Just my 10 watt Yamaha one is easily drowned out by the loudness of the drums Thank you. -Winter.

I have that amp, and past a certain volume, the tone just disintegrates. If you really want one of the Line6 SpiderIIs, look at the 75watt. It's far more versatile, and will be able to go louder without sacrificing the tone.

How loud is the 30 watt spider? Does the 75 watt have a noise gate and how good do you think it would be?

Newbie Posts: 10 Group: Members Member #93 Joined: November 5, 2006	Seeing as the 30watt does, I'd assume the 75 does, too. I looked briefly on the Line6 website, and found nothing about the built-in noise gate, but I'd still assume the 75watt has it.

You run them at their breaking point to sound good Seriously, though, go with something you can attach a 4X12 cabinet to at some point in time.
