Roland Cube amp vs Orange PPC108 amp?! | |
IssueX User ID: 14348632 United States 11/10/2012 09:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Roland is 15w (should be loud enough) and has the ability to adjust treble/bass. Quoting: Great white 23801507 The orange amp as far as I can tell has no dials for bass/treble. The orange amp is smaller and cheaper. Anyone got either? It is to run an mp3 player through, not a guitar. [link to www.ebay.com.au] [link to www.ebay.com.au] The roland is a great amp, good sound Also look at the Fender G-Dec 15 watt modeling amp I have both the cube and the fender...I like the Cube a little more for any kind of live playing, the fender for practice with a headphone or recording ymmv |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1280257 United States 11/10/2012 09:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No guitar amp will be right for playing mp3's through. Typically amps are voiced for the instrument to be played through it... Why dont you just buy a powered computer subwoofer system instead? It will be voiced for a wider frequency range than a guitar amp. Conversely...if you are determined to use something not suited for its application then get a cheap powered p.a. speaker [monitor] it will work as the amp would but have a bit wider frequency range more suited to playing mp3s... just a thought |

SO....since you posted this AGAIN new question comes to mind ...are you retarded??? I guess everyone who posts about religion, the Government, or pretty much everything else that should be common knowledge by now, is retarded then. Retards! Diff amps, and I already know that guitar amps sound fine when having mp3 players run through them. After info on the quality of the amps, not your opinions on how it would sound in an environment that you have no knowledge of. |

Typically they are a lot bigger than these amps. We cart enough gear around already, so smaller is better. And in a noisy environment, these amps sound fine when having mp3 players run through them. |
