The CUBE Street II boasts an impressive 8 hour battery life (10 hours with rechargeable Ni-MH batteries) so you can get a full working day of busking out of it. Need more time? You can switch the unit to ECO Mode (5 watts) and get up to 11 hours (14 hours with rechargeable Ni-MH batteries). The Cube Street II comes with a mains adapter but can also power from 8 AA batteries. Boss quotes a battery life of up to eight hours when using the full 10W of power, or a little longer if you flip on the Eco Mode switch, which throttles output down to 5W. In use, it’s surprisingly loud at full power, its two 6.5 inch speakers producing a crisp and direct middle and top end as well as a decent bass, especially if you customise the EQ settings to suit your performance. The upward-facing design helps direct sound at your audience rather than along the ground and also gives it a dual function as a wedge monitor when part of a larger PA setup.

Roland/ Boss has announced that the Cube series of amplifiers are to be rebranded with the Boss name, rather than Roland, and introduced the Boss Cube Street II. The Roland Cube has long been a staple of busking rigs, and this next version carries over a lot of the features that made it so, and introduces a few useful updates.

There’s virtual amp modelling built-in with nine amp types available split across acoustic and electric guitar, instrument, mic or clean categories to add even more depth to your guitar sound. Boss has clearly thought about the most important tools a street performer – particularly a guitarist – would need, and included them here.

The CUBE Street II offers an impressive vocal harmony, 3 band EQ and reverb on it’s Mic/Line channel so that you can achieve studio quality vocals.
