back in middle school me and a buddy would watch this video every weekend. this dude was a meme before memes were even a thing. how could someone NOT like Johnny demarco
He's just as nice in person! I had the pleasure of meeting him at a local music store. Really nice guy, told me how he got to be a Roland rep and even gave me a one on one demo of the Roland Cube and a Roland midi-equipped Strat. I couldn't say no to the amp at that point. Haters can keep hating, Johnny DeMarco is awesome.
@@bloodflower2141yep, I bought mine when they first came out and still play it today Unfortunately I think it’s on its last leg. Every now and then it will cut out or drop in volume. I did locate a cube 80XL on local Craigslist in near new condition for $200.00 There’s one on reverb for $500.000 😮
The very first time I saw this video, I was living in georgia,and married to a woman I hated, we were broke as all hell and I had sold literally all of my guitar gear and i was researching a cheap SS combo, and this guy really cracked me up. . . .12 years later, my life is totally different. . .I never did get a cube because I came to the conclusion it was just too expensive at the time, but thanks to this guy for making me laugh in what was really a dark time
I don't doubt it, he seems pretty versatile in those demos he does, but I just find his demeanor funny. But you can tell the guy has passion, no doubt. I like him, for what it's worth. I don't know if he's like that as an act or not. But yeah, He seems pretty cool.
I met Johnny yesterday at a small mom and pop guitar store in Texas giving a demo of Boss and Roland amps.I found him to be a fantastic player and a very down to earth intelligent person ,he answered all questions no matter how lame (mostley from me) and was about as nice a guy as you'll ever meet. Good luck in Huntington beech. GM
thank you Roland for making the best damn amp ever with the OG Cube 60. This amp continues to blow me away in 2023. Also JDM is an absolutely wholesome dude!
Great player, everything from gentle and beautiful to raw and powerful. I'd be smiling like that if I could play as well as this guy. Thanks for a great review Johnny!
I bought the Cube 60 amp back in late 2005 after watching this video several times. 17 years on, I still own the amp and works well, and coming back to this video is like revisiting an old friend.
Johnny you are the king! Now I'm even more happy I bought this amp years ago. Used it on quite a few jazz gigs but am now using it in a rock band. really versatile amp.
Johnny DeMarco is a legend and a really genuine guy. His short gear demos have more life and positivity in them than any other gear demos I've seen on RU-vid. For people leaving silly comments about Johnny smiling in the videos, it's called Enthusiasm and being happy - try it sometime Emos, it's fun.
I love your energy, the best live rev I've enjoyed on you tube, you are awesome, and I play blues, R&B, funk, and gospel bass guitar..............love it Johnny.
Hey you can't blame him for really getting into his playing and enjoying it. He was very helpful too. Great review, I'm interested to look more into this amp now.
ok, the longer i watched this video the further my jaw dropped, by the end it had gone thru the floor. I've been on the cube 60 in a shop, i was so amazed i nearly hyperventalated. DeMarco looks like an awesome guiarist. I'd love 2 learn that little bit at the end he was playing!
The "Dyna Amp" setting on this amplifier is one of the main reasons why I bought this amp. It gives me the opportunity to pick strings lightly without having to dial down the volume knob on my guitars to get a clean tone, while also providing distortion when needed without me having to stomp a distortion pedal (a distraction when playing live gigs).
