Title: Microcube video demo

Well Ben wanted to hear this thing, so I decided I'd do a Ben style vid :lol:

Got one of these on Saturday for taking to college during free periods, and it turned out to be a lot better than I expected it to be!

Tbh, I just hit record and chatted on with myself whilst playing.. I fudged that Shawn Lane solo and got a little camera conscious hence why I sped up there

Sorry for the short length, the camera won't let me record for longer than 2 mins at a time so I stuck to the sounds I personally like.

Some other things to note about the amp

- it has an aux in so you can plug your walkman into it for a mobile jam machine (you'll need a quarter inch jack plug though)

- it has a record/headphones out that sounds actually not all that bad!

I don't see it replacing my guitarport for recording but if you are a guitarist on a budget in need of a bedroom practise amp/recording solution, don't write off the microcube.

Tbh, the only sound I don't like on it is the recto, it's a bit buzzy sounding and way too harsh... But then again you can't expect a 5 inch 2 watt combo to sound metal can you :P

20 hours life apparently!

I've only used the 9volt adapter so far though...

Sizewise it fits in my backpack with still enough room for *shudder* text books :lol:

You forgot to mention the most important feature: IT CAN RUN ON BATTERIES!!!

Great playing, too. (imo)

Post by: Baxter on September 22, 2005, 03:29:36 PM: I have one as well. It's got some really good sounds.

It's a true closed back amp, the 'full stack' is really bluesy. If you use it with effects pedals it's up there with some £200 amps.

I use it to practise late in the day.
