What’s a good amp to gig with?
I’m in a Rhythm + Blues band, and eventually we’re going to be playing gigs. Now, I currently use a 15 watt Line 6 Spider III amplifier (You know, the ones with all of the effects and such), and I want to know, is this small practice amp going to be loud enough for a gig? Also, I have a spending limit of $125. I’d love to buy a Crate half stack, but that’d cost me $300. Any advice, I’d love to get something nice…and LOUD!
The half stack I’m looking at:

I had a frontman for my first amp. That was possibly the worst one I’ve ever used, the tone was bad, Distortion was weak, and it was quiet.
