Something I just found out: Using battery power gives you only 20w, while using a power adapter you get the full 30w. A frequent critique of the of the KC 120 is the limited volume. I have one and I have seen that too. However, the other night I was playing with some pedals that offered a strong boost to the signal. The KC tolerated this well with little distortion other than an occasional clip on heavy bass notes and delivered a lot louder volume. That makes sense because the amp is built to tolerate 30w and, with batteries, it leaves you enough headroom to push the volume. I'd be willing to bet that using boost reduces the battery life, but louder is more good 😄 Try one at a store and see. I've also noticed that the batteries start delivering lower volumes all the way to being too drained. If you see the power lit dimming when you hit a note, it is time for new batteries. Fresh batteries are key.
I have had this amp for just about a year now and want to address a little flaw with it. One day when I plugged it into the wall, the system would not start up. I figured out the plug that you use for power has a large rubber stopper around the edge and it loosens up over time. I recommend removing it because it will eventually become a problem and you will think your amp is broken. In my opinion, I think the amp is a little weak for the money you put into it but at least it is clear.
This is very cool. I just might get this. I play keyboard as well as guitar. This would work very well for me. I went from playing a lot to occasionally. P.S. I have watched the staff from Music Schmidt demo Line6 amps. Despite the language barrier, I could get a general idea of what they were talking about. To my surprise a employee was bilingual and doing a review in english. This is the first time on here that I had seen a review of this product. I like it very much.
@jutup110 Weil Niederlandische menschen wie ich nicht so gut Deutsch können sprechen :P Just kidding though, I subscribed to this for the fact that they were in German :D

guys do you think a roland kc-100 would be enough to putkeyboard and vocals through it and be heard in a rock rehearsal?
Wondering the same thing. NO ONE seems to be able to answer this anywhere.
A rehearsal yes in a small room with polite musicians, not suitable however for live performances

It's muddy bass is not my idea of a keyboard amp, period. Get the bigger amp.
