ROLAND LAUNCHED THE Cube in 1978, and since then, the compact amp has been offered in more than 50 different models that deliver great sound and features in durable enclosures.

BOSS - Dual Cube LX

As many guitarists know, Cube amps are great for practice as well as performance on the go and onstage, either on their own for intimate settings or connected to a PA. Since the introduction of the Cube Street in 2021, the line has been offered by Boss, which has introduced the two latest desktop models: the Dual Cube Bass LX, and the Dual Cube LX, which I'll be looking at here.

As the name suggests, the Dual Cube LX is a stereo amp, one that features a pair of custom-designed four-inch speakers, stereo line outputs for connecting to PA systems and DAWS, and a stereo input mode for use with stereo pedals and modelers. Boasting an output of 10 watts (five watts per channel) from its stereo power amp, it's plenty loud.

The enclosure is compact, measuring just 13/16 X 6716 X 8 1/2 inches, but it packs some sizable guitar tones as well as useful features like a 45-second stereo looper, a headphone/ record out and facility for the optional BT-DUAL Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor (sold separately). The Dual Cube LX offers seven newly developed amp types: Acoustic Sim, JC Clean, US Combo, Brit Combo, Hi-Gain Stack, Metal Stack and Extreme. In addition, there are modes for Mic, when using a microphone, and Stereo In for connecting stereo devices.
