Los Angeles, CA, September 1, 2010 — Roland U.S. is proud to announce the CUBE-XL series of guitar amplifiers, the latest generation of its top-selling CUBE amp family. With over one million CUBE amps sold and going strong, Roland continues to push the envelope of innovative technology and design with the new CUBE-XL series, which includes the CUBE-80XL, -40XL, -20XL, and -15XL.

The CUBE-XL amplifiers include new ultra-heavy COSM amp models, updated effects, and onboard phrase looping. There are wide range of sounds from crystal clean to crushing metal, along with the addition of extra-powerful amp models such as Extreme, and Metal Zone. Among the many additional features found in CUBE-XL series amplifiers are onboard effects (including a new COSM vintage Spring Reverb effect), an Acoustic Guitar Simulator, and Solo and Memory functions (see below for the specific features of each amp).

The new CUBE-XL amplifiers come in many different sizes and feature sets to suit any practice or performance scenario:
