Type

Description

DYNA AMP

This is an original amp type that lets you obtain unprecedented tonal changes according to your picking dynamics. Soft picking produces a transparent clean amp sound, whereas hard picking yields a deeply distorted high-gain amp sound. Once the sound is distorted, the tone then changes according to the force used in picking, greatly expanding your range of expression. Setting the [GAIN] knob at the optimal position provides maximum effectiveness. Start with the [GAIN] knob centered. Then adjust the [GAIN] knob so that soft picking yields a clean tone and hard picking produces heavy distortion.

• Even if FOOT SW TYPE is set to FS-5L (LATCH), you must always use a momentary-type foot switch for TAP/STOP. This function will not work correctly with a latch-type foot switch.

Important Notes When Using a Latch-type Footswitch Pedal

The on/off state of the footswitch pedal takes precedence over the control panel for switching EFX, delay, or reverb on and off.

However, the on or off states of EFX, delay, or reverb stored in memory using the SOLO function take precedence when saved SOLO-function panel settings are called up. Such cases may result in conflicting indicator displays on the control panel and the footswitch pedal, but this is not a malfunction.

Convenient Applications

You can use either of the following settings to control operation when the panel settings for EFX, delay, and reverb are called up using the SOLO function.

Foot switch priority mode

Make the on/off state of the footswitch pedal always take priority.

To make the setting:

Hold down the [SELECT] switch and switch on the power.

Memory priority mode (factory setting)

Make the on/off state saved using the SOLO function take priority.

To make the setting:

Hold down the [TUNER] switch and switch on the power.

• The changed setting remains in memory after the power is switched off.

CUBE-40XL and CUBE-80XL are equipped with a tuner function. In addition to manual tuning, you can also use it as a chromatic tuner.

• Use manual tuning when the strings are substantially out of tune (such as after changing strings).

CUBE-40XL

CUBE-80XL

Manual Tuning

1. Press the [TUNER] switch.

The unit enters the Tuner mode and the TUNER switch lights up.

Once in the Tuner mode, no sound is played from the speaker, the REC OUT/PHONES jack, or the LINE OUT jack.

• The sound input to the AUX IN jack is output.

2. Use the TYPE switch to select the string that you want to tune.

Knob Position	Description
7B	Open seventh string of a seven-string guitar with an additional low string (B)
6E	Open sixth string (Eb) (CUBE-80XL only)
6E	Open sixth string (E)
5A	Open fifth string (A)
4D	Open fourth string (D)
3G	Open third string (G)
2B	Open second string (B)
1E	Open first string (E)
Ab	Open fifth string (semitone down) (Ab)
Ab	Open fifth string (whole tone down) (G)

• The reference pitch is A = 440 Hz . This cannot be changed.

3. Play a single note on the open string that you want to tune. Tune the string until the green indicator lights.

• The red indicator blinks if the pitch is substantially out of tune.

4. When you have finished tuning, press the [TUNER] switch once again.

Chromatic Tuning

If you hold down the [TUNER] switch for one second or longer, the [TUNER] switch blinks and the unit becomes usable as a "chromatic tuner," which automatically determines the name of the note closest to the one played.

As with manual tuning, chromatic tuning allows you to play a single note on the string that you want to tune. Tune the string until the green indicator lights.

You can save and call up the panel settings (those enclosed by the line in the figure) for sounds you create. On this unit, this function is called "SOLO." This is a convenient way to switch between a backing sound and a solo sound.

You can save one setting each for the JC CLEAN channel and for the LEAD channel. You can switch between a total of four sounds.

With the factory settings, the sample setting "Space Clean" is saved for the JC CLEAN channel, and the "Extreme" setting (p. 16) is saved for the LEAD channel.

Saving the Panel Settings

1. Set the SOLO [VOLUME] knob to 0.

NOTE

If the SOLO volume is set high, the sound may be unexpectedly loud when the panel settings are saved. Before saving, lower the volume to 0.

2. Create a sound.

3. Press and hold the SOLO [ON/OFF switch] on the panel for several seconds.

The indicator will blink. When the panel settings have been saved, the indicator will change from blinking to lit.

• Never switch off the power while the indicator is blinking.

4. Use the SOLO [VOLUME] knob to adjust the volume.

• Saved panel settings remain in memory even after the power is turned off.

Recalling the Saved Sound

1. With SOLO off, press the SOLO [ON/OFF] switch.

The SOLO indicator will light, and the saved panel settings will be recalled. The sound you created and saved for JC CLEAN will be recalled if the JC CLEAN channel is selected, and the sound you created and saved for LEAD will be recalled if the LEAD channel is selected.

• If panel settings have not been saved, or if you're using the CUBE for the first time, the factory settings will be recalled.

Editing the saved settings

1. Press the SOLO [ON/OFF] switch to call up the saved settings.

2. Turn the panel knob for the item you want to change, and modify the setting.

The SOLO indicator goes out briefly when the position of the knob coincides with the position stored in memory.

3. Hold down the SOLO [ON/OFF] switch for several seconds.

The indicator will blink. When the panel settings have been saved, the indicator will change from blinking to lit.

• Never switch off the power while the indicator is blinking.
• Once the new settings have been saved, the previous settings in effect before the changes cannot be called up again.
• To quit without saving the changes, press the SOLO [ON/OFF]switch or the [SELECT] switch.

Switching the SOLO Function and the LEAD and JC CLEAN Channels

You can use the [SELECT] switch and the SOLO [ON/OFF] switch to switch between the following four sounds

• Current JC CLEAN panel settings
• The SOLO sound you created and saved for JC CLEAN
• Current LEAD panel settings
• The SOLO sound you created and saved for LEAD

Channel	SOLO OFF	SOLO ON
JC CLEAN	Current JC CLEAN panel settings	The SOLO sound you created and saved for JC CLEAN
LEAD	Current LEAD panel settings	The SOLO sound you created and saved for LEAD

Use the [SELECT] switch to switch between the JC CLEAN channel and LEAD channel.

Use the SOLO [ON/OFF] switch to switch between the current panel settings and the saved settings.

• Note the following if you've set FOOT Sw TYPE (p. 10) to FS-SL (LATCH)

• If a foot switch is connected to the SELECT/SOLO jack, the panel's [SELECT] switch and SOLO [ON/OFF] switch will be inoperable.

• If SOLO is on, and a foot switch is connected to the EFX/REVERB or DELAY/REC/PLAY/DUB/TAP/STOP jack, the foot switch's indicator may not match the on/off status of the CUBE's EFX, REVERB, or DELAY. If you want the on/off status of the CUBE's EFX, REVERB, or DELAY to consistently conform to the foot switch's indicator, change the setting for the CUBE-40XL/CUBE-80XL to "Foot Switch Priority Mode." For details, see "Using a Latch-type Foot Switch" (p. 10).

Returning to the Factory-default Settings

Hold down the [TAP/STOP] switch and the SOLO [ON/OFF] switch at the same time and switch on the power. The SOLO indicator blinks and the settings saved with the SOLO function are returned to their factory defaults.

This function lets you record a phrase you perform, and then play it back repeatedly. You can also overdub additional phrases onto the recording.

On the CUBE-40XL and CUBE-80XL, this is called the Looper function.

You can also operate the LOOPER function using optional foot switches.

• The recorded phrase is deleted when the unit is turned off.

Recording a Phrase

Press the [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch to recording a phrase.

The basic operation will change as follows according to the state of the phrase.

1. Set the [DELAY/LOOPER] knob at LOOPER.

Set the knob at the maximum setting. With the knob at the maximum, the phrase will be played back at the same volume as when it was recorded.

2. Press the [REC/PLAY/DUB] button to start recording.

When you press the [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch it will blink red, and you'll enter recording-standby mode. When you start playing, the indicator will change from blinking to steadily lit, and recording will begin.

• If instead you depress the REC/ PLAY/DUB footswitch, the [REC/ PLAY/DUB] switch lights in red, and recording starts immediately. For details on connecting footswitches, refer to "FOOT SW" (p. 9).

The memory of the CUBE-40XL and CUBE-80XL can record a phrase approximately 80 seconds long. When you reach the maximum recording time, recording will stop automatically and playback will start.

3. Press the [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch to stop recording.

At the same time that you press the [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch, the [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch lights in green and the recorded phrase will switch to playback.

The phrase will continue playing repeatedly until you stop it.

4. To stop playback or overdubbing, press the [TAP/STOP] button.

The phrase will stop playing.

If you want to play again, press the [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch.

MEMO

If a phrase has already been recorded, the PLAY indicator will blink green.

Playing back the phrase

1. With the [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch blinking green, press the [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch.

• [REC/PLAY/DUB] will be unlit if no phrase has been recorded.

The [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch will light in green, and the phrase will play repeatedly from the beginning.

2. Use the [DELAY/LOOPER] knob to adjust the volume of the phrase.

3. Press the [TAP/STOP] switch to stop playback.

The [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch will blink green.

Over dubbing the phrase

1. With the [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch blinking green, press the [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch.

The [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch will light in green, and the phrase will play repeatedly from the beginning.

2. Press the [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch once again.

The [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch will light in orange, and overdubbing will begin.

3. To stop recording, press the [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch.

The [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch will light in green, and the phrase will play repeatedly from the beginning.

4. Press the [TAP/STOP] switch to stop playback.

The [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch will blink green.

Erasing the phrase

1. Hold down the [TAP/STOP] switch for two or more seconds. The [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch will blink red, and the phrase will be erased.

2. The erased phrase cannot be recovered.

Using the LOOPER Function and Delay at the Same Time

By taking advantage of the SOLO function, you can use the Looper function and the delay at the same time.

Normally, you cannot use the delay when the [DELAY/LOOPER] knob is in the LOOPER position. However, if panel settings that use the delay are stored in the SOLO function, and you then turn SOLO on, you'll be able to use the delay while using the LOOPER function.

If you turn the SOLO function on while using the LOOPER function, and then switch between JC CLEAN and LEAD, you'll be able to record your performance using the delay settings saved for each channel.

• Switching the delay on or off or changing the delay time is not possible.

Extreme

CUBE-40XL

CUBE-80XL

This is an extreme sound with intense distortion.

This is a high-gain sound that packs a lot of punch in the low end, while delivering a great deal of edge in the upper range.

You can obtain variations in the sound by moving the [MIDDLE] knob.

If you turn on HEAVY OCTAVE, you can achieve an even greater sense of distortion in the low end.

Space Clean

CUBE-40XL

CUBE-80XL

This is a transparent sound that uses spatial effects.

Use the JC CLEAN amp, which is modeled on the Roland JC-120, and add chorus, long delay, and reverb.

Using this setting with a guitar that has single-coil pickups makes for arpeggios and chord strumming with beautiful resonance. If you're using a guitar with humbucker pickups on CUBE-80XL, turn the [BRIGHT] switch to ON to achieve a bright, open sound.

Setting the delay time to a value that makes the delay sound heard slightly ahead of the tempo of the phrase played produces a thicker sound.

Surf Line

CUBE-40XL

CUBE-80XL

This sound is perfect for the surf music popular in the 1960s.

Using this setting with a guitar that has single-coil pickups makes for an edgy sound.

Applying deep spring reverb and using muting picking and chromatic runs (muted picking with glissandos) produces the classic surf sound.

Rockabilly Slap

CUBE-40XL
Delay time = approx. 90 ms (reference)

CUBE-80XL
Delay time = approx. 90 ms (reference)

This is the slapback-echo sound used in rockabilly and country.

The BLACK PANEL amp produces a clean sound that is bright and sweet, with a powerful midrange and high end supported by a thick bass.

By making the low and high ends more prominent while keeping them balanced, and also suppressing the midrange if the situation calls for it, you can bring out the dazzling resonance of the guitar even more beautifully.

The sound of a guitar that has single-coil pickups with heavy tremolo and reverb applied is also distinctive.

Loud Metal

CUBE-40XL
Delay time = approx. 600 ms (reference)

CUBE-80XL
Delay time = approx. 600 ms (reference)

This sound produces heavy low-end reverberations when lower strings are played while muted, and airy sustain when chords are played.

Playing with a humbucking rear pickup produces even more extreme distortion. What's more, you can make the sound even heavier by using drop tuning or other such settings.

When you want to make the distortion edgier on CUBE-80XL, boost the [PRESENCE] setting. Also, when you're using this as the lead sound, raising the midrange and applying a long delay produces a fat sound with sustain.

Dynamic Style

CUBE-40XL
Delay time = approx. 650 ms (reference)

CUBE-80XL
Delay time = approx. 650 ms (reference)

DYNA AMP is an original amp that uses relative picking intensity to create changes in distortion depth.

First, adjust the [GAIN] knob so that a clean tone is obtained with soft picking and heavy distortion is obtained when you pick hard.

Now mixing arpeggios played with a gentle touch along with firmly picked chords and solos results in a guitar sound with huge dynamics.

Now, to create a broader, more open sound on CUBE-80XL, cut the midrange and raise the low end and presence.

Using this in combination with the EFX as well as delay and reverb creates a sound with an even greater feeling of scale.
