Description

The Line 6 Powercab CL 112 is a 100-watt active guitar speaker cabinet with a single 12-inch speaker, built to work with modeling processors and amp modelers by combining a powered amplifier stage with selectable speaker cabinet impulse response (IR) modeling. It lets players run modelers directly into a purpose-built active cabinet rather than a traditional passive guitar cabinet or a full-range PA speaker.

The Roland Blues Cube Artist 212 is an 85-watt, 2x12 guitar combo amplifier from Roland's acclaimed Blues Cube series, using Roland's Tube Logic technology to replicate genuine tube amp dynamics and response through a solid-state platform. Designed specifically to capture the feel and touch-sensitivity of a real tube amp without tubes, it targets blues and rock players wanting authentic amp-like response with modern reliability.
