Roland BC TC NY New York Blues Tone Capsule

Give your Blues Cube a chiming British combo tone with real tube-amp feel. The Roland BC TC-NY Blues Cube New York Blues Tone Capsule is a plug-in module that re-voices compatible Blues Cube amplifiers. It was developed under the supervision of New York guitarist Oz Noy for players who want an expressive amp that also works well with pedals.

Why customers choose it

• Two worlds in one: it takes the amp toward the traditional British EL84 combo, often called the “class A sound”, while keeping elements of the Blues Cube’s American tweed roots.
• Clean channel that grows: classic chime at lower settings, then sweeter, creamier and more overdriven as the volume goes up.
• Crunch for rock: a bolder tone with thicker midrange for rock rhythms and lead solos.
• Feels like a tube amp: tuned for natural compression and quick reaction to your playing.
• Pedal friendly: Oz Noy tested it with his pedal-based lead tones.

Who it is for

Blues Cube Artist, Artist 212, Stage and Tour owners who play blues, rock, fusion or jazz and want a British-style voice in addition to the stock tweed sound, without buying a second amp.
