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.
@@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
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.
Terrible value. Essentially double the price of it's competition and no Bluetooth standard or rechargeable battery. Just by the NUX mighty or the JOYO DC15s and keep the rest of your hard earned money in your wallet.
Sounds as bad as my old Roland Cube 40xl. Hard to believe they haven’t improved the sound in 11 years or so. JC Clean and acoustic simulator are the only good sounds. Looper is good too. Obviously the Katana is a whole different league.
11 years ago the Roland Cube 40xl was revolutionary. Now especially after trying a Katana, the cube sounds really bad. Very obsoleted sounds. I still have the Roland Cube 40xl and the Boss Katana 50. One of them is a toy(cube) the other one is a serious amp(Katana). The only reason I kept the cube is for the looper and the JC Clean. Also Cube has an incredible bottom end. That close cab is really good. Good bass.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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)..
It seems really scuzzy of some people to expect those who don't want it to subsidise those who do by paying a higher price for the amp with Bluetooth included.
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 !
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 :)))
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
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.
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! :(
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.
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.
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.
These look cool. But they screwed up the bass amp with this rythm section, no one needs... The bass amp is actually the one that needs stereo more than the guitar one... also the price is a bit too much for what they are... but other than these 2 things, they seem cool.
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.
I still haven't found a way to hook up a mic! 😢 the 3.5mm phone jack mutes the speakers, the 1/4 Stereo In makes both signals clean (and needs lo-hi z adapter for mic?), and aux 3.5mm input needs a portable mic preamp? Help.
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
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 🤠
Watched as it's a fun channel with good musicality, but Meh, more grabs for cash from Boss... Footswitch is hardly 'optional' if you need it for triggering the looper function 🙄
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.
I wonder how this compares to the little spark desktop amp. I bought the cream colored spark for when I travel, but I'm rather disappointed with the sound quality. I have a pair of the 100w Katana Mk II's that I run in stereo along with the GA-FC pedal and they sound great, but way to bulky to carry around on holiday.
Aw man they missed the best kept secret of these amps, you put the guitar through the microphone setting, wang up the gain, and it sounds like dick dale took a knife to it! 😁
You claim it's perfect for busking, but it does it have any mic input/s? (I've only used the Roland covered in orange leatherette - presumably the female version of Pete's leather, hehe.)
It is pretty crappy, but at the same time, it NEEDS a footswitch to be useable, and the one that BOSS makes is like 1/4 the price of the amp. So they lose the price point (which is tucked under THR10) if they include that. You can also probably use a $20 import double switch if that's a feature you want. I have a Rowin one I plan on trying out to see if it works, but something the size of the FS-6 probably would be better for a looper control.
Why you need the footswitch to activate the looper? Cashgrab. Either include it or make it work without. Adding atleast 50 to 80 to the price. Bluetooth is an additional 50 euro
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?
PLEASE HELP! how do I stream backing tracks wirelessly to this amp?? I have the blue tooth attachment, i have the app, but I do not see any way to stream music... which is pretty annoying since I bought that stupid dongle just so I could do this, and it doesn't seem to work. If there is a way to do it, how?
At the start of the video, Pete is vocalizing into a microphone. Decades ago, in much of Rural America, there was an art form called "Eefing and Hambone". There is a TH-cam clip from our 1960's television show "Hee-Haw" ( th-cam.com/video/FvlcXYsfZ4g/w-d-xo.html ). Sorry, Pete, you have got to step up your game a bit.
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 👍🏼

The real question is: how does it compare to the THR10 sound wise? I'm guessing the THR wins but who knows?
I would as well bet on the THR but the fact that it has 4 inches speakers might surprise us. Can't wait to know.
The looper on this is a big plus.
Same modelling and effects as the MicroCube GX, which in my opinion, is fantastic! Now with added looper....Perfect minimalist living room rig :)

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.
Will you do video of Mustang LT40S?
Always blown away by Pete's playing. And he does it like it's no big deal.

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.
“Alexa, make a fart noise…” Thanks lads, she trumping away incessantly now, all pleased with herself 💨
Just bought the Boss but having to return it as the MIc input dosen't work along with guitar input same time so no good for busking really is it?
Why couldn't they have built in a bluetooth adapter? Money grab... Probably still going to pick one up though.
Lee made my Alexa play a fart noise, report, unfollowed, unsubscribed
I wonder how this compares to the little spark desktop amp. I bought the cream colored spark for when I travel, but I'm rather disappointed with the sound quality. I have a pair of the 100w Katana Mk II's that I run in stereo along with the GA-FC pedal and they sound great, but way to bulky to carry around on holiday.
No idea, but I prefer my THR10ii for travel use over my Spark.
My katana bit the dust just in time for this to come out lol
Aw man they missed the best kept secret of these amps, you put the guitar through the microphone setting, wang up the gain, and it sounds like dick dale took a knife to it! 😁
Awesome, love that tele man
I had one of those orange Roland Cubes too.
You claim it's perfect for busking, but it does it have any mic input/s? (I've only used the Roland covered in orange leatherette - presumably the female version of Pete's leather, hehe.)
If you include a looper but it requires an optional extra to work, can you really say you've included a looper? Seems a bit cheeky to me.
That acoustic simulator sounds good though.
That acoustic simulator was the best I think I’ve ever heard. I’ve tried a multitude of them and that sounded sweet!
Look up how the ampero does it.
@@adriansoul7223 I’ve got an ampero one - haven’t tried any acoustic sim on it yet, but will do :)
They added a popular feature (looper) that you can't use unless you buy a separate footswitch? That seems rather shitty.
It is pretty crappy, but at the same time, it NEEDS a footswitch to be useable, and the one that BOSS makes is like 1/4 the price of the amp. So they lose the price point (which is tucked under THR10) if they include that. You can also probably use a $20 import double switch if that's a feature you want. I have a Rowin one I plan on trying out to see if it works, but something the size of the FS-6 probably would be better for a looper control.
beat box pete
Did Pete play Bitch or am I just imagining things? 😃
Why you need the footswitch to activate the looper? Cashgrab.
Either include it or make it work without.
Adding atleast 50 to 80 to the price. Bluetooth is an additional 50 euro
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?
@@DougMen1 yeah, that kinda works, but it doesn't give me enough reverb... I like lots of it lol
You can’t play delay and reverb at the same time right..?
"L" stands for "Luxe" or "Deluxe"! Of course thats just a thumb suck! Lol!!
Probably not its intended (main) use, but DI sounds are pretty terrible for 2022, even compared to small budget modelers .Headphone out, probably too
Is this amp works on batteries?? How many hours?
The Human Pete-box
Can I use both inputs to play with two guitars at the same time?
No delay and reverb simultaneously? Maybe through the app? If not missed opportunity.
PLEASE HELP! how do I stream backing tracks wirelessly to this amp?? I have the blue tooth attachment, i have the app, but I do not see any way to stream music... which is pretty annoying since I bought that stupid dongle just so I could do this, and it doesn't seem to work. If there is a way to do it, how?
...I'd like to know how a guitar sounds through the Bass version? ...looks way better!
At the start of the video, Pete is vocalizing into a microphone. Decades ago, in much of Rural America, there was an art form called "Eefing and Hambone". There is a TH-cam clip from our 1960's television show "Hee-Haw" ( th-cam.com/video/FvlcXYsfZ4g/w-d-xo.html ). Sorry, Pete, you have got to step up your game a bit.
" Number 5 is alive Stephanie!" .....for Pete I got the reference.
Is this a good amp for jam sessions?
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 👍🏼
14:15 "...the choice of delay or reverb" you can't do them at the same time?? nuts
