Great amp

I am replacing a 100watt Crate amp (which weighs 70lb.) with this smaller, more efficient amp. I use it for two keyboards with back-up tracks. I play small venues--the KC-110 is perfect for me.

Excellent for Key or Guitar Synths in Small Venues or Rehearsals

Lots of clean headroom makes the 30 watts very efficient. Synths sound very good. Don't like lack of separate effects control for the 3 channels! If you use reverb or chorus it's on all 3. This means backing tracks would have unwanted effects. You'd need separate reverb on your instrument or a pedal. Backing tracks sound a bit boxy but clear and present. I was planning on using all 3 channels, one for digital audio, one for guitar synth and one for guitar. This Amp doesn't do well with electric guitar. Sounds great with the synth. I've used it for my stereo guitar-synth with a nice guitar amp on the guitar. Nice. It's loud enough for stage volume in that configuration. If you're going out the house mains you could play large venues. I mean sound-man stage volumes. No huge stacks blasting away that they can't control and hate! It would work fine playing outside on batteries. Probably better than many battery PA systems, stereo and only 16 lbs. The drop to 20 watts is still loud enough to be heard if you're out there busking. Keys, mics, acoustic guitar would all do well, singer songwriters would get good use in cafe' gigs. Punches reasonably well above it's weight.

Roland KC 110

I have owned it for a month and mainly used it for practicing on my MOXF yamaha. I do run small rehearsals with a 3 piece band including percussion and guitars. This amp is an upgrade from my previous street cube since it gives me a fuller range (much better bass response).

It is louder but I have not used it outdoors so I cannot crank it up all the way. I connect up to 3 inputs when rehearsing (mic, keys, acoustic guitar) and it all sounds good! I even use it to practice my bass and electric guitar chops and it sounds full and nice (the guitar tends to sound jazzy). The main disadvantage so far is that the mic channel does not have its own EQ and processing effects (compare to the Street Cube). Overall it was a great buy for 250 dollars! I really recommend it!
