  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 :-/

  • 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.

  • 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 ????????????????????

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?
