I tried this bass combo out three days ago, with a view to buying it , if it could reach an acceptable output level of volume , without distortion, alas my fears were realised , it COULD NOT, get past half volume without distortion , this was on its cleanest setting , I am a massive Roland bass gear fan , and for once I felt that I’ve been listening to the hype and spin used in selling this product , my Roland CUBE STREET (5watts) is supposed to be half power output of this new guy on the block , not in my opinion , it was the other way round , very disappointed ( first for a Roland product ) I left the store empty handed , I’ll think I’ll wait a while longer now !
