I played a new Line 6 Spider 3 yesterday. That thing sounded really good. Over 400 presets and several artists favorite presets. Nice sounding amp.
This is where it's all about what sound you like. A lot of people like tube amps, and ONLY tube amps. Some people (not many) like only solid state amps, and then within SS amps are also digital. Each has their own spot, and as long as you like it, then it works.
As far as the 75w amp sound like the 30w at bedroom levels, it won't (most likely) be identical, but it should be close.
Yea, I'm a tube amp guy but I don't have one at the moment. I kick myself every day for selling my Marshall 50 watt several years ago.
The Spider III was really impressive for a solid state amp. As technology advances, I believe you won't be able to tell the difference between a tube amp and a solid state one but right now there is a noticable difference. For instance, I played on the new Mesa Boogie Stiletto Ace (http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/stiletto/ACE/stilettoACE.htm) and that is THE best sounding amp I have ever played on. The one I played on was a 50 2x12 combo and it made the hair on my arms stand on end. But of course it has a wicked price of $1869. It should make the hair on your arms stand on end! I also played on a B-52 2x12 100watt combo which was a very nice sounding all tube amp. Price was $749 but Harmony Central has a lot of user posts with reliability issues.
I'm in the market for a 50watt all tube combo but just haven't found what I'm looking for yet.
I played one of the 30watts, and then a 75watt, and i didnt notice much difference in the way of tone. Of course, if you crank up the 30watt, itll break up, but overall, i quite liked the amps. If i were you, i would save up a little more for a spider 3 though.
