I own this, the cube 60, the cube30, and the microcube amplifiers. I find that its tone and power are fantastic. I also own a Traynor 15 watt and a traynor 50 watt tube amp. The tube sounds cannot be totally duplicated by this amp but it comes close on so many levels. This thing lets me play Jazz or rock and sounds deep and powerful. It has so many features that I can fine tune. This amp's JC clean side is wonderful with my semi-hollow body guitar.

It did not have any foot switches that came with it. I would have rated this a 10 if there had been a couple of switches with it.

You can quickly move from sound to sound on this amp. It is extremely easy to adjust sounds for this amp to completely dial in whatever sound you want. The learning curve on this amp is about 10 minutes if you have never had a Roland cube amp before. Each feature is so much like the next one that after you learn how to adjust one you have learned to adjust them all.

This is built like a tank. It looks good. It looks tough. I have no worry about this amp failing. I would use this on the road and feel secure not having to carry a backup with me. I would not mind having another one of these in case someone elses amp should fail.

The value of this product exceeds its price.

Over the years, I have never had to deal with Roland for anything and I have owned these Roland cube amps for many years.

I did not lust for this amp except on its functional capabilities. It is an excellent addition to my setup.

Well...once again, Roland has built an amp that is hard to beat at this price point. The flexibility...ease of use...spot on tone models...sheer power...(special solo feature is very cool)...ext. spkr output (unusual in this class)...and plenty of line level output features on the back. The built in tuner makes this amp a must have.It's perfect for those grab and go gigs, jamm sessions, and recording dates. I play in 3 busy bands and have several high end tube amps....but I still grab my Cube 80 just as often because of the sound quality and convenience....it's just a "no brainer".....love it....!!

In my opinion...the needed footswitch should be included....but I bought it anyway...this is more of an observation than a complaint.

you'd have to be in a coma to get confused by this amp..!

Nobody beats Roland for consistency...period !

This is by far...a best value buy....!!

once you get em on the phone, they're great..!

I am amazed... this small thing can fill up places that I couldn't with a 410 tube amp. I'm still working on getting the sound I want but the sound I have gotten out of it so far has been great.

I'm loving the amp models that I am able to dial in. The only thing I wish that it had was an included footswitch. Oh, some type of dust cover would be good also.

Very easy to use. I couldn't believe how easy it was to use the looper function. You don't really need to read the book to use it.

I like how it's built... Not very heavy but solid... Looks good... Weight and size are awesome for someone on the road a lot.

It's really worth the price. You pay 400 for a product that does better than one that costs easily double its price.

Will give a 10 bc I haven't needed them yet.

I'm a gadget man as well as a musician... It amazes most musicians to see something so small get the job done.

I have owned this amp for about 2 months and like it more every time I turn it on. Played with the band the other day and had no problem keeping up with our loud drummer and the other guitar player liked it so much he went out and bought one the next day. I feel this amp has really good tone in a small powerful lightweight package. I use a 1x12 celestion vintage 30 extension cabinet with it at times and that just takes it to a whole new level. I didn't use the ext cab at rehearsal and it was plenty of power and sound. The solo function is great, volume boost at the push of a button for leads. I love the distortions and the cleans. I sold all my other amps. If you want to scale down and make things simple, this amps for you.

Doesn't come with foot switches but you can buy them to control everything on this amp.

For great sound and tone, just turn it on, its that easy.

Sounds like a toy -- a toy that is broken. It rattles and hisses with a substantial amount of digital artifact noise. Not nearly as good as the 60.

Has all the bells and whistles....now if it only sounded good....

The dealer says "they all sound like this"

Roland support is very good, you may need it.

The cube 80 sounds great in a clean mode. However, when using distortion this amp is not too impressive. I have tried using numerous guitars and settings with this amp and have not found a setting that sounds good with distortion.

The effects on the cube 80 sound pretty good. I kinda like the dyna amp feature and the looper.

I have not called for service on this amp
