What do you think about it? I know very little about amps, but I've read some reviews and it seems intetesting.

I used to like mine, but now I've given it to my 9 year old to play with his Strat.
The built in effects are nice, but I've noticed it has nowhere near the sustain that I get plugging into other amps...almost as if something is wrong with it. Any chord or note I hit will fade and die much more quickly plugged into the MicroCube. Same guitar, same chord, etc. It's weird. Maybe I just have a bad one?

i own one of these. i found it on the street. far better then many other battery powered micro amps. good for travelling around but don't think it will replace a quality combo/stack/rack mount anytime soon. these excel at making sound for people who have little space, don't need the blasting power of a bigger amp, or who want to try something new and different for recording. kinda fits in between headphones and a 12'' celestion. if this is something that appeals to you then grab one.

Ours has served well. I much prefer our Yamaha THR10 for tube-like playing feel and rich low volume tone, OK, add the mixing ext audio source. My daughter likes the Micro Cube because of size, strap and battery life.

I love mine, I use it for teaching.
My only gripe is sometimes the low notes flub out on the blackface Fender model..but I usually just use the JC Clean and a little reverb.

I used to have the street cube which is a really handy portable amp. Sound is about as good as you can expect from low end digital modelling technology, but definitely good enough as a practice amp!

They're good as little practice/travel amps.
They're not going to cause people to drop their JC-120's, but they do what they're designed to do. I'm generally a Roland fanboy, but found these particularly decent for what they are. Have realistic expectations, you'll be perfectly satisfied with one.

I had one of those for busking. Great little amp. The sounds are okay, they do the job. Its pretty loud for a small practice space as well.
The rectifier setting is great with a Les Paul type guitar or any humbuckers. Mine had a separate microphone channel as well with its own effects. A huge bonus. And the battery life is very long. It isn't an amp that compares to a higher end one, but its portability and features for small venues and home practice make it well worth the money.
