jbird5150 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Just ordered a Firehawk today. Totally stoked, but now I need something to play it through for bedroom use... I saw where several of you have had good experiences with the Roland CM 30. But my son has a Roland Cube 20XL modeler that I can easily "borrow". If I set it to the clean channel with no effects, would it sound as good as the CM 30? Or am I better off going with a FRFR PA or monitor? Not gigging--just playing along with my favorites at home and doing a lot of tone matching. So trying to stay on the cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbeddall Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Plugging into the Aux in jack might give you the best sound because your signal won't be running through the roland modelling, you'll need an adapter to convert to mini jack The speaker might colour the sound some but as it's a modelling amp it might not be too bad, you'll have to experiment with having the speaker cab sims in the firehawk on or off (might be better with cab off) I think if you program your tones through this you might get good results, but don't program on headphones and expect it to translate well to the cube, it rarely works well that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbird5150 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Thanks for your input. I actually just pulled the trigger on a Kustom PA50. There was somebody else in here using it for the Firehawk with great results. Under $100 and should get me what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
