Ok so Roland launched their new cubes... But it looks like a step in the wrong direction.
I have always been a big fan of cubes and I own 2 of them. They're fun, built like tanks, sound good and have a ton of bells and whistles. It seems in the latest version they have swapped a few functions out for new ones. The looper function is gone and it now features an iOS link...
The looper was a very fun tool on the XL series and allows for some cool improv tricks. I understand not ALL guitarists will use this function, but still...
And then theres the apple interface... I dont own an iDevices since I advocate android, so I cant even use that function. I can see the merit in it, but I think its a bad move... Some solo artists can probably use it for affordable 'recording' etc., but there must be another way!!
