A quick, bit rough, demo from a giddy newbie to the Roland Blues Cube amp series. ( Recorded with no pedals, plugged straight from guitar into amp. )This is the Roland Blues Cube Hot, with 30W max, but a power selector switch for 0.5W, 5W, 10W & 30W. I always have been a tube amp guy, and for all the obvious reasons. But, I wanted to check out something small, easy to transport, and something still gig worthy. I was especially wanting something that would work well with my Slide Guitar tone. I needed that sustaining overdrive for slide work, but I didn't want to have to use a bunch of gain to get there, and loose the bite and articulation in the process. This amp has an inspiring clear overdrive that provides lots of sustain, but without sounding over-compressed or harsh. It's a good thing when you plug into an amp and like it immediately, and that was the case with this Roland Blues Cube Hot.
These Roland Blues Cube Hot amps are certainly worth checking out. This recording was done by playing a YouTube backing track video and playing along with it while recording using my iPhone 6 for the recording device. That's all we've got!
