Owner’s Manual
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland CUBE-60 Guitar Amplifier.
201b
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.
Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled
•IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (p. 2)
•USING THE UNIT SAFELY (p. 3–p. 4)
•IMPORTANT NOTES (p. 5).
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 dropout may occur when the protection circuit is actuated during use.
Please read through the documentation carefully to ensure correct use.
Main Features
•60-watt output, high-performance, DSP guitar amp with built-in 30 cm (12-inch) speaker.
•Offers nine types of COSM amps, including realistic modeling of seven of the most popular guitar amps and two original amp types, “ACOUSTIC” and “DYNA AMP.” The newly developed “DYNA AMP” lets you achieve previously unexperienced levels of tonal variation based on your picking dynamics, for whole new levels of expression.
Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) 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.
•Channel can be switched between “JC CLEAN” and “LEAD.” Channel switching can be done via foot switch (optional).
•In addition to an easy-to-use, 3-band equalizer, the CUBE-60 also features a PRESENCE knob, which you can use to create a wide variety of precisely defined sounds.
•Comes equipped with four effects types, chorus, flanger, phaser, and tremolo, along with an independent system with the basic delay and reverb effects. You can also use foot switches (optional) to switch these effects on and off.
•Equipped with a convenient “RECORDING OUT jack” handy for use in recording. This output also functions as a headphone jack.
Also features LINE OUT, TUNER OUT, and EXT SPEAKER outs. These outputs can be
used for all kinds of performances, from recording to live gigs.

..........................................................................................................
009
•Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!
..........................................................................................................
010
•This unit, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.
..........................................................................................................
011

•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.
