Re: [SUSPECTED SPAM] Re: battery-driven Mic PreAmp? - Roland MicroCube

["Krispen Hartung" <khartung@cableone.net>]

That's the best am VST I've used yet. I've been using it in my system for 
over 2 years, admist 15 other VST amp sims that didn't make the cut. It's 
a 
great little VST amp, with a lot of options. Tonight I was doing A/B tests 
between that VST and my MicrCube, and I favored the MicroCube again. I 
don't 
know what the Roland guys did inside that thing, but it they did something 
right. Too bad they don't make  a Roland MicroCube VST sim, or at least a 
foot pedal.
