Owner’s Manual

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland CUBE-30 BASS Bass Amplifier.

Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (p. 2)

USING THE UNIT SAFELY (p. 3–4)

IMPORTANT NOTES (p. 4)

These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, Owner’s manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.

This unit is equipped with a protection circuit.

The protection circuit helps ensure safety by operating when excessive input continues for a long time while the device is at a location with a high ambient temperature. Sound drop-out may occur when the protection circuit is actuated during use.

Please read through the documentation carefully to ensure correct use.

Main Features

Adopting Roland’s original FFP technology, this highly functional DSP bass amp features 30-watt sound output through a 25 cm (10-inch) coaxial 2-way wide-range speaker.

The amp is equipped with a total of seven COSM amp model types, including six of the most popular bass amps along with an original amp sound that mixes in doubled bass sounds an octave below those being played.

In addition to an easy-to-use “3-band equalizer,” this amp features a “Shape” function for even greater flexibility in creating sounds and rich sound variation.

The amp is equipped with a total of three bass effect systems, including “COMPRESSION,” an “EFX” system with CHORUS, FLANGER, and T-WAH, and basic “DELAY/REVERB”.

Equipped with RECORDING OUT jack convenient for use in recording and for use as headphone out.

Auxiliary input jack allows you to connect a CD player or other backing device.

FFP (Feed Forward Processing) is system control technology that optimizes the performance of the amp, speakers, and cabinet characteristics according to the signals being input, based on the results of analyses of the operation and behavior of each section of existing amp systems.

COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling) is Roland’s innovative and powerful sound modeling technology. COSM analyzes the many factors that make up the original sound, such as the electrical and physical characteristics of the original, and then produces a digital model that can reproduce the same sound.
