    Microscopic mini amp modeling 2 watts, I would jamaiscru the modeled sounds are so well made - 6 different sounds, from acoustic to the high gain some useful effects of happiness.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used it for over a year as amp study. A again, I repeat the pattern above. Super purchase, we find more cheap OCCAZ. I was amazed by the THR X 10 at Yamaha? that in the same style sends to super heavy metal, and outputs a much nicer sound.

    What impresses even more with this cube is the ability to play amplified with only 6 LR06 batteries for fifteen hours (tested and approved), even at high volume.

    I have not seen this on any other equivalent feat amp.

    See others who have done it very well ...

    UTILIZATION

    Although this tiny little thing is a concentrated position, she manages to stay more easy to use, no need manual.
    Guitar plugged in, select the type of sound, you can add the sound effect, you can connect an mp3 or behind the laptop with backing tracks that you have carefully selected, to see a microphone.
    It plugs into mains via a transformer, with 6 or R6 (20 hours autonomy seems you there).
    In short, it is simple, comprehensive, very convenient.

    SOUNDS

    The sounds are well done, with a little reverb it feels like an amp with a much greater range. Same volume mounted above, it may be necessary in a small room.

    For distorted sounds, then we must recognize that all tube amp rack> € 2000 is much better. To be a teacher, we will summarize to "there is a saturated medium and a little more than average." Do not expect sound or Rammstein Bay Area ...

    on the other hand, very little noise.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This little amp is very good to start a career as a guitarist electric, perfect for a bedroom, it will be an excellent companion for beef one night with friends.

    For more seasoned guitarists, it is a great travel companion, in addition to a much more advanced configuration everyday. It is smaller than a pack of detergent, you can hop in and hide in the trunk going on tour, "oh Bonux gift!" you say to your dear and loving in discovering under his very eyes ...

    It is very well his job for which it was designed = play in his room without waking the neighbors, and not be bothered traveling.

    An integrated tuning giving the the flat and the soil

    Power of 2 Watts nickel to practice or play in an apartment without disturbing the neighborhood

    UTILIZATION

    The configuration could not be more simple, easily obtained a good sound. Depending on the guitar tone must be set differently (usually between 10 and 14 h for me) and I also changed the tone according to the modeled amp to get the sound you want, it is very easy. The manual is clear and sufficient.

    SOUNDS

    It is suitable for any type of music to practice at home. the sound is quite coarse saturation I find I rarely exceed the brit combo that once pushed the gain saturates enough for hard rock. With a strat and a guitar with P90 in the Marshall Mesa Boogie and the passing medium so do not put too much gain. P90 on the neck pickup on a lot of bass guitar mahogany so you must manage to avoid ringing tone from the small speaker. The sound lacks a bit of finesse to play but it is low volume.

    I do not like the acoustic sound and the two most saturated tones (Classic Stack Proud and R), the rest is nickel for size and price, especially for home use that I have.

    Edit I tamed both saturated and sound is excellent!

    OVERALL OPINION

    It was my first amp ... in 2006. I had sold to buy something else, since I've had tube amps but good quality for the apartment that quickly became unmanageable. I had the opportunity to recover a recently rediscovered I more an amp for beginners, it is a good tool to train at home. The sound is quite satisfactory for that.

    Between two I tried a Fender Mustang, a real gas plant, full of presets, full of effects, too complicated ... USB connectivity and software ergonomics are essential because without direct the computer is bad enough for my taste, so not too much interest for someone who just wants to lead and not spend 20 minutes to find her. The micro cube has less dynamic sound, we feel the progress of the Mustang, but it is so much easier to use than I prefer. And this is my first amp, it's sentimental :)

    2 Watts amplifier transistor modeling.

    No manual needed. It's very simple to use.
    Originally, I was looking for an amp "nomadic" to play anywhere with its relatively good and this amp does wonders. (It changes little amps that attaches to the belt and delivers a really lame because of their ridiculous size).

    UTILIZATION

    Simple configuration, plug, turn the pots and roll youth.
    No manual needed. It's very simple to use.
    Originally, I was looking for an amp "nomadic" to play anywhere with its relatively good and this amp does wonders. (It changes little amps that attaches to the belt and delivers a really lame because of their ridiculous size).

    The effect setting is very imprecise, to do it "by ear" and not try to tweak.
    In addition, you can not use the first four knob effects (chorus, flanger, phaser, and tremolo) simultaneously. Same for the second knob (delay / reverb).
    But regardless, it was not what I asked.

    SOUNDS

    Here we come to the highlight of this amp.
    As I said, unlike all the amps "nomads", this amp is on top of the podium (admittedly, size plays a lot).

    The amp models are convincing (also pretty amazing), they are organized in a way that more is intelligent (the clearest sound [JC-120] in his most aggressive [mesa Rectifier]).

    As amp / study room, this is perfect, especially when you do not want to heat lamps for a short time (or lazy).

    The battery life is very good (more or less 18/20 hours of gameplay on batteries).

    So I use mainly for work / find plans. My favorite channel for clean sounds corresponding to the second amp (Fender Twin Reverb simulation) to gain half a quarter volume (it is more than enough!), Half-tone or 3/4, no effect except a flick of reverb.
    For use in saturated mainly Marshall and Mesa, with the same settings as for clean sounds.
    I almost never touch the settings (except to change the reverb in delay), it is just to have a pleasant sound rather than playing the strings to work (although it happens to me too ...)

    The only weak point of this beast is its small HP 5 ", which had a volume control (or with a guitar tuned lower than standard), drooling and saturates in the bass.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been a few years since I have and I do not regret this purchase.
    This is an extra amp (or travel) very pleasant to use.

    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!

    UTILIZATION

    Very accessible, we choose the amp, effects, turn the tone and gain, and that's it! For what is good sound ... This amp still has a bowl 5 "and is a portable travel / practice, so it is clearly not nirvana, but hey, the simulation can be randomly generated convincing front for modern metal (the gain is more than enough for big Death very hairy ...), the JC-120 nice for jazz, acoustic for arpeggios, to the classic heavy.

    SOUNDS

    It works for all, without excel anywhere of course. Perfect for learning, but be careful you will not be happy if we want a real nice sound! The distos are accurate, although somewhat garish fast (huge headroom to pass, especially on the simulation of Recto). Cleans quite dull, no crystal here, riding the highs tend to be sharp instead of open.
    ODs are disgusting in my opinion, anyway I never use this stuff. Generally I use the JC-120 for my plans jazz, acoustic for arpeggios, classic simulation (JCM 800?) For the heavy 70-80 s, and R-Fier (Mesa Rectifier) ​​for more aggressive stuff.
    Short enough to work.
    (Played with a Cort Aero 11 mounted in EMG 81X and 60X-scratching mahogany and maple neck-table)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use 1 hour per week of scratching my school for 1 year and a half. I usually play on a Peavey Vypyr 15W, already had in his hands a Peavey XXX, Vox VT40, a Vox Lil'Nighttrain a Tiny Terror, a Blackheart elements in comparison. I do not like the size of HP (which are baaaaaaasseeuuh?), The OD, however the simulation of JC's nice. Quality / price ratio excellent, again to use it as it is intended.
    PS: it looks indestructible.

    UTILIZATION

    Adapter or battery that does not work need manual simply turn the knobs

    SOUNDS

    Emulated the sounds are realistic we almost get what you want.
    The effects are basic but there it takes.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have this combo for almost 7 or 8 years since its release.
    If I had this thing in the 60s I would not have pissed the neighbors and sometimes beyond 50 watts with my stack or there was no master at this time.
    At the price it is sold or it is a perfect tool for home by his side very versatile. In addition there is no risk of becoming deaf by its ranges.

    - Output "Line Out" which cuts the HP recovery on sound or wideband amplifier.
    - The weight micro, micro size: I go with the amp in hand and my guitar in the back.
    - 20 hours of battery life with the 6 cell 1.5v. I tested it like 20 hours really is impressive. Perfect for street performance, I sometimes beef with gypsy jazz guitarists when they are sound, it is nickel.

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple configuration, there is no easier way elsewhere. The manual, I did not open, I do not even know what head he.

    To get a good sound, there is nothing to do, if not select a type of simulation and turn up the gain and volume effects and convenience.

    SOUNDS

    So for her it covers all the needs of beginners. If I had it 20 years ago ... In short, everything has been said about its versatility.

    After a little more to get in the thick of it, the sound is indeed the amp a little cold (but the size of HP is probably for something). Dynamics is also a little packed, but frankly feel of the game nuances soufrent do not get is astonishing! One beef with 2 friends on position "Brit Combo", and we get to spend a good clean to crunch with the volume of guitars!
    Effects are funny: I personally find very phaser Hendrix (I love), coupled to a delay can make rhythmic psychedelic Dub awesome. After the reverb is a bit too-much like a Fender amp, why not.

    A note on my model a problem HP: if it vibrates on the low E string (with any scratches) ... Roland returned from Europe in Holland, income and they found nothing. After my store salesman told me that sometimes the dismantling of HP with a rotation of 90 ° or 180 ° is sufficient to solve this kind of problem. Of course it still vibrates, but nothing alarming.
    During gigs with two friends who also have a microcube, it does not have this kind of problem, it is a priori super rare.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Where I want to emphasize, and this is why I post an opinion, it is his side Swiss Army knife in use but also in sound.

    Side use battery power like well advertised 20h (tested), to play in a garden, in nature or in the street (one-plugged training (!?)) Is perfect.

    His side, I used several times on average scenes (200 people), but ... taken using the "line out" that cuts the HP and then taken by a DI box, and sound engineer sound réinjectais me in return. Whenever everyone is blown away by the sound I get out of the well and mix gently (Simulation of Fender Twin or JC 120, used with a good Telecaster and my pedal-board upstream).
    In gigs with friends and rehearsal room, I still use the exit "line out" is to attack my wideband amplifier (50w keyboard amp Novanex 50 francs bought 15 years ago) or the sound present in the room. Each time it is mud. on the other hand I tried recording studio, it blows a little not possible (damage), it is better to put a microphone in front.


    In short, a perfect amp for playing at home or with friends at a low volume (great for work plans several), and a small Swiss Army knife for rehearsals / live (by taking "Line Out"). Tone color simulations we like it or not like it, I personally have had simus POD, Digitech, Vox, frankly it's COSM Roland Cube I prefer (but can be cold in a super efficient mix group).

    Coupled with the Micro Cube amp in my broadband I do break more back with my old tube amps (Marshall JCM 900 and Laney LC 50 that I sell elsewhere). Perhaps for the sake of convenience I will buy bigger if the need arises: is certainly the Roland Cube80XL or perhaps the Fender Mustang III.

    And use appropriate for beginners who want to get a satisfying sound settings without too much

    SOUNDS

    Playing styles ranging from blues to metal, this amp with 6 imitation amp is perfect for beginners wanting to play all styles of music.
    The lack of acoustic amp "tone" when played at low power but is very realistic
    The Fender amp and Roland have a great clear sound, but you have pushed the volume has more than half to see the Fender cruncher which is annoying when you play in a domestic space.
    The Vox pitcher with very quickly and allows the gain to get back into serious micro beautiful low
    The Marshall high volume provides a good overdrive sound perfect for the Hard Rock
    MESA has the same very small (quarter of the race) gives off overdrive which I personally found me on the impressionnés.Idéal for his legendary Slash particular or regained his legendary group of hair that remind us that one day we will die!

    The effects for me are a little too chemical and not enough "versatile". Indeed it is very difficult to adjust for example the delay to find the sound of U2 and ended up with phaser sound of Pink Floyd Breathe in

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this amp for 4 years now with a Strat and a Les Paul Hagstrom kinds. This is my first amp and I will renew this purchase without problem!
    Despite the effects a chemical can too and settings not developed enough, the beginner will be more than happy to play everything (anything) through 6 amp imitations. Ideal for playing in his room, but not powerful enough to use one stage (as the car! XD)
    For less than 120 euros you can afford quality Roland, an amp that fits in the trunk of an Austin Mini (which is an achievement believe me!) Also you can take it and played around with diet battery that can hold 20 hours of after the manual (I never tried)

    I do not like the tune, because I prefer Digital Tunes with a chromatic tuner and I'm not used to this type of tuning.
    Admission to in is very handy for plugging in an mp3 and play along backing tracks his favorites!
    The 2W announced are very powerful! There is enough power to invite the neighbors at home!
    The price / quality ratio is excellent. So many possibilities for a reasonable price.
    With experience, I would do this choice undoubtedly.

    Roland Micro Cube Combo Amp

    Roland Micro CubePublished on 11/28/11 at 15:00
    Roland struck a gold mine back in the 80s with their JC120 Jazz Chorus amp. To this day it arguably is one of the nicest clean tones available, so why would I expect anything less from the Micro Cube?

    I wanted a small amp to keep around the house for when I wanted to jam ideas at a low volume. The Micro Cube was perfect and at $130 it was perfect for my budget at well.

    It can run on batteries or on the supplied power supply. If you choose batteries it takes 6 AA batteries.

    There is an 1/8' input to plug in an mp3 player or CD player. There is an output that can be used as a headphone jack or an out to a recording device.

    There is an 1/8' input to plug in an mp3 player or CD player. There is an output that can be used as a headphone jack or an out to a recording device.

    There are 7 digital amp modeling presets; Acoustic, JC Clean, Black Panel, Brit Combo, Stack; Classic and Rectifier and a Mic preset in case you want to put a mic through this amp.

    The amp has 6 effects, which I find a little over the top, but here they are: Chorus, Flanger, Tremelo, Phaser, Delay and Reverb.

    The built in tuning fork is sort of week. A chromatic tuner would have been much more effective in my opinion.

    The EQ is just one lonesome Tone knob, a 3-band EQ would have been cooler, but hey it's a cheap amp I get it.

    Well built. It comes with a handy strap. Most of these are black, but I snagged a less popular white finish, there is also pink.

    The LED light is pretty small too, it is a bit hard to tell if the amp is on or off.

    A fun little rocker to keep around the house. Sure it isn't perfect, but if your big rig is packed away it is nice to have this to practice on.

    i bought my last practice amp about twenty years ago and so decided it was about time for a change .

    i pur chased this unit for a mere 69 quid from a local music store .

    when buying anything i always do my homework on it and check out reviews etc . and this little amp was no exception . and let me say that after reading many positive feedbacks on thie cube to get it home and try it myself was an absolute treat. the sound quality for something so small is really quite amazing and the effects , well there not just there for show they take this little buty to the next level . just buy one .....

    build quality ..a fairly light amp [its small] fairly robust unit, metal front grill , well constructed knobs and sockets ..overall very good.

    i would be very suprised if thier was a better practice amp out there for this kind of money offering what this guy does .sweet..

    Bought new off of Ebay.
    Paid $98 after shipping. Good Deal!

    I am truly amazed at the clean sound that comes out of this little amp. Even on batteries it has a nice LOAD clean sound. It features a nice array of amps and clean sounding sound effects. And even more amazing is how loud this little amp can get. It can more than deliver what most people playing will need away from the home. I use this amp to help sell folk instruments I make at shows. And 99% of the time, the customer is trying to buy the amp from me. I wish I could get them for under a 100 all the time, and then I would start selling them. ;c)

    After 6 months of owning this amp, about the only thing I don't like is not having a Stereo output. Most amps nowadays, that offer the many different sound effects this amp has, also have the capability of stereo output. Also since it has the ability of plugging in a CD player to play along with, I just am a little surprised that there wasn’t the choice there. I also have gotten use to plugging in extra speakers on my other amps that do have the stereo outputs.

    I have been doing shows all over the State of Alaska. Roads up here are horrible with chuckholes, that are as deep as a foot, and impossible to avoid outside of causing an accident. I must admit that I have abused this amp, and it has never shown any problems with getting thrown around, bumped or even rained on.

    I can guarantee that in an amp, only having 2 watts as this one has. Dollar for Dollar, anyone needing a small practice amp that can be heard by a group of people standing around outside, would be more than happy with this little rocket. It has such a clean sound and a very nice array of sound effects that you will not find in any other amp of the same size.

    i bought this online from musicians friend for $125.00. i was looking for something portable and this was recommneded to me by a friend.

    absolutely everything was great about this amp! i couldnt believe all of the effects and the sound that this little gem put out. i would definitely recommend it to anyone.

    to be honest, there wasnt anything that i didnt like about this unit. it met or exceeded all of my expectations.

    roland generally has a good name concerning its products. i havent had it very long, but it seems solid despite its light weight.

    if you need an amp that has built in effects, is portable and sounds great, this is the one for you.

    I bought mine through sweetwater.com for $129.00. I already own 2 Cube amps, the Cube Bass, and the Cube 30 for guitar. I love them both. That is why I bought the MicroCube as soon as I heard about them. I wanted a high quality portable battery powered amp.

    I love the sound this amp gives. Considering it runs off of 6 AA batts, and puts out 2 watts through a 5 inch speaker, it really sounds awesome for a portable amp. It has built in amp simulations that are really good quality, and built in effects. (chorus, reverb, delay, vibrato, and flange) It also came with an AC adapter if you have a plug handy, and has strap buttons so you could carry it around with a guitar strap if you wanted to.…

Reverb makes a really big difference in a portable amp.

    Only one thing I can think of that I don't much like about this, and that is the delay effect. I think the other effects are much better than the delay effect.

    Very well constructed. Looks just like the other Cube amps by Roland only smaller.

    This is a great choice if you want an amp you can take with you anywhere. (even the woods) The tone blows most of the other battery amps out of the water. Plus since it has different amp sims, you aren't stuck with just one sound. All the amp sims are good and very usable, from clean to rectifier.

    Models: acoustic, Roland JC 120, Fender, Vox AC-30, Marshall, Mesa-Boogie.

    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.

    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!

I highly recommend this amp for beginners looking for a cheap amp with such crap because you do not enjoy the capacity of your guitar! As I said above I recommend it if you travel a lot as a receiver of transportation. But I kept this amp amp 6 months Fixed. I can tell you that at the end I wanted to throw out the window!

    OVERALL OPINION

    Amp very convenient for the next transport. But I recommend to all beginners electric guitar in this price you can have the much better and you will benefit most from your guitar. By 10 -20 euros + can already find very good quality amps fender mustang I like that I find brilliant and it costs only 105 euros (sorry for the pub).

    UTILIZATION

    The number of lev rglages enough but you get used to quickly find a particular type of sound! I did not personally used the manual.
    Some rglages sound better than others, it is as much a question of that gots to express!

    Another very practical: its small size trs trs and its low weight allows me to carry in a backpack to work anywhere ^ ^

    SOUNDS

    The clown sound of this amp are impressive screw screw size, and price. It is a real guitar amp business, not a toy, with real bass which confrent a cot enjoyable.
    Of course, distortions and crunches do not shine by their ism, but clearly are trs beautiful. Agrment a chorus and a delay lightweight, one approaches the legendary JC120 Brand.
    As long as they gre proper tone of the knob, the crunch and remain usable distos: dj I could do a concert in a bar with, included in a table (context of semi-acoustic duo, with a folk guitar also reprise) rendered silent and enjoyable.
    I plug a Start or a Gibson V, I tend prfrer with the single microphone, but it's also a matter of taste ^ ^

    OVERALL OPINION

    Those who use this amp as main amp is a mistake, not his vocation, although it may dpanner. This is a fabulous tool to work anywhere, or to compete with the acoustic or suprmatie winds in impromptu cattle. More than 20 hours announcements, and for once a manufacturer keeps its promises! I use it for a few months and I can not get enough.
    His report quality price is absolutely bttn. And I think that's the kind of hardware that can keep, as it is cheap and convenient.
    I would do, of course, that choice, and advises that wants an amp affordable, convenient and transportable across to do the same!

    -The effects let you enter FM rock type sound that I like least personnelllement except trmolo modlisation with twin and vox.

    Choruses and twin-Jazz: Trs beautiful crystal cruncher without, however.

    The twin-MODELLING do not unfortunately, and crunch makes contact with the HP gain with a background ..
    With a tube-screamer is really gnial: Sound very low price and low power for the job without pissing anyone.
    -115 Euros is given to six ready-made sounds workable, clear lens of the raspy fuzz.
    -This amp allows me to isolate myself and all my work without dmenager monster to play in the living room on discs or on the street (runs on batteries.).

    I play on TV, and strat Variax.

    I get all the sounds I want, being realistic is not a Mesa !!!!, THIS IS an amp to work and travel, but it keeps its standards in terms of sounds, Hards sounds are excellent crunch sounds too small flat on clean sounds because it saturates slightly at low and attacks (it should lower the volume of the guitar to have a better), do not use too many effects because it distorts the rest.

    The models are no problem!!
    Given the versatility of this amp it would have even had to provide a pedal to change the sounds, but I ask a lot.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have 3 months.

    I plug an MP3 player on taking in and here I am with my laptop sound to work when I travel, and more with the headset I am bother anyone, it's really awesome !!!!!

    Rated value for money can not fault it is correct even below other small amps that fail to the sole of this one.

    In today's market if you want, small, battery powered, with a large palette of sounds, a complete connection, do not look any better in there, I even believe that the equivalent does not exist.
