Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built as a 40W 1x12 tube combo, the Cub V uses true point-to-point wiring, two EL34 power tubes, and switchable 12AX7 or EF86 preamp tubes. Its two-button footswitch can change the preamp selection or move between dual master-volume settings. Tube-driven spring reverb and a buffered effects loop add further routing options, while Gain, Depth, Bass, Treble, Cut, and Reverb controls provide direct adjustment from the front panel. The cabinet is made from Baltic birch.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Changing between preamp selections and master-volume settings during a live performance.
