Default VOX DA20 and Roland Street Cube Amp

Has anyone had any experience with either of these Amps. I am looking for a small practice amp that I can play and sing through in the $200 range. Any suggestions?

Hi Raz,

I've had the Cube Street for a couple of years - it's fine for practice and "electronic projects" at home for me. For playing with other people or doing a gig - probably not loud enough. Practice with one or two other guitarists, playing at a LOW level it would be ok. Doing a real real SMALL solo gig - maybe.

Buy by myself, at home - using batteries... LOVE it! I have probably a bad habit of picking up an electric guitar and playing it unamplified. It's so much better plugging in this little thing...

Best luck, Mike

Street cube is cool for just what MikeTX says. Just plain fun and sounds good enough to inspire you. I like my Micro too.

I think that the Vox DA-20 blows the Cube Street away. I think the effects on the Cube Street are less than underwhelming; those on the DA-20 are surprisingly good. I love the form factor of the Cube Street, but I was really disappointed with the sound. I am in the minority, though (check the reviews on Harmony Central).....

But the Roland Mobile Cube is really excellent as a practice amp - the effects are fine (although limited), but for portability it can't be beat, and doesn't color the sound like the Street Cube (or the DA-10, although the latter is much better), and it is surprisingly loud..

YMMV, of course..
