Re: what this? (Roland Cube Series)

["Krispen Hartung" <khartung@cableone.net>]

I haven't played live w/ the micro yet, but I messed around with it the 
other day in my studio...not bad for a little tike. It craps out a bit if 
you pump too much bass through it, which I tend to do when I play with a 
big 
beefy jazz tone with my neck pickup.  I have the Cube 30 too.

What I REALLY don't like about these cube series amps, and I think Roland 
should be drawn and quartered for this blatant and asinine lack of 
understanding of their target market, is that they didn't include an 
effects 
level. What the hell were they thinking? The delay is almost unusable for 
me 
because it is too wet.  I don't have a single popular CD with a guitar 
playing with that much delay level...it's always much more moderate and 
tasty. You are basically stuck with the same blasted effects level for 
everything.  If they could have just added another knob or made a ring 
knob 
on each effect knob to control the level, these amps would be the bomb.  
Too 
bad they f*cked this one up. :(   I'd like to write them and ask who was 
smoking crack on their design team when they decided not to include 
effects 
level.  I have the same complaint about most effect unit factory 
settings...unbelievable.  (I need to get a job for one of these companies 
and see if I can shake things up a bit.) Oh well, the amp sounds fine 
though 
with the reverb.

I wonder if there is a way to do a mod on the amps to create an effects 
level.
