Review: Bottom line best amp for Steel Guitar - This little thing is a BEAST of an amp for lap steel guitar. It's voiced remarkably well for Hawaiian lap steel. Bobby Ingano is a Hawaiian Lap Steel Master from Hawaii, and he currently tours with Taj Mahal as his steel player and backup electric guitar player. Bobby tours the world with a Roland Mobile Cube for his Rickenbacher Frypan Lap Steel, and a Roland Micro Cube for his stratocaster. Both are powered by 6 AA batteries, and all he does is have them both mic'd with an SM57. Don't knock it till you've tried it. In addition to being very portable, the benefit of gigging with a battery powered amp is that you don't have to plug into the wall. Very many bars, restaurants, venues, etc have dirty power that can introduce noise into your guitar amp. Being Battery powered means you are a completely self sufficient little ecosphere. You can get consistent results, sound, and tone in every playing situation. If the little amp isn't loud enough, then you're likely playing in a band situation where someone can mic your amp with an SM57. IMO, one of the best tones for lap steel guitar, and very serviceable tone for electric and acoustic guitar.
Review: Roland Mobile AC AKA The Mickey Rooney - I mention Mickey Rooney, because this little unit enables you to "put on a show" anywhere you like. And like Mickey, despite its small stature, it packs a punch and has some serious skillzzz. I don't think I have ever had any new gear surpass my expectations, as much as this little busker. Definitely voiced for an acoustic guitar and microphone. Separate inputs for each. Separate volume controls. Shared reverb and chorus Reverb is decent. And the chorus, which I normally don't like, is superb. This unit is totally quiet. Even when using both the microphone and guitar. And I don't know how they did it, but it is extremely feedback resistant. Even when you push the 5W to the max. And I have been using this nonstop, in my home because my acoustic guitars sound absolutely fantastic, through this little amp. The only dedicated acoustic amp I ever had was a fender acoustasonic junior. It was pretty good. But my D-28 and J-45's both sound heavenly, through this lunch box sized over-achiever. The best $129 I have ever spent. PS. It also has a 3rd audio input, which also has a separate volume conttol, if you'd like to play along with something from an outside source. The only thing I miss are seperate reverb controls for guitar and mike. But the combined reverb gets the job done. can you say STEREO? Yeah Baby. Roland Beethovan! [...]

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use a microphone, electric guitar & Mp3 player all at the same time?**
A: You absolutely can. Inputs include one (1/4") mono microphone jack plus two (1/4") keyboard/instrument jacks (one jack for each side of the stereo output).  The Tone and Delay/Reverb function work globally, controlling both microphone and keyboard/instrument input at the same time.  The keyboard/instrument inputs also have other special effects that are separate from microphone input.  The unit ALSO includes auxiliary stereo inputs for MP3's etc., using one stereo 1/8" jack or (L/R) RCA jacks. The auxiliary input also includes an optional center cancel function to eliminate some, but not all center frequencies, where vocals are usually placed. This allows you to use it like a karaoke device or to play backtracking.

**Q: would this be a good monitor for electric drumsets?**
A: I hope this Roland cube battery-powered amp up to my Yamaha explorer electric drum kit .   There was a good volume but  Little bass drum response .

**Q: Does the amp come with the cord for connecting to instrument?**
A: No, but I include the cable with the amp. I had to buy it.

**Q: Will the reverb effect the mic while I’m playing guitar?**
A: Yes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Roland mobile cube
*by K***K on August 13, 2012*

Let me start by saying that I am very impressed with this unit when used for what it is designed for. You could not play a gig with it unless it was a small room background music kind of environment. It will distort the sound slightly when turned up to full volume, but not much. It could use a feedback eliminator like the Roland AC-33. Also, it only accepts 1/4 inch phone plugs connectors for the microphone input. you wont be able to plug in and standard low impedence mic cable without an tranformer adaptor. I have been able to use a shure SM-58 an SM-57 very successfully with this amp. That being said, it sounds wonderful when kept within it's limits. It great for practice and the vocal eliminator works as well as most I have tried. You could use it for street music as well(Just not loud). It also makes an excellent amp for computer or other multimedia amplification. I am a music teacher so I also like to use it for my metronome, iphone accoustic guitar etc. It's well built, the batteries last a long time and it's very light and easy to carry and a breeze to set up. just don't expect to play a rock concert on it. I would highly recommend and I would buy another if I needed to. If you need a little more power, you might try a roland AC-33.
