Roland CUBE-10GX GUITAR AMPLIFIER

I've played music all my life, and am good at guitar and keyboards. I am somewhat obsessive about sound quality and specifically how an instrument reacts musically, though I also believe you can get a good sound out of lots of budget gear. I am a music therapist who was looking for a small light amp to use during sessions that could run the range from clean to metal. The battery powered amps I tried were nice (katana mini) but not quite loud enough. With reasonable expectations in mind (this isn't a big amp for playing live with a loud band, it is not a little boutique tube amp for using in the studio), this amp is everything I needed. This amp is absolutely loud enough for me. Gets over my noisy music groups no problem. Might keep up with a drummer in a practice setting if they aren't an idiot but I havent tried. It is sensitive at it's lowest settings like others say, but it's really not a big deal. This amp comes with an adapter, which is fine. I sometimes wish it had a fixed cable but it hasn't bothered me much. The bigger amps in this series do, if that matters to you. It is stupid light and a perfect size. And it seems really well built. And its really REALLY inexpensive. I use it on both keyboards and guitar. The effects are fine. I usually use a bit of echo or reverb. The app is kinda clumsy, but I used it exactly ONCE to put the models I want on it. Heres the big thing about the amp models... THEY SOUND AWESOME. With the three I have loaded (JC Clean, Tweed, Orange) it is hard to make a bad sound. Put all the eq's at noonish, don't over think it. I typically crank the gain up all the way and set the volume as needed. Heres what that gets me - the JC breaks up a bit but stays pretty clean and FAT. Like it has a compressor on but a good dynamic one. The tweed is very dynamic, and can get a good roots rock or blues thing going. Can get fairly hairy with hot pickups in a really nice way. Cleans up with volume or pick dynamic. The Orange - Forget the other metal settings - use the Orange Stack. Stick a pedal in front if you need more gain. But you probably dont, because this one chugs and chugs. It is really open and thick sounding, not fizzy like the rectifier seems to be for lots of people. On any of these settings, with the gain up high - this amp feels and sounds like it is opened up to it's "happy place" (if you use tube amps you know what I mean here) even at manageable volumes. It responds well to your playing and sounds nice and full. TLDR: This amp is good, its cheap, use the JC, Tweed, and Orange. Get it.

自宅での練習用のアンプとして使用なら大変使い勝手のいいアンプです。 サウンドを期待しすぎると少し失望するかもしれませんが、 なんと言ってもこの価格ですから、割り切って使えば重宝します。 因みに私はこのアンプのサウンド好きです。

Ho utilizzato Roland Cube per registrare brani con chitarra acustica. Suono limpido, volumi appropriati. Gli effetti presenti sono buoni. Ho acquistato questo modello, perché in precedenza utilizzavo il Roland Cube Micro.

Exactly what i needed

Having had a number of guitar amps in the past I've come back to the Roland Cube. Due to it's COSM modelling circuitry and 8 inch speaker in my opinion it's the best sounding guitar amplifier in its class. It can be used with electric guitars, electro acoustic guitars (acoustics) or bass guitars and it sounds, to my ears, much more beautiful and natural than more modern modelling amps with small 3 inch speakers. You can't beat the sound and feel of an 8 inch speaker moving air around. It's solid as a rock as well.
