About this deal

Answer: Yes, such as the likes of Nita Strauss, Rudy Sarzo, Orianthi, Ritchie Kozen, the recent Ren and Sam, and many upcoming artists whose videos busking you can find on Youtube. Question: How Many GX Cube Amps are there? One of the world’s best-selling guitar amps just got a red-hot companion! The Roland Micro-CUBE RED is a special red-colored limited edition of the Micro-CUBE guitar amplifier. All of the Micro-CUBE’s famous features are onboard the Red edition, including seven COSM amp models, six DSP effects, and a digital tuning fork. The Micro-CUBE RED also features a Recording/Headphones output and stereo Aux input for MP3/CD players, etc. Like its predecessor, the new CUBE can be powered on batteries (LR6 (AA) type x 6) or a supplied AC adapter. It also includes a carrying strap. If you see a busker using an wedge-shaped amp, and you hear a great sound, they are most probably either using this amp or the discontinued Crate Limo. The Roland CUBE Street Ex is not as good tonally as a Fishman Loudbox Artist (see below), but for the price and portability you really can’t go wrong. It is light enough to carry comfortably, it’s easy to use and the wedge shape helps with projecting your sound – a sound that is both clean and natural. Small in stature but not in sound, the Micro Cube crams in those legendary Roland cleans alongside, blues crunch, metal distortion and wild FX. Never leave home without great tone. Huge Tone to Go COSM models are available, including an acoustic simulator and a neutral setting for use with a microphone instead of a guitar.

Consider them the ultimate compact amps with high-quality, powerful sound. The cutting-edge speakers used in the MICRO CUBE RX are custom designed and built specially for these amps. Stereo Power Amps Remember you can only use one effect at a time per control knob. So you could have chorus and delay or tremolo and spring reverb, but you can’t have chorus and tremolo for example. You get the picture. I had this amp for five years, and it is the one I have made the most out of. Previously I had a cheap Harley Benton (CG1O X Street) that sounded tinny, and after it suddenly broke, I decided to get this Roland Cube. This is a terribly cheap option and one that many musicians I know have gone with. For under 100€, this is a tiny compact beast. The speaker sounds fantastic, and a tone control knob gives you slight control over frequencies.A 3 way EQ for me is usually a must, but we can overlook it this time. The MICRO CUBE GX features the same ultra-compact footprint, battery-powered operation, and big tone that made the original MICRO CUBE such a massive hit around the globe. With up to 25 hours of playing time using six NiMH AA-size batteries, you can enjoy uninterrupted fun while jamming at home, at the beach, on camping trips, at parties—wherever! Increased power output delivers even better performance than before, and a chromatic tuner is built in, eliminating the need to carry an external tuner when you play. World-Class Amps and EffectsThis doesn’t enable you to save banks of your own sounds but it does allow you to save one! Noodle around and experiment with the Micro Cube GX’s rich palette of sounds and when you find something you like, hit the Memory button for a few seconds. With a fresh set of batteries or rechargeable batteries, mobile use without a power outlet is possible for about 20-25 hours. The Micro Cube is worn on a mini-guitar strap, which clamps to strap pins on the side. The MICRO CUBE RX can run on battery or AC power (AC adaptor included). COSM Amps & Digital Effects

But you can also use this output to plug directly into your audio interface and Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) allowing you to access the Cube GX’s great tones in a recording application. The Roland CUBE Street is designed to be extremely versatile; it is equally at home with a folk singer as it is with a heavy metal musician. It boasts an impressive amount of amp models and effects, meaning that it is possible to perform without the need to carry many pedals with you. Other controls within the app include input gain and bass boost, accessible by hitting the cog button in the top right-hand corner. There’s also a nifty A/B button that lets you select a certain section of a song and repeat it over and over. Handy for mastering difficult guitar parts without having to repeat the whole song from the start. The Cube Jam App – summing up Mini guitar amps are modern marvels. Get over the fact that they’re not going to sound like a Mesa Boogie at full tilt and you’ll be able to truly appreciate just how awesome they are. The pros far outweigh the cons – but just what is target audience? There are no effects on any of the amps in this series, but this is just as well, because very very few amps come equipped with effects worth bragging about. It is always a better option to choose a pedal, or pedals, which complement your musical stylings.

The New Standard in Ultra-Compact Amps

They come in a range of sizes to suit the intended use. The smallest 15w version weighs a mere 5kg. The largest of the range, the 500w, still only weighs 17kg. You might think this extremely low weight would reduce the bass response, but you will be pleasantly surprised, as they sound just as good as an amp 3x the weight. Firstly, they’re designed to sound good at really low volumes – which makes them perfect for bedroom axe wielders practicing late at night; and (2) they’re usually battery powered and portable so you can take them anywhere – the beach; a friend’s house; the park. Have amp, will travel. Combined with high-end effects, the THR5A delivers studio sounds – without a single microphone and wherever you are, with a battery-powered option. Rechargeable Ni-MH battery (AA, HR6) x 6 Current Draw 155 mA Expected battery life under continuous use Alkaline battery: Approximately 20 hours

Added to this is the Extreme model with ultra distortion so that together with the classic British and American amp models as well as a Roland Jazz Chorus model, all musical genres from jazz to metal are covered. The effects are distributed over two pots (Modulation FX + Rev/Dly), offering all the usual, including a new Octaver and Spring Reverb. The Phones/Recording output serves two purposes: Plug in a set of headphones and enjoy private practice with lush, stereo sound, or plug directly into a stereo mixer or recording device for accurate signal transfer directly from the MICRO CUBE RX.

If you manage to take this off without hurting yourself, you can also attach a normal strap and hang the amp around your shoulder and make your mischief in the pedestrian zone. A useful innovation is the memory function, where you can save a sound and use it alternately with manually set sounds. Switching via footswitch is only possible with larger cubes. The next generation of the Micro CUBE, a classic amp, and at the time it came into the marketplace there really wasn’t much competition in the busking amp category. In recent years it has also been improved to compete with other models, but unfortunately falls short. If you have an electric guitar but need an acoustic, this is for you. Produces quite a realistic acoustic tone; bright and rich. Does what it says on the tin really. Three watts + clean + loud are physically mutually exclusive. So even with the Micro Cube GX at the end of the loudness scale, a crystal clear, clean sound is not really possible. At a higher volume, the sound is always minimally gritty and dirty due to the limiting gain, but this interference component is so quiet in relation to the useful signal that it is almost negligible for the joy of playing. Leder du efter lyden fra Rolands JC-120 Chorus eller din britiske yndling combo forstærker? Det vil du finde og meget mere i Micro Cube takket være 7 COSM® forstærker modeller. Rolands COSM teknologi er den eneste modellerings metode, som fanger hver en nuance fra den originale forstærker, fra forforstærkeren til højttaleren. Alt hvad du har brug for, til at opnå den perfekte sound, er en Micro Cube.

The JC clean channel, The Boss pedal crunch, and saturation are some of the most noteworthy effects implemented. Its size and weight make it a very easy amp to take around; the only main con is the materials used on it. I read the blurb on the box until the young guitarist finally relinquished control over the amplifier, after which I gave it a try. Immediately I was impressed by the quality of sound — not like a toy at all — and the case was built in the same way as a large amplifier, using wood and metal, not plastic. Nevertheless, it weighed only a little over seven pounds. It took me all of two minutes to decide I had to have it and I bought it there and then. It was only when I got it home that I realized the power rating was only two watts and not the eight or so I’d expected from the volume it put out. I was also intrigued by the claim that it could run for up to 20 hours on half a dozen AA alkali batteries — though I didn’t believe a word of it at the time.The MICRO CUBE RX’s line input lets you plug in a guitar, bass, or microphone. In addition, the stereo AUX input accepts input from an iPod®, a CD player, or musical instrument so you can blend its signal with your own. Amplifier Section Rated Power Output 2.5 W + 2.5 W Nominal Input Level (1 kHz) INPUT: -10 dBu Features: ¼” Guitar input, ⅛” aux input, four mic simulations (Condenser, Dynamic, Tube and Nylon), digital effects (Compression, Chorus, Delay and Reverb), built-in tuner, USB port, headphone output. In addition, Yamaha supplies an editor software, which works on PC and Mac, that provides three bands of EQ, bass, mid and treble, extensive controls over the reverb/delay, and extra effects (Flanger, Phase, Tremolo and Noise gate) We see many of these acronyms used in the specifications of musical equipment and quite often they’re a combination of technology and marketing hype.
