The DUAL CUBE LX offers many ways to play along with backing music from a mobile device or computer, including a stereo aux input, USB and i-CUBE Link Loopback, and an optional Bluetooth® adaptor.

Authentic Amp Tones

With its finely tuned stereo speaker system, the DUAL CUBE LX produces full, punchy guitar tones that belie the amp’s small footprint. Choose from eight versatile amp types, all with natural feel and organic response honed with decades of BOSS amp development. Whatever your style or skill level, you’ll find expressive sounds to build techniques and deliver inspired performances. There’s also a dedicated mic preamp type, allowing you to use the amp as a portable vocal PA system.

Onboard BOSS Effects

The DUAL CUBE LX includes a variety of BOSS stereo and mono effects to enhance your sound. Out of the box, you can spice up tones with four mod effect types or Heavy Octave and add ambience with delay or two types of reverb. If you want to go even deeper, it’s possible to change out effects and adjust settings via the DUAL CUBE LX Editor.

Deep Sound Customization

The intuitive panel controls on the DUAL CUBE LX make it easy to craft compelling sounds in the moment. Each amp type includes three user memories, allowing you to store all the knob settings for quick recall. And with the DUAL CUBE LX Editor, there’s a world of additional creative power to explore. Select different amp and effect variations, adjust detailed parameters, and more from your Mac or Windows computer.

Stereo In for Modelers and Pedalboards

The DUAL CUBE LX features a special Stereo In amp type for connecting stereo devices, complete with advanced spatial processing that makes it sound like you’sre playing through a much larger cabinet. By default, it provides rich, full-range sound for an amp/effects processor such as the GT-1000, GT-1000CORE, GX-100, GT-1, or IR-200. With the DUAL CUBE LX Editor, you can alternately choose a neutral guitar amp tone inspired by the famous Roland JC-120, giving you an ideal platform for exploring the stereo capabilities of pedals like the BOSS 500 and 200 series.

Expand Your Possibilities

With optional FS-series footswitches, you can operate the onboard looper and switch memories while performing. And by connecting the optional Bluetooth® Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor, you can go even further with a smartphone or tablet. Wirelessly stream music from your device and jam along, or use the iOS/Android version of the DUAL CUBE LX Editor to tweak sounds and control amp functions remotely. Or pair the EV-1-WL Wireless MIDI Expression Pedal for cable-free operation of wah and volume.
