The Roland Spirit 30 is a guitar amp that was made in Japan in 1981. A bass model was included in the series. It has one 12-inch speaker and was introduced to the market as an entry-level model. At 13.6 Kilogram, this heavy-duty amp delivers a more powerful sound than most solid-state amps of its size. Spirit 30 amplifiers and others in this series are no longer made by Roland, but the recent "Cube" series of Roland amplifiers offers a similar product with updated technology.

Size and Weight

The Roland Spirit 30 has a 12-inch, heavy-duty Roland transducer speaker. The amp is approximately 18 inches tall and weighs 13.6 Kilogram. It is a solid state and not a tube amp. The cloth grill gives it a more vintage look than an amp from the early 1980s, resembling a classic Vox or Fender amp with a tweed grill.

Jacks

In addition to the high and low input jacks, the Roland Spirit 30 amp series includes a headphone jack and a footswitch jack for a reverb pedal. Because the amp was made in the 1980s and is likely to be sold used, the footswitch may not be included with most models for sale.
