  • Thanks for the review! After watching and reading some reviews I've ordered this along with a JEM Junior white, which is all I could afford within my budget right now. I stopped playing for years due to mental health and financial circumstances, no longer owned any equipment. Went to see Joe Satriani 10days ago in Perth WA and it re-lit a fire in my belly for playing!!!! So happy I will be back to doing what I was born to do! Hope you don't mind me sharing! OH and I got to meet Joe last week, 22yrs after I first met him (actually translated/interviewed him in France!) wish I could post a photo to show you.

    Anyway, Enough rambling. You sir, have gained a new sub, you seem pretty awesome mate!
    P.S I believe the standby mode is more so you can still have it hooked up to your PC or external source without it blaring out the speaker 😀

  • Here's the problem with the new Katana. Only 4 saved "channels" TOTAL. You have to use the computer and tonelab to add combinations of effects and save those on top of one of your 4 preset channels. This makes for a hassle to always use the computer to tweak your amp with those 50 effects! Other than that it would have been the perfect amp. It would have been so easy to add 100 presets into this amp instead of a pathetic 4. I'll wait for Katana II. Big oversight and soooo easy to have implemented….Hurry up Boss I'm waiting for the "World's Second Boss Amplifier"

  • I LOVE my Katana 100, particularly Crunch channel, Gain on full, Volume at 1 o'clock, Blues Drive at 10 o'clock, Bass MORE than 12 o'clock, mid & treb LESS than 12…. bit of delay and reverb…. check out "Paul Stafford Cook plays Cause We've Ended As Lovers" to hear an example of that tone.

  • no clean sound demo at all? no semi distorted? no blues? no crunch…. weird demo. net playing time 10% of the video

  • I just bought this amp. While it's got a great tone with acoustic guitars and for modern stuff like the guy in this video plays very nicely, the amp just can't seem to achieve a good mid gain fender blues tone. It just sounds a bit synthetic, but much better than my horrible Blackstar. I'm a bit disappointed actually, and will probably be selling it for a Fender amp. I really wanted this to work though, because it has everything I need. Just wish the Fenders had good built in effects, and acoustic speaker, etc.

  • How are the delays? With the fender mustang 3, when I did open chords with delay, it wasn't really the best.

  • Hey people in the comments do you reckon this amp would be just as good for acoustic guitar sounds as well as the heavy metal tones? Let me know what you think

  • Do you try "line out" for recording into soundcard and emulating poweramp & cabinet with vst's, i wanna buy this amp and line out sound quailty is a deciding factor for me, is it possible for you to upload a little demo for it with hi gain tones?
