Hi all,
Currently, I’ve a Roland Blues Cube Hot, that works fine for most things. It has some issues that I’m not totally satisfied with. I think it has something to do with headroom and with it being a small tweed amp, which of course is the nature of the beast. I like it when playing clean/semi-clean, but when I turn up the channel volume or use my Mad Professor Sweet Honey OD (especially with my ES-335 copy and especially when playing chords) it all turns into mush. It’s a very ‘compact’ overdrive sound.
On my practice amp (Fender Champion 20) I mostly play the ‘middle’ model of the tweed and blackface, which is supposed to be a Deluxe. I think the Stage is supposed to be closer to a Deluxe and the Artist closer to a Bassman. I would probably buy an Ultimate Blues Tone Capsule to get the Blackface sound.
Right now, someone is selling a Blues Cube Artist really cheap, but I’m not sure if it’s the right one between the Artist and a Stage. I don’t really need the extra power, effects loop and tremolo of the Artist (but the Presence knob is a nice addition of course), so I’m only interested in hearing how the character of Stage and Artist differs, if someone is able to describe it? I cannot tryout both amps, since no shops have them where I live
