It’s Already DISCONTINUED!!⚠️
If you connect FS-6 to WL-1 and KGo and if you engage booster why the light on FS-6 isn't ON?
Hi Paul
Your video made me buy a Go
So far so good but not getting very far on adding sessions
I can get a video loaded and playback but can’t find how to edit,add markers or even delete if no longer needed.
Also tone central, pop up saying it’s not yet available
Any advice or one of your excellent videos explaining the minute detail of how to would help me and probably many others
Hi, could you please do a test on how to use the Katana Go with an acoustic guitar??? Thanks!!!
Your playing is extremely expressive! Not just pentatonics but u mixed it with arpeggios etc would love to know your influences!
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.
No bull Paul, great playing, great demo!
O.M.G. that was great.
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 :-/
WOW !!!! quite an amazing a concise review of a product, Playing is also extraordinary, insta sub
Hi Paul I am still inexperienced with a Headphone Amp, how can I connect these Headphone Amp with a Amplifier, my equipment what i have is a Audio Interface and the Boss Katana 50 MK II Tanks for helping
Any suggestions which headphones will be the best buy for sound quality?
Liked & sub’d
Unbelievable playing. Unbelievable tones from this thing ???? hats off to you
Awesome review and great playing. What's your set up to record from the Katana Go, playing along to the backing track to the video? Thanks
Great demo. Thanks studio rats
excellent review of this new super-favorite product. I did not know you can setup Auto Patch changes based on time codes in a backing track!! Thats so goo; your playing is amazing too BTW Paul! Thnx Ill go buy one now!
Can't have the neighbors hating me less…. I'll get a boom box to plug into
Best review of this device and great playing!, Do you know if this can take other Bluetooth controllers? like the IK Multimedia BlueBoard
I get a single coil interference from my prs dc3 … are there strategies to minimize such? I hear zero from your efforts
Late to the party but this is the first time I've seen auto patch change. Pretty damn cool.
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.
Beautiful opening sound.
Absolutely fantastic opening jam!
Hi Paul. Have you applied any global eq to the patches you have created? I’m thinking hi and low cut. I’m still getting a lot of fizz on the higher gain stuff on the Katana. Thanks and best regards, Dave.
How does is sound with headphones. Does it sound like a toy? Should I go to Waza air if I want sound that feels real on a headphones?
I’ve seen a lot of chat on various forums about the Mk3 amps. A few things I think we could expect whenever it might show up is a tuner and the stage feel settings. I’m absolutely digging my Go and I’m finding it hard to put my Strat down. Fantastic bit of gear. Thanks for the tutorial ????????????????????
Don't get it… Why no one's bothered about the unreplaceable internal battery?
By the time I would buy the Go, add the foot pedal, and learn the app, it seems like the Boss GT-1 is the better choice.
Great review ; thanks. Comparison to Waza Air would be interesting.
I think Gary Cherone is going to suddenly appear and start singing.
Is the stereo lead plugged into a mono input of an interface?
I love my Katana 212/100w 1.0!
I remember that you did a nice review about SneakyAmps some time ago. As Katana GO is compatible with MKII presets, does it meant that it is also possible to use them to access those extra amps in this tiny but amazing device? I specifically mean this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOU9nW72Boc
So can I take the headphone out, straight into my hifi aux in and use my hifi speakers?
A bit of Crowded House????Well done!
Mine is coming tomorrow. I have an axefx so why am I so excited?
Would this work with a bass?
Session with your patches!! Killer idea Thanks so much
Amazing. My first Boss was ME5. One thing Katana can't do is Nembrini Overdrive Special.
Nice opening tune!
Best demo of this by far, and some of Paul's best playing too, IMHO!
Great demo & playing!
It's NOT the Kit. It's the PLAYER that makes ALL the DIFFERENCE.
Can the amp and cab be disabled so that the Boss modulations and reverbs and delays could used with the Tonex pedal?
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?
Really good work!!!
Loved that jam track on the intro, Paul!
Begs the Question , why the huge box for a head amp ??
Roll off the volume, show us that its a real amp. Show off its dynamics range for sure.
