Not to be confused with what Roland did before, the Blues Cube Stage amps are absolutely new for 2014. The BCs is aimed at the, well, blues players out there, the ones who indulge in very little pedals in their set up & would deem digital technology an abhorrence. Yes, that's whom these amps are for so as you can see, there is a great risk of failing. However, Roland assures potential fans that the BC had been fine tuned to give above-average performance dynamics, particularly the ones that supplement blues-type playing & anything in league with this need.
The way I see it, it's a bold move ahead but one with a 50-50 chance of success. Blues players are digital heretics & winning them over is an uphill task. With digital technology, much tweaking is required before one can settle down one one's tone quirks & that's gonna be a challenge. Those blues cats out there are largely old fashioned & even the next-gen of blues greats embrace analog, vintage technology. Reserving further comments till they debut at the stores here.
