Grammy Award winning guitarist Eric Johnson and the makers of Blues Cube amplifiers have co-produced the new Eric Johnson Blues Cube Tone Capsule.
“I’ve spent years finding amplifiers to suit my tonal quest and discerning criteria to get my sound. I’m excited to work with Roland to create many aspects and persona of that sound in a more compact, tangible, and affordable version for all kinds of players.” - Eric Johnson
His noodling is a musical piece itself, blues, classical and country hybrid, this dude is a force of nature!!
Oh my! That SRV tone almost brought a tear to my eye
Despite being a huge gear head, he could probably play a garden rake through a trash can and STILL sound just as phenomenal.
Just ordered an NOS version of this tone capsule today for my Artist 212! Already have the Ultimate Blues version and it is awesome too.
I dont use to say that guitar tone is all in your hands, but that violin tone that Eric has is definitely in his fingers.
EJ makes every amp sound awesome.
I owned a Roland BC a long time ago, years before the EJ Capsule. They do in fact get a good tone, for a SS amp-However-I still knew that I was playing a SS amp.
This Mod might work for people who want an EJ sound on a budget, BUT to really nail the tone, you will still need to add good quality pedals for Delay, Chorus, EQ, & especially, Compression.
Shocker, Eric Johnson sounds like Eric Johnson without $1MM of gear.
tone is still in the gear
Haters gonna' hate. While I don't really like how gimmicky to plug in is, that's some neat technology. That demo sounds fantastic.
If it sounds good and it’s not in front where everyone can see than it’s not any more gimmicky than using pedals
Plug Nick Jonas into that amp. If he gets EJ's tone I'll buy it tomorrow.
Or Lil Wayne
😂😂😂
Tone capsule should only cost like 30 bucks.
But the company needs to make a profit and advertise hence the $269.00 markup.
One of my favorit guitar player.
Johnson looks & sounds great.
I am not disputing Eric has great tone, but a lot of it is with the wet effects he has carefully chosen. Can’t say he uses a really natural tone, but that is not a criticism. I do believe if you used the exact effects and settings he uses you would get very very close. But his playing is so clean and precise
Since this video i saw Eric Johnson on stage with fender amp or others brands but never with a BLUES CUBE. Bizarre, vous avez dit bizarre ?
All these negative comments, and yet 518 thumbs up vs. only 14 thumbs down. Seems the ayes have it.
damn.. That sounds nice!
What song does Eric play at the beginning during his voiceover? I love the way it sounds.
I'm interested in buying this amp. but the smaller version {60w Stage} Does anyone know if this will be ok for a live setting with drums etc ... can this compete ?
+triplejudy ~ Sure it will.
Yes it's very loud for live gigs out side also
Does this only work with Blues Cube? Or can this tone capsule be put in any amp?
That is the most legitimate question one could ask. It's out-front stupid to demonstrate a product on the actual amplifier it's supposed to simulate!!
It's only for the blues cube. It changes some of the characteristics of the blues cube to his preferences. There's no place to put it on other amps. You would damage a tube amp if you tried to attach it, if you were even able to attach it to an octal socket.
+John Isom I have some ideas on where Roland can put it....
先にご指摘されているとおり、確かに小じんまりとしてる感は拭いきれませんが、やはりエリック・ジョンソンの音色（Tone）は何時聴いても時間を越えて心地良く、荒んだ心を癒してくれます。
do the blues cube capsules work with the waza craft amp?
Are they having a laugh. $299 for a pretty memory stick...what a bloody gyp! You could buy an AnalogMan King of Tone and still have money left over for a night on the beer & a pizza with that kinda cash! The great thing about Cube amps is their value for money...then you throw in a curveball like this!
I think with Fender and Line 6 amps you can plug them in on line and download any tone you want from a database that's been populated for years. You could probably find a ton of Eric Johnson type tones for free. I've never done it so I don't know for sure, just what I've heard.
It’s true, it’s much easier to select a vast library of crappy digital tones with a Line 6. The Blues Cubes are simpler and much more responsive than many competitors.
That is a really nice AEA ribbon they put if front of that amp. I wonder if they were running it into a Neve console to tape? The amp seems to record really well, but I don't think Eric will be giving up his vintage equipment anytime soon.
Why does the Eric Johnson tone capsule cost an additional $299?
+Phil Spigner simple, its a fine you pay for being so gullible buying into Roland's marketing ;o) Any logical company would include all of these 'tones' into the amp, and be done with it. Its funny that one of the benefits of a SS amp is simplicity, and here they are suggesting we carry around a bunch of glass valve-like capsules at $300 a pop. Fail
I have ordered the Roland Blues Cube Artist today and have been told It wont be in the UK until late March maybe early April!!!! I asked about the Eric Johnson capsule. The music shop I ordered the amp from spoke to Roland UK and he said they did not know about the Eric Johnson Capsule and thought it might not even get to the UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whats the point of this if you cant buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now the end of March 2015 and still no sign of the Roland Blues Cube Artist from Roland
John Treadwell Just got notice that mine shipped today (US). The only place I found taking preorders for the Tone Capsule is Sweetwater.com
Received my Artist model 2 months ago at last. Sounded great for around 4 weeks but then started to sound noisy and was sent back to Roland UK - but they could not find anything wrong with it??? If it happens again will video it for them and ask for a full replacement, Thought these amps never went wrong!!!!
Had the Roland Blues Cube Artist for a few months now and have started a band again. I was a bit worried if this digi amp could cope in a live situation against drums and bass but to my surprise it did it easily. I was thinking about getting a valve amp again but this amp is brilliant especially with my effects through the effects loop. This can be turned off on the amp so you can have the natural sound of the amp if you want to do something else. It was also a joy to lift to the gig out of my car and back again at 35lbs it was a breeze. I remember the days (and a bad back) shifting AC30 and Twins at 70/80 lbs - now my back is a lot better at this weight and the sounds are better as well and no valves to worry about. Would highly recommend this amp. I understand Roland have bought out a 2 x 12 version of my amp and also a stack version with a separate head. You don't need these new versions as the 1 x 12 version sound good enough for gigs and practice sessions.
...es todo una campaña de marketing. Escuchad el "clean" cualquier cube anterior y comparad. Continua sonando a "lata", demasiado brillante, para mi gusto. La distorsión si que parece haber mejorado un poco, pero que no os engañen, ahí no hay nada de nuevo.
Why does Eric Johnson have a picture of the Ayatollah Khomeini in his studio???
+Michael Dolan Not many people know what a bad-ass guitar player 'A' was.
They used to call him "Concert Pitch 'A'" that's the kind of tone monster he was ...
Great observation! WTF???
so yeah, whats up with that. saw this clip on rolands page, came to youtube just to search the comment section
I think it may be Sant Kirpal Singh
What is the colour of the Fender Eric was using?
It's his signature Stratocaster in the white blonde finish
is this the 1x12 version on this video?
É o guitarrista que eu gosto esse cara aí!
EJレベルになれば、ギター・アンプ何使っても指で良い音、自分の音出せるでしょう！
the swedes have been putting a SOUND in a CHIP like forever, waaaaaaaaay before u ever saw this.....esp in the electronic organs repro/g pipe organs digitally..we were selling that in late 90's, we'd fly in a enginner from sweden to program chips for a particular sound a customer needed!
Is is possible the character in the picture everyone is concerned about is Billy G. from ZZ? Or maybe the Indian guru Sri Chinmoy that Santana was devoted to?
Really love this idea and sound but to charge 300.00 200. Somthing is way to much bring the price down on these capsules musicians aren't rich man we love to play shame on you roland I have ALot of yer products and love them please give us a break on this stuff .thanks
Oh my... Roland, what are you doing? The price of the amp alone is an obstacle for some, if not most, and then you want an additional $300 USD on top of that for a plug-in module? Woweee.... No thanks.
tube emulating system just started to work, just wait a couple of years and you will probably find some cheaper tube emulating system amps, technology just started to work
Blackstar iD 60TVP-H Great (Multiple) Valve emulation, its built like a rock and looks amazing, Best Solid State amp ever!
Two years later and shops can't get enough stock of the amps or the tone capsules. People said they cost too much but the tone capsules are practically sold out and the amps continue to be on back order because supply can't keep up with the demand. People can say what they want - these amps and the tone capsules have been a success and a viable option for both working and amateur guitarists.
Hate to break it down for you... but tone is in the fingers :::D
neat
its a $300.00 upgrade on a 650.00 amp. No thanks as a matter of fact screw you Roland for not making it integral to the amp. Do you expect me to believe my amp will be that much better by adding a "capsule". I don't buy it literally and figuratively. Especially since you are now coming out with more "capsules". Why not make it 25.00 or 50.00? especially since it is a pain in the ass to use because you can't turn it on or off. The blues cube is a great amp but the whole tone capsule concept is infuriating to me. For a part that cost probably about ten bucks to make its pretty low to gouge loyal customers with this type of BS. Fucking dealer called me a day after I bought my BC Artist and tried to sell my this trinket. I instantly felt ripped off, Like roland was saying "we could have sold you the best product we could make but we decided to leave it a little shitty so we can sell you overpriced things literally the day after you buy the amp to improve the sound to what it should and could sound like" Dicks!!!
The tone capsules sound different not better than when the amps are in their standard form. I think of it as a change more so than an upgrade. I ended up buying the Ultimate Blues Tone Capsule which takes the amp from Tweed to blackface type territory [Fender Super Reverb] with a Marshall Super Lead on the crunch channelAgain, not better just different.If the Amp shipped sounding like a Blackface then they'd be selling us a capsule to make it sound like a 59 Bassman - it's all marketing bullshit , absolutely. Welcome to capitalism,
So don't fucking buy it!
The amp sounds great all by itself. I wouldn't even want his capsule pre-installed.
Make no mistake, no gear at any price, will make you sound like Eric Johnson.
Roland believes the amount of time and engineering spent in modeling his specific amp warrants $300.
Don't like that? Buy a Kemper. I'm sure some Joe on the internet will sell you a patch for less.
You sir missed out. This is the best amp I've ever owned.
Lol just buy a jc 40 dude
Probably why I never ever heard of cheddar Bob. ha ha
So is he going to start gigging this?
No. Just giggling. On the way to the bank.
Looks like he's got a picture of bin ladin on the wall behind him!!lol
David Jones Yeah, I was wondering who that was myself.
+David Jones yeah.. and the bull is charging him. lol
Hands.
Does anyone know where these amps are made?
Thanks for the feedback.
Tibi Risko I'd suggest they're made where everything on this planet is made these days...
But don't take my word for it, just a wild guess.
Malaysia
Damn!
I think he'd sound good through a shitty $50 pawn shop amp!
Don Felder also uses Fender amplifiers.Not Blues cube..too bright and very low gain.Yes good for goyntry music..maybe?
So... Hank Marvin capsule? :)
An HM capsule...great idea!
haha Roland very funny! now sell ice to Eskimos..
This must be what Ellen DeGeneres looks like first thing in the morning.
I don't think I've ever laughed this hard from a youtube comment. I'm STILL laughing.
😂
Sounds very good, but its an emulation, and its expensive. You could get a quality used tube amp and some cheap copy pedals from China (some sound just as good as the originals) for the same price. I prefer to get the real thing, and play around with the tone. Playing around with your tone is a important aspect of becoming a good guitar player. I do not have the same hands or ears as Eric Johnson, so I want to find the tone that matches my own style and technique.
Ellen DeGeneres is a helluva guitarist. Damn!
It's not like modeling, it is modeling
I think he never use this amp .
Good tone but this will be a bit gimmicky and not good for retaining resale value.
Just get a Fender Blues Deluxe.
200$ Tone capsule= snake oil 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
they sound like nice amps
far too expensive
Why the fuck would I want to sound like Eric Johnson? I know two of his songs
Cheddar Bob More like: Why the hell would I want to sound like Eric Johnson, the tone is SO OVERPROCESSED, it doesn't even sound like a guitar at all. Way to ruin the beautiful, natural sound of a Stratocaster.
Cheddar Bob Maybe you could just get a tone module you liked better. ? Just sayin.
Eric should be ashmed of himself for endorsing something like this. I guarantee you after Roland left filming, Eric said not get this piece of shit of my studio and give me my money bitch. What kind of bullshit is that thing that looks like a tube, trying to fool people. Eric does not use it live and neither should you!
Maybe, but I can't afford EJ's real rig.
Yikes... An overpriced Peavey Bandit ripoff and a preset loaded USB stick with cute lights on it. No thanks.
lol, go in detail pls. which aspect of this amp is a ripoff of a peavey bandit?
エリック・サウンドが、なんか、こじんまりしていて迫力に欠けてしまっている。エリックのファンが、自宅でエリック・サウンドを楽しめるという点では買いかなぁ。
another hit and miss over hyped,piece of gear with a big name endorsing it but not using it.a marshall is a 10,the blues cube is a 0.5 in comparison.......nuff said
or maybe just a bit overpriced
So you will be governed by someone else's idea of a sound AND PAY STUPID MONEY FOR THE PRIVILEGE.
With the assistance of a 50 piece pedal board eh. I started to get interest in these Roland amps until this propaganda turned up, sorry, must look elsewhere. ( Valves really are best ) 😁👍
While I am impressed with what they tried to do, having capsules you have to buy (at stupid cost) to plug in is something that might have been acceptable in the 1970s. Today its laughable, and destined to fail.
This guy....blah, blah, blah. I know so much.
he looks like Al pacino but thinier
This stuff is a dead end, has been for years and years. Nobody wants it.
