About This Product!
Overview
Description
From Our Catalog
Big on Features, Small on Footprint
With a footprint of 12" x 9", the Cube Street by Roland is a portable, compact powerhouse designed for the musician on the go. Whether you need something for rehearsal, guitar lessons, or busking on the street, there is no amp better designed for your intended uses than this. Though it can be used with AC power, you'll probably want to use this on-the-go, making the Cube Street's battery operation your best friend. Even packed full of the 6 AA batteries required to power the Cube, this amp weighs in at a svelte 11 pounds. Light as a feather, but heavy enough for rock!

Versatility is My Middle Name
If you think small size means small in features, then you're in for a rude awakening. The Cube Street actually boasts more features than you'll find on most full-sized amps! With its dual-channel architecture, you can plug your guitar into the 1/4-inch instrument jack and your microphone into the XLR input to sing while you shred. Part amp, part PA, the Cube Street also includes a 1/8-inch auxiliary jack to plug in your MP3 or CD player for jamming along to backing tracks. When you're warming up before the gig, use the onboard headphone jack for silent practicing.

COSM Technology for COSMic Tones
By now you've got to be thinking to yourself, "Ok, I get it. This tiny little box has every feature I could want or need from a portable guitar amp and personal PA, but there's no way it actually sounds good!" Think again, Cochise. Featuring two stellar 6.5-inch Neodymium speakers, this little bugger has tone, volume, and a stereo spread that belies its size, putting out a total of 5 really loud and clean watts. Tweakability is the key to honing in on your signature tones, which is why the XLR channel features volume, bass, treble, and delay/reverb knobs. Add to that the controls on the instrument channel, which are gain, volume, bass, middle, treble, EFX, and delay/reverb, and you've got yourself one versatile little Cube. As if that weren't enough, Roland managed to squeeze in 8 amp models and 6 effects built using their COSM technology--yep, the very same technology powereing all of your favorite Boss pedals. Running the gamut from sparkley pop clean tones to molten metalcore brutality, you will be able to find the perfect sound for your application, every time. Just dial in your sound with the EFX knob, and off you go!

That's Not All, Folks!
Guitars aren't only available in one color, and neither is the Cube Street. Available in your choice of Red or Black covering, your gear can stand out as much as your songs and stage clothes. This amp includes a 9v AC adapter for powering it from a wall socket, or you can get 15 hours of life from 6 AA batteries; that's enough juice for even the most excessive Trey Anastasio-inspired jam sessions. Last but certainly not least, the amp includes a built-in chromatic tuner, eliminating yet another piece of gear to lug around with you.
If you’re a musician who’s on the move, the new Cube Street is for you. Whether you’re running to a rehearsal, lesson, street gig, or any situation that requires portability and versatility, the Cube Street is a battery-powered marvel that’s ready to travel fast. The Cube Street sounds amazing and is capable of high-volume output thanks to dual (or two) digital power amps and a pair of high-performance neodymium speakers. And just wait until you hear the built-in effects and amp models!

Great Sound to Go
Roland Cube amps are famous for performance that exceeds their physical size, and the Cube Street is no exception. With two highperformance neodymium speakers onboard, this amp sounds incredible, and is capable of high-volume output that defies its physical dimensions. Best of all, it can run for up to 15 hours on just six AA alkaline batteries.

8 Amps Onboard
More than meets the eye, the Cube Street is actually 8 different amps in one via its built-in COSM amp models. From tube-driven blues classics to modern metal stacks, Roland’s COSM technology is world famous for capturing every nuance of the original amps — from the preamp and circuits to the speaker.

Bonus Features
The Cube Street is chock full of extra features to make your gigs easier, including a built-in chromatic tuner and 2 digital effects processors. In addition to the aforementioned COSM amp models, you can choose from six of Roland’s famous effects to enrich your sound.

Portable PA
It’s a guitar amp and mini PA system in one! With its dual-channel architecture and XRL/1/4 in. Microphone input, you can sing and play guitar through one convenient amplifier. There’s even a delay and reverb devoted to the Mic/Line channel.

Choose Your Color
Classic black or fire-engine red? Take your pick. Like the best-selling Micro-Cube, the Cube Street comes in a choice of colors so you can express yourself musically and visually.

Roland Cube Street Battery-Powered Stereo Guitar Combo Amplifier (5 Watts, 2x6.5 in.) Reviews

9 People rated this product :

"Best little amp in the world."
Feature:
Came with a/c adapter. Used 6 AA batteries. Controlls are nicely marked and easy to see. It has a tilt to it, facing upward toward the audience. I only wish that the controlls faced the other way so I could see them right side up as it faces away from me. You have to read and adjust the controll, and then turn it toward the audience.

Quality:
Like all Roland Products, this thing is built like a tank. My Micro Cube has been 100 percent reliable and I know this Street Cube will serve me well too.

Value:
I would have paid even more since this is the perfect amp and has the perfect sound.

Desirability:
It is the pefect size and weight. At 5 watts, it sounds like 30 watts.

Sound:
I owned two Mico-cubes by Roland. They were very nice, but I wanted just a little more power for my small club gigs. The Street Cube was perfect. Like the Micro cube, it did not alter the sound of my acoustic flamenco guitar when played on acoustic mode. However, it enhanced the roundness of the sound and made it richer. The two speakers, slighly large ones than the Micro cube, and the 25 per cent increase in power, really made a difference. Running on batteries (I play outside quite a bit) was a plus. It is extremely lightweight and caused no hastle transporting it. I play in a restaurant which requires me to change locations often. Taking this small amp from room to room was a breeze. I do not use a microphone. Instead, I use a stick on Matrix Guitar Tuner Pick-up, model MPU-1, which has a suction cup. I bought an extension cord for it from Radio Shack, since the cord it come with is only about 18 inches long. This little gem cost me only $14 and beats carrying a microphone. I love using this cube with the reverb all the way up, for a very romanitic sound. For my guitar, I set the treble and base controll at about 12 oclock position and the midrange completely off. It produces the sound of my guitar with no added coloring. I love this unit. A dream come true.

Ease of Use:
The sound is everything. Just fantastic.

Support:
I never had a reason to deal with Roland.

Overall:
My search is over. This is my dream amp for what I do.

"Small and Beautiful"
Feature:
It is feature packed and nothing beats it. However, as the question has been asked it could benefit from a compressor on the guitar side and a rechargeable soultion for the batteries. Then it would get a 10! Alo, the covers are not being made availabe in the UK. Really, it should come with one because there is no doubt this amp is for the outdoors.

Quality:
Solid Roland build. So far so good. Tank like compared to what I have seen with Vox battery powered stuff.

Value:
Money well spent.

Desirability:
If you do vocals and guitar, you should have one.

Sound:
Quite remarkable. I am using it with a Traveler Ultralight and you can get quite unbelievable variations out of the amp. Nothing sounds bad, all good. Just pick the sound for the song and off you go!

Ease of Use:
So easy to use. Intuitive and good. Perfect! Although, they could bring out a version that offered digital storage of settings so you can recall them for each song. However, it's not hard to simply use the knobs.

Support:
Never had to call them. Although the cover thing has irked me a little.

Overall:
I have two or theree bits of kit that I feel are absolute classics. This is definitely one.
