Great portable boomer

I bring this with me nearly everywhere I go to turn up the volume from my iPhone, my MacBook, or my Tascam GB-10 trainer. It may not project as accurate as a studio monitor, but it has the full range you need to appreciate the bass and treble coming from a tiny package. Despite the full range of volume you get, it's portable and simple to use! Experiment with placement, such as placing it in the corner of a room or a few inches from a wall, and you get sound bigger than this portable speaker is.

2 things to improve on: 1) Consider that the charging plug should be a right angle plug, so the cable comes off the back not perpendicular to the surface such that it doesn't cause stress to the plug if it falls over. It doesn't usually fall over because it has a solid feeling weight, but this suggestion can add a few more years to the life of the speaker if there's less of a chance of stressing the charging socket and plug. 2) The available charging cradle should be included like a cradle is included in the SoundLink Mini package.

Overall simply an amazing portable package. Great purchase that I recommend!

Works with audio software on my Mac!

After playing Rocksmith for a while I found out it works with computers too. I tried plugging it into my Mac and it was recognized as an audio device. This game device turns out to be an even more useful tool!

3 years and still fast!

I've had my 15" MacBook Pro Retina (Early 2013) for more than 3 years now and it's still blazing fast and capable of handling my software for video editing, graphics, music, and 3D modelling.

Lightweight powerhouse

Great looks with all black hardware, lightweight guitar, high-output Rockfield Mafia pickups, great sustain, low action, and stays in tune. Over the years mine has beautifully aged to a warm finish. Mine is the first playable guitar I got since I got a serious with the guitar. Its playability just makes it a keeper. If you come across one, I recommend you give it a try!

The highlight of my current pedalboard

I have wanted this limited release since it was announced back when I was in high school. I was able to buy one before it sold out everywhere! This currently makes up my blues tone.

Versatile, easily portable, and powerful enough for a small jam or gig

I've had this for almost 5 years since I got mine in late 2011. The variety of tones you can get from this is amazing. Though it's small enough to bring on one hand with a guitar hardcase on the other hand, it is loud enough to play at small jam sessions and gigs. The Boss FS-6 footswitches are pricey but they work great with controlling this CUBE. I wish it has an extra line out port like the CUBE-80XL has. I The only thing that made me give this just a 4 star rating is that a couple of knobs broke over time. The delay/looper knob didn't work correctly over time, then after getting that fixed I eventually couldn't correctly select the lead channel using the mode selector knob. I am currently arranging to get some replacement knobs from FullCompass.com.

All in all this amp is simply a great portable package and it's a keeper!
