  • This the the amp I need for right now. Flexible design so it will be a while before I out grow it.

    I was looking at reviews on YouTube for the Roland AC-33 when I came across the review for this one. While I might one day still buy an AC-33 (an amp designed for acoustic guitar), this one looks better for my purposes right now. (I have both electric and acoustic guitars.) I play on the street and I didn't want a cheap battery powered amp. (Particularly, I wanted one without all the hogwash, if you know what I mean.) THis unit is pro all the way and more than fills the bill. I don't have a car and this one is small and portable enough that I can carry it along with my guitar pretty easily in a Taxi cab (or walking down the street). But it's also got the power to play a small venue. It uses 8 standard AA batteries in a removable battery module. (... And I've already ordered 2 extra battery modules, a bunch of Ni-MH Rechargeable batteries and a charger.) The battery power does seem to last a long time in Normal mode. (It also has Max and Eco modes.) It comes with a 110 VAC power supply (at least for the U.S. model). It is setup so it can be connected with another Cube EX and configured as a small stereo PA (adding more input channels to boot). One channel is clearly intended for a microphone and a 2nd channel is clearly intended for a guitar, but both of the main channels are set up to take either/or with hybrid jacks that can accommodate either a 1/4" plug and an XLR. The other 2 channels are more basic with only a volume knob for each of those. One is specifically set up to accept a sub-miniature plug so you can plug in your cell phone or an mp3 player to play backing tracks. (And it includes a connecting cable for that.) It's designed to work with Boss FS-6 or FS-5U foot switches if you want to add that capability. And Roland has equipped it with a mounting adapter to use in conjunction with their ST-A95 monitor stand. This is perfect for me right now, but I do plan to get a second one in the not-to-distant future. Need I say more?

  • 3 stars with the stock speakers, 5 with Jensen Mod 8-20 replacements

    I really don't like the stock speakers, but this amp becomes pretty awesome with a pair of Jensen Mod 8-20 speakers. They're about $30 each. The stock speakers are a bit too bright and lacking in low frequencies. The Jensens fix this quite nicely. I use it with a Boss VE-8 for my guitar and vocal and that leaves the two other channels free for a second guitar and vocal, which is exactly what I needed.

  • Pricy, but worth it.

    Sounds great but not much sustain. The independent channels sound, well, independent. I bought an extra battery cartridge, which I preload, to make switching out batteries more convenient and much quicker. The thing paid for itself in about three weekends of busking, or about twenty-four hours in total.

  • I love it.

    This is a very versatile amplifier that you can move it around easily due to light weight, I enjoy the features it offers, easy to learn to use it, and the sound is grate plus it looks like its going to last forever.

  • Awesome!

    I am a guitar player and singer, I have a really nice Soldano amp, and a full Mackie PA system....but that is a bear to just pick up and "play" or practice somewhere, hence, all of that equipment usually stays at the practice space. I was looking for something small that encompassed everything needed to just "jam", alone, or with friends. I was a bit suspicious about the sound quality, but my brother swore by it. And man, I'm blown away at not just the great sound, but also the power you can get out of this thing! Also, I haven't used the guitar "amp" sounds much at all, but I can say that the reverb (both channels, mic and guitar) is plenty rich enough to play anywhere with. And I also really like the far 'clean' guitar setting for my acoustic--everything sounds very clean and loud, and that is without an acoustic pre-amp (which I usually use for live shows going into a soundboard or my guitar amp).

  • Roland CUBE Street 5-W

    A great little amp for both vocals and instrument inputs - it's like having two amplifiers in one, both letting you perform in small venues either on 120v power or battery. The vocal channel has inputs for microphone of another instrument using high or low impedance connections. On it, you can set reverb or tremolo to best fit your room or vocal style. There is no phantom power, so that is a little drawback to a single microphone setup such as in a bluegrass group. However, a Sure 58 does fine for such an arrangement. The instrument channel is really cool. It allows you to change from straight acoustic to stereo chorus, reverb, tremolo or simulated sounds with one easy click. I think it can also be done using an optional foot switch, which I have not yet tried. For a venue like a coffee house, small church or house concert this thing is terrific and doesn't break your back hauling it around. I've installed high quality rechargeable batteries and am not certain it recharges them when plugged into 120v power, but will soon find out. A terrific amp for the money. I'm already impressed!

  • pretty loud and sounds good.

    it's loud enough to be useful to amplify your guitar and voice when there's no ac power available. though only 5 watts, it makes use of compression, which keeps the guitar (or voice) signal at a maximum level as the string vibration (or any input signal) wanes, giving lots of volume (hooking up a compressor like this is a trick, incidentally, which i find can help me get a significantly more volume out of any amp). has all the sound features of roland's current guitar amps. i got mine for about $200. good value at that price. i may want to try the 50 watt version.

  • Love this portable amplifier.

    I like the effects features, power, and looks of this amp. Also very portable, lightweight, and mountable on a speaker stand. Very nice - - :-)

  • Not cheap, but worth it.

    This is rather unusual as busker amps go. I plugged my EHX Glove into it and plugged in my Taylor TC5 and got tones that matched up well with my old Aria PE R-60 and my Egnator Tweaker 40. Pretty impressive for a battery powered Busker amp. The Acoustic tones exhibit superior clarity and penetrating qualities Our kids who live upstairs in our duplex actually commented on how they could hear the tone clearly through the floor (Our Ceiling), and how much clearer it sounded than the tube amps I normally use (They say those sound "Muddy") Overall I'd give this amp a 9.2 out of 10. Not bad (Disclaimer: Roland is a consumer unfriendly, extremely uncooperative company to deal with, and if you go to them for support, 9 times out of 10 they're just going to tell you to GFY. The fact that they recently sold this line to Boss I find particularly telling).

  • As designed.

    It is exactly as designed: a portable pa system with 2 input channels and enough punch for an open area. Pricey, but it is my favorite until something better comes along.
