Looks cool :AOK:

I'm a big fan of the Cube series.

Looks like it retails for about $400.

They look like a useful update of the Cube 60. Still no fx loop but they do have tap tempo on the delays and separate reverb so maybe you don't need a loop? The tuner looks less than great. Does the amp still have the tuner out socket which is great feature for two amp setups?

One of the coolest amps Roland made was the Blues Cube. It was a solid state amp that just had a great tone to it. They went out of production a few years back but were awesome amps. If you ever see a used one on ebay, they are worth grabbing. They didn't have the modeling aspect like the newer cubes, but they sounded great.
