My Cube-20 'gets a sound out' on E9th but is way too distorted for C6th.

Has anyone else had positive experiences with the larger Roland Cube amps?

One of our bass player's on our worship/praise band is a Roland rep and suggested trying the CUBE for a smaller venue amp. Haven't done it yet, but sure wish I had my orange Roland Cube back that I had in the 70's. Great little amp!

I bought one about a month ago and I just love this little amp. Can't imagine just how Roland made that Big sound come out of that little 4" speaker. Of course it isn't for big rooms and large venues but for getting my Lap Steel up with my acoustic partners- perfect. As far as the 6-AA bateries lasting 20 hrs, it's true. It has a lot of 'modeled' soundings that are conducive to Lap Steel. As the reverb feature is the only effect I use I can't address the several others. A perfect practice amp that doesn't need to be plugged in.

For the money- usually $125, this amp can't be beat. I just saw one of the Music Stores in my area had them for sale at $95!

I believe that you guys are talking about the MICRO cube. It has several amp models plus effects.

I tried one out and it sounds pretty good by itself for what it is. The salesman then took the line out into a bigger amp and it really perked up.

Yes, it is the MICROCUBE. It makes my old Peavey Combo get up and sing. I wish plugging in the line out didn't cut out the speaker so I could use it as a monitor.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Donald Ruetenik on 25 May 2004 at 05:18 PM.]</p></FONT>
