"GET READY TO BE STRONGLY DISAPPOINTED."

Overall: 0.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I am trying to trade this thing in locally at a music store.
Sound
I have a Roland GW-7 keyboard. Love it!!! So, I bought this amp just for amp use. I was very disappointed with distortion with volume turned past 3. It distorts the base terribly. I see why they have an input for a subwoofer. This does not live up to the Roland name.....avoid this product.
Features
Basic features........I have no complaints. Nothing is missing here.
Ease of Use
Very easy to use and understand controls.
Quality
Cosmetically appealing
Value
If it distorts in your home at level 3 volume, then it is worthless to me.
Manufacturer Support
Have not had to use.

"Great Starter Keyboard Amp"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Good starter amp when on a budget. But I do plan to buy the Roland KC-550. That's the stereo amp I desire for all my home needs.
Sound
Good sound, but remember this is not a stereo amp. As most keyboards are. Have yet to crank it up, I live in a apartment complex. Don't need the police knocking on my door.
Features
I like that it has 3 channels. so I can use my Korg X50, Roland Gaia, and my Epiphone Guitar all through the same amp. Helps with limited space. Also like the ability to raise or lower the highs and lows of my equiptment. Has hook up also for Mic, Aux, Subwoofer and stereo connect to another Roland amp. And I will in time.
Ease of Use
Dah! Just plug and play. That simple. No learning curve-lol.
Quality
This is my first Roland amp. It seems well made. And looks great. Roland has a good reputation so I expect this to last a long time. I use a towel to keep it covered when not in use. I want it to look great for as long as possible.
Value
A little pricey. But worth it. And as I said it does look great. Got to have cool looking equiptment for any friends or guests that stop by.
Manufacturer Support
N/A. Just got this about 3 weeks ago. So far no need for support and do not expect to any time soon.
The Wow Factor
This is a learning venture for me. The Roland KC-60 looks good and sounds good. It's portable, only 30 LBS. And being disabled this is a plus. I can pick it up myself. This is a stepping stone till I get more income, so a good buy. My next amp will be the Roland KC-550, that is a 4 channel must buy stereo amp! Do check it out.

Musical Background:

Guitar and learning the keyboards. I jam at home for fun. But some day!

Musical Style:

Ballad Guitar is my main style. But with my recent purchases above mentioned from zzounds. I'm playing all types of music. And n

Not satisfied at all.
Sound
Very tinny sounding on high end using a stage piano.
Quality
Wouldn't use to play out anywhere.
Manufacturer Support
I asked about the sound quality on this amp before I purchased it and was told that the tinny sound on the high end was resolved but as far as I'm concerned it's terrible.

Roland KC60 Keyboard Amp Customer Review

Overall: 1.5 out of 5 stars

I've already bought another amp and am looking to ditch this one, the only use I've found for it is at acoustic rehearsals
Sound
Sounds fine at very low volumes, as soon as you try to get any sort of level out of it the sound distorts horribly. Utterly useless as a stage amp for even the smallest venues
