The Roland Cube 40GX's JC Clean channel perfectly emulates the iconic Roland JC-120 studio clean used for John Sykes' ballad rhythm. We set treble to 7 and mids to 6 to capture the crystalline top-end clarity of the original track without harshness. The onboard EFX chorus knob delivers the signature wide '80s Lexicon/Roland modulation directly from your amp panel.
