Can somebody help me finding "Roland Blues Cube Hot" schematic?
(PS: Sorry for the confusion and my extensive editing my postings. I did not know the "Hot" is a DSP modeling amp, I'm looking for the old all-analog - non-DSP version)

I'm thinking it unlikely you'll find this schematic, I've not seen it, that's for sure. Are you repairing one, or looking to make a clone?
I want to analyze the schematics to understand the Roland "Tube Logic" technology.
I randomly found an used equipment offer of that amp (i never heard of it before) but the reviews I found were not too bad...

"Tube Logic – a marriage of solid-state analog technology and DSP"
Not too sure how the schematic will reveal the true nature.

Sounds like they're running an analog opamp into a DSP circuit lol.
Obviously there are DSP (about 2014) and non-DSP versions (about 1996)
I'm interested in the non-DSP.

"This Vox-inspired special edition of Roland's analogue modelling amp is equally impressive at home, on stage or in the studio." [edit: this is a DSP version] ( https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/roland-blues-cube-hot-british-el84-modified ).
That's what I've found:

There's a schematic of the Blues Cube 30 (no DSP, no reverb, no USB, no power control switch):
