The DUAL CUBE LX Guitar Amplifier packs a lot of punch for a portable desktop powerhouse. Its streamlined, straightforward user interface makes it easy to plug in and quickly get great tones. Yet it also has so much more hidden under the hood. Here are three must-have accessories to take your DUAL CUBE LX to the next level.
FS-6 or FS-7 Footswitch
Adding a footswitch will immediately open up a slew of functionality in the DUAL CUBE LX. With a BOSS two-button footswitch like an FS-6 or FS-7 connected, players can now control turning the Memory function on and off and activating the onboard looper.
Looping with the footswitcher functions exactly like the classic BOSS RC-1 loop station. Press once to start recording, press again to overdub, and once more to play. Double tap to stop and hold to clear. That’s not all. Using the DUAL CUBE LX Editor, reassign each of the two footswitches to a multitude of functions. These include the following
- Memory
- Looper
- Effects Off/On
- Delay/Reverb Off/On
- Parametric EQ Off/On
- Tap Tempo
This functionality provides extensive hands-on control over the amp, which is great for jamming and live use.
BT-DUAL Bluetooth Module
The BT-DUAL is the Bluetooth module for modern BOSS/Roland products, with support for a variety of gear like DUAL CUBE LX, DUAL CUBE LX BASS, CUBE Street II, Katana Bass amps, and even Roland TD-02 series drum kits. Adding BT-DUAL to the DUAL CUBE LX opens up the following wireless functionality:
- Bluetooth audio (stream songs straight from a phone)
- Bluetooth MIDI (use the D-CUBE LX mobile app editor)
- Compatibility with EV-1-WL Wireless MIDI Expression Pedal
"With support for a variety of gear, adding BT-DUAL to your DUAL CUBE LX opens up wireless functionality."
EV-1-WL Wireless MIDI Expression Pedal
Already using the BT-DUAL Bluetooth Module? The next step is to get expressive with the EV-1-WL. This wireless expression pedal instantly unlocks a totally new effect on your DUAL CUBE LX: the pedal wah. Choose from six different models of wah pedal, and use it to make that guitar cry and sing. Naturally, one can also use the EV-1-WL as a foot volume controller.
Have an FS-6 or FS-7, as we mentioned before? That’s great. Try plugging it into the EV-1-WL to create the ultimate amp mini-control center. Using the FS-6 or FS-7 with EV-1-WL provides all the great functionality (looper, tap tempo, effects, etc.) as before, but now with wireless expression ability.
"With everything right at fingertip level, making music will be easier and more enjoyable than ever."
The Ultimate Desktop Rig
Adding Bluetooth functionality, footswitching, and expression is the ultimate way to expand the DUAL CUBE LX and create the most enjoyable desktop rig ever. With everything right at fingertip level, making music will be easier and more enjoyable than ever.
