Roland Cube Street EX (opened)

ROLAND CUBE

The Roland Cube is probably one of the best and most popular transistor modelling machines on the market. Their indisputable advantage is their high quality COSM modelling, thanks to which they are able to simulate a wide range of sounds based on the greatest legends among guitar amplifiers, superior equipment, absolute reliability, ability to work well with effects boxes and at the same time very reasonable price. Add it all together and you get an instrument that can hardly look for competition...

CUBE STREET EX

This model features an end amp that is capable of delivering up to 2x 25 watts of power, and is fitted with two 8-inch speakers and two 2-inch tweeters. It offers a guitar or other instrument channel with 6 guitar simulations and an independent microphone channel. Powered by the included adapter or batteries, it can be played virtually anytime, anywhere

The microphone or instrument channel control section can be found first on the top. The signal can be fed into it via the Combo-Jack XLR connector, which can be switched between microphone and line level. Its volume can be controlled, of course, and you can work with the three-band EQ and the Reverb potentiometer, which activates and adjusts this effect.

Next to it are the elements needed to control the microphone or guitar channel. On the bottom row here, next to the Combo-Jack XLR input, you'll find a switch between the four modes of the guitar sound, the instrument mode and the mic preamp potentiometers adjusting its distortion and volume. With modes based on legendary guitar amps or Boss's most popular distortion effects, the Cube offers everything from beautiful clean sounds, including acoustic guitar simulation, to light overdrive and proper thick hi-gain.

In the rest of the control panel you'll then find a 3-band EQ, i.e. Bass, Middle and Treble potentiometers that adjust the character of the tone, two effect unit controls and Volume. The master section, in addition to the overall volume control, contains a jack for connecting external devices such as CD or mp3 players, a stereo Line-In, a battery level indicator and a power mode switch. The Cube also includes a built-in tuner, stereo Line-Out and stereo Link-Out.

The Roland Cube are very well equipped machines whose sound quality leaves most of their competitors far behind. If you are looking for a versatile and affordable machine, the Roland Cube is the right choice.
