I got my theremin a couple days ago and have been enjoying it a lot. It beats the three radios as I now have volume control and it stays in tune. I am defintely a natural at this, it doesn't take me much practice on a song before I get it perfect, I have played guitar, keys(piano, synth, harmonium), and bass and none of them came as easily as the theremin. I seriously beleve in the fact that you don't choose your instruments, they choose you and you know when you found the rite one. I discovered the theremin about a year and a half ago and just fell in love with the sound, the energy, somehow I just knew it was my instrument. Now I have a B3 deluxe and a roland cube street amplifier. Sounds very good. I tried the moog amp, I wasn't impressed. My amp is only 5w of power, 2.5 per speaker on 2 6.5" speakers... and well how is it possible for 5 measly lil flea watts to be THAT LOUD, this thing will blow your ears off. My feance helped me to get my theremin and I just can't put into words how much I appreceate that and how happy I am to have found my intrument.
I see a lot on here about the roland micro cube, I haven't tried that one but I can surely say the cube street is a HUGE upgrade, it gets very loud and dosnt fart out on the low notes. The battery life is FANTASTIC! I have been running on the same set of ni-mh rechargables for 3 days now all day playing theremin and I use the amp as a boombox too, the speakers on it sound sooo good using the mp3 input, I hear things in my music that I never knew was there. Out of the box it don't sound that good at first, but after the speakers broke in this is better sound than my stereo(without all that loud abnoxious booming bass). The on board effects and amp sim is quite good, especially the delays and reverb. The overdrive(r-fier setting on the amp sim) sounds interesting on a theremin, sounds almost like a violin thru a fuzz box. I prefer the clean sound though(inst or jc-clean setting), was messing around with the settings yesterday and wanted to see what a lil or a lot of overdrive did to the sound of theremin. The sound with my theremin and music on this amp is full, warm, lively and not harsh, it a tube like sound from a solid state amp. Only class-D ss amps have that sound. I have seen a lot on here about people looking for a good amp for there theremin so I figured my lil review here of my amp would help somebody.
