IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" and "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" on pages 2, 3, 4 and 5, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
• Although the LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to connect the power cord's plug should be one that is within easy reach and readily accessible.

Maintenance

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some other make of connection cable, please note the following precautions.

• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

• Wrap the power cord around the cord hook when transporting or storing the unit.

6E	Open sixth string
5A	Open fifth string
4D	Open fourth string
3G	Open third string
2B	Open second string
1E	Open first string

• Reference Pitch: A4 = 440 Hz

• Tune the string until the green indicator lights.

• When the pitch is even lower, the indicator flashes.

• When the pitch is even higher, the indicator flashes.

Tuning in "Chromatic Mode"

1. Hold down the TUNER switch for at least one second so that the red indicator flashes.
2. Play a single note on the open string you want to tune.
3. Tune the string until the green indicator lights.

Refer to the figure shown below to connect the CUBE-20X to other equipment.

Switching the Power On and Off

Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.

1. Make sure that all volume controls on the CUBE-20X and connected devices are set to 0.
2. Turn on all the devices connected to the CUBE-20X's input jacks (INPUT jack and AUX IN jack).
3. Turn on the CUBE-20X.
4. Switch on any equipment connected to the CUBE-20X's RECORDING OUT/PHONES jack.
5. Adjust the volume levels for the devices.
6. Before switching off the power, lower the volume on each of the devices in your system and then TURN OFF the devices in the reverse order to which they were switched on.

7. This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally. For protection from sudden big sound, always make sure to have the volume level turned down before switching on power. Even with the volume all the way down, you may still hear some sound when the power is switched on and off, but this is normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.

8. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Refer to "Power Supply" (p. 5).

9. To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
10. Before making the connections, be sure that the volume setting of the VOLUME knob for both amplifiers is set to "0."
11. When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment connected to the inputs may be low. If this happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors, such as those from the Roland PCS series.

Alternative Metal

Space Clean

Power Grunge

Vintage Crunch

The perfect sound for heavy, sharp riffs.

Select the high-gain METAL STACK, then use the equalizer to boost the low end even more.

Used with a humbucking pickup in the rear position, it results in an extreme distortion effect.

Plus, you can add a long delay to use this as a lead sound with great sustain.

Adding a short delay produces a doubling sound like that from two performers playing the same phrases simultaneously.

This is a transparent sound using spacial effects.

Select the JC CLEAN amp, modeled on the Roland JC-120, then add chorus and long delay.

Using this setting with a guitar equipped with single coil pickups makes great sounding arpeggios and chord strumming.

Depending on the phrase being played, it can be effective to set the delay sound's delay time slightly slower than the phrase's tempo.

This produces a raging distortion sound that is very trebly and roughly textured.

Setting the GAIN knob to prevent excessive distortion of the guitar sound results in a straight guitar sound with brilliant harmonics and powerful chord sounds.

You can also add the FLANGER to produce a sound with a powerful swirling effect, much like the sound from a jet.

Additionally, using the guitar's front pickup and raising the GAIN and MIDDLE knobs results in a fat lead sound with long sustain.

This sound enables you to achieve precision and subtlety in performance expression based on the relative force of your picking, allowing you to use the guitar controls to fully express all the nuance of your sound.

Strong picking results in a textured sound with tube-like compression.

Setting the GAIN knob to the optimal position gives you a guitar sound with great dynamics, more gentle picking delivers a clean sound, and the stronger picking also produces deep distortion.
