I just purchased the 80 watt Cube. It quickly put my Mesa Nomad to shame!! No more heavy head and cabinet to lug out to gigs. My bandmates cannot believe the tones that are emanating from this little wonder. It has enhanced my Gibson 335 and SRV Strat to unbelievable quality levels!! So impressed that I returned and bought my brother the 40 watt. Super quality and performance at such a reasonable price. (I play multiple gendres and the Roland Cube 80 meets all my needs) I am a convert!!
I have this amp! Playing pro for over 30 years classic rock This amp is stunning ! and built like a German Tank!
hi Jimi, I've the same amp, and the GA FC (footswitch) ... can I add a Ditto Looper pedal to the footswitch as an end pedal? tia :)
I have a thought to sell my Roland Cube 40GX because i wanted to buy another small gigable amp. But after i watched this video 10×/12×, i'm still keeping my lovely Cube 40GX amp.
my future
GD! whoever was playing that guitar at the end was fantastic.
I don't play electric guitar any more but this is the only amp you really need. Don't make the mistake I did when young and immature and buy a fucking Marshall stack (shit and heavy) - unless you are touring and have your own roadies - even then...
that is the way to demo a product. not a bunch of jerks in a music shop trying to be funny. well done
i agree totally, too many idiots on youtube
Andert......s
Nicely done guys, can't wait to try one out in person.
From my bedroom to small gigs, not lie to any 1 here. Yes the CUBE is one of my weapon of choice, while Roland stomp boxes with temptating colors are always the main ammo for my primary (guitar). I use CUBE 15X, and sometimes The JC120 ( this is from around 80's, when my uncle bought this one and believe it or not, this amp is still workin and workin and workin while me and my uncle oftenly abuse it ).
This CUBE can b loud as hell without punishing the tone from the source. I'm very satisfy with Roland's products. But I hope, I do hope a lot that the newest GX or CUBE series will give us more :
1. "Tube-Warm" amp sound, just like a Roland Blues Cube. ( what if using a real 12AX7 for preamp )
2. Maybe adding the presence knob wouldn't b a sin, just for the edge n the transparency, I need that to adjust it directly from the preamp. I love the OD sound & modern hi-gain from the preamp of CUBE... Hell yeah \m/
3. Why only the micro CUBE have more colors? It would b fun if the GX40 & GX80 have more patterns, colors, or even graphical.
FX features are awesome, keep this channel for the next product and untill the end of the days.
Thank you so much Roland and keep up the good work.
this sounds awesome
I own one and I love the tones they are amazing! And for you guys who want a really warm clean sound use your solo as your clean with black panel at not even half way and it gives a clean tone that's so amazing and then use your lead button as your solo and the foot switch is WORTH every penny helps on a lot of songs like More and a Feeling by Boston.
Interesting... thanks 👍
Perfect. Thanks for sharing!
AWESOME VIDEO!!!!
great amps.
That is the way to demo an amp.
parabéns para a roland pelo perfeito amp para guitarras parabéns mesmo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Men..I don't have that amp!!!
But... Roland..is the beautiful word for... amps.... xxxaaa
In my experience the volume control is usually quite stable on Solid State amps
Damn that's cool
Have the 40gx. The classic and metal stack are not great at civilised levels...below 12 o clock. JC is brilliant. And the rectifier setting is great stuff. There is s lack of brightness in some of the distorted settings that can't be dialled out. That said, these problems vanish at high volume...but as a household practice amp its a shame. No longer made so often available for 150 euros or so.
Hey, that’s me!
Yes, removing looper is a fail.
No, now it has independent volume on each channel AND master volume. So Master is now like settable power squeezer.
I'd like to change my 20XL on 40 XL or 40GX.
Just bought mine!!
Awesome as fuck!
what song did u play while testing r-fier stack? ( 3:07 )
Gut gemacht!!!! Leider fehlen der Boxenausgang, der Looper und Speicher pro Simulation es müßten mindestens 10 Speicher da sein für Britich Combo, DLX Combo etc jeweils ein Speicher um wenigstens den Grundsound zu speichern, das gab es alles schon bei den anderen Modellen. Ein Fußschalter gehört dazu, nicht nochmal 105.- Euro extra.
Anyone know the name of the second harmony? The one with chorus on it?
cool!
Hi everyone, i have an acoustic guitar yamaha cpx700II, and i am thinking to buy an amp i saw this one cube 40gx and got really interested. Just want to know if it makes any difference playing an acoustic guitar on a electric guitar amp. Is this a good choice for me?
Thanks
love this amp.unfortunately dont have looper like xl model.
You have to invest in the pedals it's not fun expensive worth it though your lead and your solo channels are definitely worth of Dale boost him as a pail something filter inside a pill with help
What footswitch are you using? Thanks, Jim
I want to know if the foot switch is generic or is especific for de amp?? Thanks
Can you use a GX 40 record out as a effects Loop
Whats the different between 80 and 40..any additional feature?
La verdad que muy buen amplificador. Yo tengo el roland cube 40 xl y es muy bueno. Pero este... si, le gana
El comentario en español despistado. Usted se ha ganado el primer lugar.
@@Estuardino71 despistado por que?
@@alexgutierrez5685 Bueno, decime a quien iva dirigido?
@@Estuardino71 solamente fue un comentario no sabia que tenia que pedirte permiso para comentar algo genio
@@alexgutierrez5685 Ok, have a good life.
Why is the IOS app not updated, Can’t use it in the New IOS 11 😳
Musics played?
Or is it possible to loop with the iphone app?
Do i can use FS 6 dual foot switch?
I have a few questions about this amp. I currently use a Peavey Vypyr Tube 60 and am looking for something new:
-How does it compare as a cheaper alternative to the JC-120? (that's my dream amp, but I'm a broke college student)
-Is it loud enough for gigging? I need something that can match the volume of an unmic'ed acoustic drum kit.
-I play a Fender Classic Player Jazzmaster with lots of clean delays and reverbs (similar to The Edge, Slowdive, The Cure, The Smiths, Mogwai, etc). How well would this amp work for that kind of playing? I'm hearing some really decent cleans from this demo video.
Thanks in advance to whoever answers, I'm not the biggest tech-head out there so any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
HaloOasis i use this on gigs, it is universal for all music types from my experience, it's portable too which makes it so much better.
Can the 40GX make loops?
It sounds great........This model is to loud to a bedroom practice? If I turn low the master it still maintains good distortions and effects?
Yes! it can be all the way down on volume and still deliver the distortions. I've had one for 10 years now and I still use it for practice and gigs
@@6stringstorulethemall967 I've already bought a used one, footswitch GA-FC included .....and it's amazing. Thx for answering me.
hi, friend. I have the same amp it really sounds great. Could you tell me the model of the footswitch? greetings from Mexico.
I suppose this amp does not have chromatic tuner? I mean, the
manufacturer claims that after holding the tuner button it becomes
chromatic, but how can I tune down to drop c or drop a with no led
indicating which note i am playing?
Each turn of the dial is for a different note - when it is green then that note is tuned and you turn the dial for the next string.
40 GX Footswitch dead?
Dear All, Has anybody used/tested his/her 40GX's FS-5U input with a stereo cable? My problem: if I momentary shortage the Sleeves and the Ring NOTHING happens, meanwhile if I momentary shortage Sleeves and Tip it switches nicely between the JC Clean and the Lead channels. What can be the problem? The amp is brand new.
vypyr 30 or the 40gx?
my cube 40gx has a vibration kind of crackly sounding after i let a single note sustain anyone know what i'm talking about and any help maybe? Cause it didn't seem like that some time ago
MaybeDolphin may be your cable
Sounds like you have a crack speaker I would check there first
what is the title of the last song? guitar backing and solo is awesome!!!!!
has anybody known this song?? start at 05:00
Probably just the dude playing the guitar , with no song particular even in mind . I have been a guitarist for over 40 years and it happens to me a lot , I'll play something and someone will say " what is that ? " and I'll say " you tell me " lol
what is the name of the second amp setting? its fucken awesome, someone please!
The names of the settings appear in the top left. The second (at 0:37) is "Black Panel". I tried this amp. It's simply amazing ! (and I'm not working for this brand).
bit short sighted of them to only do ios and not android, so this was off my list
Not enough parameter control of the effects for me. Sounds good, but you can't get real in depth when dialing in your reverb delay phaser etc.
If you want that check out the vox v20x
3:07 yes, that's what all bands i listen to sound like lol
why when people try to do metal examples on amp demos do the old chug chug weee
Hey there 😊
At 4:55 ... there is a mobile app..
Can we use it.. with cube 30 X?
If not.. what is the solution.. for playing.. with play back?
Sorry I'm semi begginer....
I have a Cube 30 X. I don't think it works with apps, just .mp3 backing tracks from .mp3 players and smartphones through the Aux jack. The app functionality came on the later XL (?) and GX model Cubes.
Thank you Cayce..I got it..💕
Forgot to mention that the app they work with supposedly only comes on iOS devices and not Androids.
no speaker out on rear i am told, bad move, needs a fuller sound. i have a 60 cube on a 4 by 12 stack and sounds great but these effects are way better now
what different between model cube 80XL and cube 80GX?
The Xl had a built in looper... 80 seconds of loop time.
How much is this amp worth???
Probably should keep the guitar the same but like.. Since it wasn't really a test, I guess it don't matter..
The 80GX is just a better sounding amplifier :)
It looks like they've taken out the looper, bad decision. Despite that the new features look nice, I just hope that there is an option to turn on the tuner from the footswitch.
ohhhhhhhhh
what epiphone model is that? thanks
0:07 is a Les Paul Custom, but i think is a Gibson, not Epiphone.
Does the foot switch control, come with the amp?
No and it is fucking expensive
+Metalci Kiz Yeah, I think it's something like 100$ :/
I used a GX 40. Is the cost of the amp and all the pedals I use with Looper $500... I'm very happy with it it's a lot of fun and a lot to learn
they decided to remove the looper and the power squeezer button too really bad decision as u said
what surf song was that at 0:38?
***** please if u find out tell me
SURF RIDER
Thank you so much
, if you have any suggestions for someone that's a using a GX 40 and a man has a wide selection of guitars tones have all kinds of stuff did you talk to me about working for you to tell me what I'm always trying to do that I got some tricks all really too if I can talk to you
atos suarane cuk
What footswitch is being used here?
+dionisiogdrb Roland GA-FC Foot Controller.
Rafael Dewes thanks
+dionisiogdrb you're welcome
+Rafael Dewes Does it come with the amp?
Nop
Co to za model footswitcha??? Proszę może ktoś wie.
Byszwa87 GA-FC Foot Controller but I think BOSS FS-5U or FS-6 footswitches can be used also.GA-FC Foot Controller, ale myślę, że BOSS FS-5U, FS-6 nożne mogą być używane również. Google Translate.
Can we save the tone??
Sandeep Thapa I thinks so with the memory button
Yeah, there's a way to save a tone. I haven't figured it out because I can't be bothered. :^)
You should check the manual.
Would the CUBE-40GX be too loud for home practice amp? Can the volume be turned low enough?
No it's not a matter fact it's a good option if you have a bigger room to use hope that helps
I can use headphones on this amp? :D
Sure
No
Is good to play metal??
,, you can and get a decent tone you have to turn the meds almost all the way down let me do that set your delay to the right setting and then you will have the kind of bar that you may want
kcete!!!!!!!!!!eu tenho um desses,e eu ia vender más graças a DEUS não vendi.....kkkkkk
Is this a tube or solid
Class AA be solid state
Does anybody know the songs from 1:56 and 2:18?
fmm chiar credeam ca a raspuns cineva=))
It sounds a lot like john mayers who do you think i was
I don't have same sound with my Les paul and my Cube 20 ...
have you tried burt weedons guitar in a week booklet, very good, might help ya :)
40gx is my amp
Подарите мне его)
I had a 40GX and it pissed me off so bad i ended up just giving it to my son , couldn't program it for shit or get along with it or set up a solo boost level either .
+Matt Kenyon How is the sound of it? I'm considering this amp tho
facebookdarius888 Not bad but getting along with it sucked ass , every time i changed from one button to the next on the foot controller it was like flipping a coin , i never knew what sound would come up !!!! That and trying to sustain or feedback a note was IMPOSSIBLE because the amps built in noise gate ( that is not adjustable and can't be turned off ) would just kick in and cut the note off !
Matt, I have a 80 GX and I understand your frustrations. The limitations of having 1 saved preset sound (solo channel) and the other two channels (clean and lead) are only switches and not presets. So the clean and lead channels tones are what the knobs and controls on the panel are set on and the channel buttons for these 2 channels are switches and not presets. The pedal is limiting also, no tap temp or wah effects pedal (exept for more $ for additional pedals).
I have to admit, the sound of this amp is good. As far as fuctionality, it is outdated and probably why they are closing them out and making way for new technology. I also have a Line 6 Spider Jam which is the ulitmate practice amp. It has all the functionality that the Cube is missing and has good tone also.
Thanks Mark , trying to see which Line 6 that is has all the artist presets but that may be way overboard I am afraid , the more I think about it , the more I think the the KISS theory makes the most sense .
Although I loved the sounds I was able to get out of this amp , I was NEVER able to program sounds that STAYED in the memory they would always fucking change ! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!! LOL So every time I would hit a button on the foot controller it was like rolling dice I never knew what sound would come up , absolutely useless .
The new GX 40`s are faulty. They emit annoying vibration from inside the cabinet. They also have worse build quality than the previous XL`s. Sound worse, look worse and cost more. I took mine back and tested another brand new one, Same fault. Avoid the 40GX is my advice.
comsat1000 totally agree they’re God awful things
It is a great amp, and the cube jam app is a great idea, but its shit.... Its volume levels are shit, it makes everything sound farty and shit, it doesn't export songs to its sister app show my music... roland customer service uk is shit, roland have just let this app and feature rot, no updates ever, its a broken feature that roland are ignoring.
My 40GX sure as shit does not sound like this..
The 40 also only has a 10'' speaker where this has a 12'' that alone makes a huge difference
I'm actually talking about the brightness in the lead effects. My small old Roland Cube 15XL has a way better metal stack than this one.
***** I just got a 40gx and I feel exactly the same. I don't know what they did to the metal stack. It lacks definition at the bottom end. It sounds kinda wooly.
BDaMonkey Yeah I thought it was me at first you know? To get used to it, but it still sounds kinda shitty.
Did you ever use the power squeezer function on the older model? I think I overused that, and it may be colouring my opinion somewhat.
fizzy mess
Doesn't sound that good
