IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
Repairs and Data
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used
by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a
refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner),
or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the
electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to
malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a
separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between
this unit and the electrical outlet.
• Please be aware that unit settings or the contents of the solo function
stored in memory may be lost when the unit is sent for servicing.
Important data should always be written down on paper. Roland
assumes no liability with respect to recovery of any lost data.
Additional Precautions
• Please be aware that unit settings or the contents of the solo function
stored in memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction
or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the
risk of losing important data, we recommend that you periodically
write down on paper any important data you have stored in the unit’s
memory.
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all
units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers
or other devices.

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not
use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including
padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use
equivalent packaging materials.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as
cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could
occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should
you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless
devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them
off.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that
incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables
can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear.

Use this to select the COSM amp type.
Soft picking produces a transparent clean amp
sound, whereas hard picking yields a deeply
distorted high-gain amp sound.
If the Tuner function is on, use this to select the string that you’re
tuning.
Once the sound is distorted, the tone then
changes according to the force used in picking,
greatly expanding your range of expression.
DYNA AMP
Type
Description
This is an original amp type that includes an
acoustic simulator.
Setting the [GAIN] knob at the optimal position
provides maximum effectiveness. Start with the
[GAIN] knob centered. Then adjust the [GAIN]

It can produce a broad range of sounds, from
clean to overdrive.
• When you want to switch the amp type and effect at the same time.
This is modeled on the vintage Fender Tweed
Bassman 4 x 10”Combo.
• When you want to switch the equalizer settings and volume level at
the same time.
It produces a clear mid to upper range with a
fat low end, and its unique crunch tones with
persistent distortion have earned it a loyal
following among blues and rock guitarists.
You can store one setting each for the JC CLEAN channel and for the
LEAD channel.
This is modeled on the features of a Marshall JMP
1987.
9. SOLO [ON/OFF] Switch
This saves panel settings and calls up it.

EFX, Reverb, and Delay on/off, and control the Looper function. The
connection diagram at left is a connection example that shows how
to use a momentary-type foot switch (FS-5U, FS-6). For details on
connections and settings when using a latch-type foot switch (BOSS
FS-5L; sold separately), refer to”Using a Latch-type Foot Switch”(p. 10).
6. RECORDING OUT/PHONES Jack
This functions either as an output jack for recording or as a phones
jack.
This features COSM speaker modeling, enabling production of
impressive guitar sound.
Adjust the volume using the [VOLUME] knobs for the JC CLEAN and
LEAD channels and the SOLO function.
1. TIP: DELAY/REC/PLAY/DUB
* When a plug is connected to this jack, no sound is played from
either the unit or any connected external speaker. This is handy at
night or in other situations when you want to avoid high-volume
sound from the speakers.

4. [FOOT SW TYPE] Switch (CUBE-80XL only)
This lets you connect a CD player, digital audio player, electronic
instrument, or other such device and play it at the same time as the
guitar.
This selects the type of foot switch that is connected.
When shipped from the factory, the CUBE-40XL’s FOOT SW TYPE is set
to the momentary type. For details on how to change this setting, refer
to”Using a Latch-type Foot Switch”(p. 10).
This accepts a stereo miniature phone plug. However, the speaker
and RECORDING OUT/PHONES output is monaural. Use a cable (sold
separately) that’s appropriate for the device you’re connecting.
TIP
* The CUBE’s FOOT SW (foot switch) jacks are
TRS type jacks, and support plugs of the type
shown in the illustration. Use TRS cables to
connect your foot switch.
* Determine the volume level by adjusting the volume control of the
connected device.

To specify the latch type
Turn on the power while holding down the [TAP/STOP] switch.
To specify the momentary type
* Even if FOOT SW TYPE is set to FS-5L (LATCH), you must always use
a momentary-type foot switch for TAP/STOP. This function will not
work correctly with a latch-type foot switch.
Turn on the power while holding down the [REC/PLAY/DUB] switch.
Important Notes When Using a Latch-type Footswitch Pedal
CUBE-80XL
The on/off state of the footswitch pedal takes precedence over the
control panel for switching EFX, delay, or reverb on and off.
Set the [FOOT SW TYPE] switch on the rear panel
to FS-5L (LATCH).
However, the on or off states of EFX, delay, or reverb stored in memory
using the SOLO function take precedence when saved SOLO-function
panel settings are called up. Such cases may result in conflicting
indicator displays on the control panel and the footswitch pedal, but
this is not a malfunction.
* The setting you specify is remembered even
while the power is turned off.

1. Set the SOLO [VOLUME] knob to 0.
You can save one setting each for the JC CLEAN channel and for the
LEAD channel. You can switch between a total of four sounds.
NOTE
If the SOLO volume is set high, the
sound may be unexpectedly loud
when the panel settings are saved.
Before saving, lower the volume to 0.
With the factory settings, the sample setting “Space Clean”is saved for
the JC CLEAN channel, and the “Extreme”setting (p. 16) is saved for the
LEAD channel.

* Note the following if you’ve set FOOT SWTYPE (p. 10) to FS-5L (LATCH)
Switching the SOLO Function and the LEAD
and JC CLEAN Channels
• If a foot switch is connected to the SELECT/SOLO jack, the panel’s
[SELECT] switch and SOLO [ON/OFF] switch will be inoperable.
• If SOLO is on, and a foot switch is connected to the EFX/REVERB or
DELAY/REC/PLAY/DUB/TAP/STOP jack, the foot switch’s indicator
may not match the on/off status of the CUBE’s EFX, REVERB, or
DELAY. If you want the on/off status of the CUBE’s EFX, REVERB, or
DELAY to consistently conform to the foot switch’s indicator, change
the setting for the CUBE-40XL/CUBE-80XL to “Foot Switch Priority
Mode.”For details, see “Using a Latch-type Foot Switch”(p. 10).
You can use the [SELECT] switch and the SOLO [ON/OFF] switch to

By taking advantage of the SOLO function, you can use the Looper
function and the delay at the same time.
Normally, you cannot use the delay when the [DELAY/LOOPER] knob is
in the LOOPER position. However, if panel settings that use the delay
are stored in the SOLO function, and you then turn SOLO on, you’ll be
able to use the delay while using the LOOPER function.
* Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a
copyright held by a third party. We assume no responsibility
whatsoever with regard to any infringements of third-party
copyrights arising through your use of this unit.
If you turn the SOLO function on while using the LOOPER function, and

This is an extreme sound with intense distortion.
This is a high-gain sound that packs a lot of punch in the low end, while delivering a great deal of edge in the upper range.
You can obtain variations in the sound by moving the [MIDDLE] knob.
If you turn on HEAVY OCTAVE, you can achieve an even greater sense of distortion in the low end.

[BRIGHT] swit
This is a transparent sound that uses spatial effects.
Use the JC CLEAN amp, which is modeled on the Roland JC-120, and add chorus, long delay, and reverb.
Using this setting with a guitar that has single-coil pickups makes for arpeggios and chord strumming with beautiful resonance. If you’re using a guitar
with humbucker pickups on CUBE-80XL, turn the [BRIGHT] switch to ON to achieve a bright, open sound.
Setting the delay time to a value that makes the delay sound heard slightly ahead of the tempo of the phrase played produces a thicker sound.
Surf Line

CUBE-80XL
[SELECT] switch=LEAD
[SELECT] switch=LEAD
This sound is perfect for the surf music popular in the 1960s.
Using this setting with a guitar that has single-coil pickups makes for an edgy sound.
Applying deep spring reverb and using muting picking and chromatic runs (muted picking with glissandos) produces the classic surf sound.

[SELECT] switch=LEAD
[SELECT] switch=LEAD
This is the slapback-echo sound used in rockabilly and country.
The BLACK PANEL amp produces a clean sound that is bright and sweet, with a powerful midrange and high end supported by a thick bass.
By making the low and high ends more prominent while keeping them balanced, and also suppressing the midrange if the situation calls for it, you can
bring out the dazzling resonance of the guitar even more beautifully.
The sound of a guitar that has single-coil pickups with heavy tremolo and reverb applied is also distinctive.
Loud Metal
CUBE-40XL
CUBE-80XL
Delay time = approx. 600 ms (reference)
Delay time = approx. 600 ms (reference)
[SELECT] switch=LEAD
[SELECT] switch=LEAD
This sound produces heavy low-end reverberations when lower strings are played while muted, and airy sustain when chords are played.
Playing with a humbucking rear pickup produces even more extreme distortion. What’s more, you can make the sound even heavier by using drop
tuning or other such settings.
When you want to make the distortion edgier on CUBE-80XL, boost the [PRESENCE] setting. Also, when you’re using this as the lead sound, raising the
midrange and applying a long delay produces a fat sound with sustain.

DYNA AMP is an original amp that uses relative picking intensity to create changes in distortion depth.
First, adjust the [GAIN] knob so that a clean tone is obtained with soft picking and heavy distortion is obtained when you pick hard.
Now mixing arpeggios played with a gentle touch along with firmly picked chords and solos results in a guitar sound with huge dynamics.
Now, to create a broader, more open sound on CUBE-80XL, cut the midrange and raise the low end and presence.
Using this in combination with the EFX as well as delay and reverb creates a sound with an even greater feeling of scale.
