General
The Micro Cube GX is the successor of the popular portable Micro Cube guitar amplifier. This Roland Micro Cube GXR is the red edition and features a wide range of practical functions and convincing sounds. New additions to the amp are the chromatic tuner, the rugged-sounding amplifier model, Extreme, the surf-style Spring reverb, a deliciously deep Heavy Octave effect, a memory button and the i-Cube Link connector. This battery or adapter-powered amplifier is as compact as it ever was and is even a little more powerful than its predecessor.
Applications of the Micro Cube GX
An amplifier like the Roland Micro Cube GX offers endless possibilities. Practising in the back seat of your car, warming up before a gig, taking your first steps into the world of playing, playing at a party or at a campsite... It's all possible with this portable amp. Simply plug in your electric guitar and select one of the many amp sounds, from super-clean to ultra-rugged. You can even apply some reverb or delay, as well as a number of other great effects.
A New Input on the Cube
Located on the top panel of the Micro Cube GX is a practical new input, which not only serves as a regular input for external audio sources, such as a smartphone or a laptop, but is also an intelligent means of communication for your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. Thanks to this i-Cube Link connector, playing along and recording with your favourite iOS app is a piece of cake. In combination with the exceptionally practical CUBE JAM app (which is available for download free of charge), it takes playing and recording to a new level.

Top!
Zeker, de cube is klein maar het geluid allerminst. Het geluid is vol met voldoende nuance. De diverse versterker modellen zijn allemaal naar eigen smaak bij te kleuren. Van clean (mooi) naar een vette distortion, het kan allemaal. Maar nog belangrijker: het geluid is immer mooi. Geen buzz of nare bijgeluiden. De bediening is simpel en overzichtelijk. Dus niks ingewikkelds! Het apparaat is stevig behuist en dat geldt ook voor het bedieningspaneel.
Kortom: echt een kwaliteitsproduct! Een subliem geluid ongeacht welk versterker model je ook selecteert.
Als ik een minpunt zou moeten noemen is het de iOS connectiviteit. Een aparte kabel wordt gewoon bij het pakket meegeleverd. Dat is niet het punt van kritiek. Maar de app zelf stelt geen bal voor. Opnemen kun je doen en meespelen met nummers die je eerst koopt via iTunes kan ook. Maar, wie zit daar nu op te wachten? Ik niet althans. Maar het is een extraatje, dus als je daar niet te veel verwachtingen bij hebt, heb je met deze cube een super product in handen. Het gaat tenslotte om het geluid dat de cube voortbrengt en dat is tiptop in orde!
Makkelijk mee te nemen, en door er een gitaarband om te doen ook ideaal om lopend over straat of waar dan ook elektrisch te kunnen spelen, met batterijen erin gaat hij dagen mee!
Geeft een mooi en helder geluid, en ook nog best hard!
Ook de memory functie is ideaal.
Bij deze nieuwe versie van de microcube zit de aan/uit schakelaar bovenop, en dat is erg fijn.
Ook de aparte Master knop is ideaal, zeker als je hem als speaker gebruikt om muziek af te spelen.
Kortom, een heel klein handig ding, met veel power!
Perso j'utilise surtout le Classic Stack avec une pédale Wampler Hot Wired 2, sans pédale, je trouve la saturation un peu raide, pas assez ronde, pas assez pleine. (Mais bon je suis habitué aux lampes) Par contre le micro cube prend bien les pédales, donc pas de problème. Je ne suis pas fan des effets, j'utilise la reverb qui est correcte (à moitié de son réglage) Le heavy octave est marrant aussi pour les riffs Hendrixiens par exemple (il sauve aussi les deux son "Métal" un peu trop aigus à mon goût).
Je mets 4 étoiles car pour sa taille et son prix le micro cube fait son taf, mobilité extrême, son utilisable (quoique à la taille de son petit haut parleur) parfait pour les vadrouilles là ou on n'a pas de prises de courant sous la main... Si vous pouvez vous brancher prenez un ampli avec un HP 12 pouces, à lampe de préférence !
Door de amp-modeling diverse soorten geluid mogelijk en ook de effectprocessor levert een zeer behoorlijk bruikbaar resultaat op. Door de mogelijkheid om de versterker op batterijen te laten werken ook bruikbaar op straat.
Handig is ook de memory-functie die per amp-model de diverse instellingen voor gain, volume, effecten etc. opslaat die snel weer op te roepen zijn onafhankelijk van hoe de potmeters zijn ingesteld. Als je daarna een van de regelaars verdraait dan worden de instellingen op het paneel weer gebruikt)
Het maximale vermogen is 3 watt, je kan er geen stadion mee volspelen maar als oefenversterker of voor een semi-akoustisch straatoptreden uiterst geschikt.

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax MusicBlackstar has gone from a newcomer to an established name in a short space of time. One of their greatest assets is the Infinite Shape Feature or ISF circuit (as it's otherwise known) that they developed themselves. With the ISF circuit, Blackstar managed to greatly increase the versatility of tube amplifiers without the use of digital technology. The new Artist 15 and Artist 30 models both have an ISF circuit fitted and can produce the typical American 6L6 sound, as well as beloved British AC clean and crunch.

Now however, the time is ripe for VOX to introduce another series that, rather than show another slow and steady improvement, offer something more like evolution accelerated. Meet the VT20X, the VT40X and the VT100X, the first three models from the new series.
