Great for old guys

Music Background: Studio Guitarist
Simple and awesome. Has every amp sound you'll ever use and can dial them up with a turn of a knob. The extreme setting is incredible...has perfectly imitated the tube amp. Low guitar volume it has a ... read more [+]clean sound and the harder you strum, the more distortion starts to play into it.
Recommend this for any guitarist that doesn't want to spend two years learning DAW software.
Try it and you'll buy it! close [-]

Great Amp Great Price!!!

by Mike Remming from United States

Music Background: Week end Warrior
I heard about this amp on the Steel Guitar Forum. Playing pedal steel guitar players typically play through a 15" speaker. I was lugging a 200w Randall Commander 1 with a 15" JBL around for many years... read more [+] and wanted something lighter. This amps kicks butt. Using the JC Clean channel I get the sound I am looking for. I still am amazed of the full sound I get with such a small amp. Delvin at Sweetwater was great to deal with as well. close [-]

Roland Cube 80XL, everything you need in one amp

This amp sounds as good as my JC120 but is a lot lighter. I don't need to carry any effects pedals or tuners because everything is built in. I'm still playing around with the three channels, creatin... read more [+]g and saving sounds but it is clear that this amp has many possibilities. close [-]

Get this amp!

You will NOT believe your ears. With the optional Boss FS-6 footswitches, this amp becomes a professional on-the-go portable gigging powerhouse!

To be sure,... read more [+] it is solide state, but whatever. This amplifier puts out ear-bleeding sound, with low-end that you feel in your chest.

I have had this amp for only 2 days -- and I am absolutely blown away!

I considered the Fender Mustang, and the Vox Valvetronix, but decided on the Cube 80xl. And I have ZERO regrets. The back is enclosed, and this amp is constructed like a tank, and I have no concern that I need to be careful and delicate with it as I throw it in the back of my truck to make it to my next gig or practice.

Also, at a mere 37 pounds, it is easy to carry. And I like that.

Get this amp... or not. And, if not, then, well, too bad for you. close [-]

I waited to do this review until I got a few gigs under it's belt.
Love this little guy! Lots of power in a small package. Plays nice with pedal boards. On board effects are good to great. My ... read more [+]only whine, is the chorus is mixed to high, even at the lowest setting. Not a big deal.The looper is a lot of fun, prolly never use it on a gig. But super cool for practicing.
If you are tired of hauling heavy amps to gigs because drummers are loud...get this little bulldog!
Pop,rock,country,jazz...all the styles I need it for, it does well.
Solid build, should last a long time. 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!
