Roland KC-350
by MiserableMonkey For such a relatively small amplifier, this incredible amplifier really impresses the crowds. I have loved owning this item, and would recommend it to anyone who needs such an item, despite it falling somewhat behind the renowned Marshall products. It has a few downsides, but these are easily counteracted by the upsides. For ... starters, it can be a little heavy at times, but the well-placed handle on top helps a great deal. Another little issue is that it can lose its quality when you turn the volume up quite a bit. The sound otherwise is pretty decent, definitely suitable for anyone putting on a pub gig etc. As a synthesizer amplifier, and that really does show at times. Whilst I'd recommend it as a cheaper option for guitar players, singers and the like, it definitely meets the needs of synth players the best. The quality of sound drops considerably when attempting multiple inputs. The volume for each input then varies, as if each instrument is attempting to overpower the last. So whilst the amplifier offers a massive selection of input channels, I can't see anyone attempts to put on a fairly professional gig using these to the full. At the end of the day though, it does work like a dream for those wanting something above amateur, but below professional. It's a extra special dream when it comes to bass! Read the complete review |

Roland Cube 30X Amplifier
by one-superstore When it comes to buying amps, I have always tended to go down the traditional route (buying more established names, such as Marshall, rather than relative unknowns). However, after becoming fed up with the poor quality sound that i was getting with Marshall, I decided to have a look at the market, to see what else was available. That is ... when I came across this little beauty. (according to the Roland website, it has since been discontinued, but I notice that it can be found on ebay for around £120). Performance Although the range of settings on the Roland Cube 30x amp are in my opinion fairly basic (bass, middle, treble, chorus, flanger, delay, reverb being the major settings, with the added inclusionacoustic gain, black panel gain, brit combo gain, tweed gain, stack gain, classic gain, metal gain, R-fier and Dyna Amp settings), I feel that this doesn't detract from the sound quality of the amp (the sound is very full - when played in 'clean' mode with added reverb and chorus the result is amazing). Similarly, although the size of the amp is very small, this in no way inhibits the amount of sound that is produced (a bit like the old adage of a small car having a large engine). Although small, I feel that it is perfectly versatile, being suitable for both use at home and small scale gigs (pub scene etc), as it has excellent portability (doesn't way a tonne, like most amps) and has a 'power squeezer' button, which can be used to soften the sound (in situations where noise can be an issue). It is a great shame that the Roland Cube 30x has been discontinued as I feel it is an excellent amp. In my opinion, although the range of settings is fairly basic, it offers a sound that is far better than many of its competitors (I felt that the sound produced by Marshall wasn't warm enough). Similarly, the amp is portable (being light in weight, having the addition of a handle), making it perfect for transporting to band practices/ a friend's house. One of the additional benefits that the Roland Cube 30x offers is the 'power squeeze' button (drastically alters the volume, without altering the quality), which can be useful if you have to keep noise at a premium. All in all a very good amp. Read the complete review |

Roland KC-350
by PeteGrayson I bought this amplifier a couple years back when purchasing my Roland SH-201, and did not regret it. This little amplifier really packs a punch, and while being mighty heavy for a little guy like me, is incredibly easy to get around the place (the sturdy handle on top makes it all possible!) First and foremost, it's a ... synthesizer amplifier, and I would certainly not recommend it to guitarists above any other amplifier's by Marshall or Orange. However, I have played my guitar through it before and it gave off a fairly strong clean sound. It was only when I upped the volume that things started to sound a little crackly and crunchy (and not in a badass distortion kinda way). It also gave me a fairly muffled sound when I attempted to plug into the mic-channel and sing through my microphone. However, this may just be my experience and others may have had more success with these elements. As it stands though, I would only suggest this to synth players. In a similar way, I tended to find that plugging more than one instrument in at a time would make for an extremely patchy sound, with both instruments sounding as if they were competing for the amp when played at any reasonable volume. This made the heck load of input channels (each with their own individual volume dials) seem rather pointless to me. However, I did find this incredibly effective for practising with my Roland SH-201, as it allowed me to pump up the volume (almost to max!) whilst keeping a crisp and clear sound. On the other hand, in a live environment I began to feel that the amp wasn't powerful enough to hold its own as I played with my bandmates. Eventually, I decided to just start plugging into the venue's PA system and leave the amp at home. As it is primarily a piano and synthesizer amplifier, it does not contain any built in effects such as delay or distortion. It does let you alter the High and Low end frequencies of the sound though, which can come in handy when you're ready for some serious bass! As an added bonus, it does work perfectly for blasting out some music from an ipod, provided you have the appropriate adaptor cable to go with it. Read the complete review |
