MICRO CUBE DEBUTS

The Famous Cube Sound in an Ultra-Compact Amp

Anaheim, January 15, 2004—Roland is proud to announce the Micro Cube, the smallest member of the Cube family. Weighing in at just 7.5 pounds, this compact guitar amp packs a big punch and comes with six DSP effects, COSM® Amp Modeling and a new Digital Tuning Fork—giving guitarists an amp with killer tone and a choice of battery or AC power.

The Micro Cube comes with a 5-inch/2-watt low magnetic leakage speaker and is the first Cube amplifier that can run on batteries. Using six “AA” alkaline batteries, guitarists can play for up to 20 hours. A carrying strap is also included, giving players total freedom to play on the go.

Onboard effects include seven amazing-sounding COSM guitar amp models from classic to modern and a special mic preamp, plus six DSP effects: chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo and a separate Delay/Reverb processor. An innovative Digital Tuning Fork feature lets players tune up easily with support for flat tunings up to two semitones.

Connections include a standard 1/4-inch Guitar input, plus a choice of 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch stereo Auxiliary inputs—perfect for connecting a CD player or line-level source. There’s also a Recording/Headphones output for private listening or connection to recording devices and more.
