I Need a Good Combo Amp

Very impressed. The cleans were very nice although not as loud as I thought. Amp models were very surprising, being a confessed tube amp fan. Sounded real, warm, responsive. I particularly liked the Rectifier and Tweed sounds the best. Hard to believe this is the same amp every time you turn the dial.
Effects were good, especially the delay and chorus. Not a big fan of the phaser, a little harsh sounding for me; but managed to get a passable a "Unchained"-type sound. Footswitchable channels / fx was handy.
At about 15kgs (32lbs) it is pretty light.
For years I have used the same effects set up so to rely on an amp to do all of this was a little daunting. I can happily say it passed the test.
I'd like to take it to a rehearsal / band situation to see if it cut through enough, but I guess if you play medium sized gigs with this you'd be mic'd anyway. I could just bring my guitars and this amp, and leave everything else at home, making setting up a lot easier and quicker.
Pretty impressed- a low maintenance, great sounding amp.Go home the Earth is full....Comment

Don't forget THIS feature, a dream come true.
A Roomful of Amps—All in One
The CUBE-60 comes with nine onboard COSM Amp models, including JC, British Combo and R-Fier. COSM modeling faithfully provides every inspired nuance and characteristic of a variety of classic and modern amps, down to the preamp and circuits, speaker and outputs. Roland's new "Dyna Amp" amp type lets you create unique tone transitions based on picking dynamics. You can get a transparent clean output sound by picking softly, or a powerful hi-gain amp sound by picking more aggressively. Dyna Amp's distortion can create cool tonal transitions based on the intensity of your performance.Comment

BTW they also have a battery powered mini amp version. It's my main practice amp, it's really great.
It's called the Micro Cube, only cost me $125 bucks, and has most of the regular cube features, effects, models and all.Comment
