[Harp-L] Re: Boss Micro Cube first impressions

[Sylvia & Fred <fsstov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I second Richard Hunter's post regarding the Roland Micro Cube.  Good 
sound, minimally useful effects, but with a touch of the reverb it's 
quite nice (I also kind of dig the "JC Clean" modeller, but to each his 
own).  Extremely portable.  Alas, I haven't used a Pignose either, but I 
believe the Micro Cube is quite a bit smaller.  I got mine to take to 
SPAH last year and it was great for hotel room jamming.  I agree with 
Richard that for serious work you need better gear, but very cool for 
jamming or as a little practice amp.  It's only 5W, but does have a line 
out which I've run to a keyboard amp (PA) when I need to compete on 
sound.  Runs on 6 AA's which seem to last quite a while.  I also second 
Richard's point that it's best to test before buying (although I did 
pick mine up on the basis of a mention a while back on .... where was 
that ... oh yeah, harp-l).
