hi my name is Kirk Fletcher and I'm here
today to talk about the Roland Blues
Cube amplifier and also the Ultimate
Blues tone capsule I've had a
relationship with Roland for about a
year now and I think with my input and
the wonderful people at Roland we've
come up with a really awesome Blues tone
capsule
touch responsive and has just a big
wonderful warm tone and you can
definitely just play it straight in with
no pedals or you can add pedals so it's
very flexible and it has a lot of
features but it's not too complicated to
use so you can definitely take it out to
the clubs or festivals or whatever and
it's really
[Music]
wonderful well
with the um the tone capsule and um my
input on it was to make it you know what
we started with was the fender uh super
Reverb amplifier that I had been playing
for for a long time and I wanted to try
and improve on that and make it more
flexible and to not have to use any
pedals and just be able to plug straight
in cuz I really for my sound the less
pedals I use the more I can um be more
expressive and just use my volume
control and have all the features in the
[Music]
amplifier one of the big things on the
blues tone capsule the Ultimate Blues
tone capsule is the headro it's
definitely I was U needing more
headro and also the um overdrive is just
like I said before it's like a
continuation of the clean it's just sort
of a little bit more
sustained the Ultimate Blues tone
capsule is very very flexible and what I
wanted personally was an amplifier that
could do a lot of different things you
know one of the tones that I really like
is a very clean Tone If you you know
there's not many amps that you can have
like a super clean funky a funky tone
and then have more of a bluesy tone in
the same end you usually have to play
one for Funk or you another one for more
of a bluesy sound and then one for even
more
[Music]
overdrive to being able to play you know
like funky or
[Music]
like and then being a play being able to
play like a bluesy more of a thing like
you
[Music]
know be able to have that flexibility is
just wonderful in one
[Music]
amplifier with the new Blues Cube
amplifier I think that Roland has really
made like the link between the amplifier
of the guitar and the mind like one in
the same I think it's all connected and
this is just as much of a musical
instrument as the guitar is because it's
a part of it cuz it's your voice and the
tone of the guitar is very important
what you want to say and the attack and
the response and everything is so touch
sensitive and that's really what I like
and I'm sure many others do too as well
