Amazing little amp
I want the same amp for home practice, for recording and for band situations, I just want one. The Cub handles att that with excellence. It's small light weight and sounds great. It sounds good at low volume and can get more than loud enough for most gigging situations.
If you buy this amp expecting it will sound exactly like one of the original amps you'll probably be disappointed, but it is definitely in the ball park of all of them and sounds great in its own right. The built in cab sim on the line out is among the best I've heard, I don't even load any IR's in the DAW anymore. The separate volume controls for the speaker and line out is also a great feature, especially if you want to double track line and mic. The limiter is a nice touch and gives the amp a sort of spongy, dynamic feel. There is not a single feature I miss on it. The three channels are similarly voiced but there's enough difference between them that they all bring something unique to the table.
It is a rather bright amp, the speaker might be partly to blame but the much of the same brightness can be heard through the line out. I found it diffucult to tame the brightness at first but once I figured out the rather interactive EQ I was fine. A lot of the pick attack also shines through and I find myself rolling back more volume on the guitar than I'm used to. Its weakest point is the reverb, it's serviceable and if you have nothing else it's OK but I use a pedal instead. For these reasons I'd probably have given it 4.5 out of 5 on sound.
For a pretty fair price you get an amp that gives you three calssic F-type tones, is highly portable and works both at home and at a gig. For me at least, the EQ section took some getting used to but now I love it.
