All user reviews of 5/5 for the Roland Micro Cube

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.

UTILIZATION

Super simple to use. A treat, as it comes out of great sounds

SOUNDS

Sons limited, but the panel offered is relatively good. Impressive power for only two small watts, the HP should really be of great quality, the amplifier stage also

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.

See Roland

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.

See other reviews.

If not for the features that are super helpful to me:

- 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.

Transistor-Amp / models of 2W, guitar or microphone input, headphone, mp3 input.
-6 Amp models and six DSP effects.
20h-autonomy of the batteries.

UTILIZATION

Amp very easy to use so the manual is useless.
We easily get a good sound very quickly with very simple settings.

SOUNDS

Suitable for all types of music hard to clean, he can do anything!
The six built-in effects are excellent despite the fact that they are not adjustable in finesse.
I love the clean jc simulation that models the famous JC-120 of marque.L
Ring all the other simulations as well!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for six months, I have not tried other models before buying.
I really like the simulations that are very realistic, my favorite being r-jc clean and proud, and built-in effects that sound very good.
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.

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 .....

there is nothing negative to say about this amp.

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.

Little amp transistors using the technology of COSM Roland / Boss (modlisations amp and effects).
2 watts of power.
input jack, but also "record out" to connect the amp eg a table, plus a headphone jack.
slecteur an amp simulation, gain, volume, one tone knob that replaces the traditional qualo 3 bands.
Intgr a tuning fork, the giving, or a BMOL the ground to choose from.
A section effects (chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo.
A section delay / reverb.

The amp is powered by a 9 volt adapter or 6 AA batteries: architectural practice to carry around everywhere for a boeuffer Sax or trumpet for example!

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!

For the price not say is almost perfect

UTILIZATION

Simple and bright even for a 3-button guitar

SOUNDS

Trs sounds good, true that some machines full of DSP who want
believe the true light that heats ...
The cube does not shame the price (given the technological implementation) of these red machines.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months to work without using my EL84 and 6L6 heaters or me
to slay by the neighbors.
The price is present compared to the benefits and it's cute all right ...

A caratcristique forget: battery operated with a lifetime impressive given the light weight of the bte, gave a similar freedom is all that we have with an acoustic guitar ...

Bte when the same has a default (but considering the price he can be swordfish): the level of the input is a little high which is just saturating the sounds of the same clear: always a little down the volume on the guitar: it's a shame.

UTILIZATION

The power that is small enough that a lot of application style street music, animation school, small bars ... evening between friends ... etc..

And with the ct nomad, have you ever ride your bike to RV with the guitar on his back and the amp on the luggage rack for your next solo work in the depths of a fort?

Another possibility: use the direct output from console or a keyboard. Plutt is your exact fit. I plan to buy one deuxime mix and a small stack of fawn have a mini sound system Stereo portable and battery, all transportable in a small gym bag and even when sufficient for a maximum of situation!

SOUNDS

RVer should not, but even when surprises!

OVERALL OPINION

Many possibilities for a small price ... try without fail.

Amp "journey" Transistor

Power 2W (but not ridiculous thing), also runs on batteries with a long life

1 guitar input, an output to (headphones or sound system), two mono input 6.35 + 3.25.

Modeling, reverb, chorus, tremolo, .......

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, it does not worth to write a novel.

Nothing is easier to get a good sound, the settings are effective.

The manual is useless because it is really a breeze to use this amp

SOUNDS

My style of music is varied, blues, rock, hard rock, jazz ......

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.

We will not s'tendre is a small amp with DSP effects study COSM home boss.
This possibility of playing branch (PSU included) or battery.

UTILIZATION

I was looking for a small amp to play trankil on my couch at night without waking up my girlfriend, and without having to plug in my pedals, headphone ...
It's perfect for me, the effects and power are the hair for mobile use-study.

SOUNDS

Ben the rest I am amazed at the quality of the small bte, it sounds good, even though trs, trs effects are correct and modlisations, we will not complain especially that the prices and the usefulness of the machine.

OVERALL OPINION

Very happy with my business, pay 119 euros is what I needed, report quality price without piti!
