Compact enough to grab and go, yet powerful enough for serious stage and studio work.

Second only in size and power to the flagship CUBE-80XL, the CUBE-40XL guitar combo amp is compact enough to grab and go, yet powerful enough for serious stage and studio work. The CUBE-40XL combo provides 40 watts of power through a 10" high-performance custom speaker. There are two discrete, footswitchable (with optional footswitch) channels—JC Clean and Lead—with Solo settings for each. 10 COSM amp models are onboard, including the new Extreme, and eight effects including the new Heavy Octave and COSM vintage Spring Reverb, plus an 80-second Phrase Looper.

Amp Factory
The CUBE-40XL houses a killer collection of COSM amp models. With the twist of a knob, you can choose instantly from an authentic and awe-inspiring collection, including Tweed, Brit Combo, Black Panel, Classic Stack, R-Fier, Acoustic Simulator, and the new Extreme. It's like having 11 coveted amps in one!

Multi-Channel Flexibility
Switch instantly between Lead and JC Clean channels, and activate Solo settings for each. Channels can be selected manually from the control panel or via an optional BOSS FS Series footswitch. When it's time to shine onstage, activate the Solo mode, complete with dedicate Volume knob and memory for storing your favorite sound setups for the Lead and JC Clean channels.

EFX & Looper
High-quality Roland/BOSS effects are built into the CUBE-40XL. Choose from a variety of reverbs, delays, and more, plus the new Heavy Octave for massive bottom end, and activate the Power Squeezer for achieving full-gain tone at low volumes. Also onboard is a sound-on-sound Looper for creating impressive layers of sound and dazzling solos on the spot. Up to 80 seconds of audio can be captured and looped.

COSM® Defined
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. In designing the CUBE-XL series, Roland meticulously analyzed and modeled array of world-class amps and effects to bring you the versatile and authentic tone palette that these amps provide.

The Ultimate Practice Amp!!!!

Overall:

This Little amp is perfect for recording and practice, I have owned a dozen practice amps, this one is the best by far, I have even taken this amp to small bars on open mic nites and it rocks. I wish the footswitch came with the amp. Voodoo labs makes a switch designed specifically for this amp ($100) and they sell it on ebay. Also there is no output for an extension speaker. Other than that its great, all the amp mods sound great and you can get loads of different sounds out of each one. The built in effects are great.I have no issue with the 10' speaker, it kicks a$$. If you want something for your bedroom, practice room or studio look no further, a great practice amp. I have tried line 6 amps that cost much more, this one is better. Gets a reasonable,good ,tube sound for a solidstate amp.

My first non acoustic amp

| Review By: Gary Bollinger | 3 months, 1 week ago

3 people out of 3 found this review helpful

Features:

Loaded with capability for clean to dirty sounds.  Amazing power with the ability to play softly on reduced output setting.  It will take a while to discover all the sounds it is capable of.  It can be used nicely in the bedroom with the power squeezer feature (restricts output to 2 Amps).  It seems to have every input and output you could use for a practice amp or more.

Quality:

Very well made case with good feel to the switch gear.  Amp gives a very smooth and rich clean tone with no hum.

Value:

Compared to other products on the market it is hard to believe the low price on this amp.  

Overall:

This amp was selected because of it's reputation for a rich clean sound and it lives up to it well.  It is also very versatile in amp modeling features and high gain sound capability.  I could have been happy with the 20 Amp version but the features pulled me to purchase this one.  I would recomment this one to a friend.

Fantastis practice amp!

| Review By: Chadd Burgan | 4 months, 2 weeks ago

4 people out of 4 found this review helpful

Features:

This amp is a guitar players dream! It has a wide variety of effects all BOSS quality, The looper comes in very handy and the auxilary jack is very nice. It is simple to use and well put together. You really can achieve ANY sound you want. My only complaint is that it does not come with any footswitches for switching between the channels and the boss ones that go with it are not exactly cheap. Switching between clean and other channels is not my issue its activating the looper that is a problem, its very hard to record yourself then stop playing to turn it off because it creates a gap in the recording, but it is not a dealbreaker. Also Im guessing it is loud enough to keep up with certain drums depending on what style you are playing which I find very impressive for a 40 watt amp.

Quality:

This thing is built like a tank. when I purchased it I was not aware of its construction, I went on Rolands web site and watched all the promo videos and was very suprised at how well it is put together, even at loud volumes nothing on this amp rattles.

Value:

I would say this amp is a GREAT value especially if you are using it for practice and recording, Like I said earlier you get all BOSS effects built into to one little unit so you bypass buying all the stomp boxes. And the sound is simply amazing, even at high volumes it does not break up as a normal solid state amp would. 

Overall:

Overall I would reccomend this amp to all guitar players, beginners to professionals, it comes with everything you could possibly need. I am VERY pleased with my purchase.

Great Job Roland

Overall:

This an incredible sounding amp.  I really don't think anything else in this price range could touch it.  I was looking for a small portable amp that would help round out the low mids and bottoms of my guitars but was somewhat hesitant to go with the 40xl with only a 10" speaker.  As it turns out I had nothing to be concerned about.  It does an incredible job of doing just that without losing any of the clarity, twang and sparkle of my Telecasters.  What amazes me as much as anything is this little gem actually sounds much bigger than it is.  It's very loud and very full at higher volumes yet it still retains it's basic character at home in the practice room at much lower volumes.  Built to withstand some knocks and bumps it's not an amp anyone should be shy about carting to a gig.  The amp models are very realistic given that a 40w amp with a 10" speaker is emulating much larger rigs.  The effects are nice but due to the difficulty in combining them I'll be using my pedals with the exception of the reverb setting and a tremolo.  The only area where I knocked it back from perfect score was in it's features.  Even an amp this small should be equipt with a direct out and an extension speaker jack.  This amp is good enough to gig with and that added flexibility would have been nice even if it had added $50 more to it's cost.  Shame on Roland for overlooking that since that's all the more it needs to be a perfect small amp.

good, not great

| Review By: Robert Marriott | 8 months, 1 week ago

2 people out of 5 found this review helpful

Features:

loaded with features. the effects are good. often a bit digital sounding. the closed back sound is something i am not used to, but it is not a bad thing. the low end booms.

Quality:

very solid construction. pretty sure i could throw it down a flight of stairs and it would be no worse for wear.

Value:

as a beginner amp, i give it a solid 10. as a practice amp for a more advanced player, i give it a 6... so i just averaged the two. the tone is just not there, but it sounds a whole lot better than my first amp.

Overall:

the sound is souless and lacks anything approaching a decent tone to my ear. i tried everything to dial it in. it jsut wasn't for me. for a beginner, i would recommend this amp.
