Lead Channel - Roland CUBE-80X Owner's Manual

LEAD Channel

You can select from nine COSM amp types.
Type
This is an original amp type that includes an
acoustic simulator.
It transforms the sounds from your electric
guitar into a clear, refined acoustic-guitar
sound.
ACOUSTIC SIM 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.
This is modeled on the classic Fender Twin
Reverb amplifier.
BLACK PANEL 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.
This is modeled on the Fender Deluxe
Reverb amplifier.
This amp finds use in a full range of genres,
DLX COMBO including surf music, blues, country, jazz,
soul, and hard rock.
It features clear, clean tones and sparkling
overdrive at high volumes.

BRIT COMBO Liverpool sound of the 1960s.
It can produce a broad range of sounds,
from clean to overdrive.
This is modeled on the vintage Fender
Tweed Bassman 4x10" Combo.

guitarists.

Description
Type
This is modeled on the Peavey EVH 5150.
This is a high-gain amp, so you can get
METAL STACK
heavy distortion and sustain even at low
volumes.
This super high-gain amp is modeled on
the Mesa/Boogie Rectifier.
R-FIER STACK This is a super high-gain amp. It's capable of
producing slash metal, grunge, and a wide
range of other lead sounds.
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
DYNA AMP
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.
* The product names mentioned in this document are trademarks or
registered trademarks of their respective owners, and are not related to

the most practical way of describing the sounds that are simulated
using COSM technology.
