thank you sir for putting my write-up in good stead.
it's good to know there are dealers out there who believe in a 3rd party opinion, there are others who are perturbed with what's being said about the products they are selling, especially when the product per se is lacking in many aspects.
i've played the CUBE30 countless times & believe that it's a good amp, a worthy practice tool/ an impressive starter unit. the CUBE30 going for $299 is hard to beat in terms of the default features on offer & the overall tone of the amp. highly recommended.
PS: i don't mind doing a test drive for you if i'm hanging out @ the store... 8)
