Owner’s Manual
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland CUBE-60 Guitar Amplifier.
These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit.
Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature
provided by your new unit, Owner’s manual should be read in its entirety. The manual
should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.
Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled
• IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (p. 2)
• USING THE UNIT SAFELY (p. 3–p. 4)
• IMPORTANT NOTES (p. 5).
This unit is equipped with a protection circuit.
The protection circuit helps ensure safety by operating when excessive input continues for
a long time while the device is at a location with a high ambient temperature. Sound drop-
out may occur when the protection circuit is actuated during use.
Please read through the documentation carefully to ensure correct use.
Main Features
• 60-watt output, high-performance, DSP guitar amp with built-in 30 cm (12-inch) speaker.
• Offers nine types of COSM amps, including realistic modeling of seven of the most
popular guitar amps and two original amp types, “ACOUSTIC” and “DYNA AMP.”
The newly developed “DYNA AMP” lets you achieve previously unexperienced levels
of tonal variation based on your picking dynamics, for whole new levels of expression.
Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) is Roland’s innovative and powerful
sound modeling technology. COSM analyzes the many factors that make up the
original sound, such as the electrical and physical characteristics of the original, and
then produces a digital model that can reproduce the same sound.
• Channel can be switched between “JC CLEAN” and “LEAD.” Channel switching can
be done via foot switch (optional).
• In addition to an easy-to-use, 3-band equalizer, the CUBE-60 also features a PRESENCE
knob, which you can use to create a wide variety of precisely defined sounds.
• Comes equipped with four effects types, chorus, flanger, phaser, and tremolo, along
with an independent system with the basic delay and reverb effects. You can also use
foot switches (optional) to switch these effects on and off.
• Equipped with a convenient “RECORDING OUT jack” handy for use in recording.
This output also functions as a headphone jack.
Also features LINE OUT, TUNER OUT, and EXT SPEAKER outs. These outputs can be
used for all kinds of performances, from recording to live gigs.

BLACK PANEL
1. INPUT Jack
This is modeled on the classic Fender Twin Reverb amplifier,
used in a wide variety of musical styles, from country to blues,
jazz and rock. Exhibiting rich lows and a bright high end.
Connect your guitar here.
2. SELECT Switch
BRIT COMBO
Switches you between the JC CLEAN and LEAD channels.
You can confirm which channel is selected by checking the
indicator’s color (JC CLEAN: green; LEAD: red).
The channel can be switched using the optional BOSS FS-5U
foot switch.
This is modeled on the Vox AC-30TB, the rock amplifier that
created the Liverpool sound of the ’60s. It can produce a
broad range of sounds, from clean to overdrive.
TWEED
This is modeled on the vintage Tweed Fender Bassman 4x10
Combo. The amplifier’s four 10-inch speakers produce a
clear upper-midrange with a fat low end, and its unique
crunch tones make it a favorite of blues-rock guitarists.
JC CLEAN Channel
This is a model of Roland’s famous JC-120 Jazz Chorus guitar
amplifier.
The ultra-clean, ultra-flat sound offers a smooth. This becomes
more effective when used in combination with a multi effector.
CLASSIC STACK
This is modeled on the sound and response of a Marshall
JMP1987. Used extensively in hard rock during the 1970s,
this is truly the perfect amp for the “top rock” guitar sound.
3. BRIGHT Switch
Creates a sparkling midrange and high end for a crisp and
distinct sound.
METAL STACK
This is modeled on the Peavey EVH-5150. This is the high
gain amp, so even at low volumes, you can still get heavy
distortion and sustain.
This is perfect for chord strumming with humbucking pickups.
4. VOLUME Knob
R-FIER STACK
Adjusts the JC CLEAN channel volume. On the CUBE-60,
distortion is gradually added as you turn this knob to the
right, producing a crunch sound as the knob is turned up
near maximum.
This is modeled on the MESA/Boogie Rectifier. This super
high gain amp is capable of producing slash metal, grunge,
and a wide range of other lead sounds.
DYNA AMP
This is an original amp sound that lets the player create
previously unobtainable tonal changes according to the
picking strength. Soft picking produces a transparent clean
amp sound, while hard picking results in a deeply distorted
high-gain amp sound. Once the sound is distorted, the tone
then changes according to the force used in picking, greatly
expanding your range of expression.
LEAD Channel
5. Type Switch
You can select from the following eight amp types:
ACOUSTIC
This is an original amp type included with the acoustic
simulator. Turns the sounds from your electric guitar into a
clear, refined acoustic guitar sound.
Setting the GAIN knob to the optimal position provides
the greatest effect.
Start by setting the GAIN knob to the center position,
then adjust the knob so that a clean tone is obtained
with soft picking and deep distortion is obtained with
hard picking.
Using this type together with a single coil pickup in the
front position provides optimum sound quality. If using
a humbucking pickup, slightly turn down the
equalizer’s BASS and MIDDLE settings.

Sample Settings
Alternative Metal
The perfect sound for heavy, sharp riffs.
Select the high-gain R-FIER amp, then use the equalizer to
boost the low end even more.
You can add even more to the distortion’s edge by raising
the presence.
Used with a humbucking pickup in the rear position, it
results in an extreme distortion effect.
Plus, you can add a long delay to use this as a lead sound
with great sustain.
SELECT : LEAD
Space Clean
This is a transparent sound using spacial effects.
Select the JC CLEAN amp, modeled on the Roland JC-120,
then add chorus and long delay.
Using this setting with a guitar equipped with single coil
pickups makes beautiful sounding arpeggios and chord
strumming.
If using a humbucking pickup, turn the BRIGHT switch to
ON to achieve a bright, sparkling sound.
BRIGHT : ON or OFF SELECT : JC CLEAN
Depending on the phrase being played, it can be effective
to set the delay sound’s delay time slightly slower than the
phrase’s tempo.
Swamp Crunch
This is a blues sound found in vintage amps.
The boosted midrange is a particular characteristic of the
TWEED amp.
By adjusting the TREBLE knob, you can emphasize the
picking’s attack sound.
To create a fat, sweet sound, reduce the presence a little.
To produce a transparent and sharp crunch sound, lower
the midrange and boost the presence slightly.
SELECT : LEAD
You can also control the tube amp’s characteristic sustain
by adjusting the GAIN knob.
Classic Rock
This is a 70s-style rock sound.
Turning up the gain produces a powerful rock sound in all
riffs and solos.
A powerful low end is a characteristic of the sound emitted
by the surfaces of the cabinet, so you can turn up the
equalizer knobs, especially the BASS knob, and increase
the presence to produce a sound with great punch.
Turning the GAIN knob and equalizer all the way up
produces an even more powerful, driving sound.
SELECT : LEAD
Turning down the GAIN knob is also a perfect way to get a
sharp crunch sound.

Sample Settings
Dynamic Style
DYNA AMP is an original amp that uses relative picking
strength to create changes in distortion depth.
First, adjust the GAIN knob so that a clean tone is obtained
with soft picking and deep 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, cut the
midrange and raise the low end and presence.
Using this in combination with the EFX and delay and
reverb creates a sound with an even greater feeling of scale.
SELECT : LEAD
Country Twang
A dry, distinctive country sound.
The BLACK PANEL amp has a powerful midrange
supported by a thick, solid low end, providing a clean
sound that is punchy and sweet.
By adjusting the sound while maintaining the balance
between the low and high ends, and in some cases cutting
back on the midrange, you bring out the guitar's bright
resonance even more.
Adding deep tremolo and reverb creates a good effect on
guitars equipped with single-coil pickups.
SELECT : LEAD
On guitars equipped with humbucking pickups, turning
down the highs creates a sweet sound that is perfectly
matched for jazz and similar genres.
Mersey Beat
This is the famous Liverpool sound from the past.
This sound features a mild distortion that still lets all the
notes in a chord come through clearly and distinctly.
Raise the midrange and presence on the BRIT COMBO
amp to create a lively, energetic sound.
Adjust the GAIN knob so that sound does not distort too
much when you play chords.
Use of a rear pickup provides a powerful sound with no
muddiness, producing a beautiful resonance when mixing
open strings with chords.
SELECT : LEAD
The sound may distort excessively when a guitar equipped
with humbucking pickups or other high-output guitar is
used. If this occurs, you can reduce the gain in order to get
a good balance between the guitar sound and the
distortion sound, or alternatively, you can adjust the sound
by cutting back the low end.
