can use the MICRO CUBE to perform just about anywhere, with up
to 20 hours of battery-powered playing time (with alkaline batteries;

Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) is Roland's innovative and
powerful sound modeling technology. COSM analyzes the many factors that make up the
original sound, such as the electrical and physical characteristics of the original, and then
produces a digital model that can reproduce the same sound.
The amp also accepts microphone input, allowing you to use the
MICRO CUBE as a portable microphone amp.
Onboard EFX section includes 4 types of digital effect, chorus,
flanger, phaser and tremolo.
Separate "DELAY" and "REVERB" effects provided in addition to the EFX.
Equipped with "REC OUT jack" convenient for use in recording
and for use as headphone out.

jack. This allows you to connect CD players and other backing devices.
