Roland CUBE-40GX 40W Guitar Amplifier

The Cube-80GX Guitar Amplifier from Roland features 3 channels and a variety of built-in effects and is capable of 80 watts of output. You can select between its JC Clean, based on Roland's JC-120 amp, and 10 different type of Lead tones. Its third channel, Solo, can be programmed to recall any JC Clean or Lead sounds and EQ settings.

The Cube-80GX features Roland's i-Cube link that allows you to connect your iOS device for playing along with tracks and recording your jams. The 1/4" headphone/record output allows you to practice silently. The Cube-80GX is footswitch compatible, allowing for hands-free channel switching, effects on/off and more with the use of an optional pedal (sold separately).

Versatile Tones and Three Independent Channels With three independent channels and a selection of great guitar tones, the Cube-80GX is ready for playing any musical style. The JC Clean channel provides the clean sound of Roland's JC-120, while the Lead channel offers 10 tones to choose from. Included are distortion sounds from warm Overdrive to the massive gain of Extreme, plus an acoustic guitar simulator. The Solo channel is fully programmable, allowing you to store all settings from either the JC Clean or Lead channel, along with EQ and effects choices. Channels can be selected from the front panel or remotely via optional footswitches

Built-In Effects and Tuner Three separate effects sections supply pro guitar processing right onboard the Cube-80GX, with streamlined controls for dialing up tones with ease. The EFX section offers five stompbox-type effects, while the dedicated Delay section provides two different delay types. Reverb is included as well, with your choice of vintage spring emulation or a studio-style plate. The Cube-80GX also features a chromatic/manual tuner, built right into the amp i-Cube Link: Built-In iOS Interface Onboard the Cube-80GX is Roland's i-Cube Link interface, which lets you integrate with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using a real guitar amp with great tone.

i-Cube Link connects to your device's audio jack quickly and simply with the included cable, providing two-way communication with your favorite music apps. With i-Cube Link, you can play along with music tracks and send guitar tones with effects straight into the recording app of your choice. The i-Cube Link jack can also be used as a simple stereo input, enabling you to plug in nearly any music player or audio device and play it through the Cube-80GX Cube Jam App Available for free from the App Store, the Roland Cube Jam app turns your iOS device into a command center for jamming, recording, and learning. Play back commercial songs and minus-one tracks through the Cube-80GX via i-Cube Link and riff along for hours with the amp's great tones. Cube Jam also records audio through the i-Cube Link connection, letting you capture your jams with a single touch. After recording, you can adjust the volume of your guitar and backing music independently in the app, then export your mix to a 16-bit, 44.1 kHz WAV file.

Cube Jam also includes tools for music practice, including independent speed and pitch adjustment of audio playback, Center Cancel to remove solos and create your own jam tracks, and more 3-band EQ Recording/headphone output for silent practicing
