Re: Opinions on the Roland MicroCube and Cube 15....
I've got a microcube (and a 60, but you're not asking about that). I love it. With all the options that it's got that the 15 doesn't, I don't know why anyone would get the 15. It's not like the extra volume you get from the 15 is loud enough to do anything with, while the micro is still plenty loud enough to annoy the parents with.

Yes the microcube will amaze you at how it sounds for such a little bugger. I use it for practicing and rarely turn it up past a quarter of the way. Plus its cheap and it weighs about nothing so its extremely portable.

For a pure practice amp, I'd probably go with the Cube 15 'cause it can more easily swtich from clean to OD sounds.
My MicroCube is the better grab and go anywhere amp, whether it's to the back deck or off on a camping trip.

What do people think of Cube 30s here? I was considering getting one.

Re: Opinions on the Roland MicroCube and Cube 15....
I have a cube 30, it gets a strong "thumbs up" but like anything, it's not perfect.
The reverb is excellent, throws off a great sounding hall type reverb. I cant stand any of the other "effects", but that is not because of rolands take on it, I just dont like or use that stuff, but if you like that it sounds quality.
Out of the seven or so amp models, some hit the mark & some dont.
The mesa/boogie rectifier "r-fier" sounds absolutely incredible, if you crank this sucker it will literally bring down your house, it sounds full and gets loud as ****. This is by far the best amp model in my opinion.
The "metal stack" which is peavey, also is a winner. "Full stack", marshall, sounds a bit muddy and not as crisp as it should. "Tweed" is really borderline, it sounds too "solid stateish" to me, not authentic sounding. "Brit combo" vox, does a decent job, "Blackface" fender clean, can be kind of ear piercing, not great. "Acoustic" interesting but I'm not an acoustic kind of guy!
It has a seperate clean channel which is excellent, you can mix it with reverb or the other effects which is nice, it sounds great if you like clean.
I pretty much dial in the rfier and leave it there! Also, it is built like an absolute brick ****house, just a solid piece of equipment, probably why it's a bit more expensive than others in its category.

I'm another MicroCube user. I never get complaints from the family when practicing (could be I stopped singing along). And as Aleclee said it runs off 6 AA batteries so you can take it and play outdoors (park, campground, backyard). It sounds good for such a little amp also.

^the R-fier on the micro sounds much, much different than on the 30 and 60. Same with the Classic Stack actually, but that's better on the micro.
