Both amps lack headroom, so they sound like they're squeezed to the end of the earth.
But regarding the microcube sounding like a synth.... well.... it's a fully solidstate amp with digital modelling, its not gonna get more digital than that  (runs away from the hordes of ppl who are extremely biased to the microcube) |

QUOTE(batuapi @ Nov 2 2008, 07:46 PM) Your kustom tube amp is not even a real tube amp. (That's assuming it's the kustom tube12a we're talking about). Now now, be nice. Don't have to start a firefight out of it. It's just a 12ax7 at the preamp section and your power amp is still solid state. You talk about digital sounding tune but you're a beginner my goodness. How would a beginner differentiate true tube tone from a digital sounding one? Jeeezzz... are you sure you're not biased and judging based on your eyes and not your ears? Perhaps you don't know how to play with the cube's settings. You don't even know what they call it on the microcube and you said the micro sounds digital. I am wondering if you've even really tried playing with a real microcube before. My guess is you've not and you try to sound like a tube snob but the truth is you don't even have a real tube amp to make enough of that comparison between the microcube and the kustom 'tube12a' fake tube amp.  While you may be right about many parts, I have to agree that the Microcube is can get extremely digital, but thats just me. =p But I haven't had the privilege to play with a Microcub for more than an hour (ppl chase me out of shop already), but during that period, most of the sounds were lacking warmth. But that would be too much to ask for, for the 380 MYR you'd be paying. It does its job and it does it well. Having said that, I couldn't stand even 5 minutes with the tube12a. Way too harsh sounding, I left after strumming 3-5 chords, with that fella having a pissed look on his face, with this expression "wtfudge? " |
