Epiphone Les Paul through Roland Cube 30

[JMSeppala90]

Good sound!

[ElectricGuitar1998]

what settings are you using???

[mrfootinmouth]

@ElectricGuitar1998 Let me see, I think is Bass 7, Mids 6.5, Trebble 6/6.5, Gain 10, Vol 1, Lead channel on the 'Metal' model, and just a touch of reverb or delay.

Aditionaly I have a DODVGS50 multieffects pedal in fron of the amp that I use to ad just a slight amount of aditional gain in order to push the amp's distortion up a bit (it brightens it up).

And that's about it.

[ElectricGuitar1998]

@mrfootinmouth thanks!!!

[Pentatonikus]

I really like it!

[ecgedsel]

is it loud enough for a small gig

and does it sound good with a distortion pedal like um a boss mt2 metalzone

[mrfootinmouth]

@ecgedsel depends on the gig it's probably not loud enough next to a drummer, as for the distortion pedal you can ttry it on the clean channel or the black panel channel which are voiced diferently but they are both clean (the black pannel is warmer sounding while the clean channel is very neutral)

[slayermanbob]

@ecgedsel It is not even close to loud enough for a small gig. The drummer WILL drone it out if the crowd doesnt.....

[mrfootinmouth]

@orendalnix deserve maybe, afford not a chance :(

[mattacuk]

your playing is excellent.

[leddeath80]

you must tell me what amp model and the settings u are using. plz

thanks

[heavymetalguitarer]

ive been hearing the every guitar sounds the same on the cube 30. Is this true cuz i dont wana waste money on a new guitar if its gonna sound the same

[mrfootinmouth]

@heavymetalguitarer It's partially true that solid state/modelling amps like the cube are not as dynamic as tube amps which results in a less dramatic variation in the response from one guitar to another.

But to say that they will all sound the same is a huge exageration used by tone snobs to bash modelling technology simply because it doesn't live up to their impossibly high standards.

I have 7 guitars and they all respond and sound VERY different trough the cube to my ears. my .02

[heavymetalguitarer]

@mrfootinmouth

thanks so much man you helped me heaps =)

[revolutionday1]

Peavey Vypyr FTW!

[Urankar3]

GREAT!!!5/5*****

[golllywoggyman]

Cool mate...nice guitar rifs

[cdefgh77]

i also bought an epi lp recently and i'm planning to buy a cube30. do u know what's the difference betwween 30 and 30x?

tks in advance ;)

[mrfootinmouth]

As far as I know the 30x has an extra amp model which is designed to respond to playing dynamics, a tuner, a "aux in" input jack and a power squeezer.

that's all I can tell from pictures of the controls. the 30x is basically a slightly improved version of the 30 with some extra features

[cdefgh77]

tks for answering my question,i've already ordered a 30x and i'll get it soon,so excited :D

[joekaay]

im planning to buy myself the exact gear you have, is the cube 30 good with epi lp standard in all amp-settings?

[mrfootinmouth]

To me it is, I usually stay in the metal amp models and the clean channel, but when I do go to the other models I just tweak the gain a bit and I can get some nice break / clean bluesy sounds.

The epi les paul pickups have a very round character which I think helps to keep the potential amp harshness down a bit.

The only model i haven't played around with much is the acoustic simulator.

[joekaay]

Okey, I think I'll stick to this gear then. Thanks for the help, really appreciate it! Have a nice day.

[topografer]

lol it's funny that you have a tone like this with an epiphone and a roland cube.. It's really cool!

[scottmnickel666]

wow dude your pretty good, TEACH ME! lol

[EuropeFactor]

I wish I could ''just noodle around aimlessly'' as well as that

[Asseladden]

You kicked some serious ass dude!

[oreospace]

Good job.

I play mine on the clean channel with a tube screamer ts9. The sound is impressively warm and I don't have to wake up the neighborhood like I would with a tube amp.

Keep it up.

[kinzinho]

Nice amp i use V-amp foot to change dist/clean and EFX effects : )

[mrfootinmouth]

got a boss latching footswitch for it and didnt work the way I expected (needs a non latching switch)

Luckly the footswitch worked perfectly with my vox

[fangimikifangi]

wooooooooooow its sounds like the big Masrhall amp , Roland cube 30 ROCKS!!!

[mrfootinmouth]

The camera's cheap microphone might have a little to do with it,

Still love the amp

[EuropeFactor]

Are you sure ;o)) lol

[MCBlackbuddha]

It's sounds great!Thank U.I will get it soon.HAHA...

[AlfredHarker]

Hey, I'm getting an Roland Cube 30x. But i want to use the effects on the amp? Mainly Distortion. Is the distortion any good on the Roland Cube 30x? Do you have the footswitch for it? Boss FS-6?

Cheers Mate,

AlfredHarker

[mrfootinmouth]

The amp doesn't have distortion as an effect, instead it has a modelling section that emulates the sound of diferent amps, including some 'distortion' amps, like Classic stack, metal, and R-fier.

I think the distortion tones are good for a practice amp, but some people that have used tube amps before might not like it as much (not as warm or tube like sounding).

AS far as the footswitch I believe the Boss FS-5U is the most apropriate one since is a non latching switch

[clasher23]

i just got one from a trade. For a practice amp, this is quite possibly the best combo I've played through. Very Loud and the distortions on board are quite tasty. The rectifier model is pretty sweet and so is the brit model. Clean channel is flawless.

[flesheatingsmoothy]

it does have a distortion knob on it, except its called gain

[mrfootinmouth]

Well ok, gain it's the amount of 'distortion/gain' that comes with each amp model (like in the amp that tries to emulate), but it's not a separate effect,

in other words, it doesn't add the same kind of distortion to all models, it's funcionality/tone changes with each amp model.

[flesheatingsmoothy]

yeah i guess

[garydudu]

omg~im looking for the epiphone les paul without the pick guard~

ur guitar is looks great without the pick guard~

anyway~hw was the epiphone les paul?

izit nice to play?

[mrfootinmouth]

Thks, Real nice guitar for the money and plays great unless you want to shred then it gets a bit akward up the neck for me.

Mine came with the pickguard, It's only held with 2 screws, so can be easily removed, a lot of people do that to their LP

[kinderbalu]

nice! five *!

[WeekendWarrior1210]

Cool, but does it look weird without it? Like there are obvious screw holes? Or is it ok?

[mrfootinmouth]

The holes are there, you can only really see the one that holds de pickguard from the top of the guitar (though since its black it's not so obvious), the other one goes on the side around where the guitar sits on the leg.

I don't think it looks weird at all, in fact a lot o LP models come without the pickguard.

[WeekendWarrior1210]

Hey, did you take the pick cover off below the humbuckers? thanks man!

[mrfootinmouth]

Yes I Did, only held by 2 screws

[jscruz27]

So which is better?

Roland Cube 30 or Micro Cube FX?

How much did you buy your roland cube 30?

[mrfootinmouth]

Don't know, the micro cubes are smaller and less featured, but more portable.

I paid around 350 US for the 30(it's not the 30X, that came out months after I got mine)

[mrfootinmouth]

Thanks for the replies people, haven't logged in in a while. To answer some questions:

>The Roland cube is mono (if that's what you meant).

>The epi did came with the pickguard but I took it off after a while, no particular reason just liked it better like this.

>30 Watts is plenty loud I barely ever crank it past 9 o'clock

>I'm using a light flexible pick (GravePicker), I'm just digging hard, actually the hevier the pick the better for me.

Thanks for listening.

[benadam1]

is it Mono or sterio??????? plz plz awnser

[emiliog1989]

wow nice playing

[MrPedal94]

what guitar is that??

[pedrolopesasdf]

Epiphone les paul 100

[PurpleSandCastles]

its a les paul standard you idiot

[Randy22123]

its an epiphone les paul standard the lp100 has dot inlays and the standard has trapezoid inlays

[fenderstrat34]

Did u take ur pickguard off or did it come with it off?

[PurpleSandCastles]

he probably took it off.

[GuitarEd48]

Very good!I have the same amp and also the cube 60 and both sound good!Beautiful Les Paul:D

[Guitargirl8989]

get a lighter pic!! but ur really good =]

[jjjiiikkk12345]

Roland cube 60's wayyy better

[Tanzhia]

Hell yeah, allmost blowed my head off on max volume at the R-FIER

[imixers]

Well yaahh 60 Watts ain't your mommas kitchen radio!! (Or mines ;) )

[Mrbegals]

THats a real sound of the epiphone and not some gay thin distortion you others post up haha.

[Narderz]

That's really good!

Would you recommend that guitar?

[TheMJQ]

i have the same guitar and i would recoment it. it sounds amazin and if u change the pickups to seymour duncan it will sound just like a gibson les paul.

[M3talforlif3nigga]

i just got the cube 30x today. it fucking rocks man

[WgSDgE145]

how much does it cost?

[bassturd666]

$229 at Guitar Center's website.

[OritaEdi]

i use the same amp and im getting the same guitar

[SilentPitbull]

thats the exact setup i have :)

[LORDIOJF13]

should i get the epi lp standard or the cort m600

[dontneedmath]

epi lp standard

[Hippylespaul]

Agile Al3000 from rondomusic

[skimtildeath32]

sweet playing. loved it 4/5. how do u like the stock versoin of that guitar?

[mrfootinmouth]

love the stock version, But I'm not picky about pickups or hardware, I do feel that the pickups could use a bit more beef but that's a metter of taste

[BM270musician]

Do you think the Studio Les Paul by Epiphone would be a good choice if you don't want to buy the standard because of insufficient funds?

[pppoichops]

definatly not, I would wait a year until you had the money for a standard, studios just aren't worth it...

[BM270musician]

mmmmmmmmmok

[mrfootinmouth]

I honestly don't know, havent tried a studio yet, I was under the impression that they were the same thing as the standard except for the finish, binding and inlays.

[BM270musician]

they are except that I think they have a bolt-on instead of a set neck.

[pppoichops]

yeah exactly, the bolt on is bad, just all around, the lack of finish and what not you can deal with, but overall the quality is very noticably worse than the standards

[BM270musician]

I just checked the specs and it said that it had a set neck. My mistake. Anyways, I'm not going to get it. Probably a Les Paul BFG or a Jackson guitar...Or schecter. :)

[stratman1990]

No mate. Studio is a LP Standard without binding, trapezoid inlays or a maple top. Still ha set neck though. But I'd agree with mrfootinmouth. Save for longer and get the standard coz you'll regret it if you don't

[bajondy]

I KNOW WHY IT IS CALLED THE STUDIO! you only use it in the studio so no one else knows you have such a nasty guitar so you wont get embarrased

[batman63batman]

lol, HAHAHA, lol, lol, oh my god, I can't stop laughing....

[batman63batman]

oh, sorry, my laughter is because of bayondy's comment...

[Mikkelcp]

LOL! i'm getting this guitar, and i am considering buying the amplifier your using too! and i just found this vid, nice one:D

[Drewster123]

dude, you freakin own at guitar, im getting a cube 30 tomorrow morning =) christmas

[MidnightSpades]

I got a micro cube a year ago when i started guitar

I got a Marshall Mg30dfx for my birthday [dec. 23rd] I hated it and traded it in for a roland micro cube 60

[Drewster123]

im just gonna be fooling around with it so it doesnt matter

[philbio66]

I owned a Roland Cube a long time ago. How do you like it?

[DidoSLB]

What is the difference between the guitar

-EPIPHONE LES PAUL STANDARD ...

-EPIPHONE LES PAUL STANDARD PLUS ?? ...

what is the best »?

[RhoadsLives]

ok it epiphone standard plus TOP so the only difference is the finish on top. Oh and $30. They have the same specs.

[superjoelucky12]

is it me or is that les paul huge? it might just be the angle, but nice playin that was kick ass im getting a les paul standard for christmas

[etkre]

Can the Roland Cube 30x compete with drums, or is 60 Watt version necessary? Most venues I play at have their own PA (to mic the amp), so I'm more concerned about being over-powered during practice/jams.

[ngmm07]

get the 60 , you can run it through PAs and cabinets

[SpiderWaves9]

Nice playing! I have the same guitar but Seymoure Duncan pickups it sound wrilly good.

I have the Roland cube 30x

[theglods]

Nice playing man! I was going to get a Cube 30 for my birthday, but got the Cube 20 AND a Epiphone Les Paul Standard;) Epiphone are cheap here in China. Their about 120 bucks!

[WhatsHerName1992]

omg! 120 bucks? I payed 420 bucks!!!

[theglods]

Yeah! For a Custom! Epiphone Les Paul Custom for 120 bucks! But Gibson's are twice the price of those in the States :( So I'm going to buy LOTS of Epiphones!

[WhatsHerName1992]

I wished I would live in China^^

[ToolGhoul]

You americans are lucky...here in norway gibson les pauls go for 20.000kr (thats about 3333 dollars) and epiphones doesnt come much cheaper.

I wish i lived in america....or china... :)

[WhatsHerName1992]

I'm from germany^^

But gibsons are as expensive as in your country

[mrfootinmouth]

I'm in mexico and that epi cost me 550 Us (list price basically), never seen a gibson in stock but If I were to order one, I will be paying list price as well plus handling charges in the local shops.

[mojoelem]

mrfootinmouth; You won't believe this but this amp suits Epi's MUCH better than Gibsons. I've got a 1983 Gibson Les Paul Custom (very heavy!) and it sounds terribly cheap thru this amp. If i use my sons cheaper Epi L.P. thru it it sounds superb! (especially on middle p/up)

[ward185]

I have an Epi lsp ultra with a 15 watt line six spider 3 amp. The amp sounds like crap.

I was wanting to upgrade.Would you reccomend the cube 30?

[mojoelem]

ward185: For this particular guitar it blends well. The Vox Valvetroxix is also a nice amp. I was playing a Gibson Les Paul Studio(Antique Mahogany) thru the Roland Cube and it sounded the same as the Epi Special 2 LP. Epi's seem to go well with Roland...maybe because they are both built in China?

[mrfootinmouth]

Yes I would, and I would also recomend Vox Valvetronix amps (I have a VOX AD30VT as well) and they are both great practice amps, Its better to try them both so that you can decide which is better suited for you.

[Levesque999]

Hell yeah. Its great. Cube 60 even better :]

[plechatam]

damn - that's MUCH more than I paid for a lefty historic brand new!!

[elorz007]

i live in spain and on a trip to the USA i bought a epiphone lespaul special II for 120 bucks with case, some picks, a tuner and an amp wire

[SirFightsalot]

gotta love the rolands

[aznjt]

Hey man, I own a Cube 30 as well.

and IM TRYING desperately to find a Pedal that can replicate the Sound of the "R-fier" Distorion from the amp!!

ANy ideas?

[mrfootinmouth]

the amp already has a R-fier model, but I don't use it much, too scooped sounding needs more mids.

[dcooper830]

Sounds great!! As you may know, I love Epiphones!!

[metallicaownzu]

awsome playing. about your guitar did you take the pick guard off?

[vampyriax]

I have a roland cube 60 :p and a jackson dinky ;) , good playing ;)

[5VDC]

very good sound !

[jester430]

The body does look bigger without the pickguard

[themolka]

I think without it it looks much better. Btw nice playing;)

[themolka]

What did you make with pickguard??

[mrfootinmouth]

removed it and stored it away, nothing wrong with it I just like the way it looks without it. may put it back again one day.

[Algonquin]

Very nice Mrfootinmouth. I really enjoyed your playing... well done.
