Product Description
The CUB 10's Class A/B output section gives the amp a nicely pronounced midrange - which is where the natural frequencies of the guitar instrument sit. This means that the CUB 10 has a very natural and responsive mid range when run clean. Push the amp a little harder and things begin to get very Zeppelin-esque - think "Heartbreaker". Hit the strings harder and the amp breaks up ever so responsively, dial in more gain and the amp really starts to cook with vintage tone. The pair of 6V6GT's work hard to give plenty of low-end punch for a small tube amp, perfect for a bluesy solo.Laney Amps CUB All TUBE Series CUB 10 10-Watt 1x10 Guitar Combo Amplifier Review
A few years back, my musical tastes changed a bit & I traded in a lot of my high-end guitar gear (including my tube amps) for solid state PAs and analog synthesizers. Recently though, my style is changing to include a lot more guitar into my sound, so I wanted to get another tube amp for practice.My last amp was a Fender Twin Reverb, so obviously I had pretty unrealistically high expectations to follow up, especially with a 10-watt amp under $200. However, I was blown away by how great this little Laney Cub sounds. The tone is gorgeous and the gain switch & low/high inputs allow for a wide range of sounds, between incredibly clean to beautifully warm & overdriven. It plays really nice with all of my pedals, and it's built beautifully and solidly. It's also crazy light for a tube amp!
I'm sure a lot of people are concerned about this thing not being loud enough. I can say with all certainty that unless you plan on gigging this thing at a large hall, you have no worries. I can't put the follow up past 3 without the neighbors knocking on the walls. I haven't gigged with it yet, but I have do doubts that it would work perfectly for a solo acoustic gig at small venue like a coffee shop.
My nitpicky complaints: it would have been nice to have had a headphone jack and effects loop, but it's certainly not necessary & probably would have driven the cost up. The external speaker out is a great addition though. Just wish it also had a direct line out for recording with.
These are all minor though. This amp is a steal at $200. If you're looking for a small, light all-tube amp for practice or small gigs, look no further.
