I spent several months researching the perfect amp. I mostly practice at home but wanted the ability to jam occasionally. I was originally going to buy a tube amp. However after serious research of the Blues Cube line I decided to go solid state. This amp plays and sounds like a British valve amp. I am absolutely blown away by the tone and build quality. If you are in the market for a 30 watt amp, I recommend you try this one. The adjustable wattage makes it perfect for practice at home or jamming with friends.

I've had it for 11 days now, and this is my new favorite amp. I've owned a wide range of tube, solid state, and digital amps, new and old. Everything from a silverface DR and a Mesa Blue Angel to custom made, single-ended, Class A tube amps. This one just sings to me. It gets the chime and the grind that the name would lead you to believe it would. And you can get all those sounds at any volume. The 30W setting is extremely loud, and the open backed cabinet fills a room nicely. The Roland Blues Cube amps go from 0.5W (super useful for cranked sounds at home) to 15W, which has a lot more volume and headroom. The 5W setting on the Hot models is extremely-useful if you want a slightly compressed, drive amp sound to hit with an overdrive pedal in a home or studio setting. The tone controls work wonderfully, and the Tone and Boost switches are highly effective. I leave the Tone on all the time for top end sparkle while playing clean with a Strat. I use the Boost for extra girth - it's basically like hitting the front end with a clean boost. It also has one of the best reverbs I've heard on an amp. This amp loves pedals. The construction is high quality (plywood cabinet). Roland makes bulletproof gear. But it's still lightweight and compact. Yes, it costs more than the Katanas, which are also great amps, but the power amp and the construction on the Blues Cubes are both more robust. The Blues Cube premise is more simple. It does one type of amp as well as it can be done, from input to speaker. When it comes to solid state amps, I find that is more satisfying for me than the Swiss army knife, multiple-models-plus-effects approach. If you want instant access to classic British Vox chime and Marshall crunch - all in a maintenance-free, lightweight package - give it a try!

The Blues Cube Hot "British EL84 Modified" is a special edition version of the standard Blues Cube Hot amplifier. In contrast to the American tweed sound of the standard amp, the Blues Cube Hot "British EL84 Modified" is tuned to produce the voice of a British combo with EL84 tubes, also known as the "class A" sound. Offered in classic black, the 30-watt Blues Cube Hot "British EL84 Modified" delivers convincing Brit combo tone in a compact, gig-ready combo. The New York Blues Tone Capsule circuitry takes the amp into the realm of the British EL84 combo often referred to as the class A sound. Voiced for classic chime at lower settings, the Clean channel becomes sweeter, creamier, and more overdriven as the volume is cranked. Switching to the Crunch channel kicks in a bolder tone with thicker mid range that's perfect for rock rhythms and fat lead solos. Dynamic and versatile, the unique tonal fusion captures the international diversity of the New York City music scene.

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.
