    This is one of THE best reviews of this amp on RUclips. Nice playing. Accurate recording. Well done!

    I had the first version and really liked it and bought the Cube GX version a few years ago and I've got to say it's given me the most enjoyment while playing guitar of any amp I have ever owned. It sounds great, it covers so much ground and doesn't require all kinds of pedals or things that can get in the way of sitting and enjoying playing. Plug in headphones and it sounds like you're in the studio playing through world-class amps.

      @@ddomusic hey I just started playing guitar since a teen in 1996… got Epiphone LP Special ii player pack w/10w Electar (Epiphone) amp that didn’t seem too good. I just bought this Micro Cube GX (demo model for $140) from Sweetwater. So far it sounds great because I play in the bedroom at a pretty low volume. Is this better than that 10w Epiphone amp and *can I use my iPhone 14 Pro with the Roland Micro Cube GX and GarageBand?!* I appreciate any response or helpful suggestions.

      Agreed… I played when I was 16 back in 1996 and bought a Fender squire strat and a Marshall tube amp for like $300 used. Then chasing that Nirvana sound bought a DOD FX69 Grunge pedal, which sounded sick on that 5w (maybe 10w?) Marshall tube amp… think it was a DSL something. It had the gold inlay with so many knobs I didn’t know what to do except just mess around and find something I liked. These days you have to be good at tech support to get good sounds with these amps. I’m old (42) that’s why I bought this. Just simple knobs and no app necessary. I’m *curious if I could use this with a GarageBand on iPhone 14?!*

      I have 2 of them :-) One is in my vacation house, second one in my studio for teaching. I have to mention that I never use a power supply. Batteries last 3-5 months in my case. This is by far the best practice and teaching amp on the market in my own opinion. Thank you for watching the video :-)

    Just bought the last one from Sweetwater as a demo. Unfortunately in white but as a beginner I’m not worried about aesthetics considering my Epiphone special ii already has a loose cable jack?! I think it’s because I was playing sitting on the bed and the way the cable sticks out it put pressure on the jack. I noticed it crackling last two times I played it. I bought a right angled Ernie ball braided cable which hopefully will help with the stress. I’m wondering if I could replace the loose jack myself… as it’s only 4-screws and maybe some soldering which I can do. I just want to jam and the Electar 10 amp is just terrible for any kind crunchy or metal sound. I don’t want an amp that is PC dependent as I don’t own a PC anymore since I’ve had my iPhone the past 5-10yrs. I’m excited for this amp! I played in the 90’s as a teen with a Marshall practice tube amp (Fender squire strat I got off my brothers friend for $300 all in with cables)for about 6/months and just gave up. My old 90’s Fender squire strat was definitely better quality than this Epiphone LP special ii but the fun factor is so much more now that I appreciate it more. Any tips would be greatly appreciated 🤘

      I just got a Katani Mini and not sure why, it's very limited, sounds ok but not great, and the power/volume is very disappointing on it. The Roland is more of a "real' amp,
      mini or not. It's really intended more as a true compact portable amp for busking or practice. It seems to pump out a lot of volume level considering its rating. And, it sounds phenomenal. I also own a Vox mini G2 and that's also worth buying for similar reasons. The Katani Mini is spectaculary overrated and seems rather "cheap." No idea
      where the great reviews are coming from on that one. The actual 50 or 100 watt Katana amps, however, are that good.
