Roland Blues Cube Artist 2x12 amplifier combo

General

Following the success of their original Blues Cube Artist, Roland proudly presents the Blues Cube Artist 2x12. Featuring two 12" speakers and 85 watts of power, this amp combo is fully equipped to conquer large stages. With their classic looks, Roland's Blues Cubes instantly put you in mind of classic Tweed amplifiers. The comparison doesn't end there, however, as they also deliver the same warm, rich and dynamic tube sound Tweed amps are known for, thanks to Roland's very own Tube Logic technology. From guitar input to speaker output, the Blues Cubes were designed with the Tweed sound in mind.

Boasting a 2x12 configuration, this Blues Cube is a great asset on stage. With five more watts of power, it offers even more clean headroom than the 1x12 model. Even though this amp combo sounds and looks just like a vintage Tweed amp, it weighs a lot less and, more importantly, is much more rugged, making it suitable for a life on the road. The two channels of the Blues Cube Artist 2x12 each have their own boost and tone controls, but a Dual Tone mode allows you to combine both channels, opening up a world of different sounds. A natural-sounding reverb and a tremolo provide an extra touch. Like the tube amp that inspired it, this Roland Blues Cube works exceedingly well in combination with stomp box effects.

Variable power, USB and other connectors

Tube amplifiers sound better if you turn up the volume. The Power Control knob of the Blues Cube Artist enables you to decrease the power of the amp from 85 watts to 45, 15 or even 0.5 watts, so you can play at a low volume without sacrificing the tube-like distortion you get on stage. For quiet practice sessions there's a headphone output and for direct recording to your computer the Blues Cube Artist is fitted with a USB connector and a line output. If you like to work with external effects gear, an FX loop is at your disposal, and you can also connect two optional foot switches or the Roland GA-FC to switch between channels and the Dual Tone option, or to activate the tremolo and the FX loop from a distance.
