Re: More Roland goodness

I'm working a Cube 30. I definitely feel a micro in my future for travel purposes. I need to try a 4 speaker version.

Bump...

I love these amps! I have a Cube 60 and a Street Cube I use as a practice amp!!! (although for the most part I don't leave the Classic or Black Panel settings on either. Every once in a while I'll go to tweed if I'm playin' a strat...)

Re: More Roland goodness

I actually move around the amps quite a bit;

KISS Alive - classic
KISS Alive II, most 80's metal - 5150
Dokken/Metallica - Recto
Zep - Tweed
Blues - Blackface
Classic rock - Brit combo, Tweed, or Classic

Really just depends on what I need and what sound I'm digging. So dang easy to get a good sound!

Re: More Roland goodness

Are you sure you were riffing and not just playing a chord progression?

No - definitely riffing.

Re: More Roland goodness

It is my only amp (Cube 30)... I'm satisfied by it, but I wish to get a nicer amp someday this year.

As I play more modern metal, I'm usually into the R-Fier amp. It delivers quite a lot of distortion... Tho I like the Black Panel with maxed Gain, really sounds like old rocky Crunch to me and the British Combo is for real fat Crunch. I like to play hendrix on this Brit Combo...

I got also an other question : As I never played many many amps, is it just me or the clean on this amp is quite beautiful?

Unless I'm mistaken, the clean setting is based on a Roland Jazz Chorus amp...(one of the best clean tones out there IMHO...)

Re: More Roland goodness

I love my Cube 30. There are plenty of great tones in there and it sounds a lot bigger than it looks. Great for late night practice with the Phones Out and Aux In. I've even taken mine to a couple of small room band practices when I've felt too lazy to move a Marshall and it is loud enough for playing with drums (probably depends on your drummer ), though I wouldn't gig with it unmiked. Roland really got it right with these amps IMO.

Re: More Roland goodness

I'll never stop whoring about my Cube 60. It's an incredible amp.

I like having the Black Panel model with a highish gain setting so it breaks up with a heavy hand, and then slam the preamp real hard with an overdrive set with max volume and no gain.

Sounds more Marshall than the Marshall mode! It's just beautiful, very defined and warmer than the Marshall mode. And if you turn the OD off, you get a manly dark clean tone. Just fantastic.

Try this tip with a guitar with low output pickups, and love it.
