Re: Roland Cube 30 for Jazz Review
Funny that you mention the Polytone, which was my amp of choice 6 years
ago.
I owned three of them, all vintage models- the MegaBrute with the 15"
speaker, the 103 or George Benson model with two 12" speakers, and the
Teeny
Brute with the 10" speaker, all with the original silver face control
panels, and the black waffle speaker covers. I could kick myself for
selling
that Teeny Brute! Stupid, stupid, stupid.
However, I think this Cube 30 is a viable competitor to the Polyone 10"
amps, plus it has more tone options. I think if they had made the Cube 30
a
little bit deeper, so it was more "cube like", and removed the port, it
would sound more close to the Teeny Brute. The Teeny Brute was almost a
perfect cube and completely sealed.
I wonder if anyone has put a higher wattage speaker in the Cube 30, like
an
EV of JBL....or even an Eminence copy of either, which I really like.
