Roland Microcube Guitar Amp
The Roland Microcube is probably the most portable amp in the world. Its dimensions are (H,W,D) 22cm, 24cm, 16cm & it only weighs 3.3 kg! The Microcube will run on batteries or via a 9v power suppy, so this is ideal for buskers or for people who travel & want to take their guitar amp with them. Despite its tiny size, the Roland Microcube actually sounds pretty good. The amp has some built in Boss FX, so you can get everything from cool jazz tones to blistering rock distortion. Although the manual says this is anly a 2 watt amp, we think it sounds much louder than that. In fact we've seen dozens of buskers using these around the town & they seem to be making a perfectly good noise!

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 Models
Looking for the sound of Roland's JC-120 Jazz Chorus or your favourite 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 modelling 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 BOSS Effects
There'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 More
Tuning 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!
