You can confirm which channel is selected by checking the indicator's color (JC CLEAN: green; LEAD: red). The channel can be switched using the optional BOSS FS-5U foot switch. This is modeled on the classic Fender Twin Reverb amplifier, used in a wide variety of musical styles, from country to blues, jazz and rock. Exhibiting rich lows and a bright high end. BRIT COMBO This is modeled on the Vox AC-30TB, the rock amplifier that created the Liverpool sound of the '60s. It can produce a broad range of sounds, from clean to overdrive. TWEED This is modeled on the vintage Tweed Fender Bassman 4x10 Combo. The amplifier's four 10-inch speakers produce a clear upper-midrange with a fat low end, and its unique crunch tones make it a favorite of blues-rock guitarists. JC CLEAN Channel This is a model of Roland's famous JC-120 Jazz Chorus guitar amplifier. This becomes more effective when used in combination with a multi effector. CLASSIC STACK This is modeled on the sound and response of a Marshall JMP1987. Used extensively in hard rock during the 1970s, this is truly the perfect amp for the "top rock" guitar sound. 3. BRIGHT Switch Creates a sparkling midrange and high end for a crisp and distinct sound. METAL STACK This is modeled on the Peavey EVH-5150. This is the high gain amp, so even at low volumes, you can still get heavy distortion and sustain. This is perfect for chord strumming with humbucking pickups. 4. On the CUBE-60, distortion is gradually added as you turn this knob to the right, producing a crunch sound as the knob is turned up near maximum. R-FIER STACK This is modeled on the MESA/Boogie Rectifier. This super high gain amp is capable of producing slash metal, grunge, and a wide range of other lead sounds. DYNA AMP This is an original amp sound that lets the player create previously unobtainable tonal changes according to the picking strength. Soft picking produces a transparent clean amp sound, while hard picking results in 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 to the optimal position provides the greatest effect. Start by setting the GAIN knob to the center position, then adjust the knob so that a clean tone is obtained with soft picking and deep distortion is obtained with hard picking. Type Switch You can select from the following eight amp types: ACOUSTIC This is an original amp type included with the acoustic simulator. Turns the sounds from your electric guitar into a clear, refined acoustic guitar sound. Using this type together with a single coil pickup in the front position provides optimum sound quality. If using a humbucking pickup, slightly turn down the equalizer's BASS and MIDDLE settings. 6 Panel Descriptions * All product names mentioned in this document are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners, and are not related to Roland Corporation.
