Boss Katana

[Beandust]

This Amp is 350. Comparing to a 100 watt tube amp shouldn't really be the trend of this Amp. Marketing or mentioning it in conversation with a boutique or vintage tube amp isn't the point of this Amp. Glowing glass is in a class by itself and always should be. This is about technology and the reality of how good it's become. This Amp is fun simple and sounds good. Nothing boutique about it nor is there meant to be. If someone thinks it sounds as good as a hardwired turret board el34 beast to their ears it just may. The reality is it ain't one. Doesn't sound like one,isn't supposed to. If it were it'd be heavier and a good bit louder.headromm...etc. it's a modeller, that's a mention worth comparing. Convenient and boutique have entirely different meanings

So I was playing in two bands last year and kind of went nuts buying guitars and amps as I needed different things for each band. I admittedly went way overboard though. Time to pay the piper and liquidate a few things. This amp has me contemplating selling my Splawn QR that has been relegated to back up duties and just having a Katana head as the backup and something to doink around with at home.
Just struggling with the idea of not have a QR around to take for a spin now and again.

By itself it really is a nice sounding little rig, takes boost pedals well with a lot of great features. It is a perfect backup rig IMO.

Man fuck you guys. But in a good way hahah
Just left a message for my sweet water rep. Ordered a Roland jazz chorus 22 and was gonna use my diezel vh4 pedal for a late night solid state rig. Now this is gonna come in for some a/b testing

LOL!

I held off for a while. Was like that guitar player at the bar in the back of the room with my arms crossed, shaking my head. You know the guy. Anyway, there are just too many good vids of the Katan now to deny it is a solid SOUNDING piece of gear. Could be a total POS build wise but it's not like I am touring with it.

I am pretty geeked to get it actually.

OK, that shit is funny right there lol.....yeah, I'm buying one of those MFers too

 

[Purpleibby]

Can any of you guys confirm if the line out is speaker emulated or not? I know what I've read around the web but want to be sure. Why would they need speaker emulation on the REC out AND the line out?

Back in stock as of two minutes ago at sweetwater, thinking about stopping over there and grabbing one.

 

[Rock Bodom]

I'm just gonna add on to the train we've got going here...got mine an hour ago. Just took a break cause I gotta get back to work, but haven't been able to stop playing it. Obviously haven't had time to really get to know it yet, but similar first impression theme here. Wicked easy to get a great tone going, I really was just going to do a quick sound check and get back to it tonight, but very addictive, the minutes just flew by before I knew it.

I was doing the Brown channel, playing Dokken, Ozzy, VH, etc. We'll see how the overall honeymoon goes, but yeah, I think this little thing is getting attention for a reason!

I'm pretty excited too, there's enough GOOD evidence out now to make it worth the try.
Ordered and now I wait.......hopefully sat
