One of the world’s best-selling guitar amps just got a cool new companion! The Roland Micro-CUBE-W is a white-colored version of the Micro-CUBE guitar amplifier. All of the Micro-CUBE’s famous features are onboard the White edition, including seven COSM amp models, six DSP effects, and a digital tuning fork. The Micro-CUBE-W 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. The eight presets it comes with, including an acoustic simulation and five amplifiers emulations are the following: Expected battery life: Alkaline – approximately 20 hours; Rechargeable Ni-MH – approximately 25 hours when using 2,400mAh capacity batteries

The MICRO CUBE RX’s onboard stereo effects benefit from Roland’s decades of industry-leading R&D. Experience the amazing spatial depth and lush sound of the stereo Chorus and Reverb. Rhythm Guide

It’s Hip to be Square

Roland says COSM is an amalgamation of many different modeling technologies developed by Boss and Roland to recreate a specific guitar amp’s characteristics in terms of circuitry, components and sound pathways. It likens it to CGI in the film world where complex software is used to create near perfect simulations of the real thing. COSM and the Micro Cube GX On each effect setting, there is the option to increase (or decrease) the volume of the effect from subtle to full-on. You definitely don’t need the app if it doesn’t appeal. The Roland Micro Cube is perfectly capable of standing up and making the grade on its own merits, but there’s no doubt that Cube Jam adds a new dimension. You can build your own sound using 30 amps and 40 effects, with access to over 10,000 presets and Positive Grid’s ever-growing Tone Cloud. It is ideal if you are just starting out and want to improve your technique or define your style.

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. And thanks to the focus as a practice amp or small gig amp, there is no need for a stadium-ready volume for good sound. On the contrary:the THR handle compression at low volume really well. 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.

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.
