With onboard DSP read more effects, you can plug in your bass without complicated setups. The Cube-30 Bass includes everything you need: pro-quality reverb and delay, plus essentials like chorus and flanger. There's even a T-Wah effect for adding a sweeping filtered sound to your tone - great for funk bass.

Recording/Headphones output, you can connect directly to a mixing console or to a pair of headphones. A dedicated Shape switch makes it easy to instantly change your tone.

"Sincere review. CUBE 30 BASS"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Perfect for my needs (practice and little rehearsals). But now I'm looking with desiring eyes to Roland 100 bass. More power, line out, DI, external speaker... Oh my God!!! We never stop to spend money with these delicious toys!
Sound
In this category (practice amps), there's no concurrent! The sound is clear and incredible strong from such of little combo. The COSM amp modelling make it sounds perfect for every music style. Really cool...
Features
The effects are ok, but naturally a little limited. There's no possibility to change during the rehearsal the amp type and the effects of the same category (flanger, chorus, t-wah and delay reverb). The absence of a line out is the great deception in this model. It would perfect to take the amp modelling and effects in a bigger sound system.
Quality
Roland... no further comments. Build like a fortress. Rettain the brand new aspect during years.
Value
It is the expensive model in the category (30 W practice amps), but you really have what you pay.
Manufacturer Support
I'd not deal with it. Some friends that needs Roland support says that is perfect.
The Wow Factor
Again, in these category, believe me, you will not want any other, if you try it.
