back in middle school me and a buddy would watch this video every weekend. this dude was a meme before memes were even a thing. how could someone NOT like Johnny demarco
He's just as nice in person! I had the pleasure of meeting him at a local music store. Really nice guy, told me how he got to be a Roland rep and even gave me a one on one demo of the Roland Cube and a Roland midi-equipped Strat. I couldn't say no to the amp at that point. Haters can keep hating, Johnny DeMarco is awesome.
@@bloodflower2141yep, I bought mine when they first came out and still play it today Unfortunately I think it’s on its last leg. Every now and then it will cut out or drop in volume. I did locate a cube 80XL on local Craigslist in near new condition for $200.00 There’s one on reverb for $500.000 😮
I met Johnny yesterday at a small mom and pop guitar store in Texas giving a demo of Boss and Roland amps.I found him to be a fantastic player and a very down to earth intelligent person ,he answered all questions no matter how lame (mostley from me) and was about as nice a guy as you'll ever meet. Good luck in Huntington beech. GM
thank you Roland for making the best damn amp ever with the OG Cube 60. This amp continues to blow me away in 2023. Also JDM is an absolutely wholesome dude!
I don't doubt it, he seems pretty versatile in those demos he does, but I just find his demeanor funny. But you can tell the guy has passion, no doubt. I like him, for what it's worth. I don't know if he's like that as an act or not. But yeah, He seems pretty cool.
The very first time I saw this video, I was living in georgia,and married to a woman I hated, we were broke as all hell and I had sold literally all of my guitar gear and i was researching a cheap SS combo, and this guy really cracked me up. . . .12 years later, my life is totally different. . .I never did get a cube because I came to the conclusion it was just too expensive at the time, but thanks to this guy for making me laugh in what was really a dark time
I bought the Cube 60 amp back in late 2005 after watching this video several times. 17 years on, I still own the amp and works well, and coming back to this video is like revisiting an old friend.
Great player, everything from gentle and beautiful to raw and powerful. I'd be smiling like that if I could play as well as this guy. Thanks for a great review Johnny!
Johnny DeMarco is a legend and a really genuine guy. His short gear demos have more life and positivity in them than any other gear demos I've seen on UA-cam. For people leaving silly comments about Johnny smiling in the videos, it's called Enthusiasm and being happy - try it sometime Emos, it's fun.
Johnny you are the king! Now I'm even more happy I bought this amp years ago. Used it on quite a few jazz gigs but am now using it in a rock band. really versatile amp.
I love your energy, the best live rev I've enjoyed on you tube, you are awesome, and I play blues, R&B, funk, and gospel bass guitar..............love it Johnny.
Hey you can't blame him for really getting into his playing and enjoying it. He was very helpful too. Great review, I'm interested to look more into this amp now.
I have used mine for every gig I have played over the last 5 years. I love this amp. Light, lots of clean headroom, and very expressive. It isn't meant to take the place of a Mesa or Marshall. But for blues, jazz, or country gigs it works great . I have used it in coffee houses and concerts. He says that the delay and reverb are great, but that is the one thing I find not to be the case. The delay is there but there is no way to bring up it's presence. Same w/ Reverb.
ok, the longer i watched this video the further my jaw dropped, by the end it had gone thru the floor. I've been on the cube 60 in a shop, i was so amazed i nearly hyperventalated. DeMarco looks like an awesome guiarist. I'd love 2 learn that little bit at the end he was playing!
The "Dyna Amp" setting on this amplifier is one of the main reasons why I bought this amp. It gives me the opportunity to pick strings lightly without having to dial down the volume knob on my guitars to get a clean tone, while also providing distortion when needed without me having to stomp a distortion pedal (a distraction when playing live gigs).
I've owned one of these for about 5 years, and I'd recommend it highly. I've used it in different playing contexts, including rock, swing, as an acoustic amplifier, and even to amplify banjo and mandolin. The EQ, effects and amp models make it easy to tweak your sound. Plenty loud! And it's inexpensive, indestructible and can be carried in one hand. Cheers.

how could someone NOT like Johnny demarco
Memes were already a thing by the mid-2005's, they just had not reached the mainstream yet. :)
So true lol
i used to watch this video from the guitar world cd (i think) in the mid-late 2000's, it's a winner
I love this guy. Bless his heart.
Its been 10 years, ive come back just to watch his amazing playing and facial expressions
Its October 2019. I still do the same
Me too lol

IronShligger I'd bet it was really uncomfortable to stand and have to watch that..probably alone as well.
13 years later and this video still makes me want to buy a Roland Cube 60 even with all the modern technology that exists today...
still a better amp then most of them too
@@bloodflower2141yep, I bought mine when they first came out and still play it today

Man he was honestly the reason I was obsessed with roland and boss way back! I watched it so much i had the GT10 video memorised hahaha
his voice is so soft and harmless, but when he's playing he's like a wild animal :P

Why did I just find this? This guy is a riot. I really get a kick out of this. Rock on Johnny!
I keep coming back to this video periodically. I've seen it probably 500 times now....always a classic!!
Ya know...this exact video convinced me to buy this amp years back.
Interesting stuff right here
Was it worth it???
Couldn't agree more. He shreds, and go figure, he's a shredder that's actually likable! This is the kind of guitarist I would ENJOY studying under.
As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters. Wish I was half as good as you. Merry Christmas Bro.
stop hating. this guy is a beast. I knew him from the early 90's in Cleveland. his brother freddy is a best as well.
I don't doubt it, he seems pretty versatile in those demos he does, but I just find his demeanor funny. But you can tell the guy has passion, no doubt. I like him, for what it's worth. I don't know if he's like that as an act or not. But yeah, He seems pretty cool.
Z_Man1209 I fully agree. His playing is impressive and his "characer" quite funny. XD
This man could sell anything, with his greater than great "SUPER" attitude.
He is showbiz

Stay strong. JD helps us all
The sounds says....bad 80's guitarist.
The look says....Mormon and/or IT guy from the early 90's.
The dialog says....Sesame Street musical guest.
lmao wtf
ROFL hahahaah XD XD
lol
Best comment ever, did not disappoint
You don't think he is good? He's goofy, but also jams

this dude comes across the me as a "Bob Ross" of music gear lol
To me**
Great player, everything from gentle and beautiful to raw and powerful. I'd be smiling like that if I could play as well as this guy. Thanks for a great review Johnny!
johnny demarco is a legend nuff said
The DeMarco family never fails to entertain.
Johnny needs a stage.
this guys so good and has so much soul, DeMarco FTW
I beg Johnny D knows where to score a decent bag of pot
Dean Smith hell yeah he does.
He is the plug man
the guy flips you off while tremolo picking, respect
I can't not watch this video. Why do I keep watching this?

Johnny you are the king! Now I'm even more happy I bought this amp years ago. Used it on quite a few jazz gigs but am now using it in a rock band. really versatile amp.
I actually really like this guy.
I'm diabetic...cant watch this..too sweet
How did You like the Gentleness of that KICK over into the Tremolo on the foot-switch? :D
You can't deny that Johnny sends really positive vibe somewhat funny to the viewers.
Nothing better than having an amp with versatile outputs
hes an awesome guy tho, i would love to jam with him, he seems like a good laugh too
Guys like this, grunts of the industry, always amaze me at how many different styles they can play well.
I love how they act like the "Dyna amp" is a new thing. When tube amps have been doing that for eternity.
The demos of Johnny are one more time very gooood !!!
Thanks.
This is the funniest video on youtube
I love Johnny DeMarco's reviews . not like the boring Alex Hutchings reviews
The day this video is removed is the day the internet dies.
I love your energy, the best live rev I've enjoyed on you tube, you are awesome, and I play blues, R&B, funk, and gospel bass guitar..............love it Johnny.
4:04 HELP! I'M CHOKING!!!
Keep rocking Johnny D.!!
5:25 ahahaha
Hey you can't blame him for really getting into his playing and enjoying it. He was very helpful too.
Great review, I'm interested to look more into this amp now.
5:06 lmao!
He's great though lol.
Great demo and a great amp. That dude kicks ass.
I swear he's blowing a load with every single note he picks
This guy is cool, he looks like he enjoys playing guitar
I had no idea you could still buy a gerry curl.
Come for the amp demo but stayed to listen to his killer chops!
5:26
Johnny Demarco for President! He is a fantastic player and you cant beat his energy
Hey kids, Johnny DeMarco here!
I have used mine for every gig I have played over the last 5 years. I love this amp. Light, lots of clean headroom, and very expressive.

This guy is a living meme
ok, the longer i watched this video the further my jaw dropped, by the end it had gone thru the floor. I've been on the cube 60 in a shop, i was so amazed i nearly hyperventalated. DeMarco looks like an awesome guiarist. I'd love 2 learn that little bit at the end he was playing!
I want him to read me stories whilst playing ripper guitar solos.
This video was apart of my childhood lol.
He has a brother too
Says "Classic Stack" setting is on "Metal"
LOL. Didn't notice that after 4 years
I love the way he smile :D
Well, this was nearly 10 years ago...
JugaJuga14 still relevant :D
johnny deMarco is amazing, he should make his own solo album
He pulls some funny faces but this guy seems nice and fucking wails!
More power to him.
Love the amp bro guitar sounds great keep shredding
Johnny seems to be a really nice guy!! He seems to really enjoy what he does and is a hell of a guitarist!!
3:26 - is it just me or did that add no "spring reverb" at all?
Jasper Yangchareon He Says A Little Bit
Lol. Turns on delay...🤘

"Lets add a little bit of reverb" *adds delay* -.-
funny he used to be my guitar teacher when he lived here in cleveland ohio. now working for roland! awsome!
ROFL!! :)
intheblues ayy it's in the blues this guy's is like an inspirational speaker
The Best Cube 60 demo I've seen...
So much rape. I'm showing this to my girlfriend so she can see what I'll be like in 10 years.
You're almost halfway there. Keep us updated
well?
Johnny Demarco rules!
This amp's metal setting is hilariously bad.
Get to turn to me it's almost all the way off get your game right and use your setting for your delay get it right and you'll be good
One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.
Thanks Roland!
Fuck I could dial in a better metal tone on my pawned 10 watt practice amp. The rest of the cubes nice though
GG Allin we miss you GG
this guy is great and gave an awesome demo of this song
I fucking love Johnny DeMarco

johhny d is the king...he looks like he come from sesame street but always a good demo.....liked the steve vai bit on the 355 towards the end

Good Job
Johnny DeMarco "The Greatest American Hero!" AKA William Katt as Ralph Hinkley/Hanley Believe it or not! He Is My American Hero! Johnny DeMarco Rules! God Bless the U.S.A!
Johnny DeMarco. The funny guy, but kicks your ass at guitar.
i like the way he shakes his head after every little lick he plays
Every time he finishes a lick, he looks up and does that weird smile. AAAHH!
Great! Both the player and the amp.
When I think of what could possibly represent, embody and personify the 80's........I think of Johnny DeMarco.
lol,
Dm
i got the cube 30 and i fucken love it, i had it for almost 3 yrs and it never let me down, the cube 60 is cool but im glad with the cube 30
How many eyes were lost using that first guitar
very true! i am a Jackson player, and use the cube 60 amp, with the Jackson Randy Rhoads king V i use, its sound is just amazing... its a great setup
i own a microcube and all the sounds on that are exactly like this one. no matter which wattage you want i'd recommend them
We need Johnny now more than ever
