My 'Cube is about to Grow!

TheDragonReborn · January 25th, 2009, 03:26 PM

No, this isn't about some Magic 'Mod...

I own a Roland Cube 20x atm. Thing is, since I started playing electric
guitar again, my wife (who has been playing acoustic guitar for about 2
decades) has, regularly, asked me to hand over the amp & play on it (she
uses my Tele's with it). Since she handles both my amp & guitars with great
care, I'm not reluctant to let her use my gear.

Needless to say she's way a better guitar player then I am...
Guess that has something to do with expierience...

This weekend she really suprised me, though! This is what she said;

"Honey, I know you and I play different styles of music but I'd love to play
along with you. Maybe I could teach you some of that chord work you're
struggling with, if you'd like. Can I keep this amp? I'm so used to it. You
can buy another one like this or some other for, say 200 Euro. I really don't
want another amp, I love this one".

BAM! There it was... to be honest, I did not expect this! It made me both
happy & proud. At first I was a bit ashamed she noticed my chord troubles...
but then again, I really appreciate her offer for help!

So... I ordered the Cube 30x this weekend. I DID look into other SS/Hybrid
modeling combo's (for home use) but none of the ones I found seem
to be as reliable nor as intuitive to use as the Roland Cubes.

Yup, my 'Cube Grew!

She sounds like a "Great little woman!" Just might be a "KEEPER!!!"

Congrats. And in a year you'll will be wanting a Cube 60. c",)

Nice! My wife and I sing together quite a bit. Sharing music with a loved one is a wonderful blessing. Enjoy!

Cube 80X - The big Cube

Yup! That is why I proposed to her 12 years ago. We've been married
for 11 years now.

The new Cube arrived today, I'll post some pics of our "Cube Family" tomorrow

Of course, I had to try it! I'm already getting some really great sounds out of
it. The range of the drive sounds on the lead channel is much broader,
guess it will really take some time to discover them. Fun Time!

Size does seem to matter, although this speaker still needs to break-in, it
already sounds much fuller & richer than the 8" in the 20x. Even more excuse
to practice, yah!

Needless to say I'm quite happy now...
