Sample Settings

* For information on how to set the delay time, refer to "DELAY/LOOPER" (p. 6)
Extreme
CUBE-40XL
[SELECT] switch=LEAD
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
Delay time = approx. 250 ms (reference)
[SELECT] switch=JC CLEAN
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
[SELECT] switch=LEAD
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.
