Laney CUB 8 single ended class A all tube guitar amp demo

The CUB 8 is a brand new single ended class A all tube guitar amp with its roots fairly and squarely back in the very beginning of tube amp production. The design ethos behind the CUB amps is small is beautiful!! There are plenty of situations when small is king and having an amplifier like the CUB8 allows you to get THAT vintage sound. The CUB 8 features a classic single-ended Class A design, and is loaded with
a single ECC83 in the pre amp section and a single 6V6GT in the output section generating 5 watts RMS of vintage tube tone.

The CUB 8s control panel is simplicity personified a tone control, a volume control, Hi and LO input and thats your lot. The CUB 8 houses an 8 Celestion driver.

Using a CUB 8 is straightforward, plug in, dial in your tone and wind the volume up a little and the 6V6GTs respond in a bright, bouncy and brilliant fashion. Drive the output section harder and the increased 2nd and 3rd order harmonics give the tone a pronounced bottom end and a lovely lower mid.

Otherwise a good video, but too much irrelevant speech.

... sounds so much better on single coils, middle and neck... humbucker obviously hotter but loses so much natural tone. 2 mins 30 secs before we get in to the sound of guitar and amp?

it does have an external jack to power a cab

@jasonism123 The amp can most certainly handle it. What you should do (what Laney should have done) is use it to drive a cabinet with a bigger speaker or speakers. Pull the internal speaker wires off the speaker and use a set of jumpers to connect it to a 1/4" plug, and you can drive any cabinet that is the right impedance. Drive a 2x12 with this, and put a good condenser a foot back and a little off-center, and you'll be in heaven! Hell, the champ 600 has the internal speaker on a 1/4" jack!
