It’s Hip to be Square
Rock for 20 Hours on Batteries
The Micro Cube is the first Cube amplifier that runs on battery or AC power. Using six “AA” alkaline batteries, you can play for up to 20 hours—thanks to the Micro Cube’s high-efficiency amplifier. A carrying strap is also included, allowing you to be heard just about anywhere you want. And the sound? It’s a Cube, so you know it sounds great!
7 Classic and Modern Amp Models
Looking for the sound of Roland’s JC-120 Jazz Chorus™ or your favorite British combo amp? You’ll find those and more in the Micro Cube, thanks to seven COSM amp models. Roland’s COSM technology is the only modeling method that captures every nuance of the original amps—from the preamp and circuits to the speaker. All you need is the Micro Cube for perfect tone.
High-Quality Effects
There’s no need to lug around pedals when the Micro Cube comes with six DSP effects. All the essentials are included—from chorus and flanging to a phaser and tremolo effect. A separate Delay/Reverb processor lets you dial in anything from slapback and long delays to reverb and more (in addition to using one of the aforementioned modulation effects).
New Digital Tuning Fork and More
Tuning up is a snap using the new Digital Tuning Fork. Just press the Tuning Fork button (the harder you hit it the louder the sound) and you get an instant reference tone with support for flat tunings up to two semitones. The Micro Cube also comes with a choice of 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch stereo Auxiliary inputs—great for connecting a CD player or line-level instrument—plus a Recording/Headphones output. Take a Cube anywhere you go!

QUALITY:
This is a very well made and reliable product from which I expect to get years of use.
FEATURES:
The portability and option for battery power coupled with good sound--albeit a little tricky to obtain some of the sounds I wanted from it.
EASE OF USE:
I play mostly acoustic guitars with Martin's Gold Plus, under the saddle piezo pickups although a have a Strat and a Tele that I use occasionaly with this amp. I try to achieve a wide range of sounds which demands a lot of knob twiddlin'.
VALUE:
This amp is well worth the approximately $130 that I paid for it about 3 months ago. I have seen products with more volume that were somewhat larger and only about $50 pricier; but they lacked the portability and had no battery backup option.
SOUND:
With the proper tweaking I get good sound form this tiny amp's 5" speaker. But it is strictly for practice or very, very small venues. Actually with a small pr | |

| I was amazed with the tone and volume of this little pack of power. It opens up so much sound with so little to deal with. I really like it for a practice amp. I plug the CD into it and jam. | |

| OVERALL:
this is a great amp to practice with. Has a battery compartment so you can take it outside or to a friends house and hit some tunes on. The sounds are great on it, maybe not that of a thousand dollar amp with a chain of boss effects, but for under $150, you have a portable amp with effects.
QUALITY:
It seems to be made well. Roland has always made good, quality products.
FEATURES:
It has all the features I was looking for in a practice amp, especially the effects. You don't have to carry around a load of pedals.
EASE OF USE:
It's extremely easy to use. just turn on the amp, turn the knobs to whatever sound you want and play.
VALUE:
It's a great value for all the features that it has.
SOUND:
great sound for a practice amp. Just loud enough so you won't disturb the neighbors. The effects, amp simulator and distortion sounds great. It may not sound like a $100 boss pedal or a | |

QUALITY:
This amp is great, the plastic around it is very durable. Mine has fallen and been dropped a lot and it still looks brand new.
FEATURES:
With all of the different effects it has on it you can make pretty much any sound you want to, the only thing i don't like is that you use two different switches for six effects so you can only be using two effects at a time but pedals can fix that and it's just a practice amp anyway.
EASE OF USE:
plug it in and switch on any effects you want, and your good to go.
VALUE:
This amp is easily worth the $125
SOUND:
Oh my god, 1x5 speaker and it can get LOUD, just like it says on the description you would be very surprised at how loud this thing can get and it still sounds great. | |

EASE OF USE:

SOUND:
Sound was the sell for me. You'd never guess it has a 5" speaker and only 2w. The blackface and reverb just drips surf !!

Blues and classic rock

This was recommended by a friend who teaches guitar and uses it with his students. It sounds amazing. I would never have considered looking at it had I not heard it. Great sounding little amp. |
