
