Boss /Roland engineers are so very lucky to have you as their Demonstration product PR Guy! Never too much over the top Alex. You understand the value of great equipment and definitely know how to get the best out of their products! Thanks mate for being that guy Alex. Cheers mate 🍻👽✌🏻Dana E💫
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Im great thanks - Im getting the BOSS/Roland itch again tho! haha Ill be grabbing some new stuff very soon. Hope your music career is going well - keep us informed when youre doing new stuff or tours
The only review I trust! 😂 but yeah man, I"ve been looking into this as my first pro guitar amp; glad this new gen came out before I had to money to buy one!
Yay Alex!!!! 👍🎶👍🎵🎸🎶🎵🙏♥️😎 Great Demonstration and Performances!!!! I'm Ordering the 212 Gen 3!!!! 👍👍😎 Hey, I've got the Same Shoes as You, mine were made in Ireland!!!! 🍀🎶🎵😎
Great demo, great player. Boss continues to innovate and still keeps costs reasonably low. These katakana amps server a purpose, sounds good and you get a lot of different effects to check out. Hard to beat for the money. Thanks for the demo
Own a Gen 3. They have improved the tones over v1 and v2. Pushed is a nice to have not worked the sweet spot yet. Just stuck with what I know. Edge on Clean and Crunch. Was able to dial in three decent tones straight off the panel before jumping into Tone Studio to find tune.
Nice playing as always Alex. Would've liked to see your review cover the new /different / additional capabilities of the MkIII versus the MkII. I can do virtually everything you showed on my MkII Artist, apart from the PUSHED amp type, which is easy to replicate on the MkII anyway.
Cheers mate, yes this was more just an organic demo where I wanted to give a general overview as I knew there would be plenty of other channels doing the comparison type content. I’ve just had a look and there’s a couple up already.. I hope they’ll help mate. All the best 👍🙏🎸
I noticed you told a Commentor below , you had bought your Hat 10 years ago , The Hat last for years but the gear you show us all is only Seasonal.. lol 😂 always showing us Incredible new Gear ,, your the Bomb bro,, "George from Florida"
Great demo. I fell in love with vibrato effects listening to the soundtrack of the old original Twin Peaks TV show (ft. Julee Cruise God rest her soul). Obviously been put to good use by many great players of course, including yourself. Were you using an external looper or one built into the Katana? That first loop, as straightforward as it was, was glorious!
That guitar is unreal! I recently bought a Boss Nextone Stage amp. What makes it different than the Katana (I have a gen 1 Katana Artist) is how the amp on the Nextone behaves when you play with the channel and master volumes. On the clean channel I can get awesome breakup with particularly my higher gain guitars. With that said, if what Boss did was add the Nextone amp to the Katana, the Katana goes from great to incredible!!!! Saw lots of videos comparing the Katana to the Nextone, always picking the Katana as "better". The Katana is better (so much more to it), but the Nextone is special in itself. Again, if my assumption is correct and Gen 3 adds the Nextone modeling, WOW!
Is this a tube type amp or solid state? The next question is how many watts 50 or 100? Lastly how much does it weight and is it one 12 inch speaker or two 12’s? The reason I’m asking Alex is I’m replacing my Crate 212 Terror anniversary amp due to weight and my ability to carry it around any longer. Thanks mate🙏🏻☮️🍻😁Dana E💫
I don't want to come across as a Troll but this isn't a new Gen,,, it's only just an update if we are being honest... No BT (optional dongle), No BT control via foot switch.. No built in wireless receiver, no looper.. it's a MK2 with more EQ and that’s it.
So is the Looper going into the 3gen as well, is the guitar just going into the amp no Looper? Can you do guitar > Looper > Katana and have the expression grain from the katana only affect the live guitar not the loop?
Headless guitar propaganda… 😂 it’s working, though. I‘m considering the Katana. With the current valve/tube prices being what they are, it’s either a vacuum refresh or the entire thing.
Having to pay extra for Bluetooth adaptor is a rubbish money grab when it's been standard on many other amps for years. It's a shame as it overcomes having to have your mobile or laptop physically connected
