@gorkamorka86

Thanks man!

[NYoumans]

sounds great... just got a cube street... if I may ask, what settings do you use when playing harp on it?

[HakanEhn]

@NYoumans

Thank you! I honestly don't remember. But since you just one yourself you will see how easy it is to find the right settings for you in that particular situation.

I loved that! I'm thinking of getting one of the Roland battery powered amps for playing harp on the street. I love the tone you get through the street cube. Do you have any experience with the Mobile Cube too? I'd be playing through a digitech rp155.

I have a pignose 7-100, but it ONLY does dirty.

I have used microcube and i like it. Haven't heard of mobilecube
