I'm sure your sound profile will be much different between the DXR's and the Cube amps. The Cubes have a more limited frequency range, are engineered to emphasize midrange and are less powerful when compared to the DXR's. You may need to keep different programs with different EQ settings depending on the amp setup you're using.
Just a thought.
Hi Mike,
As I mention, I did not try the mono button on the gig. But as you say, I suppose it kinda defeats the object of lugging two amps to a gig!, unless you need separate amps placed extreme distances apart.
The Roland Cubes are not a patch on the Yamaha DXR's, though they are extremely convenient and light/small to carry. I mainly bought them for small venues, but with a view to still playing the Nord in stereo. It is worth noting that even playing against a 17 piece big band last week I still had plenty of volume in reserve. I run through the 'clean' channel and bypass any EQ. Rhodes and Hammond sound amazing, but pianos do need attention - hence this thread.
