Yikes, you have a 30 minute slot and your set list is 29 min 12 sec. Does that mean you only have 45 seconds to set up? Or is the setup time not included in the 30 minute slot? It's too bad you can't play fully out of the 900 but even if you have a few extra minutes you'd have to try and dial in your sound in front of the crowd. Then again, there might be a lot of that going on with other bands that day so no big deal. You could probably get in the ballpark quickly using the suggested settings, and just dial in more gain on the amp and roll back your guitar's volume a little. That way you'll have more gain on tap right at the guitar.

If you only have a minute of setup time though, POD in the loop of the 900 or direct to PA would be the best way to go. Hopefully the equipment is properly maintained and there are no problems with the loop and/or jacks.
