1. INPUT Jack
Connect your guitar here.
2. SELECT Switch
Switches you between the JC CLEAN and LEAD channels.
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.
JC CLEAN Channel
This is a model of Roland’s famous JC-120 Jazz Chorus guitar
amplifier.
The ultra-clean, ultra-flat sound offers a smooth. This becomes
more effective when used in combination with a multi effector.
3. BRIGHT Switch
Creates a sparkling midrange and high end for a crisp and
distinct sound.
This is perfect for chord strumming with humbucking pickups.
4. VOLUME Knob
Adjusts the JC CLEAN channel volume. 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.
LEAD Channel
5. 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.
BLACK PANEL
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.
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.
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.
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.
