With its tough ABS injection-molded monitor-like wedge design and impressive battery life the Boss Cube Street II is built to project high-quality stereo sound in virtually any location. Rated at 10 watts total (or 5 watts in battery-friendly Eco mode) it can either run on eight AA batteries or the included AC mains adaptor. Featuring two channels and loaded with effects (including vocal effects) it can easily cut down on the amount of gear needed. Great news if you don't yet have your own team of roadies!
While the Guitar/Mic channel boasts nine different guitar amp types and the Mic/Instrument channel features a three-mode harmony control, both of the unit’s channels include separate volume, three-band EQ and reverb. Along with a 45-second stereo looper Boss have cleverly condensed the needs of the solo performer into one box weighing well under ten pounds (about the same weight as a Les Paul).
Touted as a “grab-and-go PA for everyone” Boss’ new Cube Street II amp has been designed for the musician on the move. Equipped with high-quality playback functionality, including auxiliary input and wireless Bluetooth connectivity, it serves as the ultimate portable toolkit for anything from presentations and public speaking to karaoke and street entertainment. Plus, via the Cube Street II’s i-CUBE Link and USB users can record and livestream their audio, opening up even more possibilities for the modern guitarist.
With high-tech compatibility in mind, the Cube Street II pairs up with Boss’ Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor (BT-DUAL) meaning you can use a smartphone or tablet to communicate wirelessly with the amp. In addition to being able to control backing tracks, the free CUBE Street II Editor app allows more detailed adjustment of the unit’s effects, looper, routing, and footswitch options.
