5 JC CLEAN channel

This is a model of Roland’s famous JC-120 Jazz Chorus guitar

amplier. The ultra-clean, ultra-at sound oers a smooth feel. This

amp is ideal for creating sounds in combination with a multi-eects

device.

[BRIGHT] switch

CUBE-80GX

only

This makes the mid and high ranges more brilliant, for acrisper

sound.

[VOLUME] knob

This adjusts the volume level of the JC CLEAN channel.

Asan original function on the CUBE, this can produce apowerful

crunch at volume levels near the maximum.

CUBE-20GX

only

You can select from the following six amp types:

Type Explanation

ACOUSTIC SIM

This original amp model gives you a dynamic acoustic

guitar sound using a standard electric guitar.

OVERDRIVE

Natural distortion sound similar to that obtained by

turning an amp’s volume up completely.

DISTORTION Harder distortion than OVERDRIVE.

METAL

Even harder and heavier than DISTORTION, which can get

long sustained notes.

METAL STACK Very fat sound of a Heavy Metal full amp stack.

EXTREME

High-gain sound delivering thick lows and intense distor-

tion while still preserving the sound’s clear denition.

CUBE-40GX/80GX

only

You can select from the following ten amp types:

Type Explanation

ACOUSTIC

SIM

This is an original amp type that includes an acoustic

simulator.

Using this type together with a single-coil pickup in the front

position produces optimal sound quality.

If you’re using humbucker pickups, turn down the equalizer’s

BASS and MIDDLE controls slightly.

BLACK

PANEL

This is modeled on the classic Fender Twin Reverb amplier.

It’s used in a wide range of musical styles, from country to

blues, jazz, and rock.

It features rich lows and a bright high end.

DLX

COMBO

This is modeled on the Fender Deluxe Reverb amplier.

This amp nds use in a full range of genres, including surf

music, blues, country, jazz, soul, and hard rock.

It features clear, clean tones and sparkling overdrive at high

volumes.

BRIT

COMBO

This is modeled on the Vox AC-30TB.

This is the rock amplier that created the Liverpool sound of

the 1960s.

It can produce a broad range of sounds, from clean to

overdrive.

TWEED

This is modeled on the vintage Fender Tweed Bassman 4 x 10”

Combo.

It produces a clear mid to upper range with a fat low end, and

its unique crunch tones with persistent distortion have earned

it aloyal following among blues and rock guitarists.

CLASSIC

STACK

This is modeled on the features of aMarshall JMP 1987.

Used extensively in hard rock in the 1970s, this is truly the

perfect amp for the “top rock” guitar sound.

METAL

STACK

This is modeled on the Peavey EVH 5150.

This is a high-gain amp, so you can get heavy distortion and

sustain even at low volumes.

R-FIER

STACK

This super high-gain amp is modeled on the Mesa/Boogie

Rectier.

This is a super high-gain amp. It’s capable of producing slash

metal, grunge, and a wide range of other lead sounds.

EXTREME

This original high-gain amp delivers thick lows and intense

distortion while still preserving the sound’s clear denition.

DYNA AMP

This is an original amp type that lets you obtain unprec-

edented 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 eectiveness. 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.

[GAIN] knob

This adjusts the distortion level for the LEAD channel.

[VOLUME] knob

This adjusts the volume level for the LEAD channel.
