Jeez...what a time to be alive. These sound better than TONS of gear from back in the day. My first bass amp was a Crate BX80 that sounded nowhere NEAR as good as these...lol
I just bought one. Works perfect as a portable "preamp" rig into the house! Played my Mustang into it last night for a four hour bar gig, had great tone!
So they have moved the Cube from the Roland name to the Boss name, smart. Roland Cubes have always been the best combo amps under 10” speaker for me. This will be a great product.
I had an old roland keyboard amp from the 80s or early 90s and it sounded amazing with an ibanez classic metal pedal in front (the soundtank version was a great pedal) but that was back in like y2k era and it had a 4×3in speaker setup...four 3in speakers... and now all these modelling amps are coming out with similar setups and it makes me think they were way ahead of their time. All my friends back then had like peavey rage 158s or some equivalent but you never saw small amps with multiple 3s... it was always 10 or 15w driving a 6 or 8 in speaker and that seems to be going away with these katana and cube and blackstar amps... just a thought that had been kicking around for a while now.
@@jeffleecust one of the best setups i have ever had... i kid you not... was my LP into a boss gt6 (i think it was the 6, it was the one with dark blue with orange lettering) into the aux input of an old ass Pioneer 1100 home stereo and then i had two ridiculous stage speaker cabs that had 2×15 a 12in horn and 8in midrange each... it was ungodly.
When I bought my GX-40 there was also the LX-40 with a looper. The GX had something the LX did not have, but I forgot what that was (a G-spot?). The L in LX stands for looper we can conclude.
No! It doesn't have the best sounding amp model of them all, the Classic Stack, which was awesome for getting the SRV type tone with a Strat, unless they just renamed it High Gain Stack, but I'm not holding my breath. It's also WAY too expensive
@@DougMen1 unpopular opinion: the best sounding mode of the micro cube is and has always been a guitar into the mic channel, the overdrive is weird and gnarly hahaha
I finally picked up a Cube, a 15w cube xl, and I specifially hunted for one of these smaller ones. They blow me away for the tone out of such a small package, and im used to playing my Vox Ac15, Peavey Classic, Blackstars HT-20, and my Boss katana. So, needess to say, going to a tiny box that can compete in quality tone was a big surprise. Run it into a 4x12 and youll be truly blown away.
Thats actually great to know as that's what it comes down too. Having said that I'd need a pedal if I wanted to play Metallica as the metal tone isn't up to the quality of the rest.... cheers.
@@titmusspaultpaul5 You can get pretty close to a Metallica tone with the stock amps distortion. Check my video of running it into a 4x12 and hear how much gain it has on tap.
It might have been discontinued, but I love my Micro Cube. Other small amps have come and gone, including a THR, but this little thing is tough, simple to use, sounds good and lasts forever on batteries. Perfect.
I love peters energy so much!! he is such an invaluable part of the crew and a perfect counter part to the Captain! I pretty much click every video with Peter in it , even if im not interested in the gear
Bucket drums i think is what started it... the word itself i mean... calling a bucket a busket is a common enough addage in general and for street performers that make a living with their bucket drums they were going out busking... just easier to say than going out to bucket (or bucketting)
I've got the little Roland cube and have just got a looper and am now learning to use it with my ukuleles..... I'm in my 60,s so your never too old to learn new tricks. Maybe when I,m in my eighties I might be good enough to go out busking with my amp attached to my Zimmer !
Solid state and modeling has really come into its own. You could easily gig with that plugged into mains as a cover band and everyone would say you sounded awesome
And to think that this particular amp has the same modeling and effects as the Microcube GX, an almost 10 year old amp. The solid state stuff really is good.
@@dammitcarl1082 You ever try a peavey vypyr? They had some good modeling tech thats often forgotten. The same solid state tech that made the bandit so good combined with any effect you could want/need.
I have a nice stereo tube setup at home. But I’m way past dragging all of that to a bar show. I’ve tried the newish small fender one and it had some good sounds. If I started playing out again I would totally go this or a similar route.
So true, been playing 20 years and the gear you can get now is fantastic. Just my opinion but I don’t think it will be to long before you don’t see big Marshall stacks at gigs with the technology moving so fast
Looper is indeed the best thing ever. Teaches , by your own originality and exploration. The sky is the limit....Really cool Roland/Boss. I'm needing an outdoor solution ...this is something I'll look into. Great video.
Ten years ago I bought this FS-6 pedal as a remote foot control for my DAW, when I just started using one, with all strugling that comes with it, like MIDI CC codes etc. I tried a ten buck chinese pedal for this simple function, but couldn't make that work, probably something with the latch/momentary thing. The FS-6 is great. It also costs a lot of money (which is not the same as expensive to me). It is about a quarter of the price of the amp, I see. I think you would do a lot of potential buyers a great favor and sell more Cubes when you'd test some 10-20 bucks pedals whether they work or not as an on/off switch for the looper. A large part will buy the FS-6 after a year, probably, it being more solid, but I think you'd save buyers in the beginners market the initial frustrating choice between 60 quid extra to make the looper work or buying the incomplete, looperless thing (Any which way you loop, starring Clint Eastloop)..
The fact that these have almost halved in price since this video was released is incredible. I’ve just bought one at £139 new and for that kind of money it’s an absolute steel as an amp for the house and then even a portable love rig pedal platform with the stereo out on the back 👍🏼
Pretty much what I'm looking for as both an indoors practice amp in an apartment with thin walls as well as something to take into the great outdoors that is not at all cumbersome to tote...along with sounding great at a great price. You guys have such skillful expressive communication talents too. Gonna sleep on it, but at the moment, I'm very close to being able to declare, "I'm sold."
These amps are cool as hell & all that, but I'm here to request that whoever edits the videos for this channel cuts out a sample of Pete saying "Sounds _great,_ man!" to sprinkle into future videos randomly to give Lee a nice bit of praise here and there.
Great video. Thank you. Just bought the Dual Cube Bass XL 2 for the rhythm feature and being able to stream my TrueFire lessons through the amp while practicing will be awesome. Also purchased a Boss Kantana 1x10 Bass Combo but it doesn’t have all the cool stuff Dual Cube Street does so decided to get them both. Bluetooth gizmo is interchangeable between the two amps. Have a regular cube street that is 10 years old now; love it too. Thank you Boss.
The amp is small 2x4 (not 2x12) yet via line outs it sounds great. Even through the speakers the Fender amp with modulation and reverb sounds groovey baby 🤠
if you are recording at home as a hobby (or even if a semi pro), i think this would be a great gear to use. I've never have katana or cube, but now I'm genuinely interested.
I have 2 original micro cubes, different yr models and a katana 50,micro cubes far more impressive. One I have feeding an 8inch cabinet,still the most even on battery power. Katana I found a little lifeless,good effects but core sound not really good
It's listed for $399.99 here in Canada and with sales tax on top of that it's just over $450. It's sounds great but that's just too much. The Cube Street 2 lists for only $135 more (which also seems way too much) and the 6.5" vs 4" speakers alone would make that a better choice in my opinion. Still, I'm sure this fits the sweet spot for some folks.
@@matt6288joyce lol I did it w a Headrush mx5's built in looper to a Vypyr 40 for now and the Spark for dirty lead and rythym. Takes up the space of the Combo w the spark on top of it.
Ooh, I think I need one of these lol Edit: yeah, I NEED one of these! As Wayne would say, "She will be mine. Oh yes." 😂 22:14 it has built in adjustable drum tracks??? ok, I am 100% getting this, reserving now, can't wait :)))
Great video, great jams, surprisingly good amps, there's no question about that. But, I am suprised that the guitar version has this heavy octave and bass amp doesn't! No busking with sledgehammer! :(
Just had my Roland jc-22 delivered yesterday, so I was worried that the cube lx might have been a better choice. Phew! Much better fidelity on the jc-22 (two 6.5" speakers and 30 watts) and since I bought it to play my Zoom stereo multi-effects pedal through, I don't need all the amp models, fx, reverb, etc on the cube lx.
Got mine today and my initial thought was it falls down for busking as the inputs are guitar OR mic, not both. So still need a vocal amp in which case this is not going to replace my Cube Street EX. Also to be a great busking amp the rhythm feature on the bass version should be added.
Man, felt like I was just hanging and listening to some great jamming and back and forth - ALWAYS a pleasure my friends!! And YES - at $250, this is a NO BRAINER for guitarists of all levels and skills, great sound that can go with you, not to mention the looper!! BOO on not including the bluetooth capability - it's like, dang, it's so cheap nowadays, and to sell it as a separate thing that can break!??! LOL Hey, all good - still looks AWESOME!!!! THANKS!!
I’m losing my mind over the Dual Cube LX. It’s so perfect for my very specific use of taking my rig with me when I work all over. The fact that they’ve designed it to allow modellers to plug into it is ideal, as I use amp modellers off of my laptop a lot. Amazing work Roland/Boss.
@@jayytoday6596 I think so! The amplifier has a setting designed for modellers, so if you have a USB recording interface you can plug in the output where you would normally a guitar and use it like a powered speaker. Or if you have a multi-effects pedal like a Boss GT-1 you can plug that in and use the amplifier like a speaker? Hope that helps?
Looks and sounds very nice, but being a smaller practise amp and not including the footswitch, it feels quite a bit overpriced. For 50-100£ less it would be really interesting.
I've got one of these arriving soon and I'm pretty excited about it. Haven't decided if the Bluetooth adapter is really worth the cost. I will try without first and see if the phone/tablet app can work via Camera Connection Kit (direct USB cable). Even if not, I question how much I would really need to adjust the parameters in that much detail. As best I can tell, you already have tempo controls for the time-based effects and full EQ settings on the dash. Not sure how often I would need to change the type of delay, etc., though it's obviously helpful for playing backing tracks. One thing I wonder about is the best way to hook up an external modeler (like HX Stomp) if your patches are mono. I suppose I could just run two cables than then have a "dual mono" output? It's confusing because their "flat" setting is named "stereo", so I don't want to hook up one cable and have just the left speaker playing! Documentation isn't really clear if it sums to stereo or not with just one cable plugged in. Anyone know?
Not sure about it myself, was thinking of getting one to for my multi effects pedal. I have heard just putting the amp selector on the Jc clean sounds just as good though so might just do that.
really thinking to buy BOSS LX Cube (w/ BT module) + NUX Trident for my home rig ... for the money I will have all I need too play along backing tracks from phone (or PC) and ton of options to combine sounds
Tried a bass one today. Though fx weren’t great, sound was great for such a compact amp. Also could do some wedges or angled back to point it up and out. Expensive but beautiful.
Pleased they've got drums in the bass amp. Vox appear to have stopped making their mini practice amps with drums. These can work as a practice amp and performing amp as well. Small size is going to be a benefit for many living in small spaces cities.
I realy like this amp and you guys make amazing video's. I do have 1 question left. How is Pete running the mic in the beginning of the video? I got a few mic's with XLR output and i don't think i can put one of these into the amp since there is no xlr to be found on it. This is fine, i got some none xlr ones too but i am really wondering if he just switched the cable or if there is any way to plug in a mic and use this at the same time as a guitar? Do i need to use the recording live streaming thing for this or can my voice come out of the amp at the same time as the mic sound? Hope this is clear enough.
Yeah that thing is nice lads. I wish I hadn't already bought my spark, I think I like yours better. I have to have an external looper or shell out a hundred bucks for a bluetooth foot-pedal. And no stereo outs. That's a lot of features for a very modest price.
Man these are confusing. They're great and probably worth the price, but because the Katana 50 costs _even less_ than this, it makes this seem overpriced in my brain.
I'm glad this has reverb! That's one thing I wish my Boss mini amp had... also, you guys mentioned you can connect the boss app to this (with the dongle). Does that allow you to add various FX? or is it just a convenient way to control the FX that are already included with the amp?
Always blown away by Pete's playing. And he does it like it's no big deal.
I love your name... strat o blaster 😂 also, agreed! Pete is a fantastic player, Lee too, and they sound great together :)

The real question is: how does it compare to the THR10 sound wise? I'm guessing the THR wins but who knows?

Thank you Captain my Alexa heard you, needed a good laugh tbh :)
These are epic. Can’t wait to try
Thanks for the demo and explanation of everything guys - much appreciated.
Wasn't mad about my micro cube although it had lots of sounds the speaker was just too small. Hope these sound better in the flesh than the micro!
Will you do video of Mustang LT40S?
“Alexa, make a fart noise…” Thanks lads, she trumping away incessantly now, all pleased with herself 💨

Old cube modelling is still really good today. They didn’t show the reverb will drip the cost of a pedal to do that will be as much as the amp alone.
SOUNDS REALLY GOODMAN! Love you Pete! x-D
Cool amp makes a killer little busking amp
I think the amp Pete is talking about is the little Pignose amp.
There's a few older Roland amps with orange tolex, but could be the Cube-100 from 1980s that was taller than it was wide.
Must be great when you noodle like Pete cheers guys love this little amp.

really thinking to buy BOSS LX Cube (w/ BT module) + NUX Trident for my home rig ... for the money I will have all I need too play along backing tracks from phone (or PC) and ton of options to combine sounds
Looks great. Really wish they'd made it USB-rechargeable though.
Question: so the Katana has an acoustic preamp, but the Cube LX has an acoustic simulator. Can you run an acoustic into a Cube LX?
Is this a good amp for jam sessions?
Nice cube great video, Jeff in LA USA
Pretty Awesome and that beginning Track almost sounded like some Keith Urban the Song Never Comin Down Now. AWESOME STUFF 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
I have a Katana MKII 50 but this small one fur sure looks interesting enough to also buy one.
How much weight have you lost in the past year Pete?
Switched from beer to Scotch whiskey all night long...
I feel like my chances of winning the Klon are one in a million
Tried a bass one today. Though fx weren’t great, sound was great for such a compact amp. Also could do some wedges or angled back to point it up and out. Expensive but beautiful.
Good demo but seems too costly for such a small amp despite having a looper which was heavily mentioned. Too bad boss.
Pleased they've got drums in the bass amp. Vox appear to have stopped making their mini practice amps with drums. These can work as a practice amp and performing amp as well. Small size is going to be a benefit for many living in small spaces cities.
Vox still shows the Mini 5 Rhythm on their website, and all three new Vox Mini Go amps also have a drum machine built in.
I think the bass version is the best version! But do you get a Danish Pete as a bass player?
" Number 5 is alive Stephanie!" .....for Pete I got the reference.
Been looking for just this. Need em both!
I realy like this amp and you guys make amazing video's. I do have 1 question left. How is Pete running the mic in the beginning of the video?
I got a few mic's with XLR output and i don't think i can put one of these into the amp since there is no xlr to be found on it. This is fine, i got some none xlr ones too but i am really wondering if he just switched the cable or if there is any way to plug in a mic and use this at the same time as a guitar? Do i need to use the recording live streaming thing for this or can my voice come out of the amp at the same time as the mic sound? Hope this is clear enough.
Spark Mini
Loved the (b)loopers at the end
Yup. You made my echo play the last song I had on 😂
Peter i have looper and i donk know .......after playing amazing track.I love his playing.
I bought the katana mini, hate it
No reverb, these look better
Yeah that thing is nice lads. I wish I hadn't already bought my spark, I think I like yours better. I have to have an external looper or shell out a hundred bucks for a bluetooth foot-pedal. And no stereo outs. That's a lot of features for a very modest price.
Dang, Pete, is there anything you can't play?
I wonder what pickups are in Pete's guitar? That neck pickup sounds so nice.
Man these are confusing. They're great and probably worth the price, but because the Katana 50 costs _even less_ than this, it makes this seem overpriced in my brain.
Maybe your brain would be less confused if you lumped that Katana around a lot, along with the weight of a battery/inverter.
I'm glad this has reverb! That's one thing I wish my Boss mini amp had... also, you guys mentioned you can connect the boss app to this (with the dongle). Does that allow you to add various FX? or is it just a convenient way to control the FX that are already included with the amp?
You can get a reverb effect from the Katana mini by turning the delay time all the way down. Reverb is just a very very short delay
@@DougMen1 yeah, that kinda works, but it doesn't give me enough reverb... I like lots of it lol
Can we connect Boss cube lx to a cabinet as a head ?
He's done it before on here, if I'm not mistaken. 😉
LX? Helix? Light cross? (Like in lightweight and all terain)
