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
