I used the regular katana head live a few times in my band (metal) it sounds and feels great, but the issue I ran into is it just doesn’t have enough “umph” for live shows in my opinion. I think you’d be happy with either version for practice, especially if you use the free katana studio with...
I have a USA Randall XL 4x12 cab and a Mesa OS 4x12, both loaded with v30s. The Mesa is a little more focused but I love them both and the Randall is surprisingly excellent quality. But I did also buy the XL cab for $350 dollars WITH the v30s
4x12 all the way, 2x12 just doesn’t have the same feel, and I’ve tried many.
I’ve always wanted to try one of those port city oversized ported 2x12s though
It’s been a minute now and I totally forgot to check back here, I ended up replacing all the tubes and the issue went away. Sold that amp to a member on this board and have missed it ever since.
I was only having the issue on channel 2 myself
I snagged this short clip with my Iphone, amp master was on 3 here and that was brutally loud and glorious in my practice space.
The Lynchmod is on max with the switch in the off position and it gives it all the gain I personally want. It definitely has a little bit of sag to it still and it...
So this head had an effects loop added to it at one point, and the added hardware is just in the way enough so that I can't install the Lynchmod.
The loop was disconnected by a tech but the hardware is still just sitting there.
When it comes to amps I'm just a player, so I don't know too much...
Yeah I came close a few years back with a 50w JCM800 I got from a member here a while back (after using two different up front boosts and black winter PUPs) But these days if I can help it I'd rather not boost the front end if I don't have to. Black Winters I'll probably use forever though
I don't think I've ever heard Vince actually sound "good" Not a knock on the band or even him, but his talent lied more in being an entertainer than a great singer. His vocals always needed help. But that being said he does sound much worse these last years
Same! I'll capture the sound best I can using the Zoom Q2N and upload this weekend hopefully. As long as I can get CLOSE to some Fabulous Disaster era exodus I'll be quite happy.
Have a killer '85 Jcm 800 2203, really have a soft spot for the JCM 800's and just want them to get brutal without having to use multiple boosts or invasive mods haha
