[@BassChopsBri]

I bought your Rolling Hills iPad app years ago. Still amazes me…

[@ChrisWoodsGrooveGuitar]

Thats really kind thank you! It was good fun actually. I used to busk loads but havent for years and years. Thanks for the support.

Love it!

[@ChrisWoodsGrooveGuitar]

Thank you so much :)

[@JackHaighMusic]

Great playing as always. Love this tune

[@ChrisWoodsGrooveGuitar]

Thank you so much. and yes sure is, just the mimesis (mic/pickup all in one) through the amp.

[@woo-pot-keeponi3467]

Great way to start my day. Thanks.

[@ChrisWoodsGrooveGuitar]

Thanks for listening :)

[@mitchg.5125]

such an impeccable sense of rhythm, of off-beats, I almost missed the melody being referenced but then there it was, woven seamlessly in. this tapestry has gold woven in and a thousand other precious things

[@gavinferris8106]

The OG tune. The cubes are great. I got the big 4 channel 50watt one a few years ago and it packs a punch. Great piece of kit.

[@ChrisWoodsGrooveGuitar]

sure do dont they! So loud for something so little. Whats the OG tune?

[@gavinferris8106]

Summery tune for a summers day marvellous rendition Chris 👍👍👍

[@ChrisWoodsGrooveGuitar]

Thank U :)

[@wolfunplugged]

what for an excellent sense for rhythm and music you have! busking at it's best! what for a beautiful rockin' funky guitar tune! as an owner of street cube 1 I am considering the buy of the new one. do you perhaps know if its possible with the app to exchange the reverb from channel one into a delay? thanks and best greetings!

[@ChrisWoodsGrooveGuitar]

Thanks so much for kind comment. Very grateful for it. Im afraid I dont know the answer to your question, but someone at BOSS will probably be able to help. sorry and thanks again.

[@JackHaighMusic]

Mate what a sound! Is that just the mimesis pickup?

[@TheOnlineBusker]

This is super! I’m looking at this amp for busking, and actually have a similar rig to you! Martin guitar with what looks like Fishman Rare Earth Blend pick-up?
Do you find this amp loud enough for the street? I will use vocals too.

[@witkoskiala5174]

So inspiring! And that wide dynamic sound, wow. Does the amp sound the same live as in the line out recording? Maybe some only-microphone recording one day? Cheers mate

[@ChrisWoodsGrooveGuitar]

Thank u very much indeed. So in this recording there is only a v.v.small amount of line out... so really it's mainly the amp speaker you are hearing. I'd say they are pretty spot on the same in sound. When mixing the two through my monitors I wasnt hearing a bit difference at all beyond the change from natural reverb of course. Hope that helps. Thanks again.

[@ZOISANIS]

Perfect guitar style!
Did you use the looper for some bass lines?

[@ChrisWoodsGrooveGuitar]

Thank you so much

[@joe_casinoacoustic1773]

Can I plug three things into this microphone,guitar and beat pedal

[@mrplitsum]

Hi after watching the other Videos of the Cube all I could feel was that your music is a Brain Massage.
Where was the Line out plugged into?

[@ChrisWoodsGrooveGuitar]

A brain massage, thats awesome. :) So line out is going direct into the zoom H4N recorder input, whilst the built in mic on the zoom is picking up the ambience. I think you catch it in the vid a couple of times next to the amp.

[@mrplitsum]

@@ChrisWoodsGrooveGuitar Ah OK so the people on the street are just hearing what comes out of the Amp itself? What pickup are you using? I always say Busking is god for the Soul

[@ChrisWoodsGrooveGuitar]

@@mrplitsum Thats right, so everyone is hearing the amp itself... in fact most of what you are hearing is that too, I just blended a bit of the line out. I use a mimesis Kudos by Mike Vanden an amazing bit of kit. Thanks so much.

[@col145]

Nice playing mate but I’d like to here someone sing through one of these 😔

[@dennyferguson7854]

Why does almost revue on the Cube Street 2 only play guitar and avoid using the mic ? It would be nice to hear the overall sound instead of solo guitarists ‘doing their thyng’?

[@polish_king98]

From experience, I can tell you it doesn’t sound bad. I just got it and use it for both guitar and mic

[@polish_king98]

Also, this person is clearly an instrumental artist, so why would they have to use vocals?
