I use a Line 6 Micro Spider though I KNOW the micro cube is immensely popular amongst CBGers. I don't gig, being a lowly ham-fisted learner, but I'd be happy to busk with it if I were better at playing and circumstance allowed it. Why not? Loads will scoff and laugh at CBGs themselves without bring amps into the mix. Let 'em scoff then blow their minds with the music you produce.
Besides, doesn't the micro cube have a line out to a PA facility so you can buffer it and make the mixing guy's job easier by shaping your own tone?
Not sure if this works but does the line out cut off allow you to use a single headphone ear piece so you can still hear it?
Behind every wall of Marshall amps is a 65 Deluxe Reverb
Mic the amp into the PA system and you are fine, Seasick Steve does that all the time.
Line Out jack (XLR) will not mute the speaker, a headphone jack (1/4 in) will, but I've piped the headphone jack of a lot of small amps to my PA and with house mains and stage monitors its been golden.
I gigged in a rock band with a small amp. My amp sat on one side of the drummer. With a full Marshal stack on the other. My amp was a blast to set up. And very easy to travel with. And when playing live was just as easy to put a mic in front of as any drum or singer. Gig away my friend!
Just back from Glastonbury...yes, that Glastonbury, 175 000 people, 100 stages etc. We were demoing guitars with a Sessionette 75 watt amp for one guitar, and for another rig we used a Roland MicroCube with the line out into our PA and it worked just fine. We even used a 1/4 watt cigar box amp lined-out into the PA and it was cool. The people who might scoff at such an idea have obviously never played proper gigs and won't have had to improvise stuff on the road in this sort of way. If we can do that outdoors at a festival like Glastonbury, you can do it anywhere.

Our 2nd Glasto...great weather (but TOO hot!) and takings up 40%. I got to play somewhere else as well as a my stand! I got an invite to perform at the John Peel Stage hospitality suite...so I didn't refuse!
