Boss Cube Street 2 - The Best Just Got Better

[@paulbartell38]

If you were out busking & you played what you played in this video, you would bring joy to peoples lives,mate. FAB!!! 😀

You have a gift Mr Simpson, it's all in your kind Heart and Soul.. Never change...

[@kcsvantasticvoyages9729]

I discovered you on a pedal show at Anderton's Music, boy I am glad!!!Fantastic player and advice to us.

[@UncleDanBand64]

I have the original. The bigger one and the Cube 2 in Red. I did a gig at a wedding last Saturday. It was a fairly large venue. Drummer, Bass and Acoustic Electric. I played my Tele straight into the Boss no pedals. No mic. The thing just killed it. Also ran my vocal mic through it. The vocals were slightly over powered but, still in the mix. The guy on acoustic was running his vocal, guitar and the kick drum through the Bose 32 with the big sub. So there was some volume. Guitar wise it has zero issues staying with a live drummer. Love it. Thinking about a second one to slave to it with the I link cable.

[@soniaterhovanessian7198]

What a beautiful soul you are. Thank you. Best review. Wonderfully sensitive musicianship and creativity. Hope the murky waters settle so you may offer your music to the outside world, it's in dire need of softness and harmony. Blessings.

[@tinythrottle6186]

I don’t know if you’ll ever see this comment/request with it being an older video. Having recently found your channel I’ve become an instant fan. Your honest reviews and sheer non snobbery when it comes to gear etc very much appeals to me. The ambient soundscapes you create in this video in particular go beyond music for me and becomes a vehicle for taking me to far off places in my mind. Please please please do a video into how you create your sound as I’d love to follow in your footsteps and create my own sweet tones. Col.

[@thedavesimpson]

I have many vids on that on my channel. :)

[@tinythrottle6186]

@@thedavesimpson I’ve seen all the sound like vids. Peter green tones etc I was just after an over view as to pedals amp strings guitar tonal settings etc… if you haven’t guessed by now I’m a bit of a novice. I’ve been playing for years but doing the usual rhythm stuff only just venturing out into the world of soloing and creation etc.. you get the gist.

[@Rotceh-r4g]

Dave, as always, great guitar playing, particularly the acoustic piece. Nice video. Kind regards from America!

[@AriaMehr648]

First of all, your reviews are always helpfull and kinda come from your heart. I got this lovely amp 6 month ago, absolutely love it. Use it as everything you think, playing guitar, setar, vocal, movie, music... . It is realy PA system.

[@AllTheRain]

Loving the ambience and strat tones brother 🎉

[@martinremiet5626]

Dave, thank you very much for the heavenly good content ❤ I think a part two of an acoustic guitar through this amp would be right😉

[@robertcapewell2788]

Loving the strat tones Dave,

[@jpalberthoward9]

The first thing I noticed was the clean tone. Most of those portables only do the fuzzbox mode. They sound like there's a Big Muff on all the time. I thought they were all wretched until now. Some of my friends want me to come and busk with them. I've been hesitant to go because I didn't want to sound awful, with the bridge pickup on all the time, pounding as hard as I can, and hearing nothing but germanium transistor fuzz like it's 1968. It looks like this rig is the answer. We could even make a live mix on the MacBook and Logic, and not only record, but patch the input monitor through one of these, and get a very respectable live mix. My only possible doubt about this is if we could get a bass sound that wasn't flubby or farty. Logic probably has enough compression and EQ to deal with this. Another thing I love to do is to pair up the Tweed Princeton with another very clean amp that has a strong mid scoop and plenty of brightness. This makes for a very 3 dimensional guitar tone, and sounds bigger without being louder. I call this the "Sparkler and Growler" setup. Think Keith Richards with the Tweed Twin and the Ampeg V22, only nowhere near as loud. From what I can see from your demo, this is very much of a thing that's worth looking into. I'm gonna have to go and sort one out. Thanks for the demo. It was first rate. You're a hell of a good player, and my guess is you're one of the good guys. Hats off and CHEERS!

[@Dantoviich]

I love Dave's reviews on gear, his style of making them is just unique

[@atb1325]

Dave this was a great demo of this amp! You played awesome also bro!

[@anthonyheading4569]

You just keep raising the bar with these intros, Genius.

[@jwjeffrey]

It's getting to the point where you won't need a 100 watt marshall anymore, great demo as always.

[@thedavesimpson]

Theres always a place for 100 watts. :)

[@MichaelStoneham]

Yep amps like this are great can even use them on stage in a band straight out to pa and everyone on stage can hear you. Have a mobile phone on stand to make tweeks to effects etc on fly. Thinking about getting one to replace my current busking amp so versatile.

[@TheBhannah]

Very cool … nice demo !

I swear you cost me money when I watch your videos, I will never learn, I will never be able to play anything like you, I recon when I watch you I instantly think it’s the gear you play, but honestly it’s all you ! Fantastic video Dave, thank you.

[@flashpadxxx]

Actually that's why i stopped chasing gear like years ago.. I only focused on playing..just bought two pieces of gear the last 5 years..

Dave, Dave, Dave! Great video even better amp from Boss/Roland. Nice review and playing my dear sir. Love your style and you got me rethinking what I want to relearn after a few decades have passed being out of touch with playing music. How did you give us “sound in the room” sound if no mic? Great sound both instruments. Thanks very kindly. Cheers.

[@tunnel7]

Your just one of the best guitarists around at the moment, and should be doing more Brilliant thanks Dave oh and you always remind me of Rory. good luck in all you do m8 please go Busking please think you would have a blast and your voice is brill I have watched your gigs on here.

[@sammyflinn5706]

Thankyou dave for another great video and amazing guitar playing. Am really happy you demonstrated with both electric and acoustic guitars. Your a massive inspiration dave thankyou so much buddy

[@blindjusticeandcommonsense2786]

The Cube Street (original and new) is a good tool for blowing away a lot of the weird voodoo that people get into their heads about amps and speakers. The amp is solid state and a relatively low wattage. The speakers in them are six and a bit inches. And they do the job for busking real good. The whole thing is well designed, robust, and it just works. The relatively small speakers do you a favour by cutting all the mud. And you can learn a lot from throwing different combinations of guitar/voice/keys through them. Well done to Boss for improving on the original too. Also, thanks to Dave for demoing how the new version works for him and the way he uses them. Maybe try taking it out somewhere and just playing with no expectation of any audience and just for the joy of playing outdoors somethime Dave? Kinda zen busking. Just playing, and if anyone stops to listen they stop to listen. If they don't, they don't. You don't even have to take any money. Just play.

[@JDStone20]

I have an original release generation Roland Mirco Cube, in red color, and it is amazing. I wish I would have bought a Roland Cube 30 instead of the Fender G-DEC 30 I bought, but I was on a SRV and Fender kick at the time, an Fender was still acting sane, not evil, with was in 2005/2006/2007

[@Dantespeako]

Hey, thanks for review, got a question here. Been using old Roland Street Cube forever, and always on JC Clean channel. Is that one gone now since Boss took over?

[@glennwoods2462]

Busking can be loads of fun....and I've made plenty of money doing it... I've had the original street cube for years, and that new one sounds fine... I just use backing tracks on my phone, into the line in jack, works great... Street performing does have a few drawbacks, but if you find a good place, and people treat you good it's the most fun.,...

[@nitnickers]

Great review..an very tempted to buy... Mainly for vocals an guitar... Do you recommend a microphone? Im planning on using it for sound therapy by using vocal toning, buffalo drumming an rattles? ✌️

[@thedavesimpson]

I’m not sure if that’ll work but I’m not sure. Sorry.

[@rsmallfield]

Dear Sir Mr Dave, You’re a dashed good saleshumanperson. I’ll never busk, but that sounds great and I’m sure most people could find a use for it (er … especially if they play guitar). I can’t think of anything it doesn’t do. thanks, Richard

[@chrisgunn121]

[@Ronskie66]

"A mere street fighter like you has no chance to win... or even knock me off my feet!" That should be the quote for the upcoming street 1 v street 2 shootout video or beat em up video to be more precise. "I've never seen a combo that intense!" Yeah, true, Boss combos are pretty great if I do say so myself.

[@Michel-r6m]

Dave I could do with some advice...and you may be the perfect person to answer my question. Does the amp play through two speakers if only one input is used? Thinking of trying and buying one if it does the two speaker one input kinda thing (got guitar and synth with vocoder as a drummachine that could be fun for Kraftwerk in a bluesy way...plz do not ask 😅 ).

[@thedavesimpson]

Both speakers play regardless. :)

[@lewibrooke7879]

I hear you brother, felt your brief hint at mental health. I know that’s not what the video is about but I hear ya. I’ve literally just bought this amp to consider busking again to try and get me through a real deep depression. Trying to transform it into something positive. Come busk with me :) P.s. I hate busking haha

[@lewibrooke7879]

I’m actually serious about the busking though man, from watching your playing we have a very similar style of like jamming and I could visualise us just playing for hours without any particular structure but just lost in the flow. Drop me a comment if you’re interested in arranging something, I’m a welcoming and friendly dude, would look after you haha 🤣

[@Dunkelzeitgeist]

Say me and my wife both played little zoom pedals, G1x and B1x for example, reckon we could both plug into this? I mean with the bass through a multi effects pedal into the instrument input, my wife's guitar could go directly into the guitar input, right? This would save some headaches on PA speakers etc aha

[@thedavesimpson]

I’m not sure about bass but the guitar would work.

[@Dunkelzeitgeist]

@@thedavesimpson yeah that's the worry, I think maybe the duel cube bass and then either this or a dual cube LX for the guitar would work nicely, getting nostalgia as my first decent amps as a kid were new at the time Roland Cubes
