Comments about Roland Battery-Powered Keyboard Amplifier:
This thing is built to last and it does pretty good at driving sound for my GR-55 guitar synthesizer though I wish they would have put a bass sub out on it. I have a Roland AC-30 acoustic amp that has a sub out and I was thinking this would have one too. The AC-60 has a stereo XLR line out and the keyboard amp only has 1/4" stereo out, which means you have to have 2 direct boxes to run it to the house.
Comments about Roland Battery-Powered Keyboard Amplifier:
I own this as well as the new AC-33.Although it's marketed as a Keyboard amp, I use it as a full-range amp for guitars, vocals and keybaords. It's louder than I expected as Roland are notorious for claiming power outputs above what the amps can faithfully reproduce. I found the KC-150 and KC-350 well short of producing the output claimed by Roland without distortion, with only the KC-550 producing a decent level, but that puppy's heavy!That being said, this thing is not that loud. It's fine for practice or small Jams, cafe's, etc. I haven't had it distort on me and the only thing I haven't put through it is Bass. The AC-33 designed specifically for acoustic guitar mid-range type stuff distorts Bass quite noticeably when an electric guitar is played though it and cranked up (presumably caused largely by the limitations of the smaller enclosure).If you want a full-range amp, with usable volume, some mixing and portability thrown in, this thing does a nice job, with a very clean response. The lack of distortion when pushed is nice, cause sometimes you need all 30 Watts. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it if the features suit you.
Comments about Roland Battery-Powered Keyboard Amplifier:
The sound is very tinny especially with grand piano sounds. It's hard to find a balance between the bass and treble end. However - that said, that could be said of its "big brothers" too, for instance the 100W KC-350 doesn't sound that different at ALL. And all keyboardists and pianists know this - when you need to replicate those gorgeous Motif/Fantom/etc sounds live, you need a good PA system to do so. Roland says that it has a "very efficient 30 watts"...I would say that it distorts pretty easily, just as you would imagine - especially with bass heavy sounds like Rhodes el-p or B3 organ. As a personal monitor, it gets the job done. As an amp, you'll be struggling. Then again, you can connect it to a PA system and be just fine. And you won't break your back carrying it there.Roland has priced it in the same ballpark as the KC-350, and you might as well buy that, because at least you won't "run out of watts". It really only comes down to whether portability is a big issue.
