I went to the GC in San Bernardino today. Tried out the Micro Cube and the Vox DA5. I was a little distracted by the Tele with the crappy strings on it they gave me to audition with. However, I plugged into the Roland and was very impressed with the volume coming out of that little 5" speaker. The delay was very nice. But, no compressor. The "crunch" sounds were pretty good also.

I plugged into the Vox and thought it equally performed as well. Then I noticed the power switch was on the lowest setting. Flipped it to 5w and it really cranked up the volume. Long story short, with more amps and more effects to choose from PLUS the compressor on the VOX, is chose the Vox.

I thought it "looked" more like an amp than the Roland and I got it for a buck twenty-five. Truth be known, I would have probably been happy with either one, not considering the compressor. I believe they are both really good little practice amps. I just think the features on the Vox out-do the Roland.

I'll really put it through the "motions" later.
