CUBE Guitar Amplifier.

USING THE UNIT SAFELY (p. 2–4)

IMPORTANT NOTES (p. 5)

These sections provide important information concerning the proper 
operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have 
gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, 
Owner’s manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be 
saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.

 

Main Features

 

This compact yet highly functional DSP guitar amp features a 12 cm 
(5 inches) speaker and outputs 2 watts.

Powered either by six AA batteries or the included AC adaptor, you 
can use the MICRO CUBE to perform just about anywhere, with up 
to 20 hours of battery-powered playing time (with alkaline batteries; 
battery life may vary according to playing conditions).

Comes equipped with a newly developed digital “TUNING 
FORK,” which you can use to tune your guitar. This function 
includes three tuning key options (normal/half step down/whole 
step down). It can also be used for heavy bottom tunings.

Offers six different COSM amp types.
Amps included: ACOUSTIC / JC CLEAN / BLACK PANEL / 
BRIT COMBO / CLASSIC STACK / R-FIER STACK

 

Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) 

 

is Roland’s innovative and 

powerful sound modeling technology. COSM analyzes the many factors that make up the 
original sound, such as the electrical and physical characteristics of the original, and then 
produces a digital model that can reproduce the same sound.

 

The amp also accepts microphone input, allowing you to use the 
MICRO CUBE as a portable microphone amp.

Onboard EFX section includes 4 types of digital effect, chorus, 
flanger, phaser and tremolo.

 

Separate “DELAY” and “REVERB” effects provided in addition to the EFX.

 

Equipped with “REC OUT jack” convenient for use in recording 
and for use as headphone out.

 

Offers two types of jacks for external input; a 1/4” phone jack and a mini 
jack. This allows you to connect CD players and other backing devices.

 

Also included is a handy strap for greater portability.
