Great little amp but it only takes three years for this amp to be so out of date that it's mind-boggling. This was state-of-the-art three years ago, now it is several generations behind. This amp does not replace tube amps. I bought 4 tube amps since. And one all digital amp with usable record out with great sounding cab sims. I also wanted a hand wired tube amp. The '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb. It has depth the Blues Cube does not have. Output tube bias tremolo. You have to hear it, play it to understand the attraction. I still use the Blues Cube in a practice setting but when I really want to have the best I play the Fender '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb.

This amp rocks, light weight and easy to dial in your tone. Power output switch works well. I use it for home, jam sessions and gigging and it hasn't let me down. Easy on the back as well the eyes. If you want tube tones without the hassle Roland has answered the call IMHO. Great for classic rock, blues, country!

Well-built, versatile amp. This amp, and the Tech21 TM60 are probably the best two 'serious' solid state combos on the market.

This amp replaced my Tech 21 TM60 (another terrific solid state amp). It doesn't have quite the oomph of the Tech 21, but it's considerably lighter, quieter, and much less complicated. In store, I tried out the Fender tube-based competition: the Blues Jr, the SuperChamp II, and the Pro. My guitar has single coil pups, and I found the Fender amps to be excessively noisy and (in the case of the SuperChamp II, rattly. IMO, the best solid state amps can come very close to the 'tube sound', and they're much more durable... further, they require no tube-warm-up time.

A transistor version of a Fender Blues Junior. However, the power scaling makes it more versatile than a Blues Junior. I have never needed to run it more than on the 15 watt setting. At home the 0.5 watt setting is perfect for practice volume. Can leave the amp on all day. Don't have to worry about tubes warming up, cooling down, making noise or dying. It plays like a tube amp with all the benefits and none of the deficits. It looks cool. Get desirable musical feedback when running high gain. I can play like a rockstar and the amp only needs 33 watts from the wall socket. Don't need a tone capsule because dialing in great tone is so easy.

Performance Warranty Banner

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: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 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.
