Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.

Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

The unit should be located so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.

Always grasp only the plug on the power-supply cord when plugging into, or unplugging from an outlet.

At regular intervals, you should unplug the power plug and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other accumulations away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust between the power plug and the power outlet can result in poor insulation and lead to fire.

Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.

Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

Never handle the power cord or its plug with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply

Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Although the LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to connect the power cord’s plug should be one that is within easy reach and readily accessible.

Placement

Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.

This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on this unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.

Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

Maintenance

For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Please be aware that unit settings or the contents of the solo function stored in memory may be lost when the unit is sent for servicing. Important data should always be written down on paper. Roland assumes no liability with respect to recovery of any lost data.

Additional Precautions

Please be aware that unit settings or the contents of the solo function stored in memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of losing important data, we recommend that you periodically write down on paper any important data you have stored in the unit’s memory.

Roland Corporation assumes no liability with respect to recovery of any lost unit settings or contents of the solo function stored in memory.

Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.

To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you.

When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

No sound is output from this unit’s speaker or any external speaker when the RECORDING OUT/PHONES jack is in use.

Wrap the power cord around the cord hook when transporting or storing the unit.

Type

Description

 

 

 

This is an original amp type that includes an

 

acoustic simulator.

 

It transforms the sounds from your electric guitar

 

into a clear, refined acoustic-guitar sound.

ACOUSTIC SIM

Using this type together with a single-coil pickup

 

in the front position produces optimal sound

 

quality.

 

If you’re using humbucker pickups, turn down the

 

equalizer’s BASS and MIDDLE controls slightly.

 

 

 

This is modeled on the classic Fender Twin Reverb

 

amplifier.

BLACK PANEL

It’s used in a wide range of musical styles, from

 

country to blues, jazz, and rock.

 

It features rich lows and a bright high end.

 

 

 

This is modeled on the Fender Deluxe Reverb

 

amplifier.

DLX COMBO

This amp finds use in a full range of genres,

including surf music, blues, country, jazz, soul,

(CUBE-80XL only)

and hard rock.

 

 

It features clear, clean tones and sparkling

 

overdrive at high volumes.

 

 

 

This is modeled on the Vox AC-30TB.

BRIT COMBO

This is the rock amplifier that created the

Liverpool sound of the 1960s.

 

It can produce a broad range of sounds, from

 

clean to overdrive.

 

 

 

This is modeled on the vintage Fender Tweed

 

Bassman 4 x 10” Combo.

TWEED

It produces a clear mid to upper range with a

fat low end, and its unique crunch tones with

 

 

persistent distortion have earned it a loyal

 

following among blues and rock guitarists.

 

 

 

This is modeled on the features of a Marshall JMP

 

1987.

CLASSIC STACK

Used extensively in hard rock in the 1970s, this

 

is truly the perfect amp for the “top rock” guitar

 

sound.

 

This is modeled on the Peavey EVH 5150.

METAL STACK

This is a high-gain amp, so you can get heavy

 

distortion and sustain even at low volumes.

 

This super high-gain amp is modeled on the

 

Mesa/Boogie Rectifier.

R-FIER

This is a super high-gain amp. It’s capable of

 

producing slash metal, grunge, and a wide range

 

of other lead sounds.

 

 

EXTREME

This original high-gain amp delivers thick lows

and intense distortion while still preserving the

 

sound’s clear definition.

 

 

Type

Description

 

 

 

This is an original amp type that lets you obtain

 

unprecedented tonal changes according to your

 

picking dynamics.

 

Soft picking produces a transparent clean amp

 

sound, whereas hard picking yields a deeply

 

distorted high-gain amp sound.

DYNA AMP

Once the sound is distorted, the tone then

changes according to the force used in picking,

 

 

greatly expanding your range of expression.

 

Setting the [GAIN] knob at the optimal position

 

provides maximum effectiveness. Start with the

 

[GAIN] knob centered. Then adjust the [GAIN]

 

knob so that soft picking yields a clean tone and

 

hard picking produces heavy distortion.
