Roland Review: Cube 30

History:

Purchase: I paid SGD$300 for it, bought it at Swee Lee MFO. My old Ibanez TB-15R was getting a little, small, and it didn't have any of the effects found in the Cube 30. Bought it brand new.

What I Like About This Roland Cube 30: Really great unit. Powerful, small, and has a huge amount of effects, which is very useful. The COSM is really clever, as it allows the amp to model the sounds of many other different amp, such as the MESA/Boogie Rectifier, Fender Twin Reverb, Vox AC-30TB, the vintage Tweed Fender Bassman 4x10 among others.

What I Do NOT Like About The Roland Cube 30: Nothing, cept when I turn on distortion and chorus, the sound comes out as though I was using a flanger/phaser combo. But I don't think you're supposed to use chorus with distort anyway...

Roland Cube 30 Quality Rating: Really good. Hardy piece of equipment. Dropped it once, still works fine. A little heavy to lug along on long distances, but hey if you want quality, you gotta compromise.

Review Summary: Good amp. Actually, very good amp. Get it. Perfect for practice, recording, small gigs...

Rating of this Roland product: 5
