I was holding out on the Mk2 because I figured a new version would be out soon (glad I held off) and I want to upgrade not only for the newer preamp/sounds but also the FRFR function for my Quad Cortex. Should I get the Gen3 or should I start looking for a used Mk2 now that the Gen3 is out? Would love to hear Paul's take on this as well.

@swervature 26 дней назад

To all combo amp manufacturers -- Aesthetics be damned. Bring the controls back to the front of the amp. Not the top front -- the front. I'm legally blind (READ: I have to be about 3" close to something to see it) and I DESPISE having to hunch my old man body over the amp to see the controls. And I hate that I'm confined to placing my amps in locations to where I need to have access to the tops of them to see said controls. I would love to go back to being able to place an amp under a table, desk, or in a rack. TSR -- Great short look at the new Mk III's =)

@philbrannigan5854 19 дней назад

I think the controls are on the top of the non-Artist Katanas so that all the sockets, circuits and controls can be mounted on a single plate that can be dropped in in one operation, helping to keep the manufacturing cost, and therefore the price, as low as possible. Unfortunately you have to go to the Artist models, where manufacturing costs don't have to be so tight, to get separate plates for the controls and sockets, and therefore front mounted controls.

@Chris_Nouvelli 27 дней назад

As a huge Katana fan I think they’ve been napping a little with the development of gen 3. It sounds great, which is ultimately all that matters, but I feel they should’ve been braver with updating the Tone Studio software and recognise the seismic development in modellers since the Mk2 came out and have that evident in these amps. I know it’s going to be a great amp though so I’m keen to see updates to the Artist/Artist Head.

@TheCyberMantis 26 дней назад

They want to keep it affordable. Do you want it to be as complicated as a AxeFX-III, and cost $2,000? Most players don't need that. I think Boss hit the sweet-spot with this new Gen3.

@IsaacLausell 26 дней назад

You are getting even better sounds than before from this amp. Question, could that stereo headphone jack work as a stereo out to go front of house or it would not have enough volume to reach line level? My other question, doesn’t the speaker stop working g when you go through the headphone jack?

@sorenahlback 27 дней назад

Yes!! I'm very excited and will change my 50MKII to a 100 or a 50 EX. Two questions I have is that the 100 have 8 channels and the EX 4+4, whatever that means in handling. Other thing is that the 100 sound rounder and fuller than the normal 50 but BOSS say that the EX have a developed speaker. I play and record a lot at home and really don't need 100 watt since I only play in 0.5 mode anyways.

@littlespaceman 27 дней назад

The 100w Mk 2 and Gen 3 also have 4+4 presets; if you use a 50 EX (Mk 2 and I suspect the same with the Gen 3) you get 2 + 2 on the control panel but if you use the GAFC or even an Airstep pedal, you get access to 8 presets on the 50 EX (4 + 4)

As I'm still relatively new to the Katana 100 mk2 (btw thanks for the patches, Paul) and haven't gigged it thoroughly yet, it's unlikely I'll be upgrading to the Katana Gen3 any time soon. The cynic in me wonders whether all these new Gen 3 features have actually been "kept in reserve" by Boss developers for some time, to "drip feed" them onto the market in new iterations of the Katana line, when mk 1 & 2 sales have peaked. This will always be the case with amp tech. I'm hoping the new Gen3 BTS features can be used by us MK2 owners but I have my doubts. On the plus side, there'll be a healthy market for s/hand Katanas

@user-jy3io4iz2p 22 дня назад

For the money (€339 over here) it is a nice amp (with 3 step power att.). A DSL-5 does €369 but has no fx (ok verb...) also 10". Do not like the looks of the Katana (Fender GTX looks a lot better and so does the DSL...) but sounds great for the money. Only have YT as reference but Katana is the benchmark with maybe the Fender 50XL (for the Fender tones).

@CentaurusRelax314 27 дней назад

Here and in the Andertons video-this thing sounds as good or better than a lot of big dollar tube amps in videos from the same players. Which baffles me. I had the Mk 1 100w head, and later the Mk II Artist combo - i really wasn't satisfied with either. I keep thinking maybe i overshot myself by buying the bigger/more expensive versions and should have just bought the 'basic' Katana. And then another part of me just says there's a disconnect between demos and what i would get in my own experience. I just can't explain why. Oh, well-i kinda want a quick/simple amp for practice/noodling, but i guess i'll just keep using ToneX and Tonocracy with monitors. But, damn, Paul, you make this thing sound gooood.

@andrewslads 18 дней назад

Any amp on its own can sound great . Tube amps react a particular way which means ‘live’ they tend to sound rich and punch through the mix to where solid state hit a wall and dynamic response is compressed enough that you don’t cut through . In their own they sound great though

@CentaurusRelax314 18 дней назад

@@andrewslads Thanks for the explanation, but this wasn't what i was discussing. After the Katana Mk II Artist, i bought a Fender Deluxe Reverb, and i used to have tube amps back in my younger days. My comment was about same scenarios, these demo videos, which match my own home-only use, for practice and ostensibly recording, with no live application. And any "mix" issues would be dealt with in engineering/at the mix stage. Compression isn't really a part of what i was referring to. Just simple/basic tone, frequencies that either annoy or please me, and the nuances of harmonics and how strings 'sing' or don't.

@andrewslads 18 дней назад

@@CentaurusRelax314 sorry ! I just realised that I read only the first part of your reply. You could try the blackstar amped 3 , I have one and plug it into Bluetooth speaker as well as cab when gigging . Sounds good . A lot of demos show its metal capabilities but it’s got a great crunch and I use it as my main amp . Also has fx loop and is fairly portable . The models are better than these. Tube amps are more inconsistent and it’s important to match wattage with intended use . Marshall’s for example ( jubilee ) sound absolutely awful unless cranked , but others more consistent like the blackstar HT series. Most tube amps will suck for home application . There’s always a compromise . HT5 isn’t bad . Fender deluxe reverb is gonna be pointless at 40 watts. Also master volume tube amps will always sound ok at room practise volumes .

@CentaurusRelax314 18 дней назад

@@andrewslads Thanks for the re-reply and suggestion. But, i think i'm content now. After the Katanas, i bought the Deluxe Reverb, to purge my 'insecurity' and doubts about using solid state instead of tubes. But, even though the Deluxe was quite nice clean, and pretty good with pedals for low-medium gain, i was never able to get satisfying high gain tones. The Van Halen brown sound and 80s metal tones were quite important to me, and high gain pedals just didn't work with the Deluxe, either because of the Deluxe's inherent tone or the speaker itself. So, i sold that and switched to running ToneX/Amplitube and Tonocracy on a Macbook. With a pair of modest JBL 5" monitors, it sounds fantastic, i have 'all the amps' and don't have to try to recreate a Marshall stack with a pedal into a Fender combo. Every once in a while, i'll tune into a demo of an inexpensive modeling amp-this, the Blackstars, the Catalyst-because i'm still (mildly) interested in the idea of having a simpler/quicker/more immediate practice and noodling device, but that's really just GAS and the smallest interest in finding even a few seconds of efficiency between the moments of deciding to play and getting a tone. With the laptop, though, i have really only been playing one amp model the last few weeks, and absolutely loving it, just going from 9:00 on the gain dial to noon. Oh, regarding the "most tube amps will suck for home application"-with the Deluxe Reverb, i have a Bugera passive attenuator that really did the trick, simply and inexpensively. I was able to run the amp at 6 or 7 with very comfortable 'tv volumes.' In another (very brief) situation, i once played an EVH 5150 100w amp at the NAMM show, at ridiculously low volume, and it sounded fantastic. But, i'm a person who has lived in big city apartments all my adult life-the last 35 years-and i'm used to low-volumes, so i don't need pants-flapping to make happy sounds. Some amps, for certain, are better at doing what they do at low volumes than others that really need to be cranked to get the tubes working.

Does the Airstep work with G3?

@TheStudioRats 27 дней назад

I can’t see why not, but you’ll have to check with xsonic

@markdouglas8073 27 дней назад

You will need a USB-C to C cable since they changed the USB port on the rear from B to C. The problem with the AIRSTEP is you cannot use it and the USB line to your computer at the same time for recording. I did get a USB A/B switcher hub (meant for printers) so I can keep both plugged in and switch with a button push. I have nit tried a Y splitter cable. Actually, I just got the Morningstar MC6 Pro MIDI controller to replace the AIRSTEP using the MIDI IN on my Artist.

Wow, gotta say I'm really disappointed with how little is being offered with the new Katanas over the older Mk II. Maybe in 10 years when the Mk V comes out i'll consider making the upgrade

@martinlahaie6012 27 дней назад

All about not enough....wont change my Artist MK2 for this one...pretty disapointed about this new Gen3...does not offer a lot more... By the way Boss could be cool if you change the look...Marshall is planning to make a run at Boss in the future with a new line of non tube amps...to be followed

@markdouglas8073 27 дней назад

I dislike black gear, so I modded my two Katana Artists with vinyl spray paint (for auto interiors). One is beige and the other is white. I changed the grille cloth to beige. It was fun and they look great.

First! Back with my opinions in a bit. (I bet you can't wait...)

@KeithMilner 27 дней назад

OK, great review (preview?), although It would have been nice to get a bit of a better view of the unit itself. The review mentions the Katana 50, but the model you have appears to be the Katana 100? About the Katana Mk3: Bluetooth, inevitable, but great to see. You didn't say, but it looks to be optional using the BT-DUAL module? I'm fine with that. I'm glad to see more amp tones, and also pleased they continue to use their own model names rather than push (pun intended) them as a clone of specific real amps. The Pushed amp sounds great, and right up my street. I like the new BTS and glad they've not gone with awful full-on skeuomorphic icons taking up half the screen with fiddly controls, but the new icons are appreciated. Also, the new routing flexibility and the new line out, etc. stuff looks, and sounds, great. A lot of it sounds similar to the old model to my ears, over RU-vid, but I sepect a lot of the improvements are to "feel", so I look forward to trying one out. Good Stuff.

@bradbaker4679 27 дней назад

So is this better than Line 6 Catalyst 60????

@TheStudioRats 27 дней назад

I’ve never tried one I’m afraid

@littlespaceman 24 дня назад

By a million miles. The Cat is clearly an attempt to cash in on the popularity of the Kat but is a really lame attempt by Line 6 to compete. My biggest gripe, and the reason I sold my Cat is that the FX loop is fixed in place before the time based fx, so you simply can’t use a looper in the fx loop while also using delay, as any loop you’ve recorded then turns to mush as soon as you turn the delay on

@aschneider70 27 дней назад

Nice! But this heavy duty box design could be changed. It is still ugly. 😅

@RomainG6409 26 дней назад

Great video , great playing (as always) but that Amp is a disappointment, not much differences (quite frankly sounds are similar) from the previous version, a useless stereo option and ... in 2024 ... you need to pay for the bluetooth ??? Boss come on ! Would you pay on a brand new car for the ABS, AC or electric windows ? nope, not for me ... I pass.
