With over one million Cube amps sold and going strong, Roland continues to push the envelope with innovative amp technology and design. The latest addition to the top-selling Cube amp family is the Cube XL series. Small and lethal, the 20XL is an affordable yet powerful new member of the XL family. The Cube 20XL delivers 20 watts of output through a high-performance 8" custom speaker. Its compact size is perfect for at-home practice and band rehearsals alike, and is conveniently portable. There are two discrete channels, JC Clean and Lead, plus Solo mode for extra boost. Six Boss Lead types are provided, including the new Extreme. Nine effects are onboard, including Heavy Octave, COSM vintage Spring Reverb, and Power Squeezer for full gain at low volume. An Aux Input allows portable music players to be connected for jam-along fun, while the onboard Tuning Fork lets you tune your guitar without unplugging.

The Cube 20XL offers two switchable channels: JC Clean and Lead.

The JC Clean channel provides pure, transparent tone. Channel switching can be carried out from the amp’s top panel or via optional footswitch (Boss FS series, sold separately).

The Cube 20XL’s EFX section provides six types of great-sounding digital effects, including Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo, Heavy Octave, plus independent Delay and COSM Spring Reverb. For hands-free selection, an optional footswitch can be used to switch the EFX on and off.
Tuner and Aux Input
The handy built-in tuner lets you tune while your guitar is connected to the Cube 20XL. Manual and Chromatic tuning modes are provided. In addition, the Tuning Fork function conveniently emits a reference pitch if you wish to hear an audible tone. Another useful feature, the Aux Input, can accept a portable music player for jam-along sessions with your favorite songs and backing tracks.
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 20XL, Roland meticulously analyzed and modeled an array of world-class amps and effects to bring you the versatile and authentic tone palette that these amps provide.

| Money Well Spent |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| This amp weighs less than 20 lbs. It's easy to carry and the edges are protected by heavy black plastic screwed into the amp. This is a closed back amp, but there are ventilation grids on the upper rear section. |
|
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| Just got it, but it seems solid, and Roland has a great reputation, so I have no concerns. |
|
| General |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| I am quite pleased with this amp. Looking for a light weight amp, I tried a few before getting this one. It seems the best came last. You'd actually have to hear one, or use one to fully appreciate what the Roland Cube 20 XL can do. The onboard tuner works well, and can be used in either Chromatic or Manual Mode. |
|
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| The controls are well placed, and are easily accessable on top of the amp. The power switch is up there as well. |
|
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| On the JC Clean channel, the tone is bright and articulate, with a tight bass sound. The effects are nice, and definitely usable. They may not be as adjustable as some would like, but Roland did a good job with the built-in settings (and they are variable). |
|
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
|
|
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| Unlike other amps, this one is easy to use. You don't need a computer hook-up to make an adjustment, and the controls are simple, and clearly marked. The foot switch option is great. With a two button foot switch, you can access the effects and lead channels. It just makes it a bit easier than using the buttons on top of the amp. |
