I can't decide between these three:

Line 6 Spider III 30W 1x12 Celestion speaker:

Behringer 2 30W 10inch Jensen speakers :

Raven 60W 12inch speaker:

All I need is good sound, nice effects (if possible), and enough power for small gigs. Thanks for anyone's input smile

...I have the earlier model LINE6 Spider II 1x12" and it's definitely OK for practice and small gigs...and it has acceptable digital effects (reverb, tremolo, echo, etc.).

...mine wasn't "trouble-free" because it suddenly "stopped" after about 6-months of normal use, but after repair (under warrantee), has been working fine since then.

...the German-import, Behringer is well-known for two things: (1) exceptionally LOW price and (2) un-repairable 'guts' (the internal circuit boards)...and they seem to have more problems than most other solidstate amps.

...and the DEVIL said: "...yes, but it's a DRY heat!"

Thanks for the info. I heard bad things about Behringer, and Raven doesn't seem so great. The Spider looks like a good deal.

Its a solid state, but its still great. Its got awesome reverb, tasty gain, and an overall stunning sound.
