Product Review

Feature:

This amp needs additional adjustment controls on the effects. Right now there are just two effects knobs with several settings on each, which does make for quickness and simplicity though at the price of customizability of the effect. All other features are great.

Quality:

Oh yeah, this amp oozes quality. Totally solid, yet light-weight for its size and wattage. The pots are active not passive, so I won't be expecting any crackling ever.

Value:

First of all, this thing is compact for a 30 Watt, and very loud too. Need earplugs for anything above half volume. So that with the good distortion makes for a great value. Like others said, best in its price range. Only thing that might come close is the similar Vox, but the Vox is quite a bit wider than the Cube and for me compactness was important.

Desirability:

It will attract metal-babes. If you want the older gentler ladies, get a vintage Fender amp and wear dockers when you play.

Sound:

Sound is extremely good after some EQ adjustment to remove boominess on the bass. My favorite settings are "acoustic" and "r-fier." Acoustic is brighter, more compressed, and less twangy then the clean channel, makes for a great clean sound. R-fier is Pantera/Metallica style distortion ... smoothly heavy and articulate, does not sound muffled or tinny but rather beefy and well-distorted, allows easy and clear pinch harmonics and crunchy palm muting.

Ease of Use:

Gotta give it to Roland, this amp is extremely easy to use. Only thing I looked up in the manual was how to use the chromatic version of the tuner. Involved holding the tuner button down for a full second, that's all. Everything else is intuitive.

Support:

Haven't used it, but everything I've heard/read says Roland provides good support.

Overall:

This is the amp I was looking for. Wanted something that was loud, compact, good value, good quality, with distortion that brings a smile to my face. It did all these. Played a Schecter Damien-6 through it, and sounds awesome. It's the best amp I could have gotten for the money. Almost went with the 20X but changed my mind after realizing only the 30X had the r-fier (mesa/boogie emulator) and I absolutely needed massive gain.

Product Review

"Everything you could ask for in a guitar... especially the price"

Feature:

When I got this guitar, everything was perfectly set up. I was able to plug it right in and play, and I was really happy with that. The action was set to perfection. One thing I did notice though, is that the screws in the bridge tend to rattle when you're playing. Mine was especially true for the B and high-E strings. But you really can't hear that through the amp so it's easy to work past. All I can say is I wish this had a whammy bar, but that's just personal preference.

Quality:

This guitar is extrememly reliable and besides the aformentioned looseness of those bridge screws, you can totally depend on it to keep going and going through the years.

Value:

You simply can't beat this price. I actually got mine cheaper than its price now. It's truly a price that can't be beat for this quality.

Desirability:

Everything about this guitar's appearance is beautiful. It really makes me feel confident when I'm playing in front of people, because I look down at this incredible piece of equipment I have in my hands, and think to myself, "Yeah, that's right, that's MY guitar."

Sound:

No matter where I plug this guitar in it sounds amazing. The clean tones are crisp and well-defined, and when you throw distortion into the mix, it's raw and crunchy. I play a lot of hard rock and metal (mostly Metallica), and this guitar really helps me achieve the kind of sound i'm looking for. I really couldn't ask for a better sounding guitar. And at the price, it's just incredible.

Ease of Use:

This guitar is so easy to use. Every time I pick it up I'm able to create new and exciting sequences. The harmonics are incredible, and actually quite easy to achieve. You can really do some cool stuff with this guitar.

Support:

Well, I've never needed support, but knowing Epiphone, it's probably good.

Overall:

I'm already in the search for a new guitar, but this one will always be held dear to me. I'll never get rid of this guitar, even if everything gets rundown and broken...which isn't likely.

History:

Purchase:

I an fifty now and when I look back there is only one type guitar that made a great impression on me. A Les Paul. I didn't have the money to buy a expensive Gibson. So when I was at the musicstore there she was standing a beatiful Stagg Les Paul colour sunburst. The price, 120 dollar. For such a beauty I want to give it a change.

What I Like About This Unit:

The paint looks nice and is very good. Also at the back of the guitar. The sound is straight and almost like a orginal Les Paul. I have the guitar now 3 monthts. I only had to tune it once.

What I Do NOT Like About The Stagg L320CS Les Paul:

There is only one thing that I don't like. The bass control on the guitar. You will expect it glides nicely, but it shocks to much.

L320CS Les Paul Quality:

The quality is more than you may expect for that price. It is made of wood. Good painting. It glitters when there is some light. The sound of the guitar is stable. Even when there are temperature fluctuations. Not for a few days, but for weeks without tuning.

Summary:

have the guitar now for four months. I am very pleased with it. It's good quality for that price. At the top of the neck there is a great label with Stagg on it. Stagg shows at this way that it stands for quality. And they are.....................

Date: 2002-12-27

History:

Purchase:

I really wanted a Les Paul type guitar and could not afford a mid to higher end model at that time. I searched lots of music stores online and also checked E Bay. In the end I bought my L320cs off of a supplier on E Bay for £99 plus £10 p&p. Now you can get the same guitar from the same supplier for £89 plus £10 p&p.

What I Like About This Unit:

I like this guitar because it is solidly built, has the exact look I was looking for and is extremely good value for the money I paid for it.

What I Do NOT Like About The Stagg L320 CS:

The G string continually comes out of tune, which is really annoying. The pick up switch doesn't glide easily between settings and the covers on the back weren't cut exactly to size which means there are little gaps around the perimetre's of the covers.

L320 CS Quality:

Again, it is solidly built for the price, but some of the parts don't fit snuggly, especially the back covers, in which the gaps arounds parts of it are quite noticable. The colour is beautiful, although when sunlight shines on it, it can look quite plasticy!

Summary:

For the price, it is an excellent guitar. If your going to pay only a £100 for a mass produced, cheap guitar, you can't expect %100 perfect quality. If you are looking for a cheap Les Paul, first guitar, cheap practice guitar or even if it's all you can afford at the moment, then I can HIGHLY recommend this model. I have rated this guitar according to the basis of comparing guitars in the low end price range, which is why i gave it 4 out of 5, if I was comparing this guitar to ALL guitars then obviously compared to a Gibson it would be a 1 out of 5!
