I just bought an Artist MKII and am really glad that I came across your channel. Your videos are without fluff, straight to the point and very helpful. Thank you!
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for concerning the Katana. Glad to see the 'Boss Tone Studio' offers various popular compressors and the ability to tweak each one. One of the styles I play is the 'Nashville' Tele sound and the compressor plays a huge part in that. Once again I can't thank you enough for these well done tutorials. Thank you, thank you!
You’ve got an absolutely brilliant channel here, Paul. I’ve been "boning up" on your vids while I await the arrival of my Katana Artist MkII. So helpful. Big thanks!
Thank you so much, Paul! I'm a beginner with all these things so I would appreciate it if you could say something about what the Orange compressor is good for, why your favorite is the Light setting and what you use it for, and in what situations some of the other types might be useful.
I see that you talk about the effects chain in a different video, but I think it would have made sense to include a bit of that here too... I'm absolutely disappointed that Boss doesn't allow me to put the compressor first in the chain.
This is great I didn't know I had one in the Katana.. Can you please tell me something about the compressor I have in my Vox Mini 3G???? I love this effect!!!! Is there anything similar to it???? The sustain is fantastic. Thanks
Great videos Paul. I only have a MK1 50 though. Assuming that's why my tone studio looks different? It also seems like you can a mod ( eg: compressor ) and a boost in the same patch where on my mine unless I haven't understood it I have to choose either or. Not sure if that's a MK1 v 2 or 50 v 100 thing or both so off to try and find out :)
thanks for sharing...im trying to figure out which compressor to use playing my telecaster...chicken pickin.....you have a suggestion that would be great Paul.. Brad Paisley type or Albert Lee.....PLEASE HELP! Once again I can't thank you enough for these well done tutorials, thank you!
Thanks so much for this video series! As a recent Katana owner, I find them super helpful. Are the tones that you are playing recorded with a mic (which one if you are) or direct via USB?
Any tips on how to get a 90s Metallica live tone sound? I tried a lot of different things but can’t seem to get that nice sound of the chug overdrive without excess noise
Don't understand what's happening when I'm using the compressor. When I Palm mute and dig into the strings it gets quieter, A lot quieter. Then when I play open chords it gets loud. This is with High Gain / metal tones
Thank you, this is exactly the effect I've been waiting for some help with. Would you say that the Sustain is similar to the Ratio setting on other compressors? Just looking for a way to connect the Tone Studio terminology to other compressors I've used. What compressor do you think works best for ska type sounds? Boss: pay this man!
Cheers Zaraya. The sustain is like Ratio and Threshold on one knob. I think you’ll be happy with either the light comp or the dyna comp for ska. Thanks for your support.
Paul - you've talked about putting the compressor in front of drive pedals as the ideal arrangement. What about a wah pedal? In terms of external pedals, would you put your compressor before a wah pedal, or in between the wah and the drive pedal? (or would you put the drive before the wah? seems unusual but not unheard of)
Hi Jamie. I personally like my compression first. If you put a comp after a wah it tends to compress certain points of the wah moving frequencies harder than others.
@@TheStudioRats thanks Paul. I was thinking along those lines, but I don't have a compressor pedal to experiment with yet. Next on the list to pick up. I like to use the compression in the Katana, but it definitely doesn't feel quite right in the middle of the chain like that under some circumstances.
Hello Paul, I love your content. I'm really new on the pedal world and i bought recently a Katana (i love it so far!). Can i make You a question? Can i use the compresor and the noise supressor on one of the chanels and use My pedals on the input? Sorry for my bad English and hope You can help me. Greetings from Argentina!
