Another £120 I didn’t know I needed to spend! Damn you Andertons…. Ultimate salesmen when they can convince you to hand over money on something you didn’t even know you needed. Awesome video and outstanding product! This is gonna be epic for busking into my Bose S1Pro+ alongside the mic input. Ultimate busking setup.
@@MrSJBGuitar Hmmm i don't know! He said something about it being "Danish Pete's loop on RU-vid" but I didn't pay attention 😂 I was too absorbed with his playing
@@MrSJBGuitar not sure if you still need this... but the backing track you were looking for is called "Holding The Groove" which was made by Danish Pete. it's on youtube with a bunch of other great tracks he made. Enjoy :)
Never in all the years of watching Andertons videos have I ever had a “Shut Up And Take My Money” moment …..until now! I bought this thing long before the video ended!This will make my short evening practice sessions so much easier to set up, which will help me to practice more. Thank you Boss!
Depends on your setup and what type of player you are but I go from my amp into a loadbox into my interface out of either studio monitors or headphones. Its not as portable as this of course but it sounds great.
Same here. Watched a PMT video and was like….blimey that sounds good…..Bluetooth backing tracks….only thing I want is ability to dry signal to MacBook via usb
This is one of those monumental products that is going to be looked back at in the future as a pivotal iconic device that was a game changer. Will definitely be doing a video of this on my RU-vid channel. Superb, well done
Literally ordered one, halfway through this video from Andertons. I had some loyalty points itching to be used. Can't wait to play through this over the weekend.
These guys "sold" me on the Fender Mustang Micro awhile back . As a current apartment dweller , these headphone amps are waay cool, as they prevent the neighbors from acting crazy ... As a Katana owner, I guess these little guys (like the biggie Katanas ,) do waay more stuff than I know how to use . Although I am happy with the Fender product, I will probably score one of these Boss guys later this year ...
Great playing! This is a strong offering from Boss. I have the NUX might plug pro and I have to say it's a great practicing to small gigs tool (output to a "boombox" for basking anyone?). Main differences are: nux 7 presets vs katana 30. Nux Pros: * Nux has a much more flexible effect chain, more amps/fx/IRs. * Nux has 19 or so slots for your own IRs. * It has similar Session functionality (automatic preset switching, only local mp3 files, no youtube), it's a bit expanded because you can have multiple setlist on the NUX. So you can have a setlists of 10+ songs, all queued with automatic switching. * Nux many usb settings, to reamp, record dry out, live stream :-0 ???? Nux cons: * I had to use a 3rd party app to take advantage of all the NUX features, * clean sounding amps need some work. * exchanging tones is a bit clunky Katana Pros: * The katana clean sound sounds really good off the bat (in the youtube demos) * stage feel sounds really cool as well (in the youtube demos) * Boss approved footswitch that connects directly to the plug. With the Nux the footswitch connects to the phone, not the plug, so you need to keep the phone open with the app in the foreground for the footswitch to work. * tone exchange (Coming soon June 2024) Katana Cons: * In order to load a youtube video in the session list you need to copy and paste the url from the browser to the app. No biggie I don't have one so I can't speak about what parts of it don't work as advertised. I think with slightly less features it's going to be more likely to have less opportunity for things to not work as you'd think. They both are banging products for as long as the phone apps work. I don't think you can go wrong with either one
Lol, kinda every boss pedal I've owned cracks, pops, and needs resoldered after 2 years....and every Toyota I've driven is noisy, full of cheap terrible plastic and sounds like it could fall apart at any moment.
@@trevorD1156 Which is crazy to me because I own early 2000's boss pedals that get used all the time that are perfect, have driven may Toyota's with well over half a million kms on them that are tight as. If you're American though, you don't get the good Toyota's.
I've never owned a boss pedal that didn't need resoldered, or one that I actually used regularly which makes it even more pathetic. The rest of my pedals are made by joyo, tc electronics , or Donner, all of which I prefer and have never had to open for any reason. I just had my ds1 out comparing it to models of it in amp sims and the sims all sound much better than the real thing.
@@trevorD1156 definitely haven't had that experience. With your amp sim situation though running a produced amp sim through a set of speakers will never ever sound the same as running the same real life rig. It's the same argument people make about Marshall amps sounding thin because they're so use to running software that has a produced quality and sounds huge which just isn't the case in real life.
I have to say - I love Danish Pete’s playing. I’ve been watching you guys for ages now, and I love the reviews (cheers Captain!) but Pete - your taste and feel are great. I’m not even angling for a discount either! 😂😂
@@hardlines2635 a practice amp is not complete without a Looper. I have the Nux Muighty Plug which also good , it has a drum but my dislike is it doesnt have a looper. I would go for the Mooer Prime P2 just bccoz it has a drum machine that synchrozses with the looper. All these new School Pocket Amps sound good. The only reason Id take the Mooer Prime P2 is the Drum Syncing with looper feature.
Ordered one. The ability to practice in silence with the minimum fuss and play along with music is exactly what i want to be able to do. I can do this with a Spark and a set of headphones but this is way more portable and convenient. Just one wire to the headphones and you are off. Sounds great too on the demo.
I bought one of those first Vox ones back when they came out, man technology these days is great! Nice playing in that intro Pete and Lee is soo much better now.
Fantastic playing from Pete! 😎 The Katana:Go seems really good (compatibility with other Katana amps is a big plus for me). If only Boss had brought this out 6 months ago I'd almost certainly opt for it, but now I have a NUX that does everything I need for now.
Bought one after watching this and other videos...then bought two more as gifts...then a backup for myself when Boss announced they were ceasing production on this version of the unit! My guess is they sold even more of these than they had anticipated, realized they should have made it more cheaply, priced it higher, or both, then decided to retool into whatever next iteration awaits. All I can say is, glad I have this one, it's crazy cool!
Literally in the same boat, got the mustang micro, and found the recording off it into the DAW very underwhelming when it came to the volume output, then this came out... not to mention my main rig is an mkII......
When Katana Go first came out I was looking for information about it and I completely skipped over Pete's soloing. I Just heard it and must say that it was simply great. Well done Pete.
A more realistic stage feel would be straining to hear yourself and the singer over the drummer while trying to work if it’s you or the bassist that has got this chord progression wrong
Just to let you know, when you were adjusting the 'Stage Feel' settings, I was able to discern all the changes when listening through the surround sound setup on my computer. Probably not as much as through headphones, but the changes were very clear through my setup. I guess I will have to get one of these, in fact I'd have already ordered one if they were not sold out at my local shop here in Montreal. LOL
@@ethanpunto9222 Possibly, but considering they are in England and I am in Canada, I would expect the shipping to be relatively expensive, not to mention quite slow. By the time they would fill my order, the product will be back in stock at my regular spot. Besides, I have already been in contact with my buddies at Long & McQuade, and they will have them in stock very soon.
Bluetooth just can't handle realtime audio, so there would be too much latency for bluetooth headphones. For backing tracks the latency doesn't matter and videos have lag compensation, which is used to sync the video and the audio.
@@andertons might also be true that bluetooth cant send and receive bluetooth audio at the same time. I can't think of any device that supports that, so there are multiple disadvantages with bluetooth format
@@cirisirpula152 no problems sending and receiving, bluetooth headsets provide that with microphone and earphones - your original explaination is spot on though
that improv by pete in the beginning was juicy as fuck, usually totally not my style, im more of a death metal kind of guy, but that was a vibe and a half
Sounds great! However, the best part of the video was Pete telling Lee not to bury his head in the sand so an ostrich wouldn't sneak up behind him and fall in love....I'm still laughing.......So funny!
I guess you can connect Go to your phone/computer via usb c cable then use your wireless headphones like that. Either way cable will have to be involved somewhere. Perhaps next generation will have full wireless feature.
Got mine yesterday. This is one of those products where somebody finally got everything right. Including the price. There is nothing I wish it would do that it doesn’t. Pair it with your phone, and you not only control it with the app, it will play back audio to the device over Bluetooth for playing along with tracks. It has Bluetooth audio and MIDI. It functions as an audio interface to record the output with your DAW. This is the perfect modern practice amp. The only thing I can say negative about it is that unless there’s something I haven’t figured out, “stage feel” is underwhelming. The available reverbs are much better. The presets are also slightly mediocre, and if you edit your own preset, it can sound much better. But the quality of the modeling is as good as any, and the tiny size is right. The minimum you need is the device and headphones, and you are practicing anywhere, walking around freely. Add the phone, and you get editing and backing tracks. Plug into your computer, and you’re recording. I’m not someone who’s willing to trade a tube amp for modeling, and I have a M/B MarkVII for when I want to get serious. But this is the convenience factor and price I needed as a compliment. Cannot complain. I think this thing is going to sell huge. This is the ideal thing for a beginner who’s learning, or a pro who wants to practice conveniently.
I have one of the original Katana 50 watt amps. Love it. This is great they use the same presets. I'm not allowed to bring the 50 to the living room this Katana Go my gain entry.
Happy times for us music makers and axe neck wrestlers ... Me was into the VOX Amplugs like 10 ago and they worked ... made me happy practicing@night BUT this is quite some quantum leap ... well done BOSS Thanks a lot for sharing ... great demo
Very enjoyable musicianship. Noticed you mentioned a couple of times , to wear headphones. Perhaps , you know this already, some of us are using large screens and AVR's. So we appreciate the video/audio quality of your episodes. Great product, I think I'll get one, since I own and use a K2 100. Cheers.
Bought a Mustang Micro at launch and still love it. The only thing that puts me off the Katana is the app, pretty much abandoned my Spark as I just couldn't be bothered. That said, I will buy one of these along with the Line 6 Pod Express because I don't have enough gear already 😂 Seriously though, I'm sold on the tones, and at the price, I need one. IF ONLY GEAR THIS GOOD WAS AROUND WHEN I WAS A KID lol 😂
As much as people sometimes hate using apps, I think Fender really significantly limited the mustang micro by not having one for a headphone amp specifically to me. Not only is it nice to have an optional way to do a LOT more with your tone and FX. On top of that with how MASSIVELY variable the sound signature is of different sets of headphones or speakers you might plug this into, you really need to be able to have more fine control of even just your EQ than Fender gives you with just a few EQ presets. I've used the Nux headphone amp, and you can set up a sound that is great on one set of headphones, but when you then use that same sound on different headphones or speakers can sound absolutely terrible and you need to adjust it to be usable. With the Fender, you're stuck with what they give you so your option would be just to either play a bad sound, buy new headphones and hope your options sound good through those, or buy an EQ pedal to plug it into and bring that with you everywhere haha.
So - to clarify - to play like Pete, all I need to do is part with just £100 and I'm sorted? Great - just wanted to clarify :))) Great playing, as always, and once again entertaining just listening into you 2 as you demo gear.
I specifically told myself that if this is under 200 bucks I’ll get it. Guess I have to get it. 😂 but I’ve been looking for something like this but other ones haven’t appealed to me that much. This one looks dope!
I hit the play button on this video with the usual giddy anticipation that has become the norm for viewing Andertons releases. However, nothing could have prepared me for the life lesson on amorous ostriches!
Anderton's charged £10 delivery to my part of the UK so sadly I ordered elsewhere as it was only 1.50 delivery from another company, hopefully in future they can get more realistic delivery costs!
Theres another bluetooth latecny issue with looping... the split second delay from hitting a bluetooth footswitch to start/stop the looper just wouldn't work
If Anderton's wants to make an incredibly useful RU-vid short, spend a few minutes plugging the Katana Go into non-standard jacks for guitars like the Ibanez S series and other guitars that use more modern jack openings. Also, plug it into strat guitars with trem arms attached to see how flat the unit can lay so as not to impede whammy arm use. :D
Exactly. I know this because I play many Ibanez S series axes and others and have also been using low to mid priced wireless guitar systems at home for years. @@zoeherriot
We did try it on a few guitars & you do see a few sweeps of those shots in this video - we tried it in the recessed socket on an Ibanez AZ model & it fitted fine. But I've passed your comment on to the video shorts team, so you never know....
My RU-vid has exploded Boss have jumped on the band wagon at the wrong point. They needed to step in at the next gen with Bluetooth and preset editing Mustang and Nux especially already doing this in the space. The embargo lift sent my RU-vid notifications mental lol
Hey, @andertons, can you please update the title and pinned post to state this has been discontinued (for now) and no longer available? Highly disappointed to discover, fall instantly in-love, and then be crushed to hear that this isn't available anymore and the links are dead. :(
Fender needs to release a ToneMaster Micro that has an app, and goes into a guitar better without risk of breakage. The Fender Mustang Micro sounds fantastic. It just needed an app.
