Okay, so I just bought a second Katana 100 MkII head. The first one goes to a Katana 212 cabinet. The second one goes to the 12 " Celestion in my JCM800 until I get another 212 Katana cabinet. I have then both in stereo expand, line our of the master goes to power amp in of the slave using a standard mono audio cable. I have both amps programmed identical; preamp/eq and send/return before the effects. So, all effects are in the loop on both. My pedal board is plugged into the effects loop return of the master and then goes through all the onboard effects and to the line out and power amp. I get audio through both amps, but it's not stereo. I get no stereo effect with any chorus or phaser or any delay or reverb. I get the same exact audio out of both amps at the same time, no slap back or ping pong effect at all. What am I missing here? Both are Mk2 heads programmed identical. What am I missing? Why am I not in stereo?
just saw this. very kind. i'm trying to figure out a way to upload/share patches. as soon as i can find that, i'm happy to share. just shoot me your email and i'll try to send a backup file.
Love it man ! I’m also running my 2 Katana’s in Stereo ! Doing my first Gig in stereo in 3 days any advice to get the best out of it ? Thanks ! Vic Vancouver Canada
so sorry, i just saw this. hope your gig went well. i have multiple direct recording options and specifically bought my Katanas for live gigging. let me know if you have any issues you struggled with, and i'll see if i can help in any way. cheers.
With the stereo expand, does it have to be another Boss Katana to connect the line out to? I'm guessing any amp with the correct input will work, but Boss just wants you to buy a second Katana? Does anyone have any info on this please? This is a major reason I'm considering the Katana Artist MKII to use in stereo with my Marshall DSL40CR combo as the 2nd stereo amp and I really don't want to have to buy 2 Katanas if not needed.
You can run the stereo expand output into a power amp and a cabinet if you want. Buying a second cab and power amp is about the price of a (second hand) Katana 50, so it doesn't really matter that much I'd say. Of course, the second Katana will reproduce the patch the same way as the original Katana that you made the patch for. A different cabinet, with different dimensions and speaker, will sound different. This may or may not be your preference.
@@6969jezabel that's it! just plug into the back of the GAFC with a little standard RA-RA pedalboard patch cable and it instantly works, just like tapping the button on the panel. makes all the difference to me. thanks and good luck!
