Exactly what one should be expecting from Roland. Don't let the small size and wattage fool you, it punches well above what numbers suggest! A well designed and implemented portable amp. The cube series accent is there (ie metal grill) and its quality and features beat easily what one can find from others, well established brands in the game of guitar amps, offer at this price range. An exellent EQ that actually works, to sculpture your tone, 3 basic effects we all need at some point (delay, chorus, reverb) and 3 COSM amp presets (clean, crunch, lead), that you can change to your liking, using CUBE KIT app. and 10 more (at the moment) options to choose from, emulating iconic amps and even amp models for acoustic or bass guitar! Might not overpower a loud drummer, yet you will be heard next to any instument. It is way more than a begginer's practice amp. I got it for my kids, but it has earned a place in the living room, guess why.. of course to make sure it won't be misused :D Also it appeals to all of us acoustic/electric guitarists in the house so.. yes.
