The original Ice Cube was a little ice cube shaped device that plugged into the
reverb input and output on Fender amps. It merely connected the input and
output jacks, there may have been a resistor in there. This converted the
reverb circuit into a cheesy harsh sounding overdrive. You can get the same
effect with a wire w/ 2 RCA jacks. There was a later version that allowed you
to switch between reverb and overdrive, and may have had some controls.

A great amp can make a lousy guitar sound great.
A lousy amp will make a great guitar sound lousy.
