In today's day and age of attention deficit, boss really killed it on getting a decent tone, not much learning curve, very intuitive and simple layout without much frills. I see this amp geared towards thoes who want a little "more" flexabilty. The high gain through my good headphones sounded very "line 6s" spyder vibes. I'm sure you could get a decent tone with some tweaking, but the brown and lead settings out of the box on katanas is 2nd to none for a digital amp. The katana mk1 was the first digital amp when it came out in 2016 that I plugged in and said "wow, for a digital amp, this is the first time I'm saying this is usable/good tone within seconds" seems the market is trying to minick the wild ly successful katana line

There needs to be a tiny version with a six or eight inch speaker. Any of these are big enough to use for gigs. I want a tiny one for my bedroom. Even though the power can be cut for these larger amps, they're still big. Is the software accessed through a browser or a program? I don't use Windoz or OS X. As usual Lee gives Paul a hard time about digital. He does that to Paul more than any other person bringing gear for demos.

@Spivonious 2 месяца назад

I've got the first-gen 60W. It isn't physically big. It's basically a 12" speaker with a couple of inches on all sides. Running in 1/2W mode keeps it quiet enough for the bedroom. Even 30W mode is usable if you want a little extra punch without bothering the neighbors. The software is a program, but I've never even installed it. Most settings are accessible through the amp itself. Perfect for me since I want to plug in and play, not spend hours tweaking settings.

@nigelbarnes818 2 месяца назад

There was an issue with using the direct output into an audio interface. The signal is too hot. So you have to turn down the channel volume, which affects the tone. The only solution is to use the USB interface on the amp, but then you have to switch back if you want to monitor through your own interface. P.S. I can't place Paul's accent. Sometimes I think he's from around Newcastle, and other times I think he's from Scotland. To be fair, I suppose the further north you go, they might sound similar. Don't tell people from Newcastle I said that. 😉😂

@Marinatina2 2 месяца назад

Thanks for saying this. I haven't watched the video yet, but have watched other catalyst videos recently and this seems to be the one big universal complaint. I was kind of hoping maybe in this video the guys addressed that or mentioned a software update so I could consider buying one of these for fun. I feel the reason Yamaha keeps the "Line 6" name around is to label all their non top quality products because if this thing was the "Yamaha Catalyst" a feature to solve this would have been added in an update within a quarter year of the product launch.

I've owned many Line 6 products, primarily due to their affordability. However, I've always found their amps to have a distinctly digital sound, especially when using distorted tones, resulting in a fuzzy clipping effect. In contrast, my Kemper, as well as the Tone Master Pro and Fractal FM3 I've borrowed, don't suffer from this harsh digital top end. Line 6 should really consider addressing this issue.

@@robles1999 that's because you don't understand how product development works. BOSS is the best at managing the balance between cost cutting and quality, and tons of people still mod their pedals to make them sound better. the processors required to have digital distortion without cutting the high end are expensive and even the Kemper IR's and the Neural QC models and IR's are limited as well. look for digital pedals with analog dry-through, most are more expensive because phase-matching after the latency of the digital parts (no latency doesn't exist) costs too much money Rabea uses his QC for effects only for this reason. These guys on Andertons have said Kemper profiles are only as good as the person making them and there's not exactly that many people making good ones.

@stoneysdead689 2 месяца назад

Cap. just said a mouthful when he was talking about how some makers have decided to not let users put together components that don't sound good together. This is a problem with a lot of more complex pedals- it's too easy to get a bad sound out of them, and too difficult to get a good one. As a result, many end users think it's crap when the reality is- they just didn't know how to use it. The Lion 68 by UAFX is like this- it's super easy to make it sound like crap. But then you download the presets and it's like "Wow, I had no idea this stuff was in here." you find all kinds of classic tones that sound amazing. Problem is- none of them show you the values of any of the parameters- so you have no idea how much midrange, bass, treble, room, gain, etc. is being used to come up with this sound. If you did, you'd have a good idea how to dial in your own stuff- but you don't. The sweet spot on each parameter, for each sound you want- is tiny, which makes it very difficult to find. And since each parameter effects the one after it- good luck. I've found the best thing to do is use one of the more neutral presets and then start building your sound from there.

@SchroedingerK 2 месяца назад

I had a couple friends with Line6 amps 15-20 years ago. One of them was a bit simpler and easier to dial in a pretty good tone. The other was a first gen Spyder and it had a giant foot switch with a little screen on it with all the submenús and million options which mostly sounded like crap. It took forever to find a tone I liked. For a very long time, I've been a "tube amp" guy, but the modeling stuff has gotten so much better in the last few years AND manufacturers have done a better job simplifying the user interface so that you can plug in and play your guitar, not play the amp.

@stoneysdead689 2 месяца назад

@@SchroedingerK True- I'm using the UAFX pedals and they sound amazing- better than any modeler I've ever heard- but they are a technical nightmare to use. First thing you need to do with it is update the firmware- which requires a USB C port on your computer. And you can't just adapt a USB 3.1 into USB C- you have to have USB C on your computer- which means it needs to be a fairly up to date PC. I had to buy a new one- mine did not have USB C. Then- you get your cabs and presets- but the presets are stored on your phone- not in the pedal. Which means every time you want to change presets- you have to pair your phone to the pedal with Bluetooth. And this connection will time out between songs so- between every song you're having to pair it again and fiddle with your phone and the pedal for 10-15 minutes to make it work. That said- it sounds so good once you do load the preset and all- I don't want to stop using it.

I got my old Spider IV 150 fixed (bad capacitors), and it's good to go for another decade trouble free, and by then we'll all be playing guitar through laptops plugged in mixing consoles or FRFR loudspeakers, and any well maintained Spider will maybe be a "collectible".

The Catalyst series from Line 6 is known for not sounding particularly good, probably due to the speaker rather than the modeling itself. This is very unfortunate because I had the Spider Valve Mark III combo in collaboration with Bogner, and I also have the head amp, which is amazing. I don't understand why Line 6 can't do better when they have the experience and talent. I still remember when I started playing guitar at 17 or 18. It was the beginning of modeling, and this brand was really the best at that time, producing some incredible products. I haven't had the chance to test this particular amp, but from what I hear and the comments, even the Fender GTX sounds better than this. Are there people here who have tried it and have a more nuanced opinion on the new models? I'm curious to hear.

BOSS better has to win, the Katana 100 with footswitch costs 650,- which is a different price league. A very bold change of prices in my humble opinion. And I'm wondering if BOSS can stick to these prices or if they have to lower it as with the Dual Cube LX.

@@VioletSerenade Surely you realize that's not an accident- right? They knew when Boss was releasing the Gen 3 Katana- and that's their real competition, and they know it. The Katana sounds better to me- and that's coming from a completely neutral party- I don't use either, I use UAFX pedals. Nor do I really care which sounds better but- the Boss does.

@VioletSerenade 2 месяца назад

@@stoneysdead689 That’s kind of the point i was making. I used to own two Katanas, a 50w and an Artist MK1. The 50 was good for rehearsals but IMO the Katana series are way way overhyped. Good for practicing but anything else, eh. (I play modern metal mainly though so that may just be me) To my ears and tastes, the Line 6 sounds better but i haven’t played a Catalyst so i can’t really comment on the matter.

@Civic. 2 месяца назад

I think he might have done this amp a disservice by demoing all the models with too much gain+bass and effects always turned on. The whole too much bass+gain squish thing on every model with reverb and delay always turned on felt like a throwback to a time when the consensus was amp modelling sucks and only sounds good on clean models and they always use too much effects to try and hide the sucky amp models. Feature wise I really want to like this amp because I really like how it works but in this video I really didn't like the sound of it. And because I know that Helix stuff sounds good I think this demo perhaps gave a unnecessary false impression.

I think the only disappointment with the Katana Gen 3 is people complaining about cost and facilities, like lack of FX loop on the 50W model, GAFC compatibility, and the fact you have to buy the BT adaptor separately. I've not seen anyone who liked the previous versions complaining about the tones from the Gen 3.

9 out of 10 people choosing a digital amplifier are buying the boss katana. If you were any other company why on earth would you make it just look similar to the boss because no one's gonna buy it. Do them all in a classic cream vinyl finish with gold grills or deep red speaker grills.

I hear a lot of piercing fizz and fart and often a lack of deep mids or upper lows. Since I`ve heard better demos, I wonder if they made this demo intentionally bad, or if the amp really sounds like this.
