Roland Amp Cube 15x

[JustSomeRandomNewb]

The metal stack sounds much better with gain in the middle, and a pretty even eq, with the mids just a little lower than the bass and treble.

[Gavin66627]

Hi i was wondering can you connect a foot pedal to this amp to change between the sounds?

[kodiprinter]

@Gavin66627 No you can' t connect a footswitch. You must change manually between sounds...

[JustSomeRandomNewb]

@Gavin66627 If you know a little electronincs, its easy to make it foot switchable tho...

[HGArchis]

Hey! I am really confused in which amplifier I should buy. The options are: This, Marshall MG15, Line6 Spider IV 15W. Please explain me which one I should buy and why. Thanks in advance.

[xalalalala]

@HGArchis gather some more money and if your into marshall get a mg30. With the right sound effect processor you can get an awesome sound of it

[thegamehemu]

hey ive got a question again,when ever i try to play song on Drop D tuning while playing DAD strings i get worst sound from the amp,can you help me in dealing this? should i change the strings ? I love hard rock musics and i have ESP LTD M-10 Guitar.waiting for the reply :)

Thank you :)

[Interinvicto]

I dont know which amp to buy.....Marshall MG15 or Roland 15 XL...Can you help ????? I like Metal..Metallica,Helloween,Kis­s Iron Maiden..etc ...and i dont want use a pedal ....I like just Guitar and Amp....Just for study and use Headfones.....but i need a great distorcion....

[kodiprinter]

@Interinvicto I think that Marshall has not good distortion referring to the small-price collection. I think that in this case Roland is better. You can get from a nice overdrive to a fat metal sound. Of course for 90euros the sound is not perfect but i am sure it will satisfies you.

[Daudiu]

@Interinvicto roland is pretty good but if you put 10 more euros, you can get a peavey vypyr 15. It got alot of tones and a pretty heavy distortion.

[vascocorreia16]

does the amp come with the guitar cable?

[thegamehemu]

dude i got Cube 15xl,sounds sick :( can u help me to set the distortion??

plzz mention the settings !

thanks :)

you rock !

[kodiprinter]

@thegamehemu . I do not know what kind of music you want to play but i will try to give you one or two examples:

1. Overdrive - Blues (set distorition to "overdrive"): EQ -> B:7 M:5 T:6 Gain -> 6

2. Hard Rock (set distorition to "distortion"): EQ -> B:6 M:8 T:7 Gain -> 8

3. Metal Classic British (set distorition to "metal"): EQ -> B:7 M:10 T:5 Gain -> 10

4. Metal American (set distorition to "metal stack"): EQ -> B:9 M:3 T:9 Gain -> 10

I hope i helped :)

[thegamehemu]

[vascocorreia16]

@thegamehemu can you please tell me if the amp comes with the guitar cable?

[thegamehemu]

@vascocorreia16,no i got the cable on my own ,they dint give anything else along with amp,,

[High9231]

Thanks for the review, finally someone who got that when people want to buy eq. they want to hear how it sounds. NOT some guy talking 90% of the video. I CAN read manual. THUMBS UP FOR YOU.

[cubedude7]

Thanks man, I never did anything with the 'gain' button, so my sound also sounded kinda lame, but now it tried your set-up, and it rocks!! thx!

[NivleKOo]

Ty dude!!! i have this amp, and have problems to set it to a sick sound :) u helped me alot!!!

[kodiprinter]

@NivleKOo Thnx man no problem!

[BlackIbanezPower]

dude ,you are the best:)

i tried your setup and its pretty sick:)

but i change it a little bit and now its awsome

i have:bass -8,middle-3,treble 8 and gain on 5

thanks,i gave you thumbs up^1

[kodiprinter]

@BlackIbanezPower Thnx mate!

[BlackIbanezPower]

why is my cube 15x sounds so crappy?

i wanna have a nice metal sound,can you tell me how to setup it

[kodiprinter]

@BlackIbanezPower select "metal stack" and adjust the eq like this: Bass - 9, Middle - 2 or 3, Treble - 8. Try this setting and tell me.

[BlackIbanezPower]

@kodiprinter

ok i will try it

thanks for answer:)

and gain on 100%?

[psychorockz123]

hey are you using any pedal? cuz do you get so much distortion on that amp?? which guitar are you using>?

[kodiprinter]

@psychorockz123 I do not use any pedal - i play direct into the amp and i am using an Epiphone LesPaul Standard lefthand

[MrMuddyBleach]

I'm so ready to ditch this amp haha.

Years of memories, but I think I'm ready to move on to a Traynor YCV40 and use dirt pedals for distortion.

[daffyecho]

i have this amp. filthy :)

[bugatti94]

My Roland Cube 15x is making a very high frequently noise when i turn it on :/

(only when im not touching the strings)

[JaxxyNikil]

@bugatti94 Make sure your Strings are Grounded on your Guitar , If not , Get it done !

[bugatti94]

@JaxxyNikil My amp is not grounded.

How can i ground the strings anyway? :o

[JaxxyNikil]

@bugatti94 Even My amp does not have a Ground Pin in the Plug , I dont know They havent provided it..

As u said...When u touch the strings...the noise or buzz goes away...which means your body is grounding the guitar...So once the strings are grounded internally ,the problem solves !

Its quite complicated to explain how to do it...Just take ur guitar to a nearby Musical Instruments store and get it done....to get you an idea...it goes like Strings > Bridge > Electronics in the back > Ground !

[JaxxyNikil]

@bugatti94 Also , Google it and see how to do it , If you want to do it by yourself....That is , If you are familiar with Soldering and stuff.....Its a simple fix and a commonly occuring problem.....However , This procedure is not recommended if you have Active Pickups installed in your guitar..As those are internally grounded 'As it Says On The Box' lol

But if you are not sure , Dont risk it , Get it done by a professional instead....its hardly an expense !

[bugatti94]

@JaxxyNikil Im not that good with soldering, i've only tried iton school sometimes.

But i guess i just let it be as it is :)

[alzeta86]

CAN YOU TELL ME THE TITLE OF THESE SONGS?THANKS

[kodiprinter]

@alzeta86 These are improvisations of mine. They are no songs. Sorry

[yuriynyr]

whats better the roland 15x amp, or the line 6 spider IV 15watt amp?

[SasukeUchihaVLAD]

@yuriynyr Peavey Vypyr 15:)

[nhoodfan]

it it's 9 volts you can take a n9v battery clip and a power plug fitting the amp

[Anarchyinoid]

i have a first act guitar and this amp. would it sound better if i get a fender squier stratocaster instead and still use this amp

[kodiprinter]

@Anarchyinoid /// I think that the sound is solid and stable. The only difference is the sound itself from your stratocaster. This goes for any guitar you plug into it...

[yuigui3]

is it portable can you utilize batterieson it???

[kodiprinter]

@yuigui3 It is very portable and light. There is no option of placing batteries on it, unless you use your own pattent.

[rockfreakraj]

Hi even i own roland 15x....

plz cn u tell me cn v connect effect pedal o processor to this amp if s then plz tell me hw....there r only 2 slots,,input n recording...plz help me

[zigen96]

better than micro cube? could someone tell me, its almost christmas :D hurryhurryhurryhurryhurryhurry

[italouruguayricano]

what is the difference between 15x and 15xl?

[skate4live11]

if you turn the volume louder and you are playing a solo.. i really don't like the tone

in this vid it sounds good but in real live it sounds really thin just not a nice tone

[A7XFan1989]

Does this amp have a foot switch??

[mcennis4545]

I just got mine in the mail, I love it. Simple as that.

[hillbillymoment9]

can distortion pedal be used on the clean channel?

[kodiprinter]

@hillbillymoment9 Yes you can use distortion pedal on clean channel. I use a Carl Martin Heavy Drive

[Anitrop]

i have this amp with a cheap lil squier affinity tele (not a bad guitar tbh), and it sounds ok, but it sounds the same with pretty much every guitar. very sterile. it will make a bad guitar sound ok-ish, but will also make a great guitar sound "ok-ish)

thats my review, other than saying its built like a tank, and the headroom on the clean channel is low at best. great first amp anyway. i'de give it 7/10

[TheLazyman6130]

I have same amp. That's a really little monster. You must to try it !!! Perfect sound and really neighborhood friendly .

[TheCHRABO]

good video ;] i buy this AMP !

[mironas10]

what buy better 15x or 20x ??? :S

[maxmennet]

@mironas10

the only difference is in how much watts does it have.

[TheGuitars4me]

which guitar do you have the epiphone les paul 2? good vid

[kodiprinter]

@TheGuitars4me i have the Les Paul Standard Lefthand (about 700 euro in Greece)

[tellycastin]

Some great little amps to choose from.

Check my demo.

[zurgoku]

LOL in Portugal i found it in 89 euros.

[UploaderA]

how much does this amp costs?

[kodiprinter]

In Greece this amp costs 98 euro

[DjJoeee]

@UploaderA

Bought it for 79 Euros

[FroZenCyanide]

@UploaderA in canada or the states 99

[GuitarCoverErik]

i have tyhis amp it's awesome :) but you can't put in a footswitch :(

[MHarrison84]

@GuitarCoverErik what do you mean a footswitch????

[GuitarCoverErik]

@MHarrison84

Change channels with a footswitch (between clean and disortion) you have to press the button on the amp to switch. My channel has vids with this amp ;)!

[MrGuitarmadness]

good video ,bro

[CrimsonFingerBoard]

peavey vypyr...way better

[spiritshifter]

whats with the bad quality

[kodiprinter]

It was my first video and i did not know how to save the movie file (format)... :(

[JonasBarbaro]

This seems a good home amp. to use with a nice guitar effects processor like Boss GT-10.

I'm thinking buying one of these...

[kodiprinter]

Not only for home. You can use it for small gigs also. I had 4 gigs (about 150 - 200 people crowd) up to now with this amp. It is pretty loud.

[JonasBarbaro]

So you like this amp, right ? I'm replacing my Marshall Valvestate 100W that I love but it's simply too much for an apartment...

I not sure wich to buy, the 15X or 20X since I only want to use the clean channel because I have a guitar effects processor.

[kodiprinter]

I would suggest you to buy the 20X because it has a lot of potentials and the price difference is small.

[nirvanaman1129]

@JonasBarbaro 15x... its more simple and better clean channel.

[Evnn01]

Aux-In is for your MP3 Player

[Matheus222]

what is aux in, and why isn't there any foot switch?

[kodiprinter]

Aux is an input where you can connect your psp, mp3 etc. so you can play along. There is no footswitch by manufacturer.

[Matheus222]

How do I connect my mp3 player? Could you describe how?

[kodiprinter]

You can buy a specified cable from a local electronics store and connect it from the headphones output of the mp3 to aux in (amp)

[Snotra]

No reverb?

[kodiprinter]

No reverb :(

[InAGaddaDaVida29]

Would I be able to get a thrash metal sound out of this thing?

[kodiprinter]

Look it sounds sweet and not crunchy. I haven' t manage to set up a really thrash sound on this amp. As i said before, it plays a little bit of all...

[HammersmashedTaco]

HEY CAN U ANSWER MY QUESTION

is this amp able to have a pedal hooked up?

[kodiprinter]

Yes tapping is working on this amp and you can hook any pedal you like. They all work perfectly!

[dsan224]

wats better roland cube 15x or peavey vypyr 15?

[haoliver1]

Peavey!!

[JoaoRouxinolSongs]

@dsan224 rolland man! ;D

[TeethPlayer]

@dsan224 I'd vote for vyper. my friend got one. ind i had a cube and the vyper IS better ;)

[dsan224]

@TeethPlayer lol dont worry i got the vypyr over a year ago and its great :)

[coisinho6981]

@dsan224 peavey vypyr 15

[rockshow256]

@dsan224 Roland

[criticon0078]

@dsan224 peavey vypyr 15 more effects and this roland better dist and sounds more analog, sorry for my english xD

[dsan224]

@criticon0078 thanks lol, i bought the vypyr 2 years ago and im very happy with it!

[spookie1410]

Plss can u give me tittle of song started on 39sec ?

[kodiprinter]

I am just jammin' all video long (there is no specified song) sorry

[bigcatroberts]

I've my micro cube for 3 years and I love it

[MsLinhart]

how you play on begining it is very famous song,what is it plz(it is nice)?

[kodiprinter]

I believe it reminds you "Fool for your loving no more" by Whitesnake BUT it is not it.

[kraeutemall]

im not sur shire if i should get the the cube 15x, the hb ga15 (tube amp) or the spider3 15w.

i'm fancying with the roland, but im not quite sure. my guitar has alot of high-frequency output. put.

[stead10pod]

@kraeutemall

i do not recommend the spider III 15w, get a tube amp instead, i have a spider III and want to sell it because im not happy with it at all

[MonsterMikeMonster]

Spider III 15w is baaaaaad, sounds quite bad, and i eventually had to fix mine with ducttape and speakerwire

[salko95]

The micro cube rocks and this sucks. Micro has effects and more drive channels, and this is just the same as the regular cube 15 ..

[kodiprinter]

Micro has smaller speaker... and more effects

[deadscorpions]

how is this compared to the micro cube?.

[GTYOYO]

think i can run a couple 9v pedal through this i heard u have to set it to clean to use pedals on 15x

[jasonroxorz]

uhm... i'm pretty sure all modeling amps you have to set on clean to run effects...

[modykhan1805]

Kodiprinter. Well That is one of the best demo you gave here. I'm very beginner playing for the last 8 months. Can play basic chords & power chords. I have Peavey's Vypyr 15, either it's so technical somehow I'm unable to eliminate the reverb noise, Can't get a good sound of straight down strum. With rhythm playing it's pretty ok. I wanna find out bout this cube15X should I go for 20X or 15X, is there any difference between them, or pretty much the same just wattage difference. Thanks in advance

[xtazysv]

dude, i'm gonna get this amp because it's the best buy for the buck, i think, but sincerely.. you want your sound to be fat when your gain is popped all the way to the max. You can fiddle with the 3 band EQ to get a very very good sound.

[thomasdgreen]

Sweet. Just ordered a 15x, can't wait for it to come now!

[jonnyjumpsalot]

Would you recommend this for me? I just bought a BC Rich Warlock Revenge as my first guitar. I plan on playing strictly metal. Maby some old rock like ACDC etc, but mainly metal. Ofcourse wont be doing any gigs soon so doesnt need to be loud enough to overcome drums... but i do play it loud when im alone. So, what say you?

[kodiprinter]

This amp is great for a big variety of what you have in mind to play. You can get an acdc like sound and a few metal ones. Also i inform you that i play all my gigs with this amp! It is prety loud, do not let the size of it fool you. Keep rocking...

[jonnyjumpsalot]

a few metal ones? i was looking for an amp mainly for metal, and MABY some rock.

[kodiprinter]

Look, this amp gives you a variety of gain and distortion. I believe that every sound on this amp is middle rated, that is why you can play from blues overdrive, rock, hard rock and metal. Do not count in having a big fat metal sound... but... it will do the job.

[WutangClan4LiF3]

Hey man Nice video and playing. I Got a problem i got the same AMP and a new guitar Ibanez grg170dx But i cant get the sound of your 2:50 . ITs nothign wrong with my guitar and my amp its just a technique .How youd o it man? i wanna learn it

[kodiprinter]

Just place the base of your palm upon the top 3 strings as you play. It will sound muffed (sort of). Try and tell me...

[Whatevar11]

Yeah, get the 15w and some amp headphones.

I also got a BC Rich Warlock. Weird, huh?

[ThatBassDood]

Jonnyjumpsalot, I would highly recamend it for you, i just bought it, its really nice, I has 4 boss sound channels, Distortion, overdrive, metal, and metal stock, So its great for metal, but like kodiprinter said its great for all kindsa of ranges, it has 2 channels! so like you could play clean and switch channels and have a heavy ass sound. great buy if you ask me

[JAMVVK]

high gain guitarr!!!

[akumanomichi13]

is this amp good for metallica slayer and lamb of god stuff?

[kodiprinter]

Look, don' t expect much from this amp. But... yes you can manage the sound to play slayer etc.

[akumanomichi13]

i have a low budget ryt now and in this country they dont sell the peavey vypyr so this was the alternative if i can manage the slayer sound thats good enough for me thx ^^

[George2ec]

how about to use the record out to record via any software in a computer...have you ever try this...I'm looking for an amp that sounds good in two ways via speaker and via record out....the sounds of the line6 it's too digital and the cube seems to sound a little better...

[kodiprinter]

I have never tried to record anything yet from the Cube 15x. I will make a try and inform you

[virgylferns]

does anyone know how to get a good MAB or steve vai tone or any other tone thats nice for shred. sweeping and alternate picking stuff etc from this amp im using a mahogany body guitar with hss pickups???

[sozoro93]

wow this amp is very good

[adynik]

cool and great small amp

[kodiprinter]

Epiphone Les Paul (700 euro value) and thnx :)

[zandafryingman]

[stavroula27]

[bobthemastor]
