All user reviews for the Roland Cube-15X

Amp transistor modeling
15 Watts actually available
1 instrument input
Two channels: a clean based on the JC120 brand, 1 channel emulation with adjustable gain for each type.
An "effect section" independently include: reverb, chorus, tremolo, delay, phaser
1 headphone jack

UTILIZATION

Very simple to learn, there is no need the manual ... but just in case, it is clear and provides examples for the sounds "recognizable" in 30 Seconds!

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.

Ct CHARACTERISTICS while adj t said, not much to add ...

UTILIZATION

No need to use manual is a childlike simplicity. You press a button, turn knobs and two to three round is played!

SOUNDS

I've been playing recently, but a little of everything and especially rock. These range from AC / DC, Red Hot via Audioslave, Metallica or softphone, and, without being exceptional, it may sound nice. I use a Squier Fat Start, and I am satisfied plutt. Bon Obviously this is not a Mesa, but for 100, the quality-price ratio seems to me good trs.
Another advantage is power. These are 15 Watts "beefy" there is in this amp and I rarely Exceeds 1.5 to 2 at home, and I have used for dj rpter once .. . He accepted without hesitation!

OVERALL OPINION

I for a year, roughly.
In what j'apprcie ... his potato for a 15 W, its ease of use, sobritsimplicit (it's really a "cube" What!).
What j'apprcie less ... the lack of effects may be. And the two effects "metal", which are good but are very similar.
The quality-price ratio seems good trs.
With exprience ... I do not know. I have not really had the opportunity to test the amps in the same CATEGORY difficult to pronounce. But I think yes, for the same budget I would do this choice.

A transistor amplifier, 15W, pretty basic connections: between a simple
a headphone jack
Auxiliary input

cot settings, the amp has 2 channels distinct
-Clean (pr obviously play in clean ...) with volume control [...]
-Lead with four preset (overdrive, distortion, metal, metal stack) + gain and volume

we add has a equalizer (bass, mid, aspen)
a key practical enough, "power squeezer" that can switch between 15 and 5W instantannment

Despite the low price (100), we can-even when complaining about a lack of effects (chorus, reverb, tremolo ...) and preset on the clean channel. In this respect, his little ERRF micro-cube is much better, mm if it is sorely lacking power (can not have tt ^ ^)

UTILIZATION

In view of the can and adjustment effects available, the configuration is indeed simple trs
on the other hand for sound worthy of the name, we must be patient and play on the regulation of the guitar as much as those of the amp

the manual is in English, we have already seen more clearly but the simplicity of this lightweight inconvnient ratrape 15X ...

SOUNDS

This is the second weakness of the 15X, with its lack of effect:

ds that you can push a gain, drooling and his grin becoming acute
However, staying ds rglage THE FIRST half of the gain, you get hot and are quite smooth, but do not rely on the preset dernire lead (metal stack) that is square ment ugly.

s'amliore lgrement sound when using the power squeezer and that it increases the volume consquence: s'attnuent and parasites are less acute but still screaming Submitted

looking good, so we can get sounds "pass" and not too cheap dgueu pr; personnelemnt, I play a lot on the preset "metal" and I get a correct result

I play an Ibanez Ergodyne dveloppe that a good sound, which provides a good compromise with an amp sounds frankly means cot

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 6 months, 3 prmires lead presets are quite enjoyable to use
we regret the lack of adjustment on the clean and effects
I had the opportunity to play on a micro cube with the same guitar sound and more beautiful with more effects and rglages available
qualitprix the report is okay
pr remain around 100, the micro-cube is lgrement suprieur.Personnelement I would not hesitate to move 50 over the pr 20X, more versatile in tt still cheap

Everything has been said

UTILIZATION

Everything is simple on this little thing

SOUNDS

I play blues rock rock and plays with hard.je prs custom tele mex and strat us.Je distos hate this amp, for against the clean is magique.J 'I left a little trick in the tips will see. With this trick either with or without a headphone ... it's the great slaughter.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a year and I barrouetté everywhere, chalet camping, with my small practice bassiste.Il is robust to all the épreuves.Pour developed with your musicians without leaving the weapons as it I poil.evidemment is used from time to time but the least distos possible.pour terms of price and $ 100.00 Canadian bin is given.

See below!

UTILIZATION

The configuration is it simple?

Yes very simple! To clean but mostly thanks to distortion (or cause) of the 4 predefined sounds.
The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

I do not remember having had a manual, but t'facon not need!

SOUNDS

Well I tell you I really do not AIM this amp.
The sound is bad in general, see very very ugly! The four predefined sound virtually limited to these four amp sounds since the equalization is almost enexistante.
The overdrive is not too bad for an amp to price, the distortion lacks punch and attack not really .. For the metal, bof ^ ^. The canal is really a metal stack banish the sound is very cold! I really feel to hear a gressill tl ..
The big point is the possitive clean, I find really successful. Once the equalization faois being very nearly useless, it will jou with the regulation of the guitar.
If there was an effects loop I would not be made a score above 3 is stupid!

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
3 years is my first amp.

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The +: The clear sound, very successful for the price.
the -: EQ inexistanste
Channel lead very bad in general.
Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Nah, I should have ..

How do you report qualitprix?
Pretty good .. finally

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...

Not really no, it can be pretty when you start and after has played with a pedal ameloir but that's it.

transistor .. A clean switchable by a switch on the amp has a dedicated channel OD / Disto

UTILIZATION

amp ... 3 knob EQ, a headphone jack ... until we manage the!

SOUNDS

The clean channel sounds great (for an amp of this price / this size)

the distortion and other OD require a little work ... contrary to what jai read, the EQ is effective ...

with an OD or distortion, just down the bass and midrange and the treble up and it sounds pretty good ...

for metal, too much treble and a lot of bass and midrange and a lot of gain as

metal stack for low and medium ... thoroughly acute 0, gain a background (what else !)... and it goes rather well

I play everything and frankly for the price ... we have a good range of sounds ...

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.

Here we are with the good transistor, such as other peavey and H & K had managed to disgust us there to disaine years .... except that here: we do not monkey monstrous distortion, able to please a teen beginner who only listens to "Life Is Peachy" (I am 12 years late I know), but a form of modeling is quite convaicante ! yes!



UTILIZATION

téssiures plunge us the sound of 60's way merrily up vox mesa aggressive passing through winks at Marshalls JCM, plus guitarists Louvres Rivoli station that could connect their piezo in this machine for hours without any problems electrical outlet, because this amp just take a very long time on batteries! (Times 6!)
It is possible to accommodate a microphone to voice (eg for demos!)


SOUNDS

If the amp is very small, there remains a snarling beast at will with lots of tricks up its sleeve: the effects that may be of gadgets are well made and very easy to adjust, you can mix some of them to get sounds very nice: several friends have been tempted to dub the Roland in concert ... say it!


OVERALL OPINION

Oh an amp working with CONNECT is simple! on top: the input sacred! on the bottom of the object: the DC / IN (and the power button ') and the headphone output and an output ext'jack male ...

I can only recommend this very good amp! But ... everyone already knows ...

It is the only cube that is analog, I looked into it is an old type of circuit, nothing to do with the 20x-30 (I also removed their time of course). Besides, it was easy to guess, no entry on the cosmetic device ...

I had the other 2 for a moment, I'm going to compare it with the 20x, you wonder if it's worth it to spend more eh.

Only improvement over the 15 cubic short, the entry always helpful but the volume control on the source obligatory it goes right in power.
Second change, and it is not at all an improvement, power squeezer, which dirties the sound, ote the bass and the gain grows like bees, yuck.

15w, 4ohms hp, no footswitch jack or effects loop or nothing. Injury to the loop, it costs nothing to analog.

Standing quite annoying buzz in the apartment, often bizarrely case amps so-called room ...
The volume of the drive channel is not progressive enough, as the other two cube microcube and besides, it sucks.

UTILIZATION

The equalizer is well done, distos boss pedals are placed before the clean sound, so like the real thing.
Easy to have a good sound, easy to have a bad (just put on metal stack!) More ...

It is dry, obviously, but also so hot with the volume is full, pleasant.

Good for work done.

SOUNDS

Compared to 20x, the same concept but warmer, it's clear the net.
For the rest it lacks a little pizzazz, like his brother, but three good distos are detailed and good in the midrange, not too much gain but a great flexibility available / heat. An amp that is centered mid-treble, efficient but not very attractive because ...

General lack of pep, it's clear that with a little hp bin here, but it is a working amp z'auraient could therefore make an effort.

The 20X offers remote control over effects, and does not sound so much worse in the end, only colder and with this strange color in the low-specific digital media.
Both are from the same school, pedal-to-clear sound, and sound much better sustained volume.

The 30 is another animal that sounds constant regardless of volume, more adapted to life in captivity, I think.

OVERALL OPINION

This, compared to 20x it's not obvious issue, but that the issue is remote-effects ...
To amplify a multi-effects, the sound is very clear, warm and round, with no additional codec is always better.
As what I know, it's weird without reverb and it ch ... to change the channel.

One thing is sure, for the price difference I prefer 15x, even buy a multi pti if necessary.

I wanted to throw deep analogue but this amp too lack of pep. Try on a 4x12 at the local and I will update if the place is. I know, ze cat Curiosity Killed ...

So act on a 4x12 celestion g12t75 (4ohms total), and the result is very disappointing, much worse than the cube itself ... It's surprising because all the little amp that I plugged into a big box 's are found very much improved but this is not the case, we remain very focused and no pep in the midrange.

So I think there are better things to do for a 15w, but at the cost of this cube is not clear, it offers a consistent palette of sounds and a nice clear sound plus a good equalizer. A sound basis for any multi-effect then. And you can always run for it defunct himself, Roland's reinforced concrete!

Just a word on the headphones, I have never been so loud, a real horror. The only analog

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 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.
