I finally had the opportunity to hear my new Roland Cube 30 in action at my Monday night jazz trio gig yesterday, which is me on guitar, along with congas, and upright bass. I have to say, I was very suspicious that this little amp wouldn't be able to cut it because of its size, weight, and that it is all solid state. However, not only is it a real back saver, but it totally kicked ass. I was amazed at the tone and how low I had to keep the master volume to fill up the room with a full cocktail bar of people, and a full restaurant. Many times I looked down on the floor in disbelief at what I was hearing. I actually like the tone better than my Mesa Boogie Mark I, which I sold last week. Of all the amp simulations on the amp, I found the Black Panel setting is the most effective at producing a common (stereotypical based on listening to my jazz guitar CD collection) and natural jazz amp tone. I put the Gain at about 8, which produces just enough gain that when I pluck my strings hard, the tone breaks up a bit (like Scofield), but is otherwise clean. I keep the bass at about 4 , the Mid at 6, and the Treble/High at 0.
