When life gets busy, it’s easy to feel like there’s no time or inspiration to be musical. The DUAL CUBE LX Guitar Amplifier is here to help reactivate that creative spark. Combining the latest BOSS technology with the perfect form factor to support music-making habits and lifestyle, here are four fun things to try with this desktop powerhouse.  

Go Mobile and Jam Anywhere 

Pop in a set of AA batteries, grab a guitar, and it’s ready to go. DUAL CUBE LX is portable and compact, perfect for an impromptu jam with friends. Don’t let its 10-watt power rating fool you, though. The immersive DUAL CUBE LX stereo sound can fill a room. Connect a phone via Aux In and trade solos to backing tracks, or use the looper function to create your own backing on the fly.

Hone Those Chops All Day 

For those of us working from home, there are plenty of virtual calls. After a long day of remote work, finding the motivation to sit down and play guitar can be challenging. Don’t fret. Well, do, actually.  

DUAL CUBE LX is ready to play at a moment’s notice. Sitting unobtrusively next to a work laptop, the DUAL CUBE LX stays conveniently out of view of the webcam. Use the precious minutes between meetings to de-stress and enjoy a quick jam before the next call.

Don’t Lose that Riff  

Ever had the perfect riff idea but forgotten it due to the time it takes to find an amp tone, set up microphones, and a DAW? DUAL CUBE LX provides a few great quick and easy recording options for any home setup. Its compact desktop form factor lets it stay set up and plugged in, ready for action when inspiration strikes. Record that lunchtime riff idea right now. Here’s how:

  1. Go straight to a computer using the USB connection. 
  2. If a recording interface is available, utilize the stereo Line Out jacks on the back.
  3. Use the Phones/Recording Out jack on the top panel.   

The difference between the Line Out and the Rec Out is that the Rec Out will mute the amp’s internal speakers, while the Line Out allows the sound to come through the amp. 

Bring Out a Mic 

It’s simple to plug a microphone into a DUAL CUBE LX. With the dedicated mic preamp, record a scratch vocal demo as easily as capturing that lunchtime riff. Experiment with all the onboard effects to inspire crazy vocal takes or plug a phone in via the Aux In jack on the back and karaoke like nobody’s watching.

Don’t Let Life Stop the Music 

For over 40 years, CUBE amps have wowed musicians with outstanding sounds, fantastic features, and incredible portability. DUAL CUBE LX keeps that tradition going strong. It’s the perfect choice for jamming with buddies, recording at home, or when we simply need more time to play guitar. All in all, the DUAL CUBE XL can help us better integrate music into our daily lives—one riff at a time.
