Feature:
This amp needs additional adjustment controls on the effects. Right now there are just two effects knobs with several settings on each, which does make for quickness and simplicity though at the price of customizability of the effect. All other features are great.
Quality:
Oh yeah, this amp oozes quality. Totally solid, yet light-weight for its size and wattage. The pots are active not passive, so I won't be expecting any crackling ever.
Value:
First of all, this thing is compact for a 30 Watt, and very loud too. Need earplugs for anything above half volume. So that with the good distortion makes for a great value. Like others said, best in its price range. Only thing that might come close is the similar Vox, but the Vox is quite a bit wider than the Cube and for me compactness was important.
Desirability:
It will attract metal-babes. If you want the older gentler ladies, get a vintage Fender amp and wear dockers when you play.
Sound:
Sound is extremely good after some EQ adjustment to remove boominess on the bass. My favorite settings are "acoustic" and "r-fier." Acoustic is brighter, more compressed, and less twangy then the clean channel, makes for a great clean sound. R-fier is Pantera/Metallica style distortion ... smoothly heavy and articulate, does not sound muffled or tinny but rather beefy and well-distorted, allows easy and clear pinch harmonics and crunchy palm muting.
Ease of Use:
Gotta give it to Roland, this amp is extremely easy to use. Only thing I looked up in the manual was how to use the chromatic version of the tuner. Involved holding the tuner button down for a full second, that's all. Everything else is intuitive.
Support:
Haven't used it, but everything I've heard/read says Roland provides good support.
Overall:
This is the amp I was looking for. Wanted something that was loud, compact, good value, good quality, with distortion that brings a smile to my face. It did all these. Played a Schecter Damien-6 through it, and sounds awesome. It's the best amp I could have gotten for the money. Almost went with the 20X but changed my mind after realizing only the 30X had the r-fier (mesa/boogie emulator) and I absolutely needed massive gain.

Feature:
Awesome features. Has everything to offer.
Quality:
Industrial grade; I've bumped this amp around for a while and it works and looks like new.
Value:
For the money, this amp is the best bang for your buck.
Desirability:
Doesn't have a very 'sexy' look, but it looks like it wants to rock.
Sound:
The sound is pretty good. I used to have a Marshall and the Roland sounds close.
Ease of Use:
Incredibly easy to perfect the sound.
