Hey guys ?
My Marshall MG15 is slowly on its way out and I'm in need of a new amp with some effects. At the moment, I'm considering the Cube 80 - I play Metallica, AC/DC, Nirvana, RHCP and sometimes some Led Zep and Three Days Grace. Getting into Judas Priest as well.
I played a friend's Cube 40 and I was very impressed: the bass, effects and especially the clean channel. I wasn't too impressed with the metal presets though, which is obviously an important feature.
I reckon I'm ready for a new amp and I started working over weekends to save money to buy one. In a few months time I would like to play at a local bar with some friends, and I'm going to start going for singing lessons.
I don't want a "practice amp", I want something that can handle itself which is suitable for small gigs. I can buy a Boss DS-2 for about R450 from a friend, if that will improve the gain sound on the Roland (I am planning on trying out the Cube 40 with the DS2). I'm leaning toward the 80 rather than the 40 because of the extra volume, the external speaker out jack and the presence control know. But is it worth it?
Any suggestions appreciated ?
