Main Features
• Adopting Roland’s original FFP technology, this highly functional DSP bass amp features 30-watt
sound output through a 25 cm (10-inch) coaxial 2-way wide-range speaker.
• The amp is equipped with a total of seven COSM amp model types, including six of the most
popular bass amps along with an original amp sound that mixes in doubled bass sounds an octave
below those being played.
• In addition to an easy-to-use “3-band equalizer,” this amp features a “Shape” function for even
greater flexibility in creating sounds and rich sound variation.
• The amp is equipped with a total of three bass effect systems, including “COMPRESSION,” an
“EFX” system with CHORUS, FLANGER, and T-WAH, and basic “DELAY/REVERB”.
• Equipped with RECORDING OUT jack convenient for use in recording and for use as headphone out.
• Auxiliary input jack allows you to connect a CD player or other backing device.
FFP (Feed Forward Processing) is system control technology that optimizes the performance
of the amp, speakers, and cabinet characteristics according to the signals being input, based on
the results of analyses of the operation and behavior of each section of existing amp systems.
COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling)
is Roland’s innovative and powerful sound
modeling technology. COSM analyzes the many factors that make up the original sound, such as
the electrical and physical characteristics of the original, and then produces a digital model that
can reproduce the same sound.
