Re: Roland cube 30 vs. Spider 112?
I have the Roland VGA3 which is basically a Cube 30 but with a lot more features and upgrades. I have also extensively played the Spider II. I find that the Roland COSM models react more tube like than the Spider amp models. I also think that the COSM models sound better than the Spider II amp models. However, my Podxt sounds better than my Roland. I'd go with the Roland if I were you.

Re: Roland cube 30 vs. Spider 112?
Thanks - The PODxt Live is on my "long term" purchase list. The independent verb/delay on the Spider is appealing, but I thought the cube was pretty loud for 30 watts. It's atough call $225 for 8 models, all useful, and decent effects (for what they are). I don't need/want the 75 watts of the Spider, but it does have an independent reverb, which I really like. When I go back up to 'gig' volume, I'll go with the Live and a powered amp of some sort. How do the Spiders effects compare to the Cube?
