Roland Blues Cube Stage Solid-State Combo

Performance-ready 60W combo amplifier for electric guitar from Blues Cube series that combines genuine tube sound and response with modern reliability and easy portability. Thanks to Roland’s Tube Logic, it delivers warm, bouncy, responsive and dynamic sound. Dramatically evolved from the first-generation sound of the original Blues Cube amps from the ’90s, today’s Tube Logic accurately provides the complex, highly interactive behaviour of classic tube designs in meticulous detail, providing the magical “it” factor that takes a guitar amp from a simple sound system to a living, breathing musical instrument. Ready for live playing, combo is equipped with 60 W of power, plus a custom 12” speaker that has been specially designed for maximum tonal response with Tube Logic. The open-back cabinet features poplar plywood construction, which offers acoustically vibrant tone for solo or group performances. The combo has two independent channels – one voiced for cleaner tones, and the other for crunch. Each channel has its own Boost and Tone switches to shape the character. The Clean channel’s single volume control dials in natural tube fullness and bite as the volume is cranked, while the Crunch channel’s variable gain control provides a range of grit flavours from mild to aggressive. With the press of a switch, the unique Dual Tone mode allows for blending both channels together for an endless array of rich tones. Thanks to the Tube Logic technology, the combo authentically delivers the complex distortion characteristics of output tubes and their interaction with the output transformer, with the sound getting richer and the feel becoming more dynamically responsive as the overall volume is increased. But with the combo’s variable Power Control, user can enjoy this musical, cranked-up tone while matching the volume to any situation, from recording to rehearsals to nightclub gigs and beyond. With its modern approach, the unit eliminates the big drawbacks found in all tube amps powerful enough for stage playing – they are extremely heavy, prone to damage through vibration, and require frequent tube replacement and other costly maintenance to keep them going strong. In contrast, this model is basically maintenance-free, and has been carefully designed to reduce weight in every area that does not affect the tone. The combo features onboard reverb, and the rear panel is equipped with a footswitch jack for remote switching of channel selection and Dual Tone mode. And with the USB jack, it is simple to capture the rich tones directly into any computer recording applications. Dimensions: 513 x 244 x 465 mm. Weight: 14 kg.
