Michlef « A true Swiss-army knife...It's awesome! »
Published on 09/03/13 at 08:58Very light amp but beefy in terms of performance.
They say it's 2x15 W, but I don't buy it! Exceptional performance
STEREO! ! It must be noted because it's indispensable for the Leslie effect.
Mix of 4 inputs,
1X mic (XLR/Jack) input, the sm58 sounds wonderful, an acoustic guitar, too
and thanks to the effects, the harmonica is great.
2X stereo Line inputs (Jack), so 4 inputs.
1X iPod, CD input (Mini-Jack stereo, RCA). I tried it out with a drum machine and it's good!
1x stereo output (Jack) allows you to link two (which is what I do)... a true "Swiss army knife."
Effects: very nice Reverb, and a Chorus that is OK, Headphone out.
30W output power on mains, 20W on batteries (8x1.5V). Have a try, you won't believe it.
USE
First of all is the sound!
It's really worth it to dive into the (comprehensive) manual, you'll discover its infinite possibilities.
It can be tilted, like the big ones. I have two behind me and people are always looking for the speakers everywhere.
...A nice feeling! (I've known people who have sold their crappy Chinese amps!)
Roland is truly pro. It's a pity that, between 30w and 350 w (just as good), they haven't come up with something... lighter!
OVERALL OPINION
I use two with a Hammond SK1 (killer Leslie!) + wireless acoustic Gibson in the line input + wireless mic in the other input + Harmonica mic on the XLR input + a Roland drum machine in the AUX.
And I still have inputs left (for a harp, Dobro ...)
Both are connected in stereo. More than enough for a club. Onstage, I use them as monitors (they can be tilted) and the console amplifies everything coming out of the output of the second amp. Its great, I can control my levels personally and don't depend on anyone else.
I bought one in 2012 and immediately realized the pros of using it in stereo, so I bought another one secondhand. When I switched to the Hammond 2 keyboards pedalboard, I added a subwoofer. Would I buy it again? Without hesitation, because I've had some very bad experiences before. Roland is Roland.
EVERYTHING sounds great, but the cherry on the cake is the digital organ in "pipe" version...
It's mind-blowing.
In my opinion, it's worth its price, I wish there was something intermediate, between the 30W and 350W versions. But hey, together with a console, you can spare the movers
