Roland Blues Cube Hot Black transistor amp combo

General

If you're looking for a compact, lightweight amp without a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles, the Blues Cube Hot Black is right up your alley. This transistor amplifier combo by Roland features Tube Logic technology which makes it sound and react like an authentic tube amp. In overdrive, this 12-kilo amp delivers that familiar, delicious raw edge and a vintage sound, partially due to its Custom Tuned 12-inch speaker.

Any 'stage' of the game

The Blues Cube Hot is a great companion on any stage, or even at home. An integrated Power Control allows you to select the wattage depending on your surroundings and goes from a hushed 0.5 watts at home to a slightly louder 5 watts to 15 watts for a small venue, to a maximum capacity of 30 watts. Turn up the volume to simulate the sound of those hard-working tubes. The Blues Cube is also equipped with loads of handy connectors, including a headphone output and a foot switch connector (foot switch available separately). You can also connect this amp directly to your computer using the USB B port.

From sweet and clean to dirty overdrive

As mentioned before, this combo responds to your playing just like a tube amp would. To achieve that delicious edge, turn the volume up - the higher the volume, the more raw your sound becomes. If you need an extra push during your performance, press the Boost button, located next to the Volume knob to add some crunch. When you want to add some sparkling clarity, engage the Tone button. Both of these effects can be turned on and off by means of a separately available foot switch. Want to elevate your performance even higher? Turn up the Reverb and adjust your sound to perfection using the three-band EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble) and the Master Volume.
