Overview

Note: This amp was superseded by the Roland KC-220.

Roland claim that this 30 Watt amp was the world's first stereo keyboard amp that could be battery powered and I haven't seen anything to refute that.

It runs for up to 9 hours on 8 AA batteries - this includes rechargeable batteries.

It has 3 channels - the first has an XLR input for a microphone and the other two are line level inputs.

It also has reverb and chorus built in which can be controlled via an optional footswitch.

As you might expect, this amp was extremely popular with street performers with just about every type of instrument that can be amplified.
