Roland Micro CB-RX Battery Powered Bass Amplifier

A new prescription for bass tone power and portabilityMeet the new Micro Cubes — small, loud, proud, and in true stereo! These little amps overachieve with serious bombast in a small body. You won’t believe how much these little amps can deliver through their stereo power amps and newly developed custom speakers, four per RX.

New Speaker TechConsider them the ultimate compact amps with high-quality, powerful sound. The cutting-edge speakers used in the Micro Cube Bass RX are custom designed and built specially for these amps.

Battery DriveThe Micro Cube Bass RX can run on battery or AC power (AC adaptor included). But did you know that the Micro Cube Bass RX is a pioneer on the battery-operated bass amplifier market? At last, bass players have a rockin’ battery-operated amp solution!

Immersive Stereo FXThe Micro Cube Bass RX’s onboard stereo effects benefit from Roland’s decades of industry-leading R&D. Experience the amazing spatial depth and lush sound of the stereo Chorus and Reverb.

OutputsThe Phones/Recording output serves two purposes: Plug in a set of headphones and enjoy private practice with lush, stereo sound, or plug directly into a stereo mixer or recording device for accurate signal transfer directly from the Micro Cube Bass RX.

Stereo Power AmpsWith two specially made power amps and four speakers contained in each, the RX amp produces an immersive, stereo sound that must be heard to be believed. The true stereo engine also allows bass tones that defy the size of the cabinet.

Cosm Amps & Digital EffectsGuitarists and bassists have come to rely on Roland and Boss for the best effects in the world. The Micro Cube Bass RX benefit from this world-leading technology, offering eight built-in Cosm amps, six digital effects, three band EQ, and a chromatic tuner.

Rhythm GuideThe metronome is a music-student’s best friend, but that numbing "clank, clank, clank" can get irksome. That’s where the Micro Cube Bass RX’s Rhythm Guide comes in handy. It’s like having a drummer inside your amp. Choose from an assortment of groovin’ patterns to practice with. Improve your timing while having a more enjoyable musical experience, or just have fun jamming along to the beats.
