Whoever came up with Katana must be driving around in a solid gold car by now. They’ve got so much life and so many great products out of the platform, it would be great to know how many people have started their guitar journey in part because of this technology. Well done Boss. (And nice job Paul!)

@JamesFlorio-ti8gc 2 месяца назад

Exactly 💯 Katana totally changed our view on amps and continue to only blow us away again

@tedjohnson5210 2 месяца назад

The 50 was the first amp I ever bought. Upgraded to an Artist last year. I’d love a set of waza air headphones but the price is a bit much, might pick up one of these though.

@KekmanForTheRestOfTheWorld 2 месяца назад

We should remember, that the Katana is basicly 'just' the GT-100 with a Solid State output stage and speaker. They probably did some more modding but the DSP remains the same. So also some kudos to the inventors of the GT-100 :) I am still waiting for them to release a Katana Multi-FX Pedal for real comparison

@jackblack2321 2 месяца назад

A solid gold car is not feasible. Maybe solid gold outer exterior and interior parts but an engine made out of solid gold would be impossible.

Late to the party but this is the first time I've seen auto patch change. Pretty damn cool.

There's clearly a reason that Boss are called Boss. Also, I love the fact that there is an intro jam, so we hear the full band context.

Unbelievable how this automated programming allows you to focus entirely on your guitar playing without tap dancing! What an age of breakthrough technology that we're living! Wish this thing happened when i was 15 years old cause this would have saved me a lot of money. Paul i don't know if you already done this, but can you do a video about choosing the right frequencies to cut through the mix on rhythm and lead guitar playing, as well as bass guitar? I am a new Boss GX-100 user. Cheers mate,

@lostinpa-dadenduro7555 8 дней назад

Well I just got mine. I love it. Ordered a pair of cabled Apple Ear Pods with the 3.5mm plug to use with it. Those work great because I’m already used to listening to tons of music on ear pods and they are comfortable and lightweight for extended playing. The spatial effect works with the ear pods. Katana Go works with my Beyer Dynamics and Sony cans. As for the sound, it’s like a Swiss Army knife of sounds and effects. You can quickly conjure up whatever sound you imagine with the boatload of effects. This is something that every player should have on hand. Especially if you record. What a bargain.

@geralltwilliams2811 2 месяца назад

I was only wondering the other day when this would come out. All i can say is WOW. Sorry line 6 but it makes your latest pod in a plastic red box look like a childs toy. I was hooked onto the katana artist combo and then the gx100 and now this! I cant wait to see what they do with the gt1000 next. BOSS are smashing it out the park. It can even talk via bletooth to their wireless foot controller and expression pedal. Incredible !!!

@jamiebriggs8277 2 месяца назад

Very cool. Nice demo too. I just got a spark go a little while ago, may have waited if I knew this was coming (though I do love the spark go, and I love that I can run a line out from it into the power amp in of my katana artist, or to a PA, and play it loud). It'd be great if Boss would release a mobile app for the regular katana while they're at it...

@VictorEMusique 2 месяца назад

Great jam! There were a few companies that made guitars with built in effects but they did not have a professional sound. With something like this and a BluGuitar nanotube built INTO a guitar.... is there even a need for an amp anymore? There is so much available real estate on an electric guitar that could accommodate a device like this but with a 1/8 size tube as well? 4 buttons for your 4 most used sounds? Plus wireless? If the guitar was a solid, playable guitar, the effects sounded like the Katana and it was all going through a tube (probably need to have a SPEAKER out jack on the guitar instead of an instrument out) I think that would be a serious option....

@paulhaustead7346 29 дней назад

@johnoakleymusic 2 месяца назад

Not true about putting the Go patches on your amp. You Can put amp patches into the Go but not vice versa. Weird oversight if you ask me but maybe that’ll be fixed in the future with updates. Great video as always though young man. Would love to make a video with you one day for my channel. Top man!

@scottbecker3485 2 месяца назад

Lucious and lovely, both playing and sound! So have you compared the sound of the KG to that of the NUX things that do kinda the same thing? I bought (and still have) both a NUX and a Fender Mustang Micro, and couldn‘t warm up to the sound of the NUX, nor to the limited options of the Fender (with no app control). So maybe the Go is the way to, er, go?

@davroshalfbeard8368 2 месяца назад

Handy gadget if I was going down that line would go for the wazz air .

@robinbrown7890 Месяц назад

Great demo Paul.....awesome tones, so much so that on the back of this vid I bought one. One issue.....the Go does not feel like a solid latch into my Strat (style) guitar jack....it pushes back out a couple of mm after pushing into the jack. So to turn on, or adjust the volume, I have to hold it in place with one hand and adjust with the other. I have taken the jack output out of my guitar and squeezed/bent the contact closer but it does not help. Never had this issue with NUX mighty or Fender Micro.....so, Go owners, do I have a bad one, anyone else have this issue where its just not secure in place, and moves with the slightest touch. Any comments gratefully received. Thanks again for the fabulous demo Paul.

Got one of these a month ago on Reverb from a music store in NYC when no one else had any available (they're still listed as "coming soon" at Sweetwater). Unfortunately it was a dead unit! I got an RM# from Roland since the music store I got it from did not have any others to replace it with (they did offer me a full refund and free return shipping). Roland replaced it with a brand new unit and it arrived a few days ago (happy again)! Well the replacement Katana:Go doesn't work either!! I'm sure it's the greatest thing since sliced bread - if you can get a working model :-/

@bjuretic 2 месяца назад

Actually, no reason there should not be a version of this without the plastics which can be placed inside of the guitar itself. Then you would only need a wireless footswitch.

@JTB-- 2 месяца назад

@@richieknight5423 I get that there are work arounds for drums, but the real beauty of these type guitar HP units is when you get the late night urge, or your warming up before a gig... you can just plug in and jam with a drum machine. The Nux and Flamma have Drum Grooves on their similar products and it's just puzzling why Boss omitted this feature. Boss could have cornered the market on these headphone amps if it had a Drum Machine feature. It would have been a total Home Run
