A BIGGER, BETTER CUBE

Roland’s Popular Amp Family Grows With the New CUBE-60

Los Angeles, CA, July 23, 2004—The new CUBE-60 brings Roland’s acclaimed CUBE amplifier line to new levels and larger venues. The CUBE-60 is wickedly powerful for its size — the most powerful and versatile CUBE you’ve ever heard, thanks to the newly developed 12" speaker, specially tuned amplifier, nine potent COSM amp models, pro digital effects, and versatile outputs.

Included in the CUBE-60’s COSM Amp lineup are nine models — JC Clean, Brit Combo, R-Fier, and more, all of which faithfully reproduce the inspired nuances and characteristics of popular classic and modern amps, down to the preamp and circuits, speaker and outputs. The new velocity-sensitive “Dyna Amp” model enables smooth and expressive tone transitions based on picking dynamics — pick softly for a transparent, clean sound, for example, then unleash a hi-gain, overdriven tone monster by picking more aggressively.

Six of Roland’s respected world-class effects are built into the CUBE-60: chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, an independent delay/reverb processor, and a separate 4-band EQ. There’s a newly equipped Bright switch (for JC Clean) and a Presence knob, and three footswitch inputs for switching channels and turning effects on/off.

The CUBE-60 offers a variety of output options for recording and live performance, including Recording Out/Phones, Line out, and Ext Speaker out. Additionally, the Tuner out jack makes it easy to connect an outboard tuner, such as BOSS’s popular TU-Series.
