@nbl23 If you mean the FS6 pedal them you'll need either a stereo to stereo lead or a lead with 2 mono jacks one and and a stereo jack the other as the Cube 40XL has stereo jack footswitch inputs.
I always really dislike it when they demo a product by playing over a backing track. I want to hear what the item sounds like on its own, not partially covered up by background music.
I have one and it's flawed by a constant hissing (ssshhhhhh) noise from both the speaker and headphones/direct out which Roland claim is a characteristic of the amp. Otherwise it would be a great amp but I wouldn't recommend it.
Hi. Just bought a 40W (had a 80W before). I thought the 80 was too much for my small home room where I practiced and this was the reason of the unwanted feedback (I play archtops). Now with the 40W the feedback seems worse. I just wasted money. Is there any chance to reduce the feedback using jazz archtop guitars. I dont play loud and the feedback is really anyoing. Thanks. Great playing, you rock! CB - cheers froM Brazil.
@bluejazzcat I know people who have stuffed sheets down in the archtop, also foam...thats what the famous loud blues rocker George Thorogood did. If you have the standard f-holes in the archtop you can also buy f-hole covers that stop the feedback... this way you can basically play about as loud as you want.
Hey im new to Electric Guitars and Amps. I wanna buy an Amp.. but i need suggestions whether should i buy this Amp or another.. i want to play Slipknot or Limp Bizkit songs. So is this the right Amp to play their songs?
@wsonu578 this is a great amp, it can be used for anything you want to play, from jazz untill metal. i got one myself and im realy happy with it. you can buy another amp but i think the roland cube is the cheapest for its quality. other things i can recommend to you are line 6 and marshall, but the problem is that these amps are realy expensive. hope that helped.
@twandeman666 i brought my 40x cube amp 5 days ago. and i have noticed that JC Clean Solo Mode Volume give normal sound but when i switch to Lead Solo Mode it give low Volume. i cannot share the video in comments section if u want to watch it please Message me. cuz i can't seem to message you. im waiting for your reply
@wsonu578 so it only gives low volume in when turned to lead? i think it is a technical problem. maybe you have to go back to the store and ask them. coz that isnt normal. maybe it is just a loose wire or something like that. hope that helped
@twandeman666 yea it gives low Volume when im in Lead Solo Mode. in normal Lead Mode it gives normal volume check this video out " youtubedotcom/watch?v=O46m3MYzuJM " (put "." instead of dot in the URL i wasn't able to share the actually URL here) also try with your Amp (with my settings you'll see in my video) and tell me whether does it sound same or do i have a defected Amp? Thanks im waiting for your reply
I have an older 30W and 80W. Both are great. The little one has been dropped and rained on (yes, it's true and I'm not proud of it), and it still works great. I replaced the speaker with a Jensen after a bass player blew out the old one. (I'm not normally an amp abuser.) I treasure these amps for their clean sound (JC Channel). The Tweed amp setting is great for blues. Obviously, highly reliable. And Alex Hutchings is terrific. Watch just to hear him play.
Respond to this video... @xxDunkOrDiexx I have the Boss FS-5L which is a single latching pedal. I switch it out depending on my needs. The Cube has four different inputs in the back, each shares a dual function. The same switch will work in all inputs, but unless you buy the Boss FS-6, you will need more than one FS-5L to access looping and switch channels at the same time. Hope that makes sense....
what is he playing at 2:08 ? i keep hearing that lick as an opening to a jazz/blues show on the radio and i have no idea where it's from. it's too good not to be something famous but i don't know it :))
@nakim55 - yeah, right, because, like, you are "all of that", you can play all the styles he does with all the fluidity and taste that he has... umm, what was the name of your first album....? have a seat wanker. You may only like the style of Wes or Grant, but having played jazz all my life, can clearly state definitively that this guy is capable of playing jazz. And if you think guitar playing or jazz is about the face at all you are in serious need of therapy and music lessons.
I was wondering if you be so kind as to tell me the exact set-up you using to get that Jazz sound? I see U have several foot-pedals, are they the reason for that sound and what settings are u using on the Roland Cube. That's the best Jazz sound I have ever heard from a small inexpensive amp. The sounds are great, but I know much of that sound must come from the pedals
@Gregabalese - the foot pedals are just nonlatching switches - they are ONLY turning things on and off in the amp. Everything you hear in this is coming from the Cube alone. That's usually the point of the demos... :)
Hi Alex can you stop doing demo's? your to bloody good my man and I'm jealous cos I play like shit compared you you.... only joking fantastic playing...
Bought a 40XL on the back of this video and online reviews. Very pleased, great mix of amp and pedal sounds, and very loud. But the 'Power Squeezer' pulls down the output for bedroom use. Just got a little MP3 player for backing tracks and plan to get a bunch of footswitches from Thomann. Overall a good buy!
I am in a bit of trouble... I am looking at buying a Roland Cube XL series. I do band reheasals/gigs and I am not sure if the XL 40 would be powerful enough. Should I go with the XL 40 or the 80?
@Reaper12894 depends on drummer,i would recomend buying the 60 watt version(if your drummer hits like a psycho) :) but i think 40 would be loud enough,try them both in the store :)
@Reaper12894 CUBE 80 IS WAY TOO POWERFUL AND ITS USE FOR LIVE NOT BAND PRAC I THNK GO FOR CUBE 40 I OWN IT AND ITS AWESOME IT HAS THE SAME INPUTS AND HARDWARE AND TEST IT THE SOUNDS ENOUGH FOR A AUDIENCE IN A HALL
@Reaper12894 I bought the Roland Cube 80XL and I love it! Its way better than the 40 XL and I was in the same situation you are in-which one to get(since they are both good). Besides the obvious power difference the 80 has more features....First of all it has a 12 inch speaker compared to the 10 inch one in the 40xl so you will have more bottom end. The 80xl also has an extension speaker jack so you could hook it up to a bigger cabinet if you wanted(that is nice but no need for it yet)....
@Reaper12894 Also, it has a presence control on the 80 so you have more tonal options(it is very effective),the JC Clean channel also has a bright switch which works wonders if you have a humbucker equipped guitar like my Ibanez and it brightens up your clean sound....and the 80 also has an extra amp model-The Deluxe Combo which models a Fender Deluxe Twin which is a great amp for bluesy and country sounds.Anyways, hope that helps you out some I bought mine for $349 new and its worth every cent
This has been torturing me in confusion for quite some time now... How do you set up the BOSS dual pedals? I read that you need a "TRS y-cable". Does the cable give each switch on the pedal its own function? Somebody please help...
@Reaper12894 Hey man- I just made a dual footswitch like the boss fs-6 for a cube 80x, it still doesn't work great with the delay/looper but it works perfectly with the channel switching and solo option. The trick is having a stereo cable connecting the amp to the footswitch. To tell the difference look at the plug of a regular cable (mono) and the plug of a stereo cable. The stereo plug has an extra line on the smooth part which enables both pedals to work. Hope this helps
@Reaper12894 actuall i just saw in the video that the boss footswitches have 2 inputs- so stereo cable probably wont help you. sorry for the confusion!
Got 1 of these 4 my B-day. Sounds great but really only good 4 practice or recording. It has a lot of bass so as it gets louder the speaker over extends causing speaker pharting. If you want one to play through in your band go with the Cube 80XL. It's not that much more expensive (pretty cheap actually) with more features, power. and a 12 inch (30 cm) speaker.
Beautifull song (1st one) and skilled playing throughout... I sure hope I can play like that some day. I think I am getting the cube 40 for my new les paul supreme knock off. I can't wait!
Sir I went to a Joe Satriani concert and was amaze but you on the other hand are incredible. How you can play anything and can change tempo beat sounds on a dime. Love the way you play the sound you develope and you are very fast. Can't understand how an agent has not pick you up or became famous WOW. I play guitar wish I had half of your talent
what the difference between these new XL's and the old X models? On every website the X models are more expensive than these new ones.. I dont get it.
@Christopherwilder47 My bet is that there's more competition now then when the X's came out. Now there's the Vypyrs, Vox has the new VT+ series, Fender just launched the Mustang's, Line 6 updated their Spiders... retail price is based on the market, not on actual cost level. Also adding models and looper probably didn't have a serious effect on piece price. I very much doubt that Roland is selling them at a loss.
I think Alex is an asset to Roland. Just like Johnny DeMarco, Gary Lenaire, and all the others. Awesome player and teacher. I like his playing. It's awesome.
Roland has done a nice job with the Cube series of amps. You definitely get a lot of amp for your money. The COSM amp models are really usable live and very easy to dial in. I just picked up a Cube 80XL at a guitar show outside of Philly earlier today for only $299. This amp usually goes for $349. I wish they included at least one of the footswitches with it. It would also be great if the amp could make me sound as good as Alex! LOL!
A lot of these professional demoers, as in the ones that work for the companies like Roland, always do their demos with backing tracks. That tends to get on my nerves, because then you can't really hear the tone of the gear like you could if there wasn't the backing track. Maybe that's why they do it.
@guitardbucket You really want to check out the Roland UK Band Perform @ Nevada Music UK vid. Three Roland demoers playing completely live--brilliantly.

Got 1 of these 4 my B-day. Sounds great but really only good 4 practice or recording. It has a lot of bass so as it gets louder the speaker over extends causing speaker pharting. If you want one to play through in your band go with the Cube 80XL. It's not that much more expensive (pretty cheap actually) with more features, power. and a 12 inch (30 cm) speaker.

What is the setting that you had for the jazz sound starting at 6:08. Nice smooth soung.
JagClub99 1 year ago
the sound is to clean to be that sm57...i believe we are hearing an output capture of some sort...
squidskunk 1 year ago
@squidskunk Nope just an SM57, Alex's Musicman has that hi fidelity sound. Cube amps do have a fair bit of sparkle on the clean channels.

Beautifull song (1st one) and skilled playing throughout... I sure hope I can play like that some day. I think I am getting the cube 40 for my new les paul supreme knock off. I can't wait!

what the difference between these new XL's and the old X models? On every website the X models are more expensive than these new ones.. I dont get it.
Christopherwilder47 1 year ago
@Christopherwilder47 the looper isn't available on the old models, and some amp models/channels/effects
theoriginaldimi 1 year ago
@theoriginaldimi ok thank you. well, why is it cheaper then? if it has more features, why??
Christopherwilder47 1 year ago
@Christopherwilder47 My bet is that there's more competition now then when the X's came out. Now there's the Vypyrs, Vox has the new VT+ series, Fender just launched the Mustang's, Line 6 updated their Spiders... retail price is based on the market, not on actual cost level. Also adding models and looper probably didn't have a serious effect on piece price. I very much doubt that Roland is selling them at a loss.
theoriginaldimi 1 year ago
Is it worth an upgrade from the Cube 30x soundwise (not taking the extra features in to account)? Has anybode done a side by side test? Thanx

I think Alex is an asset to Roland. Just like Johnny DeMarco, Gary Lenaire, and all the others. Awesome player and teacher. I like his playing. It's awesome.

Roland has done a nice job with the Cube series of amps. You definitely get a lot of amp for your money. The COSM amp models are really usable live and very easy to dial in. I just picked up a Cube 80XL at a guitar show outside of Philly earlier today for only $299. This amp usually goes for $349. I wish they included at least one of the footswitches with it. It would also be great if the amp could make me sound as good as Alex! LOL!

He should really cut his hair, he would look a lot better. Sick player though.
seandog1234 1 year ago
A lot of these professional demoers, as in the ones that work for the companies like Roland, always do their demos with backing tracks. That tends to get on my nerves, because then you can't really hear the tone of the gear like you could if there wasn't the backing track. Maybe that's why they do it.
