    well of course it is not the top top, but for 150 Roros, bah I demand to see who manages to find better
    I like the metal stack, and the overdrive
    I regret not being able to connect a pedal
    small flat on the EQ, which is not too effective

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 3 months, and although the shock is (very strong)
    as mentioned above, c boring to have to get closer to the amp to go from clean to saturated a pedal would be Dubien
    if I buy a new, non This now, because I would take not a combo, and no transistor, but who wants unmec begin, and who wants something good, durable and resalable (that of Roland after all!) bah I would say "no man hesitated, dark! j'te sell mine!"

    A good little amp

    Roland Cube-15XPublished on 10/12/11 at 10:06
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    15W Transistor
    2 channels (Clean / saturated), a 3-band EQ.
    The Distortion channel has 4 preset sounds: Overdrive, Distortion, Metal, Metal Stack.

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple configuration, the four predetermined distorted sounds can be adjusted with 3-band equalizer, which is his job properly.
    For a small amp in this range, Roland does not care of the mouth of the world.
    15 W is not very powerful, but I happened to play on as a group, when I started, if everyone does not outbid in the noise, hear me.

    SOUNDS

    I do not use that channel "Clear", and my distos effects come from a Boss ME50 multi-effects. I found a small integrated effects loop (chorus, delay, reverb ...) is missing, because the purpose of this little amp is working, it lacks some sonic palette. As against the clear sound quality is good and stomp on it is grafted returned!
    I do not remember too much distos, I have tried them last time but I have not found tip-top.
    The 3-band EQ is pretty good compared to other amps of the same range. Besides the sound that comes out of this amp is much higher than that of many other small amps the same price.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for almost 7 years. I never had any problems with. I put it on a medium to give a little height to the sound, it's going very well. I play with an Ibanez RG 1570 prestige, well when I play alone I use this amp!
    I have a very good overall opinion for this amp for the price I honestly do not think that the competition does better. Forget the small Marshall MG who do not care about the world, the Cube 15 is a quality / price unbeatable.

The report price is average quality because I can find a cheap relative to what it brings now I do not refer this choice because I put 7 as its a silent said the equalizer is no point in the disto no ass trash the other distortion that is not terrible and poor quality relative prices

    SOUNDS

    The sound here is the problem. Despite its low power (18watts) can quite measure up to facillement drums, another guitar, a singer and a bass.

    As against the clean sound is my opinion not good rev ... the acquisition of a chorus pedal may be ncssaire if you really want to use it. Note that the sound with a microphone trs good!

    On the effects, new BMOL. Premire, you can not plug the footswitch this amp ... Do not even think a change of tone for the songs ... Deuxime BMOL for me, only the effect of "Metal" really of interest, if you want to play by the old German Trash uen cellar ... The sound of "Metal" is pretty good even when (compare for example some of the effects of Fender amp), and raise the quality gnral sound of the amp.

    The sound quality is pretty good gnral: no grsillements, little interference, ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    It'll soon be a year since I use it and I'm still pretty happy: powerful enough to use that I made, compact, good enough sound distortion ... Brief play hard rock, heavy metal or even the Trash, it will be a good buy for a trs guitar beginners. We can both play rhythm on it as solos, and even when they agree not Mlal.

    For a price slightly suprieur € 110 this amp should therefore young aficionados of APRS pass rainy afternoon in a basement ... If c'tait refer, for cons, I think that I prfrerai his great ERRF, the Cube 30, which has better sound and better effects

    So in conclusion, if your beginners, small budget, this is your amp!!

    SOUNDS

    So this amp suits all styles and sounds are crystal clear even cold (it's not worth not to play with mittens I love this valve loved our bass player lol) so yes it's cold but a beginner it's great, because the sound makes every note precisely the same time every so shit lol

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have this amp for 2 years it's never crashed or anything I started on a 10 watt marshall and frankly the sound is different and the most precise fine for learning solo is against super.par for group play is the M. .. ed E!!
    if it's for fun with friends I would recommend if you start a kind of tips come in a small behringer V-Tone GMX and I is more and that's good but the price still goes to 200 to 120euros but the difference is that the group will behringer but sound less fine. Perso for some time I play on a half stack with a Hughes and Kettner Peavy valve king 100 head, a silver and a Zoom G2 drgon then c ' is 2 good range above but ... After this issue of motivation and money! ^ ^

    This amp delivers a transistor has a puisssnace moderate, practical chanbre or play in your living room. At most a small consert in a small room not too noisy.
    There are sound "clean" or are Eput to adjust the "treble" and "bass" channel and a sound full, or you can select an overdrive, a distortion, a metal or a "metal stack ". one can adjust the gain of the saturation, but it was a power loss is lower Lorqui gain (bad point). But the fact of having four different types of distortion, does not require you to rotate as often ca knob as often as it to believe it.

    The manual? not read ...

    Note that for connecting between the other instrum (guitar, drums, PC ...) and the output can be useful to register ...

    8 / 10, I should totally

    SOUNDS

    I love the Blues and Rock ... Ben currently has for me, I play with my Squier M80, my ME50 multi effects and my Jamman, and I personally m'clate ... Obviously it's not a good amp lamp (although I was told, but honestly, I've never heard an amp lamp) but for my pleasure, it is really good ... Before I had my Multi purpose, I used a lot of blues overdrive type ... Now I RULES on its fairly neutral and I leave to my multi purpose.
    I also use it with an old folk on which I added a shadow to micro rosette of Slide, and frankly with a good lil crunch, it is tripas ...
    Regarding the sound I like less, the metal overdrive ... but hey it's already a music that I like less, so I'm not really objective.

    8 / 10 for the neutral and the Blues OD

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a year and a half, he never lach and I had no problem with ...
    Regarding power, I never Exceeds 5 / 10 and usually I play 3 / 10 and it is enough, APRS with a drummer, it can be a different story. ..
    This is my first combo and I have not tried one before ...
    I pay 120 and IMHO is a good qualitprix.
    Is what I would do this choice? it's a good question ... I think so because for beginners (and progress) I think you have an amp and not too simple typ. I do not see the interest of the whole lamp for beginners, or if it's a 100W to play for fun ... APRS to play with other zicos, 30 or even 60 W may be a solution ... but it is true that for 140 you can get the Epiphone Valve Junior (5W all-tube) ... brief ... everyone must make his choice.

    8 / 10 because he never fails, and I use every day without anything I blame him

    SOUNDS

    Contrary to a previous opinion, I find this amp rather homogeneous and effective in all styles.
    With a good instrument, the clean channel is super accurate, clear and snapping at will. Arpeggios, casseroles and voicing jazz really stand out from the small hp. My semi-hollow Ibanez and my Fender Start are not distorted by the sound of that channel.
    On the other channel is the world of emulation. There is good and less good. Nothing catastrophic as it is reasonable on the gain.Ca drool a little on the heavy saturation in overdrive, but is rather réussi.Il must also adjust the knob to prevent serious effect "cave". Do not forget the original purpose of this amp which is the repetition and the work of the instrument. In this context, it is perfect because it really has a wide range of sounds nice and if you want to go further, we stay on the clean channel and there's distortion favorite branch, the Wah-Wah of the devil ... etc. and here's the really good: good potato assured.
    In the same vein, if one branch of a pale copy of Start and you want to play death metal, you are exposed to disappointment!
    This also applies to a Mesa Boogie-EUR 4000.
    There is always something out of this amp exploitable. I was fine grind, I have not managed to get sounds "disgusting" to vomit as claimed by another user ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 6 months, and I can not get enough so it is convenient. This combo is light and always available to send the right sound. Do not just push him into a corner because it is not his vocation.
    Its value for money is perfect under the concurrence.Marshall, H and K, Vox, Fender and are no better, only the Line 6 Spider 15 is above in terms of quality but the clean channel emulations of the Roland surpasses.
    Here, by plugging a proper scratching you can really have fun with this amp.

    I would do this choice because there is no more versatile on the market.

    What j'apprcie less ... the lack of effects may be. And the two effects "metal", which are good but are very similar.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I do not use it for a very long time ... but it's been a while since I played so the stuff I've always had and jen! ... it's an amp that I chose to play at home only without make everyone deaf ... so just for leisure, given the price I do not see what they could add a footswitch if not ... but for me ca me would not really useful, because just to play a home / travailler...si it does not hang on (animals) based regulation of V eq .. kind or another .. that sounds pretty good. I do not know if I buy it but I do not have a bad impression ... he excels in its clear, does not claim to offer the best ... away from the .. but it provides a satisfactory quality to tackle any style .. and that's not bad.

    Roland Cube-15XPublished on 02/14/10 at 13:58
    The Roland Cube-15X is a 15 watt practice amplifier with a good amount of control for a smaller amp. The amp is solid state based with a single 8" speaker. As far as connections go, it has a 1/4" input for your instrument and a 1/4" output as well as a mini-jack for plugging in a CD player or something like that.

    UTILIZATION

    The make up of the Roland Cube-15X is pretty basic, but the amp does allow for a good amount of control over your sound, especially for a small, 15 watt amp. It has a three band equalizer as well as a lead section with four presets and gain and volume parameters. It also has a button for power squeezing and a clean volume knob. I've never seen a manual n…

It has a three band equalizer as well as a lead section with four presets and gain and volume parameters. It also has a button for power squeezing and a clean volume knob. I've never seen a manual nor have I ever had a need to check one out as everything is generally self explanatory.

    SOUNDS

    The Roland Cube-15X is certainly one of the more versatile guitar amps in the 15 watt range. It is definitely a cool thing to have built in distortion in a variety of different modes. I've used the amp for strictly practicing with a Fender Jazzmaster, and don't think that I would recommend it for any sort of use - certainly not for live shows and recording with it would be a stretch. This is really a practice amp for the player looking for a small, portable amp with a big, versatile sound.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I can't say that I would recommend the Roland Cube 15X for anyone other than the player looking for a small amp to practice on. It is really a beginner's amp, but has a good enough sound quality that I can see it being used by experienced users for practicing as well. The price isn't too cheap or too expensive for a 15 watt amp, if anything I'd say it is a good deal considering all the built in amenities. As far as practicing amps go, the Roland Cube-15X should be on everyone's list who is in the market for one.
