Re: Roland Cube 30 for Jazz Review

Funny that you mention the Polytone, which was my amp of choice 6 years 
ago. 
I owned three of them, all vintage models- the MegaBrute with the 15" 
speaker, the 103 or George Benson model with two 12" speakers, and the 
Teeny 
Brute with the 10" speaker, all with the original silver face control 
panels, and the black waffle speaker covers. I could kick myself for 
selling 
that Teeny Brute!   Stupid, stupid, stupid.

However, I think this Cube 30 is a viable competitor to the Polyone 10" 
amps, plus it has more tone options.  I think if they had made the Cube 30 
a 
little bit deeper, so it was more "cube like", and removed the port, it 
would sound more close to the Teeny Brute. The Teeny Brute was almost a 
perfect cube and completely sealed.

I wonder if anyone has put a higher wattage speaker in the Cube 30, like 
an 
EV of JBL....or even an Eminence copy of either, which I really like.
