Members lunarian1 Posted June 17, 2005 Members Share Posted June 17, 2005 read a lot of good things about this amp, but if I was using one of the clean models with distortion pedal in front would it sound good ?/ other pedals ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Acid Test Posted June 17, 2005 Members Share Posted June 17, 2005 Yes, but I've only used them playing thru the clean channel. I use Zoom GFX-1 w/ the expression pedal thru the JC-120 channel of the Cube 60 and it sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lunarian1 Posted June 17, 2005 Author Members Share Posted June 17, 2005 cheers seriously thinking about getting one , although I'm not so bothered about the effects or distortion , was wondering if the clean channel works well as a good "blank canvas " for other effects / distortion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cruachan Posted June 17, 2005 Members Share Posted June 17, 2005 I haven't tried the amp with pedals (demoed it in the shop) but I have a Cube 30 and it likes pedals, particularly on the JC Clean and BlackPanel models, as you would expect. The soundclips on my site were played (badly ) through a Cube 30 on JC Clean mode with a Strat. I also like the Classic Stack and Brit Combo models a lot, the FX are usable rather than great and the thing is built like a tank. Wasn't impressed with the DynaAmp model on the 60 though, all I could get was high gain playing a Les Paul DC through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lunarian1 Posted June 17, 2005 Author Members Share Posted June 17, 2005 I have a Laney TF200 right now , which I do actually like , but it's the only amp I've ever owned, I thought this would maybe be a step up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Acid Test Posted June 17, 2005 Members Share Posted June 17, 2005 I first got the Micro cube and then the Cube 60. The Micro is great for bedrooms or playing outside on good day. The Cube 60 is very light, relatively, for a 60 watt 12" amp. It is the best amp in this class I have owned (Marshall mg dfx 100, Fender 90 watt, Kustom Quad 100, Peavey Bandit, Drive 100 watt some {censored}). A couple of weeks ago I got to jam with an old buddy who had some Marshall 2x12" Valvestate and I brought the Roland. I played a small effects (Zoom GFX-1) thru the clean side of the Roland and it sounded amazing at low and high volumes. We tried the Zoom in front of the Marshall and it sounded like tin with no low end. The Marshall did sound good with its own distortions, but still was a bit weak. I was able to dial in the same Marshall sound with the Roland and the Zoom in just a couple of minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a cube 60 and it takes pedalsas well as any solid state amp.WithOD/DIST pedals you won't get the same"fatness" or warmth added to the sound that you get with a tube amp so you need to have good dirt boxes.A BOSS Metalzone or DS-1 for example will sound thin and buzzy while something like a Tonebone Hot British or Classic will sound better IMO.
