Roland Mobile Cube

Has anybody tried the Roland Mobile Cube? It looks like a real versatile amp.

It's a good amp...small and LOUD.
The amp of choice for ukulele playing buskers...

Check out my reviews on battery powered amps. Our entire stage is battery powered, including the P.A. system:

Check out the Vox DA5, which has more power, a larger speaker and a microphone input with a seperate volume control:

It looks like the stereo mobile cube has the same wattage as the DA5 (5W) only 2 speakers X 2.5W. Is the DA5 still louder? The mobile cube has a seperate microphone input but looks like no effects on the mic. I like the fact that it has a mic stand thread on the bottom to use as a monitor. It also has stereo inputs to plug in a a drum machine or other stereo mp3 player of device which is cool.

Thanks!

The DA5 is louder at a lower price. Like the Mobile Cube, there are no effects on the microphone channel. The DA5 has an auxillery input for CD players and MP3 players, too. If budget is not a big issue look at:

Tuscadero in this forum uses a Mobile Cube and she enjoys it. The Roland Cube Street and Roland AC-33 both have seperate effects on the microphone channel. They are both very loud and clean. Ric

The AC-33 is very cool! Thanks again for your input!

Aloha Ricdoug,
Many thanks for the pic's, didn't realize that it that good...I thought it would be
a much simpler design with fewer controls....now with the price at $80.00
it's getting harder to resist and easier to buy.. MM Stan....
BTW- I thought you lived in Hawaii, since I saw that picture at Ocean house..
Do you come here often?? MM Stan..

I live in San Diego's North County, Stan. I've been told by many Hawaiians that we have more ukulele players here than Hawaii! Ric
