say, vox's DA5 or roland's microcube? they seems the same for me. i mean, what are thier pro and con? which you guys recommended? i mostly play pop and rock n roll. pop rock and such

i've never tried the da5, but the microcube kicks so much ass i dont need my distortion pedal anymore. just picked one up an hour ago

If you're more into classic rock stuff, the DA5 to me has a much warmer tone then the microcube. It has that nice Marshall-esque crunch which to me the Microcube doesn't nail that well. And the cleans area also much nicer.

BUT

For metal and hard rock stuff, the Microcube definitely has much more crunch and the distortion like SweetTooth said, is totally wicked.

for microcube's distortion, do u get to choose when it goes distort?

yeah, just flip the dial
it has built in effects like chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, delay and reverb and 6 different modules you can mess with

flip the dial? which dial?

the one with Acoustic, JC clean, black panel, brit combo, classic stack and r fier.

jc clean and black panel are clean, while the rest are distorted. acoustic is acoustic

I used to have the same dilemma as you do, in the end I pick up the microcube just because of the price. It's a couple hundred cheaper!

My friend's playing a Microcube... and it's awesome... get it.

I heard ibanez toneblaster TBX65R is not bad too. I went to a shop and the guy demoed it to me, the amp is very heavy when overdriven.

And it's rm 1000 and below.

It's not practice amp level, possibly gig material already.

If the DA5 is almost 1k, maybe can consider TBX65R.

i have decided the microcube. perhaps more versatile and cheaper? thou, i love da5's colour. and i can get microcube sooner

i wish i lived in an area that has two of the amps together in one shop. ck doesnt hav it.

microcube user here... im very satisfied with the dist... go get it..

anybody tried Beta aiwin cube before ?

RM400 with 4 band EQ

i wish the microcube had a 3 band EQ... it would be the perfect practice amp
