- Musical, Highly Responsive Amp Tones with Tube Logic
Warm, bouncy, responsive, dynamic, elastic.these are all terms that guitarists use to describe the satisfying experience of playing their favorite tube amps. Roland’s Tube Logic accurately provides the complex, highly interactive behavior of classic tube designs in meticulous detail, providing the magical “it” factor that takes a guitar amp from a simple sound system to a living, breathing musical instrument. Great feel, distortion control with touch and volume, bloom, sparkle, power supply “sag,” and more-everything that players love about a finely tuned vintage tube amp is present in abundance with the Blues Cube Hot “British EL84 Modified”.
- Performance-Ready Amp for Pro Players
Ready for live playing, the Blues Cube Hot “British EL84 Modified” is equipped with 30 watts of power, plus a custom 12-inch speaker that’s been specially designed for maximum tonal response with Tube Logic. The open-back cabinet features poplar plywood construction for rich, acoustically vibrant tone on stage and in the studio.
- Clean to Crunch with One Knob
Just like a traditional Brit combo, the Blues Cube Hot “British EL84 Modified” offers a huge range of tones from a single volume knob. You get clean, natural tube fullness and bite at lower volumes, and ever-increasing crunch as you turn up. There’s also a Boost switch to add more gain and thickness, plus a Tone switch to kick in a sparkling high-range presence. And just like a vintage tube amp, the Blues Cube Hot “British EL84 Modified” loves stompboxes, allowing you to further shape your sound by hitting the amp’s front end with your favorite gain pedals.
- Wide-Open Sound at Any Volume
Every tube amp player knows that you really need to turn up the volume and push the output tubes to get the amp to sing at its best. The downside is that the sound simply becomes too loud for playing anywhere but the biggest stages-though that’s certainly never stopped guitarists from trying! With Tube Logic, the Blues Cube authentically delivers the complex distortion characteristics of output tubes and their interaction with the output transformer, with the sound getting richer and the feel becoming more dynamically responsive as the overall volume is increased. But with the Blues Cube’s variable Power Control, you’re able to enjoy this musical, cranked-up tone while matching the volume to any situation, from recording to rehearsals to nightclub gigs and beyond.
- Maintenance-Free and Easy on Your Back
With its modern approach, the Blues Cube eliminates the drawbacks found in all tube amps powerful enough for stage playing, namely weight, fragility, and regular tube maintenance. In contrast, the Blues Cube is basically maintenance-free, and has been carefully designed to reduce weight in every area that doesn’t affect the tone. With the Blues Cube, you’re able to enjoy great tube sound at every gig, but with much easier load-in and no actual tubes to worry about!
