Hey guys, I just picked up two Katana 50ex gen 3 amps specifically to run in stereo expand mode. The marketing material says this is supported, but the manual doesn't say anything about it. Have you guys tried this? How do you do it?
I will no longer be a snob I've owned both over the years the hands give most off the sound make sure you buy the Epiphone at sale time and make sure you get their tech to set it up free for you then go buy the Epiphone enough said
I want an LTD SN1-HT. I see you have one in Brisbane. Need to sell my Abasi Larada 7 to buy it first though. The EC-01FT is really cool too. I especially like the white version. A noiseless P90 would have been a better pups choice though. I have the SD's in an old AMpeg AMG-1 and the tone they produce is righteously filthy. So many guitars, so little time.
From the pictures it looks like the 50 and the 50 EX has the same speakers. Only difference I see is the color EX is gray and the regular 50 is black, wattage looks the same 70 watt. Did you really hear a big sound difference? Maybe its construction is different. Thanks for the demo.
absolutely could hear the difference, we found the EX had a more focused and present sound, which definitely aligns with what Boss later published on their website: "Katana-50 EX Gen 3 features an upgraded speaker for increased projection and resonance on stage."
@@MannysMusic_Online Thanks for the reply that's awseome. But i think it's strange that it's the same wattage and label on the back of the speaker . The only difference i see is the color.
I'm interested in the new 51 Tele Pure Vintage pickups to replace the V-Mods in my 2016 Fender AM Pro Tele - any idea how they compare to the current CS Nocaster set?
You just sold me on this EC guitar. I originally wanted to order EC-1000s, but at the last moment I came across your video and.... man, just WOW! This charcoal burst finish is just gorgeous! Pickups wise, I thought that moderns is my way to go, but these open core classics not only looks better, but with this particular guitar (full thickness and direct mounted pickups) sounds huge and organic 🔥! Same love the attack and lower resonance. Great presentation! 🤘🏼
Funny how subjective sound can be. Something is just off to me. The Yamaha kits sound more natural to my ears. I’d love to hear a blind test and see if it’s just placebo or not, now that testing in real life is all but impossible as all the stores shut down.
I don't find much of a difference between epi pickups vs gibson, maybe just a little more character to the gibsons, unfortunately epiphone pickups can be inconsistent,but are usually wax potted, some of the fakes can sound microphonic,and some have to be rewaxxed.
unfortunately stereo linking an S1 pro and an S1 Pro+ is not possible, the best you can do is a dual mono solution, running a cable from one to the other for a duplicated output
Having watched your review of the AV II 57 strat I thought the 57 strat sounded better with richer and glassy like tones the 61 sounded more of a rock guitar!
Can you assign splash symbols and effect symbols sounds to the rims instead of rim clicks or cross stick sounds please if someone can answer this question for me I would appreciate it. Thank you.
I am looking to get into the baritone guitar playing world, but I am torn between which of these two guitars to purchase. I have only been playing for a couple of years but feel a yearning to head into baritone playing. Price usually determines quality, but if you had to suggest one over the other for a person just getting into baritone playing, which of these two guitars would you choose?
Hey Eric, the answer to questions like this is always to go and try them both in the shop and see which you like better! The PRS has a longer, wider and flatter neck, so the playing experience is quite different to the Squier. failing that, we'd definitely recommend the PRS over the Squier if you're looking to explore heavier genres, and vice-verca if you're more interested in classic clean Fender-style tones.
I sold my Katana 50MKII today after recording around 50 Spotify songs with it and have bought Katana 100 Gen 3. Similar but really an upgrade with 8 channels, better speaker and several other features. Only drawback so far is that Kat Airstep doesn't work yet.
