written permission of ROLAND CORPORATION.

• 30-watt output, high-performance, DSP guitar amp with built-in 25 cm (10-inch)

speaker.

• Offers nine different COSM amp types

Amps included: JC CLEAN, ACOUSTIC, BLACK PANEL, BRITISH COMBO,

TWEED, CLASSIC STACK, METAL STACK, R-FIER STACK

Composite Object Sound Modeling (

COSM

) is Roland’s innovative and powerful

sound modeling technology. COSM analyzes the many factors that make up the

original sound, such as the electrical and physical characteristics of the original,

and then produces a digital model that can reproduce the same sound.

• Channels can be switched between CLEAN and LEAD. Channel switching can be

done via optional footswitch.

• The CUBE-30X includes Roland’s Power Squeezer function. This feature enables

you to reduce the maximum output from 30 watts to 2 watts at the press of a single

button. When switched on, Power Squeezer reproduces the distortion of a fully-

cranked power amp along with a great sound, regardless of the volume level, but

with a 2-watt output that is easy to handle in the home.

• A tuner function is also included. This feature allows you to tune your guitar

while the instrument is connected to the CUBE-30X.

• Includes easy-to-use, three-band equalizer (Bass/Middle/Treble).

• Onboard EFX section includes 4 types of digital effect, chorus, flanger, phaser and

tremolo; footswitch (optional) can be used to switch EFX on and off.

• Separate “Delay” and “Reverb” effects provided in addition to the EFX.

• Equipped with “RECORDING OUT jack” convenient for use in recording and for

use as headphone out.

• The unit is equipped with an external input jack, which is convenient for your

practice sessions. Use this to play along with sounds from CD players and MP3

players.

Sample Settings Alternative Metal The perfect sound for heavy, sharp riffs. Select the high-gain R-FIER amp, then use the equalizer to boost the low end even more. Used with a humbucking pickup in the rear position, it results in an extreme distortion effect. Plus, you can add a long delay to use this as a lead sound with great sustain. SELECT : LEAD Adding a short delay produces a doubling sound like that from two performers playing the same phrases simultaneously.
