Roland Mobile Cube Amplifier-new! - 06/26/08 12:25 PM
Saw a neat little stereo battery operated amplifier in Nashville last week-end. It's the Roland Mobile Cube. Not in stores yet, but pretty cool! Heard it used with guitar and tried it with a keyboard. Could be used as a powered spot monitor. Runs on 6 AA batteries (15 hours, I'm told) or an optional adapter. About the size and shape of an old portable radio.
Has delay and reverb-two 4" speakers and a variety of inputs. sold as appropriate for use with a keyboard.
Check it out!

2.5W X2
You are joking, aren't you..?
The speakers in your arranger have MUCH more power than that!

Diki, my use would be with a travel guitar or very small keyboard, with no internal speakers. It will be for throwing in the car or on the back of a motorcycle with the travel guitar.
No intent to ever use the thing for work, except maby to present ideas to a video client on sound scores in working sessions on the clients property. RCA inputs also allow presentation of working scores via various playback units.
Finally, I just want another toy!
Heard it at NAMM, and it's really pretty impressive if used for it's intended purpose.

Donny, in your second posted video, the yellow device is a Korg Kaossilator. We got one several weeks ago. Pretty neat toy...can't imagine ANY possible use except having fun.
I don't see anything wrong with that.
