Get chest pounding tone with the 20-watt wonder that is the CUBE XL. Six COSM amp models offer flexibility at volumes fit for your band or your landlord.

Just as the CUBE guitar-amp family received an XL upgrade, now it's time for the CUBE BASS line to reach XL status. The CUBE XL BASS amplifiers remain portable and travel friendly, a CUBE tradition, but they benefit from next-generation XL performance enhancements. These amps deliver a knock-out punch with custom FFP and COSM(R) technology. FFP is one of Roland's core technologies in which each component -- amp, cabinet, and speaker -- achieves maximum efficiency and performance for incredible power from a compact body.

The most portable of the CUBE-XL BASS family, the CUBE-20XL BASS, features 20 watts of power, an 8-inch custom speaker, six COSM amp models, pro-quality effects (Reverb, Delay, Chorus Solo, Poly Octave, Compression, and Overdrive), Power Squeezer for big sound at low volume, and 3-band EQ.

"Amazing"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I bought the bass 20xl for practice with the new band, as my 500w amp is still being shipped. One week ago, I played with the band at a small pub and thought I'd run the amp through the desk. But after the initial sound check, I noticed that the amp kept up on it's own and didn't need to be hooked up to the desk. In short, we played covers all night and the 20xl cut through the mix convincingly and without distorting. This is the loudest and truest 20 watt amp I have ever heard. I certainly will not need to take my 500w amp to most small gigs now. The 20xl will do the job well on its own.
