AudioZ Exclusive | 27 April 2025 | 3 MB
The japanese company Roland went about a mission to create the ultimate clean tone machine and went with a transistor that has remained legendary and among the references for the best clean tones attainable until this day.

It is certainly a different feel and tone if you are used to tube amps. Not better or worse, just different and very, very musical at what it does. Many bands of the 80's used it for the clean tones across the genres and Metallica were no exception.

The surprising part is that the edge of breakup, crunch tones and sounds with overdrive pedals all sound really good when dieled in in a way that makes the transistor not go crazy and the gainstaging is done in a well balanced way.

The set includes 36 full Tone Models ranging from clean to lead gain levels and featuring various EQ settings per gain level. Please refer to the full list of Tone Models in the product pictures.
