    Roland Cube-15XPublished on 02/15/07 at 12:57

    15 watt transistor amp with a guitar input, an auxiliary input and output for connecting headphones or register.

    -A volume knob for the clean.
    you press a button and go to the boosted channel, which has
    One-input knob to select four different types of loadings.
    -Gain.
    -The volume.

    And three-band equalizer. That's it. The bare minimum, what, worth 5.

    UTILIZATION

    The configuration could not be simpler: you want the sound clear? Use the clean channel, and turn the knobs right on your scraper. It happens very quickly to the crunch, to 4 / 10 I think.

    UTILIZATION

    The configuration could not be simpler: you want the sound clear? Use the clean channel, and turn the knobs right on your scraper. It happens very quickly to the crunch, to 4 / 10 I think.
    You want a saturated? You head for the lead channel, and there are 4 choices:

    A fairly well-oiled Overdrive for the Blues.
    A distortion-hard for.
    -A "Metal" to the heavy.
    -A "Metal Stack" to the metal a little harder.

    With regard to the sound, I would come earlier, as the manual, it is unnecessary to possible, the amplifier provides a minimum of choice, the advantage is that we do not get lost .

    I put 5 because I do not really like this amp too childish, the choice is restricted. What's more, the amp is really ugly.

    SOUNDS

    We have the sound ..... In clear channel, the sound is fine for an amp of this quality ... Nothing more to complain about, it's good.
    But when we go to the Lead channel, then it's another story.
    The best way (the one that offers the most audible sound) and how "Overdrive" which, with a gain not too pushed, gives a good sound. It was not the feeling that goes with it but it is quite acceptable.
    But once you push the gain a little more, the sound turns to mush sound awful.
    Mode "distortion", it offers a sound dirty and sizzling, and quickly turns into mashed inaudible sound when pushed to gain more than 5 / 10.
    Mode "Metal", it is like the previous one, even worse .... It's disgusting at best. Lamentable.
    On how "metal stack" is a distortion already better, the sound is slightly reduced, but already less "pure". Here we can already push the knob a little more gain.

    On this amp, the EQ is bad. Means not really ring the difference (it's very light, and it is not the major flaw of this amp). Treble out very badly, and the slides are not made very well understood, is as unpleasant as possible.

    In short, this amp offers the slurry sound for the price, except in clear channel and Overdrive and Metal Stack, and again. Dismal 2 of 10.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for six months, I bought one on impulse when I knew nothing at all guitar equipment and I wanted to play the heavy metal right now, and of course, like any beginner in its infancy I did not immediately seen that this amp was pitiful, and indeed, in the shop, I chose not to look at other amps from other manufacturers. I have tried no other model before its acquisition, however, I of course tried other after, and I can say loud and clear is that in this price range, giving a single example very simple, I would say that Hughes and Kettner Edition Blue 15W outperforms the well, and that for that price was worth more to turn to the H and K or Vox. This amp is the slurry noise inaudible, and I have done miserably in the buying. To say, now I am wary of Roland amps.
    If I had to make another choice, at present, I would turn the amps to be more powerful, or to a Hughes and Kettner 15W or to a Vox Valvetronix AD15VT. But certainly not that, then novice, go your way, do not make the same mistake as me, you asshole this shit, it must be said.
