That's why they've introduced their new KC-500 Keyboard Amp ($799 retail) and two new Blues Cube Guitar Amps, the BC-60/310 (with three 10" speakers/$779 list) and the BC-30/210 (two 10" speakers/$479 list). All three are perfect for small to medium sized venues, and of course, backed up by Roland's tremendous reputation for building killer equipment.
The KC-500 features four channels of stereo input pairs, each with its own volume control. It's also equipped with two line outputs (XLR and 1/4") so you can route the stereo output mix to other sound reinforcement systems. There's even a mic level input. The unit comes equipped with a powerful 150-watt amplifier and incorporates a two-way speaker configuration (a 15" woofer coupled to a horn driver) ensuring accurate reproduction of your sound with fat lows and crisp highs. Covered with a protective carpet material and rugged metal grille, the KC-500 can take just about any punishment you care to subject it to.
But how about the guitar player in your band? Maybe he's been thinking about a new tube amp, but he's been put-off by the skyrocketing cost of these beasts. Roland to the rescue again with their proprietary Tube Logic Technology which gives you the warmth and richness and smooth overdrive characteristics of the finest tube amps, but with the reasonable cost and super-stability of modern solid state technology. If your guitar player (or you for that matter) have been craving the time-honored sound of a Fender Bassman or Tremolux, you'll be blown away by how accurately the Blues Cube can capture that tone and a whole lot more. Whether you're doing blues, jazz, rock or country, the Blues Cube can dial it in for you. At 60 watts, the BC-60/310 will give you the volume you need for almost any venue. The 30-watt BC-30/210 is great for smaller clubs and in the studio (plus it's ultra-affordable).
So before you spend your money on some ridiculously expensive tube amp, give a listen to the Blues Cubes. They're designed and built by Roland right here in the U.S.A. to deliver the sound guitarists really want and need. Oh, and with their dark cream tolex covering and brown grill cloth, these puppies also give you the cool, vintage look you've come to love. So give your Sweetwater Sound sales engineer a call for more information on the KC-500 keyboard amp or the Blues Cubes from Roland. You won't believe the quality until you hear them for yourself!
