Feature:
Liked the tuner!
STILL - Roland, why is there no external control to turn the f/x on/off? I've accepted the fact that you give us hardly any control over the f/x, but it would be nice to stomp the f/x or delay/reverb on/off as needed during a tune.
The stereo chorus sounded VERY NICE!
Quality:
Never had a Roland product take a crap on me. This one seemed as sturdy as all the other Roland products I've owned.
Value:
Could've been a HUGE winner for ROland, what with promise of sounding like it's little brother, only louder and with a tuner. Sadly, it's "newly designed" speakers don't do this amp any justice, and produce a sad, boomy/middy mess.
Desirability:
It's being returned...
Sound:
Wow, I was really disappointed with the micro cube RX.. like the review before mine, I was and am a big fan of the original 2 1/2 watt micro cube. I really wanted a built in tuner and a little more volume, so the MC RX seemed like the ticket. Uhhhh, no, it was returned.
It was very hard to dial in a sound that sounded as good as the original MC. The acoustic setting in the new RX sounded little more than a Roland JC clone, not at all acoustic like the original MC. The JC120 did sound fantastic on the RX, as did the mid-dirt channels. However the higher gain models only sounded good at low volumes. Punch the volume up (and there is a most noticeable boost in the amount of volume available) and the tones fall apart, and take a "boomy" and plastic quality.
Another problem I had was with the EQ. Almost all of the models required the treble control to be 100%. To eliminate the boomy mud in the mids, the middle control had to really be cut back, and in a lot of cases, so did the bass control. Yuch! Very very hard to dial in a usable sound on just about any model.
Ease of Use:
Hard to argue with the ease of use... easy to use as a toaster.
