Shame on you for posting this. These are great and I'm supposedly over g.a.s.
:
Two different colors - White and New Red are on sale at $99.99 - this amp is normally $139.99 - I have one in a now discontinued color - Camo :
If you can take having a White or Red amp - this is a great bargin. These are great for just practicing and taking anywhere - I use mine everywhere in the house, and outdoors - like the deck, or up on a hill under a tree.
It has some really nice amp sounds, and some good effects. I think it is worth more than the $139 I paid for mine, and at $99 it is a steal. :

Carpe diem, brother, cause you don't know how many diems you have left to carpe.
I just went to GC and a/b'd the DA-5 and Roland Cube and liked the DA-5 better myself. It is probably on my birthday list, but that is not til October! Well, I will just wait and see if there is a deal around then.

The DA-5 has more models than the Microcube, adjustable effects and a bigger speaker, what's not to like? The attenuator works really well too and on 1/4 power the batteries last ages. If I still had one I'd buy a load of C size battery converters and use rechargeable AA's.
I mostly left mine on the AC15 (Blues 2 on the DA-5) with gain and tone at about 3 o'clock and used the guitar volume to go between clean and drive. It worked remarkably well for an amp the size of a shoebox.
