USING THE SUPER CUB 

The Super Cub AG-300 is unlike any other guitar amplifier. Its unique six speaker system 
creates a 3 dimensional sound field atypical of guitar amplifiers: 4 speakers facing forward 
and two facing up to work as a monitor. The result is that you and fellow players will hear 
exactly the same sound as the audience. Because it has a very broad sound field with 
immense clarity, you will soon become very comfortable with this and feel more connected 
to the sound as if it was the guitar itself responding without any latency. 

You can use the AG-300 standing at floor level or you can use the optional tripod stand 
( AAD model AG-S1) for enhanced projection. Do not place any object on top of the 
cabinet as this will impair the sound quality. 

Channel One is ideally suited for electrics and has a warmer somewhat darker tone. This is 
due to the internal pre amp modeling based on the response of a vintage 12 inch guitar 
speaker. Overdrive pedals can sound rich and tube like even though the amp is all solid 
state. The EQ is also tuned to fit magnetic pickups. 

Channel Two is tailored for acoustics but if you are looking for ultra clean electric sound, 
you can use this channel on solid body guitars too. You can also use a balance low 
impedance microphone on this too. The EQ circuit is designed to give a full transparent 
sound and has a wider range than that on Channel one. 

The internal FX have been selected to give a variety of Echo, Reverb and Chorus sounds 
and we suggest you try out each effect with varying the blend control to get the most 
suitable effect on your instrument. 

There is an option to use external FX pedals with the FX send return jacks. 

Although this amp was designed for mainly guitar, it can also be used as a keyboard amp 
and will provide the highest fidelity on piano or organ sounds. It can also be used with a 
variety of stringed instruments such as violin, cello, mandolin or others with excellent 
fidelity.

 

 

TRANSPORTING AND STORING THE SUPER CUB 

 
When transporting in a vehicle, it is recommended that you use an external case or heavy-duty 
cover to prevent it being damaged by falling over or other objects falling on it.  
 
When Storing: 

 

Keep the SUPER CUB in a dry location preferably at room temperature. 

 

Do not store the SUPER CUB in temperatures below -20 Degrees C or above 40 

Degrees C. 

 

Do not allow it to get wet. If this occurs, never turn it on in this condition. 

 

Do not leave the SUPER CUB connected to a power source for long periods of time.
