Product Description

MicroCube Guitar AmplifierRock for 20 Hours on BatteriesThe 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 ModelsLooking for the sound of Roland's JC-120 Jazz Chorus(TM) 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 EffectsThere'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 MoreTuning 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!

Plain and simple WOW!!!
This amp is really good for people who are just starting out and need a decent, affordable and quality amplifier.
It is small, light in weight, can fit your luggage easily when travelling( which I do a lot of), but above all,
IT CAN PERFORM!!!!

You can adjust it to your liking, choosing from variety of options;
No matter what style you want to play, chances are, that after you got to know your MicroCube better,
you will be able to set it up just the way you want.
It works on batteries as well!!(batteries not included)
Of course, it comes with a power cord and a carry strap.

I would recommend it to anyone that needs a small practice amp.

There are several types of practice amps. High end modlers (Line 6, G Dec, Vox VT) that can still run $400+ and are typically overloaded with features. The low end tubes (Fender Blues Junior, Bug V22, Peavey Valveking, etc). These typically are more stripped down (in features, not neccessarily quality). And then there are the micros. I always thought they were just a notch above toys, the sort of amps found in a prepackaged guitar set up from Wally World at Christmas.

Boy was I wrong...

I needed a portable amp for my son to take to and from practice after school. It was important to me that he could schlepp his own gear. He's not a big kid, so even 15lb. amps are pushing it(plus a gig bag and school back pack). That was initially what brought me to the Micro. Not sound or features, just the smallest possible amp for my little virtuoso. Turns out this is an AMAZING amp. The tone destroys the Line 6 and the features crush the Vox Pathfinder (6watt?) or Bug V12. And the Fender frontman - not even in the ballpark.

Each of the models are distinct. The cleans are sparkly (more trebly) and the high gain models are very articulate. Obviously this isn't a loud amp, but that's not all bad. You can get everything this amp has to offer at reasonable volumes. It also can be battery powered (the life is suprisingly long), includes a regular wall plug, headphone jack, built in tuning fork (which is kind of lame) and a series of onboard effects that can be run simultaneously. For example, I was able to crank up the delay and tremelo and pull off some Dick Dale surpher licks with suprising accuracy.

Don't let the size fool you. I honestly thought it was nothing more than a toy and I couldn't have been more wrong. There are several big websites and it's tough to find any negatives about this amp. Quality sounding and durable for a great price.

Oh - and the red - if you can find it - looks pretty sweet too.
