The Quest For Tone - Roland Micro Cube

[TheMattslash]

how calls the song at 3:10 minutes

[davidtse1]

I liked this video only because you played with the tuning fork button at the end.

[MultiXlr8]

hi mate ,great vids and review .i want to ask u ,can this amp do make the heavy vibrato ? like you put it on high gain and when u bend and vibrato the sound bcomes higher ?

[ProjectAwesome1]

watched a few of these quest for tone vis. Something I would like to see on these vids is the actual tone knob settings, and perhaps a little bit about how they affect the tone of that particular amp. Great vids, keep shredding!

[astroboirap]

guitar sounds flat

[RockGuitarDave]

I've actually giged with one of these before lmao

[SlaughterSwitchBlade]

nice skills master!

[yo1undoo]

[bbnatedogg]

The Quest for Tone featuring the.......ummmmmm......fucking Roland Microcube? What the fuck did you smoke before you made this kid? Nice playing but that amp is only good as a door stop! Exaggeration but anyways only good for room level late night wanking

[midget6mafia]

does yngwie stuff sound good through that little beast?

[rymeryme]

Mate, you are awesome! Even with this tiny tiny amp!

[martian59]

Vox mini 3 is more advanced.

[creation23]

@soadfan997 Ain't talking about love! :D sweet song

I really dislike Roland Cubes. ><" Excellent playing, but horrible amp IMO.

[soadfan997]

@creation23 thanks!

[dumapies]

@creation23

its a great sound amp for something u can shove in your back pocket 

[creation23]

@dumapies You must have a MASSIVE back pocket ;)

[dumapies]

@creation23

figure of speech mate :P, my friend has one and i think it sounds pretty darn good for a little 2 watt solid state thing, i can't see a reason why to hate it..obviously its not gonna beat a marshall JCM800 for tone but what could u ask of it?

[creation23]

@dumapies Haha I know it's a figure of speech XD

What i'm saying is, why would you get this, when you could get something like a Vox amplug (I'm not usually a fan of Vox). That Actually is pocket size, and you can either play it just for you through headphones, or connect a speaker to it and have it the same size, bigger or smaller than this.

I realise it wont match any Marshall (maybe the MG series..) but still, there are better things :)

[conca121212]

Van Halen FTW!! Awesome Review i got the micro cube and its Amazing! You get killer tones in a budget!

[classicrockhahaha]

what guitar is that is it a rob chappers signiture

[benwilshire]

@classicrockhahaha

Hello man

Its his own guitar company called "Chapman Guitars". This particular model is the ML1 which is currently available from Andertons Music Store for £199 which is an absolute bargain as they are incredible:)

[TheArmin666]

Are you familiar with the boss gt 10 :) ?

[iAmTheYan]

Nice tuning fork solo.

[WigglyMalmsteam]

What's the music in the intro please?

[benwilshire]

@WigglyMalmsteam

Hello man

Just a jingle that i recorded myself

Ben

[Soloing4ever]

@benwilshire which gear did you used for the record?

[benwilshire]

@Soloing4ever

Just a cheap sony handycam and windows movie maker mate.

[Soloing4ever]

@benwilshire No, for the intro song. sry if I wasnt clear before.

[benwilshire]

@Soloing4ever

oh right sorry mate!!

Umm i was using my gibson les paul into a crappy line 6 spider combo (not mine) with an AKG c1000 mic in front of it into Logic Pro 8. i used the DI for the bass and midi for the drums also in Logic Pro. Its not a great recording i can do better im working on recording stuff at the moment ive just got an imac an logic at home.

[Soloing4ever]

@benwilshire Nice! Thks a lot! :D

I wish I could shred like you. xD

[guitarplaya284]

I'm so glad you don't suck. I hate sucky videos, Thank you! lol

[jeserty6]

MAN! Those cabs are freaking huge!

[fedebemus]

can you use it for acoustic guitars too??

[benwilshire]

@fedebemus

Hi

You could plug an electro acoustic into this amp and it would work just fine but roland do make an acoustic amplifier called the AC 33. That would probably be better suited.

Ben

[Channel450]

You make every amp sound good ;) really like your videos:)

[superlou1s]

Hey Ben, do you recommend this for bedroom practice? I can't decide between this cube or a Vox Amplug (which is only one amp model, but is also 60$ cheaper)

[benwilshire]

@superlou1s

Hello mate:)

This is without doubt the best practice amp money can buy. It sounds brilliant and is very versatile. I use it in pretty much all videos and put it behind the camera and put the marshall on screen unplugged and some people dont even notice the difference!

Check out my lessons on picking i use it there!

Defo recomend a cube there badass!

All the best

Ben:)

[superlou1s]

@benwilshire- Thanks man, really helpful! I'll try one out this week- I'm sick of playing through my peavey tube amp. Too loud, awful tone; I've been practicing my electric guitar acoustically for as long as I can remember- I only plug in to jam :P

[TechcoreIsSexy]

wow man is just the roland cube and your guitar?? nothing more?? sounds really amazing!

[benwilshire]

@TechcoreIsSexy

Yeah mate:)

Just the amp lead and guitar.

[rriddiough26]
