Bundled by B&H for your convenience, the Roland CUBE Street EX Amplifier Kit gives singing performers useful tools for performing on the street. First, you get the Roland CUBE Street EX, a combo amplifier with two channels—one for your instrument, and one for your mic. To go with that, the BOSS VE-8 preamp, looper, and effects-unit is included, as is a dynamic microphone, a mic stand, a 1/4" instrument cable, and a microphone cable with XLR connections.
Roland CUBE Street EX Battery-Powered Stereo Amplifier
The CUBE Street EX from Roland is a compact, battery-powered portable amplifier/speaker combo that infuses the already popular mobile amp line with a performance upgrade that delivers extended projection, more channels, and enhanced versatility. Fifty watts of power and a stereo speaker system with dual woofers and tweeters provide clean sound for reaching larger crowds, while four independent channels offer connections for a variety of microphones and instruments.
Sound adjustment is available with separate EQ and reverb controls, and guitar tones can be dialed in easily with the onboard COSM amplifier simulations. Selectable power modes provide up to twenty hours of operation with eight AA batteries, while two units can be linked together for more sound coverage if needed. And with i-CUBE Link, an iPhone or iPad can be connected to play backing music and record the performances.
Boss VE-8 Acoustic Singer
The V-8 from BOSS is a preamp, an effects unit, and a USB interface all rolled into one. It's primarily intended for singer/songwriters looking for a multipurpose solution to handle their vocals and acoustic guitars in one device. The unit provides independent effect channels, as well as an 80-second phrase looper, expandable expression-pedal options, and a USB output for recording straight to a computer.
On-board effects allow you to apply not only reverb, delays, and other ambiences to your sound, but to harmonize with yourself in real time, depending on the preselected key of your song, or in a manner determined by the input of the guitar. On the guitar side, you can mitigate the quack of undersaddle pickups with an acoustic-resonance option, apply reverbs, delays, and pitch shifts, or simply tune your axe.
