Roland CUBE 60: What a great guitar amp!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 ноя 2020
- I've always been very specific about Version 2 of Line 6's SPIDER series being my favorite amp in the price range that's reachable for mere mortals such as I. But I've found a new champion, equal in power, broader in tone-scape, and more technically versatile.

I’ve have that amp since 2008 and still use it from time to time, love the JC Clean channel, great video!
Thanks JN :)
I have this amp. Love it very versatile. Very loud for its size, image how loud it would be used with an extension speaker off its built in speaker output. For the type of music I do (80s new wave) it’s ideal.
I have this amp from a long time ago - It's a great amp!
I have Roland cube 60 guitar amplifier since 1985, I bought when I was working in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Very cool!
The Roland Cube amps are great, especially the portable battery powered ones. I had a micro cube and a entry level Fender strat. I forgot what you call those. I gave it to my young nephew's daughter, since she wanted to learn guitar. Had a few other cubes, but sold them. I still have my cube mobile. So versatile. I just ordered my Go:Keys yesterday, I might be abke to pick it ip on Monday from a local music store. 👍
Lots of great gear there. I really loved this Cube 60, it was a bit special imho
Gearfacts, I bought one of these in 1978, it is Orange, Different than the one you have here i am sure the components inside are different, Miine sounds like the day i bought it, I plug it into my 1970 Marshall cab with 8 x 10 inch speakers , it sounds great, thanks for the video here, Cousin Figel
Cool info, thanks for watching :)
I just got one of these. I had a micro cube that I was mainly just using for effects and then running into a PA. But the 60 watt version packs a much greater punch and I'm somewhat of an amplifier novice. So I'm trying to figure out just how to use this lil bugger. So thanks for your video.
And thanks to you for watching :)
How do you run the micro cube into a PA? Microphone?
violin there's a "line out" in the back. I just run an instrument cable from there into the PA. And presto, you have electric sound.
I now actually have a larger cube amp I play. I do the same thing except the amp now retains it's sound. So I sort of use the amp as my guitar monitor, while the main concert sound is pushed out of the PA. We just played a couple nights ago and it sounded great.
@@TheRayfield77 oh you are probably talking about the Cube RX, the one with 4 speakers? I thought you were talking about the mini practice micro cube, that doesn't have a line out. Thanks for the reply!
@@hermespadilla my old mini cube did have a line out
I like mine. I have been wanting to mod it by putting a Vintage 30 Speaker in it though.
I think experiments like that are very worthwhile :)
any chance another video and showing us AMP settings /positions. and when you said sounded good low volume.
how ??....did you achieve this .. as a bedroom player for practicing I cannot crank up like in our practice room and its just TOO lound even on 1 ....
Ah I don't have this amp anymore sorry man. I think it had the 'power squeezer' control, this is the one that will give you the strong tone at low volume levels.
@@gearfacts Thanks my friend I was having a good "play " with the knobs and its very sensitive. ...goes from reasonably quiet, to "Too Loud " for bedroom / living room very easily... not a problem... appreciate the time you tool to reply .. thanks. ..
i have a marshal valvestate v40 and i only play at home, will this be a side grade ?
In my opinion it'd be an upgrade, but they're very different packages so make sure you do a test drive first to see if it really is what you want
@@gearfacts 10 months later i recoved a "lost at home" micro cube and was astonished by the quality of the sound. I remembered a friend had a cube 60 sitting in a garage so i gave it a try and it took 5 minutes to jump on it. I now own one :)
@@oneminutefixed5003 love the 60!
How this amp plays at low volume for practice?
I thought it sounded great.
But where tf do I Buy it?? I cant find it
Second hand is the only way, I think
I use the 80 watt version with looper and more amp models it does the job and versatile and loud.
I've seen the 80 around, it looks magnificent!
I have the AC60, best amp I own. I like all Roland products.
Yeah Roland is generally good quality stuff :)
didn't convince me .. seems like everyone was distortion ... I am looking for a good clean jazz sound .. let me know if you know of such an amp
Hmm clean sounds have always kind of mystified me, I think I just don't have enough class to truly appreciate it! I'd definitely look into anything made by Nux though, I've been consistently impressed with their products and the cost is always pretty low.
@@gearfacts no worries. I play acoustic some and new to electric and always enjoy clean of sorts. I could imagine a little here or there different effects. I want to learn and do better before advancing to effects. I like musical “statements” … whatever that means, something I am not too good at “yet”. Later
@davidpatrick1813 The gain on the modelling side of the amp was turned up here so the models
will sound quite distorted, some players will want that. I have the same Cube 60 and on the clean JC
channel the amp is really, really clean, using the tone controls you can most definitely get some great
jazz tones. With the gain lowered on the 'Blackface' model' I can get good sparkling Fender tones and
this is where I live most of the time. This amp can do a lot and is versatile so I would definitely check
out some other RUclips reviews before writing this one off. Best wishes.
Your favorite amp is the L6 Spyder? 😂
I did like it but it's probably not my favourite. It depends on the person though. For the way I play - amateur, infrequent, alone - I think my favourite would be the Fender GT40.
could you let me in on the secret of the curious box like a synth ?
Also this is in no way a portable amp ?
I think the answers no to that...there's the newish 50w cube street ex...pricey or this second hand under 200 ...hmmm
I imagine that this has a lot better sound quality?
But it's not for globe trotting or even local buskers ?
I THINK I already know the answers.
1) it's a funny little synth
2) it's better quality of sound?
2b) and possibly variety of effects and tones ?
3) it's NOT mobile for outdoor playing
it can't easily be adapted for any battery driven phenomenon.
It's a very good gigging amp? and home recording ?
any proper studio recording?
It's not flight friendly.
or bicycle pannier friendly?
is the 500 quid plus roland.50w cube street ex
The best all round in /out slightly compromised on sound quality amp available for guitar voice keys etc?
OR have you a well kept secret you're just about to tell us?
I hardly know you but I'm convinced you're not the lying kind ...where amps are concerned...perhaps not your love life but that's another website entirely.
What I'm trying to say is ..
I think I definitely might trust your superior knowledge and experience on guitar amps??!!
So...come along ..do tell !!
por favor...do me a favour.
gawd bless yer...
I'd describe myself as the 'not very fussy' kind. My main criteria is "do I like having it in my presence?" and anything else good is just a bonus. So am I a reliable guide? Not sure. Just a chilled out one I guess. To answer y the question you asked that has an answer I like discussing: The little black synth is a Roland PMA5, the only device I bought in the 90's that I still have. Lerv it.
