All user reviews for the Roland Micro Cube

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.

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!

Very small transistor amp.
2 Watts of power.
It weighs only 3 kg
It has 7 main Sons.

UTILIZATION

This is a very simple amp to use and very easy to carry. I recommend it to all those who frequently travel partner. This avoids damaging the amp fixed. What I appreciate is that it also works with looted it can also be very practical. There are all necessary effects so no problem on that side.

SOUNDS

The sound clear but his pass nickel against the distortion is a disaster! The sound is too saturated, it means just playing. It is simply dégeulasse. 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).

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 ...

Amplification transistor.6 MODELS-amp + Voice, modeling, perform the COSM.
-10 Watts
-1 Between guitar and headphones.
-Modlisations: Acoustic / Jazz Chorus / Twin Reverb / VOX / Marshall / Mesa / Micros voice.
-Effect Modulation: Chorus / Flanger / Phaser / Trmolo
-Reverb & Delay (separate and could be combined with the effects of modulation.
-Tuner.
-CONTRL: Tone (aigu-basse.), Gain, Volume gnrale.

UTILIZATION

Trs-intuitive.
In two seconds, you get the sound of the modlisation the tone rglage gnrale gives color, then you can put reverb effects and / or delay.
-If one does not affect the rverb but just the rev's its roots, including excellent overdrive marshall type 'Vox and Mesa.
-The clean sounds are very soft twin type, on the other hand can not make them cruncher (except with a tube screamer.dans this position, the gain is excs "hound" the little speaker 5 ", so go There it easy.
-The effects let you enter FM rock type sound that I like least personnelllement except trmolo modlisation with twin and vox.

SOUNDS

-Fits all styles, except possibly be the NUmetal, although the type MODELLING Rectifier sounds rough and tough.
Ma stratocastre goes well with this amp work.
Choruses and twin-Jazz: Trs beautiful crystal cruncher without, however.
-Vox: Depending on the gain, trs beautiful sound meduim soft ultra clear up to the saturation. trs stones style rock dynamics.
Marshall: Well runny and soft, less dynamic than the gain vox.Meilleur rsultats bottom.
-Mesa saturation of fuzz.On Hrissi rapper feels that a small fire dchire the HP.

OVERALL OPINION

-Use for 6 months: No problem with amp work and travel.
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.).
The essence of the mini-amp is here.
-Would like to have an opinion on the 60-watt Roland modlisation.

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!

Small amp work or travel a transistor
2W (the most powerful I have ever seen)
guitar input or microphone, aux, mono output
6 amp models, acoustic to metal, chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, delay, reverb

amp for travel, work or a first amp (I do) if you are looking for something that is full Nickel

UTILIZATION

Super easy to use, I had never touched an amp before, I found a good sound 30sec
you can do anything you want, but it lacks perhaps a 3-band equalization

SOUNDS

It should have my classes and my taste more metal ...
I play a washburn wi65 and a Yamaha Pacifica 112
as my colleagues earlier opinions, I find that the clean sounds OPNT tends to saturate a bit and be a little agtessifs with powerful pickups, you must then turn down the volume of the microphones.
I love all the sounds of guitar cetten with a favorite for its proposed liverpool so British

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a year since I switched to electric and it suits me perfectly, except that I plan to start a band and that I will then have something more powerful, but do not ride with a stack and it does not work on batteries (and with such autonomy, what advantage!)
Very good value for q / p, I probably do it again this choice with experience.

_ Amp transistors
_ 2 W power
_ Jack main between two auxiliary for guitar (c ca ^ ^ kool, for against the two guitar playing tt time in clean, damage) output jack.
_ COSM amp modlisations

UTILIZATION

One branch, and we play it RULES, c tt con to use the manual is nothing (of head fawn while it is in English) tt the sound is good now, just rgl and c prt 2 seconds!

SOUNDS

This amp suits me totally, I play punk (guerilla garbage, beets), but also hard (AC / DC, Iron Maiden) tt like more classic rock (Led Zeppelin), I played with a stratocaster squier bullet (pa really good) I'll have to buy me one more powerful to play with my band (100 W min), the tt is not the powerful asser ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months and I can not get enough, I had not tried other amp before this one, the price quality ratio is simply gnial for that price am not fo Siter (surtt for the 2 W DGIG it more), with the exprience I would do this choice.

2 Watts !!!.... ok, but ca mean anything in some cases ca 15 Watts worth it and its always nikel! Incredibly, I was afraid it would be really two Watts light but believe me these are the watts powerful enough to bring along the brush stroke by the upstairs neighbor!!
Connections: the sound via headphones is .... not good saturation, lack of simulation HP.
rglages effects: Is there really a choice, super clean in the big sound!
I will put in 9 because of his headphone that dcevant saturation, but otherwise, I would have been 11.

UTILIZATION

Configuration: Trs simple ...
Sound: Have galre find the most rotten as the rest .... it's too easy to believe in the presence of DIFFERENT amp worth a fortune.
Manual: a manual y'avait?? ha good ?!!!... not need.

SOUNDS

Can have any play with this amp, any work, the lai use with a strategy and a nickel .... Vigier, even with a lag lctro-acoustic sublime!
All types of sounds available ... there's nothing prfrance not throw!

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 week to find secondhand IDAL will go to teach or work home, very good price quality ratio, I advice to both beginners and professionals, I remake that choice without hsiter.
even if I did not try other amps of the same types.
going to go for it!

2 watts transistor amplifier (10 watts equivalent at least) several effects like tremolo, chorus, flanger, phaser ... for connectivity was "in the" "input" "rec out" I am using as the input!
I notice that a default is the tuner for the "la" which I find really bad but I m ​​never use it.
I put 9 / 10 because of the tuner.

UTILIZATION

It is easy to configure and very fast! I have the branch, I have been playing around with j and after 15 minutes had a sound that appealed to me!!
The manual is in English but honestly there is not any need!
Thanks to the battery can play around and making piles of quality j've played for over a month (1:30 to 2 hours a day!)

SOUNDS

I play varied stuff (pink floyd, led zeppelin, zz top, clapton, santana, satriani, u2 ...) and you can have a clear or very clear very saturated net also! On vacation, playing outside I I put in the 3 / 4 volume and 300 meters away you could hear what I play!!
You can really have fun with and very simply.
I play most often on the "Brit Combo" and c is its really very friendly!

OVERALL OPINION

I then used the more than a year and what I love most with c is that it is versatile and easily transportable (like on vacation)! J loves the tuner too but that n is a detail.
No I did not try to model in fact I wanted a portable amp and the other were available for marshall with just one channel and adjustment simple and not very powerful!
For a while it was 150 euros in stores and even for that price worth ca!
I would do the same choice if I had and also my father has made the acquisition too!

See more advice.

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, the manual is anglais.On trs quickly gets the sounds you want.

SOUNDS

Amp polyvalent.Le sound quality and surprising for an amp also petit.J 've jou even with a drummer who does not hit like a nag. 2 The W sound like a plutt 15 W. It can also serve as a sound from his microphone and withstands the effects extrieurs.Les sounds range from crystal saturations modern type-Mesa Boogie.Les modlisations convaincantes.Je are not always found the sound clear ( Jazz chorus) more Russian than the other which makes sense ... About the effects spciaux Intgr honntes they did everything.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using the annes.Il is very practical for small and fort.C is primarily a receiver of work and travel well conu.Les batteries last about 20 hours! Before I tried other amps travel with small Marshall: How awful!
The quality-price ratio bien.Je do not regret my choice given the services rendered
you can play with him and enter the beef anywhere, on the beach, in the woods, down the street with a sound convincing!
