This is the slapback-echo sound used in rockabilly and country.
The BLACK PANEL amp produces a clean sound that is bright and sweet, with a powerful midrange and high end supported by a thick bass.
By making the low and high ends more prominent while keeping them balanced, and also suppressing the midrange if the situation calls for it, you can
bring out the dazzling resonance of the guitar even more beautifully.
The sound of a guitar that has single-coil pickups with heavy tremolo and reverb applied is also distinctive.

This sound produces heavy low-end reverberations when lower strings are played while muted, and airy sustain when chords are played.
Playing with a humbucking rear pickup produces even more extreme distortion. What’s more, you can make the sound even heavier by using drop
tuning or other such settings.
When you want to make the distortion edgier on CUBE-80XL, boost the [PRESENCE] setting. Also, when you’re using this as the lead sound, raising the
midrange and applying a long delay produces a fat sound with sustain.

DYNA AMP is an original amp that uses relative picking intensity to create changes in distortion depth.
First, adjust the [GAIN] knob so that a clean tone is obtained with soft picking and heavy distortion is obtained when you pick hard.
Now mixing arpeggios played with a gentle touch along with  rmly picked chords and solos results in a guitar sound with huge dynamics.
Now, to create a broader, more open sound on CUBE-80XL, cut the midrange and raise the low end and presence.
Using this in combination with the EFX as well as delay and reverb creates a sound with an even greater feeling of scale.
