Roland Blues Cube Hot VB  

The Blues Cube Hot is a versatile and compact modelling amplifier from Roland. It’s a 30 watt amp and it has a 12 inch speaker. All of Roland’s Blues Cubes are designed with their ‘Tube Logic’-technology. This means that the transistor amp have a the same warm and authentic sound as their original Blues Cube valve amp. It’s quite hard to replicate the valve amp sound, but Roland realised that simplicity was the answer. The amp has a Clean and a Crunch channel, with which all the nuances can be implemented.

But why would a transistor amplifier be preferable? Although valve amps sound beautiful, they often tend to be quite heavy, big, and require a lot of maintenance. On the other hand, transistor amps are more compact and lightweight, require minimal maintenance, and can be used with headphones. Furthermore, a footswitch can be connected to the amp. The amp also has a USB-input, which means the amp can be directly connected to a PC. Lastly, Roland made sure the amp also looks vintage, so the Blues Cube Hot allows for the full vintage experience!
