The selections as far as "amp modeling" are outstanding. The effects are OK, but the overall sound you get is awesome. It is only a 2-watt amp, but dont pay too much attention to that; it is LOUD. Not a "gig amp, but perfect for recording and practicing without real drums. Everyone I show it to is just as blown away as I am. I have also hooked it up to larger amps and a PA system, and this thing really works well. Worth every penny, and then some.

An old practice amp I had finally petered out after many years of use so I was in the market for another one. I was looking for something compact and cheap yet of fairly good quality and was recommended the Roland Microcube one day while browsing in a Guitar Center. First off I was amazed at the kind of sound that you could get out of this 2 watt amp! Plus the portability of it is unmatched. It also runs on batteries which was a pleasant surprise! The effects that are bundled into this little practice amp is another added plus! Just for the effects alone I would have plopped down the money!
I have a Fender Stratocaster that sounded so good once I plugged it in and an Ovation Acoustic Electric which sounded crisp and clean as well! So if youre looking for a nice practice amp that wont break the pocketbook you cant get any better than this IMHO.
You Tube this amp and see what I mean. This amp is a lot of fun and great value for the money!

i bought the cube because i wanted a smaller portable amp to take to work or on road trips. this has since become my main amp, easily besting my Marshall MG15DFX. the acoustic channel with reverb will do a nice job of simulating an acoustic, but its extremely quiet. the JC Clean is a decent clean channel, but for cleans i prefer the Black Panel option, a little smoother cleans, with a bluesier sound to it. the R-fier mode is a bone-crunching metal tone, i use it for all metal, from sabbath to metallica, pantera, dethklok and everything in between. the effects are all very decent and work well. the only problem with this amp is the 2 remaining channels. the brit combo and classic stack are extremely thin. they are pretty much unusable, as they are very tinny, thin, and can make a 1000 dollar dean sound like a 90 dollar squier. those models aside, this amp is worth the money, and i am very pleased with this purchase.

I dont usually write reviews unless I am pretty impressed with a product. This amp is great. It is small and has a really great sound. It is great for a portable practice session anywhere. Pretty loud for 5 watts. Not enought to jam with drums of course. I bought one so I dont have to power up my Mesa. The rectifier setting on this amp can pull some quality Pantera riffs. The clean tone sounds great for solid state. All of the effect setting sound pretty damn good. The battery option is great so you could take it to the beach or use it a portable station for your ipod. Buy one, you wont be dissappointed.

This was a gift for our US Marine Corp son who was looking for big sound, a small footprint, and portability. The Roland Cube certainly exceeded his expectations. Its perfect for the barracks and will go with him on his next deployement.

This is a great product. Easy and portable -it makes a terrific sound and has multiple tunings and adjustments. Can run with the big boys.

Ive had the Cube for 2 and a half months now. It offers a wide range of effects, sufficient amplification for home practice, and...a wide of effects. The effects are really what this product is all about. What it lacks in power, it punches you in the face with various sound distortions. Acoustic, Heavy Metal, all these sounds are packed into this Cube.
Best of all, its small and portable! Like the vast majority, I am constrained by budget (who isnt! :P). While no professional guitarist needs this, I consider it a good buy for most of us part-timers.
