If not for the features that are super helpful to me:
- Output "Line Out" which cuts the HP recovery on sound or wideband amplifier.
- The weight micro, micro size: I go with the amp in hand and my guitar in the back.
- 20 hours of battery life with the 6 cell 1.5v. I tested it like 20 hours really is impressive. Perfect for street performance, I sometimes beef with gypsy jazz guitarists when they are sound, it is nickel.
UTILIZATION
Very simple configuration, there is no easier way elsewhere. The manual, I did not open, I do not even know what head he.
To get a good sound, there is nothing to do, if not select a type of simulation and turn up the gain and volume effects and convenience.
SOUNDS
So for her it covers all the needs of beginners. If I had it 20 years ago ... In short, everything has been said about its versatility.
After a little more to get in the thick of it, the sound is indeed the amp a little cold (but the size of HP is probably for something). Dynamics is also a little packed, but frankly feel of the game nuances soufrent do not get is astonishing! One beef with 2 friends on position "Brit Combo", and we get to spend a good clean to crunch with the volume of guitars!
Effects are funny: I personally find very phaser Hendrix (I love), coupled to a delay can make rhythmic psychedelic Dub awesome. After the reverb is a bit too-much like a Fender amp, why not.
A note on my model a problem HP: if it vibrates on the low E string (with any scratches) ... Roland returned from Europe in Holland, income and they found nothing. After my store salesman told me that sometimes the dismantling of HP with a rotation of 90 ° or 180 ° is sufficient to solve this kind of problem. Of course it still vibrates, but nothing alarming.
During gigs with two friends who also have a microcube, it does not have this kind of problem, it is a priori super rare.
OVERALL OPINION
Where I want to emphasize, and this is why I post an opinion, it is his side Swiss Army knife in use but also in sound.
Side use battery power like well advertised 20h (tested), to play in a garden, in nature or in the street (one-plugged training (!?)) Is perfect.
His side, I used several times on average scenes (200 people), but ... taken using the "line out" that cuts the HP and then taken by a DI box, and sound engineer sound réinjectais me in return. Whenever everyone is blown away by the sound I get out of the well and mix gently (Simulation of Fender Twin or JC 120, used with a good Telecaster and my pedal-board upstream).
In gigs with friends and rehearsal room, I still use the exit "line out" is to attack my wideband amplifier (50w keyboard amp Novanex 50 francs bought 15 years ago) or the sound present in the room. Each time it is mud. on the other hand I tried recording studio, it blows a little not possible (damage), it is better to put a microphone in front.
In short, a perfect amp for playing at home or with friends at a low volume (great for work plans several), and a small Swiss Army knife for rehearsals / live (by taking "Line Out"). Tone color simulations we like it or not like it, I personally have had simus POD, Digitech, Vox, frankly it's COSM Roland Cube I prefer (but can be cold in a super efficient mix group).
Coupled with the Micro Cube amp in my broadband I do break more back with my old tube amps (Marshall JCM 900 and Laney LC 50 that I sell elsewhere). Perhaps for the sake of convenience I will buy bigger if the need arises: is certainly the Roland Cube80XL or perhaps the Fender Mustang III.
