zZounds Gear Experts Say...
With six amp models and eight effects packed in a 12" x 9" battery-powered package, the Cube Street is as much a portable audio toolbox as it is an amp.
Overview
With a footprint of 12" x 9", the Cube Street by Roland is a portable, compact powerhouse designed for the musician on the go. Whether you need something for rehearsal, guitar lessons, or busking on the street, there is no amp better designed for your intended uses than this. Though it can be used with AC power, you'll probably want to use your Cube Street on-the-go, making the unit's battery operation your best friend. Even packed full of the 6 AA batteries required to power the Cube, this amp weighs in at a svelte 11 pounds. Light as a feather, but heavy enough for rock!
Versatility is its Middle Name
If you think small size means small in features, then you're in for a treat. The Cube Street actually boasts more features than you'll find on most full-sized amps. With its dual-channel architecture, you can plug your guitar into the 1/4-inch instrument jack and your microphone into the XLR input to sing while you shred. Part amp, part PA, it also includes a 1/8-inch auxiliary jack to plug in your MP3 or CD player for jamming along to backing tracks. When you're warming up before the gig, use the onboard headphone jack for silent practicing.COSM Technology for COSMic Tones
By now you've got to be thinking to yourself, "Ok, I get it. This tiny little box has every feature I could want or need from a portable guitar amp and personal PA, but there's no way it actually sounds good!" Think again. Featuring two stellar 6.5-inch Neodymium speakers, this little bugger has… read more tone, volume, and a stereo spread that belies its size, putting out a total of five really loud and clean watts. Tweakability is the key to honing in on your signature tones, which is why the XLR channel features volume, bass, treble, and delay/reverb knobs. Add to that the controls on the instrument channel, which are gain, volume, bass, middle, treble, EFX, and delay/reverb, and you've got yourself one versatile little Cube. As if that weren't enough, Roland managed to squeeze in 8 amp models and 6 effects built using their COSM technology -- yep, the very same technology powering all of your favorite Boss pedals. Running the gamut from sparkly pop clean tones to molten metal-core brutality, you will be able to find the perfect sound for your application, every time. Just dial in your sound with the EFX knob, and off you go!9-Volt Adapter and Onboard Tuner Included
This amp includes a 9V AC power adapter for powering it from a wall socket, or you can get 15 hours of life from 6 AA batteries; that's enough juice for even the most excessive Trey Anastasio-inspired jam sessions. Last but certainly not least, the amp includes a built-in chromatic tuner, eliminating yet another piece of gear to lug around with you. read lessSpecs

If the Product were upgraded, I'd strongly consider it. If Roland made a more powerful version of it, I'd get rid of my small PA.
Sound
The unit has the same basic sound of the other Cubes. The Cube is one of the best practice amps on the market. I play in bands and also am starting a one man show with Mp3's. I use this for nyrsing homes, Hospital performances, things like that. It's perfect. the volume is just right for that type of venue. This is the best investment I've made in a long time! I also find it to be the ideal practice amp for what I'm doing. I can also line it out in stereo and use the cube street as my sub-mixer for quick setups.
Features
I use everything on it. Only thong I wish it had was a volume control for the mp3 input.
Ease of Use
I had no problems with the functions at all. it is very simple.
Quality
I see no reasson why it would break down. I was in the music retail business for years and never saw a Roland amp needing service. Roland's QC is some of the best in the business.
Value
Very much so.
Manufacturer Support
I've never needed support for this product, but anytime I've needed something from Roland they've always delivered.
The Wow Factor
I don't think "Sex Appeal" applies. This is just the most practical purchase I've made out of all the gear I've purchased in the last year.
