The Steel Guitar Forum

Please, can anybody give me full details of the little Amp which Bobby Ingano works with, e.g. Make, output, where I can buy one similar etc.???

Thank you very much.

"Roland Mobile Cube

I have had my Roland Mobile Cube for a couple of weeks now and I am really impressed.
I had asked my good friend Rick Aiello what was available that would do what this Mobile Cube does. He replied that our friends, Bobby Ingano & Derick Mau, two of Hawaii's finest lap steel guitar players are using these now, and he included the Link to Sweetwater as the place to get one. Within the hour I had it ordered. I was not disappointed as it is everything I wanted and then some as I still play small venues, & private parties, etc.. I could not believe the clear tone, the features, and the volume this small package puts out. If I want to play a large venue I will just put a microphone in front of this little amp. through a P.A. It sure saves the back now that I don't have to carry heavy equipment."

Are you talking about the battery powered Mobile Cube?

I have one... I think it sounds better than any other Roland I've tried... given that you're talking about two four-inch speakers. Less knobs and effects means less tone suck, for my money.

It even has a mic stand/tripod adapter on bottom... and runs off six AA's or a 1A Roland adaptor. I've left mine on for weeks at a time. And it has stereo reverb! If you get one, get the adapter too.

Looks like there's a different model, designed for acoustic guitar... and it's on sale for half price! My Weissenborn sounds great through my Mobile Cube, btw.
