Roland Street Cube Part 3

Demo of the Roland Street Cube with a Taylor 412ce LTD Rosewood/Spruce acoustic guitar (original expression system). I briefly look at the JC clean setting, but mostly stay on my fav for acoustic - the black panel setting. It just warms up the sound of an acoustic pickup. For acoustic effects I mostly use reverb or delay, sometimes with just a smidge of chorus. The Roland Street Cube is a popular battery powered amp used for small jam sessions, small singer songwriter ('coffeehouse') gigs, and is often seen being used by buskers. (Demo was with a Beyerdynamic MC930 mic.)

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@gauravdevadiga4155]

my amp is proper when i connect guitar my jc clean,blackpanel,brit combo doest work what will be reason is it guitar problem or coble problem pls help me

[@BlueSkyGuitar2]

Not sure - I'd check the settings on your amp, and read the manual for the amp to see if there are any suggestions. Also, you can take it to a music store or a friend to check it out - it would help to see it in person. Good luck!

[@zurvey]

Thank you for these video reviews. I'm looking for something to play acoustic bass through for park / street performance. I wish I could get a sense of how it would do from somewhere.

[@BlueSkyGuitar2]

+UK2AK Not sure how it would work for bass - Roland also makes a micro cube for bass and a larger cube street that might work if this one doesn't. Good luck :-)

[@Bryt25]

Bass rx is pretty good. I use it with a micro POG for some deeper sounds.

[@bungalowbluesman]

great reviews - thank you. i’m going to try one tomorrow as i understand the instrument input also works well with harmonica - im looking for a bluesy/slightly broken signal at modest volumes. cheers.

[@BlueSkyGuitar2]

Haven't tried it myself, but the amp seems like it would work well for that. Good luck!

[@Robt.Velasquez]

Thank you soooo much for the three part series. Tons of useful info. Roland should hire you as a product specialist! As nice as this item is. I won’t be getting it. But I can see it being a perfect fit for countless singer/songwriters or people wanting a very decent practice amp. Oh...sweet playing too!!!

[@BlueSkyGuitar2]

Thank you very much!

[@kethleenmeirelles6285]

do you think this is a good one for busking? now a days I mean, because i can't aford a EX right now so...i'm thinking about get this one... worths?

[@BlueSkyGuitar2]

Used it for busking before, worked fine

[@jamalarakian4189]

I use instrument preset and it sound very thin for my acoustic guitar. do you agree?

[@BlueSkyGuitar2]

Yes, I do not like it either. Try JC Clean or Black Panel; they sound better to me. Good luck!

[@MrMarcoAlvarado]

Hello can aynbody say sth abouth the usage of the foot pedals, What pedals can you use? How does it work generally? Thanks!

[@BlueSkyGuitar2]

Hello Marco, the Street Cube has built in effects, but you could have an effects pedal between your guitar and the Street Cube just like any other amp.

[@MrMarcoAlvarado]

@@BlueSkyGuitar2 But can you switch between let's say clean and brit combo or any other other dist sound with an external pedal??

[@BlueSkyGuitar2]

A footswitch can turn effects and delay/reverb on/off (and also mute the mic channel). It does not switch between amp sounds though. For clean/dirty, you could use a cleaner amp mode and get an overdrive or other dirt pedal.

[@aftabmoin8688]

noob question. Is this amp loud enough to practice with drums in a small soundproof room?

[@BlueSkyGuitar2]

Generally, no. It probably wouldn't be a good mix. If you had a quiet drummer playing with brushes - then sure.

[@BlueSkyGuitar2]

PS - also, it's always a good idea to make sure you wear earplugs to reduce the volume when you're in any loud environment.

[@cocotico9997]

how many watts?

[@BlueSkyGuitar2]

+Pedro Chacon I found something that says it's 5 Watts. Wattage can be misleading though, so the best thing is usually to try one out or observe someone else who's using one in a live context.

[@cocotico9997]

thanks )
