An Awsome Amp

by James Parker from Folsom, CA USA
March 7, 2012
Music Background: Hobbyist
I am very impressed with this amp, at just over $200, it packs alot of features, effects, amp model tones, and 40 watts of power into it's small 22lb (16" sq.) cabinet. I like the JC clean sound, on t... read more [+]he lead side love the R-Fier and classic settings. Looping works great and also the ability to plug in an ipod to practice against. I also bought the Boss FS-6 foot switch, makes switching channels and using the looper easy.

Overall very pleased with this amp, if your looking for an amp, don't let the small size or price tag deter you, this thing rocks.

Also very pleased with Sweetwater's fast shipping, customer communication and support! close [-]

Great Amp

by Alvaro Torres from LA, CA

Music Background: Pro Musician and Recording Engineer
I own 2 of this great amps 1 for touring and 1 for studio and practice. In my opinion the best thing about this amp is the weight it is really light and that is a plus specially when you have to carry... read more [+] from gig to gig every night. The sound that comes out of this amp is amazingly good. It has enough power to play anywhere from Clubs to Arenas since now a days technology is in our side you just mic it and put it through you in-ear or floor monitors ant you are gold! The COSM feature is incredible. I really like the JC CLEAN channel for clean guitar sounds and from the lead channel I love the R-FIER for a really nice Distortion and Lead sounds. I also bought the FS-6 pedal to control the 80 sec looper (amazing feature) and the EFX with it. Overall it is an amazing amp! close [-]

Roland CUBE-40XL

by Bhedrock from Atlanta, GA
September 13, 2011
Music Background: Gigging hobbyist
I think the XL must stand for eXtra Large, as in the sound and number of options this amp gives you. I downsized from a nice 2X12 Carvin Vintage amp that was just getting too heavy for an old guy like... read more [+] me to carry around anymore. At 22 lb, this baby is 34 lb less than the old one and packs tons of options into its compact size. Love the various amp models (particularly the Classic and Rectifier settings), and the looper is fantastic for creating rhythm backing for screaming lead accompaniments. At this price, along with the included additional 2 year warranty Sweetwater provides, it can't be beat. close [-]

Great Amp. Simple Yet ... Sophisticated

by USMC7312 from Viera, FL
September 12, 2011
Music Background: Hobbyist
First the tone out of the Roland CUBE is great despite its smaller size by like 40% of the size of Peavy Vypyr 30.

Next is the simple and easy configuration. The config panel is greatl... read more [+]y simplified by comparison.

Lastly, its integration with the BOSS GT-10 is simple and easy. The JC Clean mode provides the perfect JC-120 tone. This makes it easy to make sure the GT-10 tones are not being stepped upon by the modeling amp.

If your looking for a simple yet reasonably priced amp for practice. This is the way to go. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
