Roland BC-ARTIST Blues Cube Artist 80W 1x12" Guitar Combo Amp

Authentic Tube Tone: Road-tested & Fine-Tuned

Roland's Blues Cube series represents a new era in 1x12 combo amps. The integrated Tube Logic design represents the careful reproduction of the internal components which create that renowned tweed-era tube amp tone, combined with the portability and reliability that the Roland is revered for. The Blues Cube Artist features two channels, clean and crunch; versatile when used independently of each other, with rich and complex tones when combined. Variable output power modes (0.5W, 15W, 45W, Max) let you maintain your ideal tone at any volume, making the Blues Cube ideal for all artists, whether writing an rehearsing at home, or playing live. 

With its modern approach, the Blues Cube eliminates two of the big drawbacks found in all tube amps powerful enough for stage playing—they’re extremely heavy, prone to vibration damage, and they require frequent tube replacement and other costly maintenance to keep them going strong. In contrast, the Blues Cube is basically maintenance-free, and has been carefully designed to reduce weight in every area that doesn’t affect the tone. With the Blues Cube, you’re able to enjoy great tube sound at every gig, but with much easier load-in and no actual tubes to worry about!

The Blues Cube Artist features on-board reverb and tremolo, plus an effects loop for patching in any external effect that you like. The rear panel has jacks for connecting an optional footswitch such as the GA-FC Foot Controller, which provides remote switching for channel selection, Dual Tone mode, and on/off for the built-in tremolo and effects loop. And with the USB jack, it’s simple to capture the Blues Cube Artist’s rich tones directly into your favourite computer recording applications.

Each channel features a volume control, boost and tone switch, with a gain control on the crunch channel. The Blues Cube lets you stay in control with a master volume, three-band EQ, presence control, as well as controls for the tremolo, reverb, power output, and channel selection. An effects loop lets you add external pedals, and a USB output allows high-quality recording directly into your computer.
