Alright guys, sorry to bug you with another one of these threads but this has been bugging me. I'm looking to pick up a better amp that'll be good for small/acoustic gigs and mabye as a practice amp. I've been looking at two specifically an Ampeg BA-115 or a Roland CB-100. Both are 100 watts and in my $350-$450 price range.
I'm planning to use them to perform at my church. Performance is with three acoustic guitars, two trumpets, a violin( that's always drowned out) and occasionally a sax. Do you guys think either of these would give enough sound? Thanks in advance for any help and comments guys.

Yeah, in that environment, definitely it would be enough. But I'll tell you, I might go looking on the used market for an Ampeg B100R instead. I think it's a better amp, and used it's the same price as a BA115, sometimes less. The BA115 sounds a little bit more full on the low end and low mids, and it has a tweeter (it's not a good one, though), but the B100R has more full range and a good upper mid similar to a 60's B-15, plus it has a better amp and no annoying tweeter. You don't get the piercing highs of the BA115, but who wants 'em?
