General
For additional power and bass response on stage, Roland offer this 80W edition of the Cube GX modelling guitar amplifier. The Roland Cube-80GX is equipped with a 12-inch speaker and, despite its moderate size, is powerful enough for live performances with a full band. This versatile combo offers a wide range of COSM amplifier sounds, as well as various high-grade digital effects. A specifically remarkable feature is the built-in i-Cube Link interface for iOS devices. Additionally, the Cube-80GX is equipped with a Bright function for the JS Clean channel and a Presence controller next to the 3-band EQ.
Roland Cube-80GX: versatile COSM sounds
The Cube-80GX is equipped with three independent channels. The JC Clean channel has been modelled after Roland's renowned JC-120 Jazz Chorus. The Lead channel offers you ten high-grade COSM amplifier models, from acoustic sim, black panel and brit combo, to metal stack, r-fier and extreme. Channel three, Solo, can be freely programmed with the settings of the first two channels, including EQ and effects. The optional BOSS FS-5U or FS-6 foot switch and/or the Roland GA-FC foot controller allow you to switch between channels and to activate effects hands-free. The GA-FC also offers you the possibility to connect expression pedals for input and master volume control.
Three independent effect sections
Add an additional dimension to your guitar sound with a selection of high-grade built-in digital effects. The Cube-80GX offers three effect sections, consisting of modulation, delay and reverb effects. The EFX knob allows you to choose from chorus, flanger, phaser and tremolo effects, or heavy octave. Select a warm or a clear delay and adjust its speed by means of the TAP tempo button. Finally, add some vintage-style spring reverb or a studio-type plate reverb to your liking. A built-in chromatic tuner function allows you to keep your guitar optimally tuned at all times.
i-Cube Link and Cube Jam app
A new feature for the Cube series is Roland's i-Cube Link connector, which also serves as an AUX input so you can play along with your favourite music or backing tracks. This mini jack connector allows you to connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch by means of the accessory interface cable. As such, it is possible to use your favourite music or recording apps. The free Cube Jam app offers everything you need to jam, to record and to develop your skills. Play along with songs, filter out the solo track, lower the tempo without changing the pitch or record your jams with one simple push of a button. Additionally, you can mix your recording and export the result to a 16-bit, 44.1kHz WAV file.

ik ben 3 dagen geleden de Cube 80GX binnen gekregen en is voor mijn pedal steel gitaar die ik verwacht eind sepetember
maar ik speel ook hawaii gitaar en heb deze uitgetest op de cube80gx want de pedal steel en hawaii gitaar hebben de clean sound nodig
de hawaii sound is geweldig en klank net zo mooi als de hawaii sound van een cd
ik speel de hawaii gitaar meer dan 40 jaar
de sound is zo mooi en een hoop clean mogelijkheden en volume genoeg hoor
en makkelijk in te stellen
ik heb de instelling bas 12 uur middle 2 uur en treble ook 2 uur
zonder de bright in te drukken
een aanrader voor de hawaii gitaar en de pedalsteel spelers een en leuke prijs ook nog
heb je echt geen dure nashville versterker voor nodig
ECHT EEN AANRADER EN KRIJG JE GEEN SPIJT VAN
ik zou bijna zeggen kom eens luisteren hi
de groetjes van Cor
De versterker heeft veel volume en presence voor z'n grootte en goed clean kanaal. Hij gaat goed om met m'n effecten, de oversturing van mijn Route 66 Compressor/Overdrive klinkt prima. Wel vervormd hij m'n EHX galmpedaal, waarschijnlijk omdat de Cube ook hier z'n eigen compressie over gooit (versterker heeft geen send/return). Dit is niet echt een probleem, want je kan toch beter reverb op de mengtafel aanzetten als er een microfoon voor komt te hangen.
In de ruimte maakt hij meer indruk dan een stuk duurdere buizenversterker en ik denk dat je echt boven de 800 euro zit voordat je een duidelijk betere speaker als dit gaat vinden. Mijn advies aan Roland zou zijn om een ligte 12 inch cube uit te brengen met enkel equalizing en een reverbeffect. Als je dan de speaker nog niets meer detail zou geven, dan zou je een perfecte pedals amp hebben voor onder de 400 euro.
Voor nu een ideale amp voor mijn doeleinden. De Cube helpt je met het vinden van een lekker fel rockgeluid dat goed door de mix komt. Ook voor jazz / blues kan je een volle clean krijgen. De prijs blijft natuurlijk een lachertje.
Autumnal Offerings from Fender
Wednesday 28 October 2015 By Richard | Bax MusicWhether you've already started thinking about your Christmas shopping list or not, Fender has one or two items you might want to add to it. Guitarists can choose from a Special Edition Standard Stratocaster Black MN, aChampion 100 Snow White amplifier combo, or even a Rustler six-string Banjo! Please note that the guitar and the amplifier are strictly limited editions, so if you want one, you'll have to act quickly.

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax MusicBlackstar has gone from a newcomer to an established name in a short space of time. One of their greatest assets is the Infinite Shape Feature or ISF circuit (as it's otherwise known) that they developed themselves. With the ISF circuit, Blackstar managed to greatly increase the versatility of tube amplifiers without the use of digital technology. The new Artist 15 and Artist 30 models both have an ISF circuit fitted and can produce the typical American 6L6 sound, as well as beloved British AC clean and crunch.

Now however, the time is ripe for VOX to introduce another series that, rather than show another slow and steady improvement, offer something more like evolution accelerated. Meet the VT20X, the VT40X and the VT100X, the first three models from the new series.
