Blues Cube Ultimate Blues Tone Capsule

The Tone Capsule is a modification circuit unit that changes the tube circuit characteristic of the original Blues Cube. The original Blues Cube produces rich and bold blues tone based on the characteristic of the 6L6 tube by Tube Logic. On the other hand, the Ultimate Blues Tone Capsule produces the sweet and deep compression feeling of a fully cranked-up small amp with 6V6 tubes, notably the small blackface amps famously used in numerous historical recordings. Generally, amps with 6V6 tubes aren’t very loud, but the Blues Cube with the Ultimate Blues Tone Capsule delivers sufficient output power even on the stage. Developed by Roland engineers under the supervision of blues guitarist Kirk Fletcher, the Ultimate Blues Tone Capsule fine-tunes the amp to suit his requirements, capturing both his soulful clean and sweet crunch sounds.

Of course, everyone is looking for the sound that suits them best, and my opinion, of course, cannot satisfy all musicians. However, I would like to share my experience with capsule tones that I have used. First, the Eric Johnson signature, then the excellent Robben Ford, but I must say that this Ultimate Blues version is exceptional, or more accurately, the one that produces the sound I am looking for in the blues register: deep, full, precise, warm, from soft to subtle crunch that works well for me to convey emotions. The sound will change depending on whether I use a Strat or a Tele, but it will always be within the same excellent quality. As a result, I have eliminated the many pedals that cluttered my setup, and I now play live on my amp. Happy playing to everyone!

Sound

Quickly switch between a wide range of tones, achieving a warm blues sound. Ideally, there would be a way to switch to a specific tone setting without having to repeatedly plug and unplug the tone capsule.
