Driven by Roland's acclaimed Tube Logic design, the Blues Cube Tour brings punch, presence, and authority to your backline. The flagship Tour head packs 100 big watts to provide ample power and headroom for concert-level performing. And thanks to its variable power control, Line Out, and USB connectivity, the Blues Cube Tour is well suited for tracking in the studio, whether you want to mic up or go direct.
Going far beyond modeling, Rolands Tube Logic design philosophy starts with carefully reproducing the inner workings of the revered tweed-era tube amp in every way, from guitar input to speaker output. Versatile clean and crunch channels can be used independently or combined for a complex range of tones, while variable output power modes let you dial in burning, full-throttle sound at any volume. Road-tested and fine-tuned with feedback from top players, the gig-ready Blues Cube delivers the sweet, magical tone and satisfying feel that makes a great guitar amp a highly expressive musical instrument.
Features:

• Roland's comprehensive Tube Logic design delivers the interactive tonal behaviors of famous fine-tuned vintage tube amps, including preamp and output tube distortion characteristics, power supply compression, and much more

• Master volume, three-band EQ, and Presence control, plus Boost and Tone switches on each channel
• Four-way Power Control (0.5 W, 15 W, 45 W, Max) allows for cranked-amp tones at any volume
• High-quality reverb, plus two effects loops for external devices
• Stylish, modern look with a vintage vibe
• Efficient, lightweight design provides easy portability without sacrificing tone quality
• USB output for high-quality direct recording to a computer
• Optional GA-FC Foot Controller (sold separately) for Channel Select, Dual Tone, and EFX Loops
A Compact and Powerful Stack for Your Backline
Armed with 100 watts of power, the Blues Cube Tour head is ready to support your biggest gigs with punch, presence, and headroom to spare. The accompanying 4x10 cab is the ideal match, offering four 10-inch speakers specially designed for projecting Tube Logic tone with balance, openness, and authority. Its open-back cabinet is built with poplar plywood construction, providing an acoustically rich and vibrant sound.
Effects, Foot Control, and Direct Recording via USB
The Blues Cube Tour head features onboard reverb plus two effects loops for patching in any external effect that you like. The rear panel has jacks for connecting an optional footswitch such as the GA-FC Foot Controller, which provides remote switching for channel selection, Dual Tone mode, and on/off for the effects loops. And with the USB jack, it's simple to capture the amp's rich tones directly into your favorite computer recording applications.

Product Experience I own it
Closest Store Victoria, British Columbia
You're probably thinking, $1,899.00 for a transistor amp head, WTF! Well this is no ordinary head. It sounds as good as any high quality tube head. I have a few. EVH, Marshall, Mesa Boogie. This Roland Blues Cube Tour 100 watt head has selectable 0.5 W, 15 W, 45 W and 100 W (Max) power stages. It has all the sonic properties of a high quality tube head but at a very low power consumption level, only 17 pounds weight, and all the piece of mind of cool running non-perishable transistor circuits. This map plays stadium gigs with ease. It sounds good at any volume level. Two independent effects loops, clean and crunch channels with complete low, mid, high eq for each channel. I love this amp because I can turn it on for 5 minutes to practice riffs and chord progressions. You don't turn on a tube amp for 5 minutes and then turn it off. Also, I can leave the transistor amp on for extended periods of time without worrying about tube life running out. And if i want to get distortion, musical feedback like I have heard Hendrix do, this amp responds like a Marshall stack. Roland reverse engineered Eric Johnson's tube amp characteristics and it is not modelling; it is a reconstruction of a the way a real tube amp interacts with an electric guitar. This amp was not available until 22 December 2015. I ordered it almost a year ago but I knew this would be the start of a new era on guitar amps. This is the future for obvious reasons. The price will come down as with any new technology. An amp to enjoy for hours per day for years to come.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
