Totally worth its money

Good sound, fairly extensive effects, multiple inputs and outputs

I will change the writing : 4 channels because there are two proper channels with eq ecc.. and the other two they do not have the same features

For street use this is is a good amplifier, it's loud and you will be heard above the bus noise directly in front of you. The effects are good and the power switching is a great feature.Long time battery use is obtained this way. You can add your backing tracks through the separate input using the supplied cable if you like. It's not for me but good to see that it's there. Lots of variety with inputs and outputs. I have used acoustic and an electric guitar(squire telecaster) with this

amp. The sound quality on the other hand is a little disappointing (especially regarding vocals) for what you would expect from wonderful Roland family. Still though I'm glad I have it and I have even played small gigs with it and got paid.A little bit expensive for what you get.

Great little portable amp. Lasts a while even on battery and sounds great even for my picky ears.

Versatile and powerful, the best portable amp around

I've used this for a while now, for both small jam sessions and outdoor busking. This thing is brilliant. I have rehearsed with four people through the amp, with the multiple inputs making it ideal for little practice sessions. The volume and quality of the sound when using the guitar or mic inputs is fantastic.

Very good

Good for the price, but it lacks of phantom power. Automatic noise gate sounds strange sometimes.

AWSOME

Bought this for light entertaining and busking also to use while I'm camping and AWSOME, light weight, great sounding amp which ticks all the boxes and plenty of bass for such a small amp can't wait for summer to come to get it out doors. Love singing and performing so will be an added piece to my arsenal of kit

Cube Street EX

I tried a Cube Street (non EX) before purchasing this.

As a PA: Backing music + Guitar + Singer this is the unit to get. Period.

The set of speakers have a much better overall sound for the job, pristine highs and more bass and is also loud.

As a Guitar amp alone is also very good, it is LOUD!...it will give you more than enough dBs even at medium power.

The models are good, certainly usable, I like specially the Clean and Overdrive tones for Jazz, but I tried the crunch/lead and sounds about right to me, good bassy chug chug sound and good metal lead.

The reverb is quite decent and you DO need it since is stereo and your guitar input is gonna be mono (they could do it stereo I guess, but that means double the DSP taken by the amp model)...so with this unit you want to use mono based FX pedals as Gate/Comp/Mono Chorus/Delay.

You can also connect your guitar to the Line Inputs, so if you have a stereo pedal (as a MT100BT) it would work perfectly.

I don't think the reverb sounds metallic or unpleasant at all, the delay could benefit of some volume knob, currently you can only adjust the delay time with the knob. Thankfully Roland set the delay volume so is usable in most scenarios, from slapback to long delays. I'm gonna be using my FX pedal anyway.

The three band EQ in Instrument/Mic sections is very welcome, I had troubles getting a good voice on the smaller Roland Street as it didn't have a "mid" band.

I think this amp has everything you need, plus the portability. It is indeed not as heavy as it looks.

I would recommend the smaller Street for those who need just a guitar amp, I've got the Red one before and is light loud and very cute for just a guitar. But for those wanting an all round solution this is the way to go.

I will probably buy another at some point to have the pair and be able to open the stereo.

Amazing busking amp

I use 2 of them in stereo link to go busking. We run a guitar and a double bass through them, and it's just amazing the sound you get. They are solid as a rock and designed to resist on the street daily. Totally recomend them.

the amp sounds good, it's powerful and portable, lightweight as promised and works with a variety of instruments, the built in delay/chorus and reverb sound good, the clean channels on this amp sound great as roland are known for, the distortion channels just don't do it, the lead channel just doesn't have the sustain or tone to really play a powerful lead, and the tuner doesn't work well, it's not a huge problem for me since I use separate pedals for distortion and tuning but for anyone without pedals this amp might not be quite as functional as you need it to be.
