Well, it gets pretty darn loud. Can't say it stays "really clean" though at higher volume with buckers. Just back off the volume knob on the guitar and it does clean up but then you just lose that little edge in there. Unfortunately, I don't play out anymore, so it's tough to say about hanging with a drummer. I'd say at fairly normal band volumes it should hang fine, you just won't get that pristine clean (if you want that). Unless you are using singles, then you'll be much closer. This little bastard can get loud man. Throw a mic in front of this baby and I think you'd have a great small gig amp. Run a few pedals for variation and you're good. Oh, it does take an O/D pedal well, but haven't tried the chorus yet.
