Current Amps
Roland Cube 20X
My Brother-in-law bought this at the same time as he purchased the Tele, and said I was welcome to use it. Like his other guitar gear, he said I could keep it when he moved to Malaysia.
For quite a while I was very unimpressed with this thing. I could never get a good sound from it on any of the gain settings. It wasn’t until a few years later it was that i realized that was my beginner playing at fault and, after I had learned to play better, I could make it sound pretty good. Having said that, the gain settings aren’t amazing and, because it’s quite a small unit, it has quite a “boxy” sound. But it goes plenty loud for a practice amp, and it’s built to withstand the apocalypse!
I keep thinking I should sell this as I hardly use it any more. But it’s really a nice little amp and it’s not really taking any any space at the moment. I actually love the “JC Clean” setting on it. I mainly have used it for summer weekend or evening noodles whilst sitting in the conservatory (I really should do more of that). It’s also been really useful for local events: I lent it to the guitar player in the live band we had supporting our local village Panto production a few years ago, and it easily kept up with the rest of the band.
Now I have the Yahama THR10II I may consider selling it on, but I’m in no hurry.
Cheers,
Keith
