    2 watts of course, but they are real watts! Some effects not bad!

    UTILIZATION

    A sound that depends on settings, avoided saturated with effects!

    SOUNDS

    Suitable for all! I play with a Squier Strat, I get to play with a good sound!

    OVERALL OPINION

    This amp is designed to be transported and not to play at home, much less a group!

    Everything has been said.
    Models: acoustic, Roland JC 120, Fender, Vox AC-30, Marshall, Mesa-Boogie.
    A tone knob Seu, but effective.
    headphone and line.

    UTILIZATION

    No need for manual, branch, turn the gain on the overdrive volume.Pour personally I set the tone and the gain to 6 to 5, not plus.Pour fender sound, all thoroughly, but at lower volume otherwise it vibrates.

    SOUNDS

    Used with a Strat classic player.Donc rather clear sound or sounds overdrive.Des varied.
    Beautiful sounds clear, if we push the "Fender", crachouille it, I do not know if it's a crunch missed, or rather a lack of baffle.Bien sure this is a portable drive! In this case no concern.

    Envahissante.Effets enough reverb modulation basiques.Trémolo not very useful.

    OVERALL OPINION

    There must compare it to amps of the same size, and a few years ago we would have liked this palette of sounds! A good amp for practicing at home without disturbing sounds are famille.Certains limites.A compare with concurrents.Pour that price, no complaints!

    Everything is already said about it. Everything is very convenient AUX input to connect a drum machine.

    UTILIZATION

    Configuration very simple no complaints.

    SOUNDS

    So it goes bad. The clean sound is very clean by against the rest is not really at the top. Okay you tell me that it's great for the price, only for the price there are ten times better (VOX AD5). The distortions are terrible especially the model STACK and R-FIER
    is not really better. When I started guitar I was crazy about this amp but have tried the VOX DA5 I can tell you that the Microcube pales.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been about 6 months I use it and I'm tired quickly. I just advise you to take the VOX DA5 is 10 times better with many more opportunities and the same strengths (battery operation and whatnot). If it again I would not take more than this amp.

    - What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)?

    See below

    UTILIZATION

    - The configuration is it simple?

    ULTRA SIMPLE is the branch and ... voila!!
    It was my first amp and I learned to use it in 5 minutes.

    - Gets it easy to sound good?

    I would not say its a good sound but it gets easier and when you start it is a pure toy.

    - The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

    No need for manual!

    SOUNDS

    - Will it fit your style of music?

    It should have any style of music to Jazzeu Metalleu. I play more rock a little aggressive and he fully satisfied at first.

    - With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?

    - With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?

    I played it with a Cort X-11 and its going rather well when I go to my epiphone dot damage the amp is its "breaking" the sound of a can scratch my last I'm not an expert I see just .

    - What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?

    A bit of everything but it quickly makes the turn

    - What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

    R-reliance is horrible to my taste means a rating of two is not understand is that we play ...
    The clean sound is not bad
    Other effects are passable.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?

    I use it for a year and a half he was very pleased with the early and tend to get sick and I had a glitch with that did not help anything (it was a sort of growl even clean)
    The value for money is not bad but with experience I will not choose to repeat.

    The Micro Cube is a COSM amp transistors.
    We find the gain settings, volume, tone, a Knob for effects (chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo) and to adjust the delay / reverb.

    The advertised power is 2w, but he spits really good for 2w!

    Level connections, there is a guitar input, AUX input jack and mini jack formats, and a line out / headphone.

    Note also the presence of a small button that allows a La, La b, The bb (Sol), convenient to agree.

    UTILIZATION

    The configuration is very simple, very clear parameters if only one is accustomed to a minimum amps.
    The manual is in English, but anyway, it does not serve much good given the simplicity of the device.

    With regard to the sound is quite surprising coming from a small boiboite if one is very far from his pro course, but it is enough considering it is a amp trip.

    SOUNDS

    This amp will match many guitarists sounds ranging from clean to very simple emulation of large loadings, not to mention the effects, how versatile.


    OVERALL OPINION

    Had me at a number of travel amp, this one is bigger than I had before, but much better! The sound is very satisfying to play the electric anywhere, since it can run on batteries.
    For 100 € new, it is not stolen, but keep in mind that it's just an extra amp to play everywhere. I bought mine secondhand for half price, which is a good investment.

    What is interesting about this amp is its ability to ring, especially saturated at very low volume so as not to disturb neighbors, for example.

    To summarize, it is a practice amp, relatively portable (a little big but fairly light), medium range, with its rather bland and basic, but for a lot of possibilities.

    This is a tiny solid-state amp that has 2 watts and a 5-inch speaker. It has several amp models and six effects (chorus, flanger, tremolo, phaser, reverb and delay). It also features the tone, volume, and and gain controls. It's got a direct out for headphones or recording. It's got the 1/4" instrument input, as well as two aux inputs (one 1/4" and one mini aux).

    UTILIZATION

    This thing is pretty easy to use, but editing the effects is an absolute nightmare. Hopefully you're not buying an amp for the built-in effects, but if you are, maybe you should avoid this one.

    UTILIZATION

    This thing is pretty easy to use, but editing the effects is an absolute nightmare. Hopefully you're not buying an amp for the built-in effects, but if you are, maybe you should avoid this one. The manual explains how to do everything, but you'll probably have to go back to it multiple times. Basically, you can only control one effect at a time, and just the rate at that. And can only use two at a time. I'd say that switching between amp models is relatively easy, though.

    SOUNDS

    I don't really like the sounds you can get out of this that much. I'd say for practicing, this thing beats most of these tiny amps. Thus, it's hard to really hate on it. It does give you a wide variety of sounds, which is more than most can say for what these amps do. The amps range from acoustic, clean, british combo, classic stack, to a later Fierce stack, and a setting called "mic" (which sounds bad). You're better off with the clean, british combo, and stack options, as everything else sounds fake, terrible, and unsettling. However, the three I mentioned are about as realistic as you can get out of these amps. Since most people would want those sounds anyway, they aren't a bad choice. Just don't use the effects, as they are almost all terrible (except the reverb, which has slightly more control than the rest of the effects). I wouldn't judge this amp so harshly if the advertisement didn't say it would be good for recording. It's absolutely horrible in that context, this is a practice amp through and through.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I liked some of the sounds that this thing offered, but that's about it. I hated most of them, and I was disappointed that it wasn't quite as useful as it was made out to be. I think that for the price, it isn't bad, but you can honestly do better. The only person I'd maybe recommend this to would be kids in college dorms who have no space for a full-size amp. In that context, it's hard to beat. Otherwise, avoid for the most part.
