Boss Katana GEN3 UNBOXING & First Impressions 

In a world full of worthless influencers, who just seem to take what they can. Dave, you have paid your dues over the years, you sir, definitely deserve all the goodness that is given and/or sent to you. As I’ve said before, your openness on mental health struggles is what makes me and many others admire you. And then there’s your guitar and music channel, you give so so much of your time and yourself. Dave, you are a true inspiration to many and show nothing but humility. You are a blessing

Glad to see that Boss has recognized you as a worthy YT guitarist to demo their products. Your playing alone puts you in a special category. Good luck 👍

I love the smell of new Boss amp in the morning

Absolute blistering playing, and BOSS now has the perfect RU-vid demo🤘🏻

Best review of the Gen 3 I've seen, you've made my mind up. Glorious playing btw.

Love that you demoed it with the camera mic - it sounded so authentic compared to so many of the close-mic’d reviews that always come across as somewhat sterile. Great playing and passion too! Thank you for uploading that 👍🏼

Sublime playing, chief - Boss knew what they were doing when they sent you that amp!

I already know this is a decent amp but I just really always come here to watch you play. Love hearing you play

This is the one review that mattered in my book! Glad they gave you one, Dave. I bought the Mark 1 50 watt and still use it because of you.

Beautiful playing on the clean setting. You got soul ❤

Boss was wise to have chosen you to check this amp out Dave😉👍👍 Love my mk1 100 1X12...😎👍👍 Looking forward to the comparison 🤞🤞🤞👍👍

The most absurdly talented down to earth guitarist on YT.

Been waiting on this video to drop…thanks Dave!

God bless you man. Not only is it great playing, not only have you now convinced me to get this Katana but you just have such a positive vibe. Thank you for making videos for the average guitarist that can't afford all the fancy stuff, you promote just loving the music instead of the gear.

Man I'm sold now for sure,you were brilliant af on this demo mate bad ass licks made me wanna go play guitar,dude your a epic guitarist brother stay shredding more people need to know about you man your up there with all the greats brother,rock on ! Jim from south central Texas

Awesome vid Dave !

Definitely the best RU-vid review of this amp so far!!! 👍🏾

That thing is SICK man! Thank you for a demo that will beat out every other one that is to come. Literally ran this thing through all it can do!! I want one :))))) Thanks Dave and cheers man. Wishing you the best in all aspects, as always!

My first new Dave video in quite a while. Sounds great, dude.

Sounds great . Great playing of course ❤

The best review of the Boss out there. Sounds amazing in the room. Thanks for sharing your amazing skill. I could listen all day Dave.

Awesome job Dave. Based on your review I went and preordered a Katana-50 EX Gen 3 from @Sweetwater $349.99 USA shipped to my door. Thanks again

This is the very first video I ever watch from you and I gotta say, I'm sold man (on both the amp and your guitar channel) what a NICE demo and FANTASTIC playing brother, cheers from Mexico!

That’s the best in the room recorded demo I have heard of anything!

Nice to know the amp is big good and smells nice Dave. Killer demo of tones as well. Bravo!

Superb playing Dave! Love seeing you all giddy over the new Katana! It's a great sounding amp.

Great demo! Thanks!!

Dave by far the best review of this amp so far, your smile and playing said it all.

If my V1 Katana 50 had the Pushed channel, I’d probably have kept it. Great job for a first, off-the-cuff unboxing and first impressions. You’ve probably sold a bunch of Gen 3’s for Boss!

You have made me decide...you are great Dave, the best review I have ever seen. 😮👏

I had version 2 for about 2 days, it went back. I’m still yet to be convinced on these. I watch to support you and your channel, regardless of content.

Absolutely brilliant review Dave 👍

I bought my Artist MK2 because of your channel :) can't wait for the Gen 3 Artist review

Excellent sound, from the Boss Amp, plus superb playing from yourself. Wow 😮

Awesome demo Dave.

Awesome demo! A master at your craft Dave. Just a bloke unboxing and having some fun. Let’s you see and hear exactly what you’d be getting 👏👏

thanks and best wishes dave

Well done! These are fantastic amps.

El sonido esta en las manos... Gran demostración, la estaba esperando con ganas!!!

Awesome demo. Best one I've seen on the new Katana.👍

Great stuff - thanks, Dave!

Great video thank you x oh by the way great guitar solos x

Great playing really enjoyed your delivery.

Sick demo bro, great little amps

Dave...I'm in the market for a new amp...you've given me another serious contender to consider...awesome demo!!!

i own a mk1 and i have never ever seen the need or want to upgrade

I love Katana’s. And I’ll probably buy a Gen3 eventually. But I’m just here to listen to you fiddle around. Your 45 min videos of just messing around are my favorites. Feels like an intimate portrait.

Hello, From the StateS! Dave, I been looking at this amp & Thanks to YOU! It's on my want list. You are a D**E Good Guitarist 🧠 🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 Thanks For Sharing ✌️

Nice playing Dave, and that’s one sweet looking guitar.

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Dave ❤😊

Awesome review man

Sounds amazing! I'm distracted a little by the guitar next to the V in the background. It caught my eye.

Beautiful Sounds. Love it!

Dave amazing as per usual. You blow my Hendrixy oriented mindl I love it when you play angry and mean in only the way you can . Sterling stuff my man and don't stop for two seconds - I dig it! All the best man. Alex the K

Excellent Mr S.. enjoy!🙂

Awesome review, thanks.

Damn, i was having so much fun just watching, lol. Makes me want to play everytime i see one of these unboxings

Dave, I have a 50 MkI and a 50 MkII (connected ABY via the Radial big shot) and I am very happy with that set up. I saw Gen 3 had come out… I watched a few videos and thought I’ll wait and see what Dave says. Dammit, now I need a Gen 3. Well done!

I have been waiting for your review. Still happy with my Mk1 Artist, but always curious about the others.

Nice stuff dave

Cheers mate !! Sweet deal

Can't see Dave part with it now. Hey Boss, let Dave just keep one of the Amps

oh shit. just what i asked for. very nice of u dave

Another great review Dave. I just got a hold of the Kat 50 G3, and it is really one of the best little amps out there. The Mk1 version was very gig worthy and I expect the G3 to carry on the tradition.

I’m sure you made some Katana owners gasp when you removed the cardboard 😂 Unbelievable how Dave can take the amp right out of the box, twist a few knobs and sound AMAZING!

I absolutely love the Katana series. The versatily that it offers is just out of this world.

I got my MkII 100 based largely on the testimonal and videos that you did (not _just_ you, but mainly yours). I *love* my Katana, it has been a far more significant guitar purchase for me than any of my actual guitars or outboard pedals; the first time I just played my fairly mediocre LH Peavey Exp through it clean, at volume, was a life-changing experience and made me completely re-evaluate my guitar itself, and my playing. They're great amps, especially if you get the Librarian or the Android app and dig into the settings a little. This is a great demo, loved it. You would have sold me on a Gen 3 if I didn't have a 12-month old Mk II 🙂

Sounds great . An effects loop and slightly bigger enclosure would have made it even better , but in your exquisite hands , it sounds incredible Dave . ❤

Mitico Dave!! 🤘🏻😎

Looking forward to your Boss Katana Artist Gen3 unboxing and first impressions.

It's insane. Great playing by the way. They have taken it as far as you can go with digital amps. Sounded unbelievable.

Played brilliantly as always

Just an unboxing! Can’t wait for the deep dive, particularly the Artist head..👍🇦🇺

A humorous and good demo from a guitarist with an inspiring and dynamic and emotional guitar playing. As usual, you give me musical inspiration. I have Boss Katana Mark I 100 w top with 4X12. Ulf Stockholm😄😄😄😄😄😄

❤Yeah, best demo out there for this. They need the "Dave's fingers" model though.

Best video of this amp by far and you didn't even try😂. Sitting on a Mk1 myself and wasn't interested in gen 3 until I seen this. Reafirms how good these are for basically not much money

Awesome video dave once again just bought myself one of these bad boys i went with the 100 watt version as you get all the features on there where with 50 version you dont but still coming from a marshall mg that died on me comparing it to this it knocks it clean out the water so versitle what it does so many great sounds to get with it and with me being big chilis fan like you dave like how you suggested what tone to go with for frusciante as there songs are on my to do list eventually also noticed your walking dead fan like me too with epic poster in background😍 but fantasic amp worth the money well done boss 😍👏🎸

Saying it's one the best amps you've ever played through, while sitting in front of a ton of vintage gear is truly saying quite a LOT. Nice playing, Dave!! Boss couldn't have picked a better first impressionist! Cheers, my good man!! Sleep well. 😴😊

amazing playing

It would be so cool to have one of these show up on my front porch. I love how it gets so many great sounds without even one pedal.

I'm tempted. I was thinking of getting the Katana Artist this time around but all of them have had a price hike over GEN 2. I will await your review of the GEN 3 Katana Artist before making my decision. Good vid BTW!

Got a DSL-1 and Origin 5c and seriously think of selling them and get a KAT3. Boss, if you're watching...hand Dave a free Katana 😎

A happy Dave - nuff said!

Awesome unboxing of the Katana Gen 3, but I'm more curious about that old old PS1 you got back there lol!🙂🤣

Love the tool box amp stack! 👍

Nice amp, but even better playing Dave! 🤘🎸

Aaaahhh... Catch the rainbow... Sounds amazing!

Long awaited video, Well done mr Dave

So love our Gen 1 katana,....ever since we got it,....oh yea

Dave stop making me want cool things I need to practice more!

Your first review is still the best one ... 😎

Nice video. I hope you get to try the blackstar amped 2 one day.

I have a Katana 100 mk2. It is my go to gigging amp for all sizes of venue. Weight, ease of use, TONE, flexibility. It has it all. Sold my Vox AC15 Hardwired and Fender Blues Junior...... Don't need them. If this Gen 3 is an improvement I'll be amazed. Great demo btw.

Think I may break down and get a Katana... Mainly because you make them sound so appealing!

Not fair, Dave can make anything sound great.

Top quality player on a top quality amp. Doesn't get any better.

Wow...just....WOW!

Amazing !!!

Tĥe ending!!! 😂😂😂 I just got a mk2 & finding my way with it. Loving the reverbs though

You make that thing sound awesome.
