the strat sound sells me

[@andreil1234]

The Mark I was very nice in that regard, I had a budget Vintage V6 strat (albeit a great specimen) with TexMex and it really killed through the Katana 50 and Katana Head. The searing high gain husky voiced solos leave a lot to be desired imho, although with some tweaking you can get there I suppose, just not out of the box. In that regard, THR10x was a real treat. But for Clean / Crunchy and EVH stuff, Katanas are great. It just does not have that elastic and well rounded feel when doing more fusiony gainy stuff I suppose, at least not out of the box, that is. I really liked them, regret having sold the head as it affords nice practice volume through its speaker and you can hook it up to any compatible cabinet of choice. I guess you can find a nice warmer broken in speaker for those eerie leads.

[@jimmxjx2854]

Ok, I just went out and bought the MKll and the Yamaha 502T just because I like how they work together on the blues tone demo. Wow, those P90's are awesome..

[@Zsigmund]

wow the most tonally diverse review of the katana II i've seen on the tubes of you, thanks

[@stevef4010]

If Keith Richards and Scott Weiland had a love child.....

[@jeremybnz]

For ambient stuff you want way shorter delay times, like < 150ms, you just want them there to fatten things up and add sustain :) Sick playing tho', love your gat selection too!

[@boogieperry8893]

Nice VH licks, is that the saturday night special in the bridge of the wolfie? The Katana does just enough in the tone dept. If you're playing well and right in the pocket, it's pretty cool.

[@ilovenoise]

They're pretty damn great for the bucks. Yeah my Wolfie has the pair of Saturday Night Specials. Nice chunky tone.

[@ZachHarkey]

I don't see any way to actually download the presets on that page. All the links send to generic driver update page. Am I missing something? Where are the actual patch files?

[@davehines4417]

James, I'm usually REAL good with computers but I cant for the life of me get to a download link for your tracks. Followed the link Brought me to your page Scrolled down to the tones. You can hear it and view the track. No Download link. I'm sure I'm missing something. Would you be kind enough to tell me EXACTLY how to download the Metal Clean??? I thank you in advance. BTW, I got back into the video to replicate the settings manually. Unfortunately The screen shot truncates the bottom half of the three remaining settings Again, thanks Dave

[@MultiJohnf1]

Hi I have been trying and the same thing, I have Katana tone studio ,but cant find a download link on tone central, Did you ever figure it out?

[@michieljaspers9889]

How did you get the "classic clean strat sound" in the woodstock section, before changing to the octave effect? Sounds killer!

[@yjmsrv]

Check out 3:34- it shows the amp settings for that tone.

[@stevendearden8030]

Some great tones...I'm looking forward to trying 'em out as I leave my valve comfort zone and journey towards the digital side.

[@briangdozier]

Hey James, Thanks for sharing the DJENT tone on the Boss Tone Studio platform! This Tone is so delicious and yummy! It's my favorite tone. I wish I could import it over to my GT-1000. PLZ consider doing some tones for the GT-1000. Thanks!

[@Black-Viper75]

I'm looking into buying a Katana Artist MkII but your demo on the 100 MkII is seriously the best Katana showcase demo I've seen on the internet. No bs straight to the point. Great video !!! So I'm thinking if the 100 Mk II sounds so awesome then the Artist should just take that to the next level.

[@jacobsmith1877]

The mic has an extremely tight sound against the cab; proximity effect seems pronounced. It works for the clean tones but on the gain I wonder if it would sound better with the mic backed off

[@DutchGuitarDude]

As always awesome tones!

[@ilovenoise]

Thanks!

[@DamianGDI2012]

Djent clearly not his forté 🤣🤣 tone was terrible. Clean stuff was good tho.

[@ilovenoise]

Doing my best 🙃

[@Samford_]

sadly with my guitar all of these tones sound completely different

[@TOPMOSTPOP]

Th thing s>(ounz) decidedly buzzy. No1 seems 2appreciate thsuperiority of analog tubeless amps. I hear tell this could be 1 or th other. Is there any1 out there happn2 (actuallyl) know? Example. I play a Blackstar LT15 ECHO Analog in (true) stereo. Go listen2 1you might throw ur mono Katana in 3. (Gain on 10, tone on 10, ISF in thmiddle) And stop buying mono amps 4godsakes. Yea like i am really gonna get up out my chair 2make sure i hit thmono button in my car stereo. Yeeea "we only want thnoise 2dimensional &blowing in2 only1 ear" lolmost. What on earth or heaven u people thinking no amps have a Tom Shcolz BOSTON button? Does any1 outhere know any1 can teach me how2 dial a Boston tone in2 an MKII 2X12 (???)

[@Juliien1996]

Is the foot switch mandatory for the live set to work ? I have the Katana 50 MK2 but when I'm loading the sweet blues set it doesn't sound like you at all :(

HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE PRESET SIR

[@SG-kg7ev]

Nice demo, i have a marshall dsl40 with a be-od in front on clean channel thats barely keeping up in bar cover band. Do you think that the 100watt 1x12 will be loud enough to keep up or do I need a 2x12 100 watt. thanks for input

Go with the Boss Katana MKII 2×12 for a little extra cash..you won't regret it

Great package for the money , some decent sounds, but it's no GT-1000.

So how do you actually download these? Ive followed the link and it tells me to download boss software which i have. When i click tone library on the program I can only see 6 tones in the liveset? cant acess anyting else

[@shredit_nyc]

Trying to figure out the same. There's no link to download the "Live Set" or the individual tones (scratching head)

[@Sulcino]

Open Tone Studio and go to the Tone Central.

These patches sound awesome in the demo but sound very thin on the 50w Mkll in person.

[@midniterunband]

i just got the boss 100 MKii and ive tried dialing in some sound patches on it exactly like the people on youtube video showed and sounded nothing like their sound? then i thought let me mic it through my pa in my studio and sounded much better!!!

Great review mate.

Dear Ryan, could you dump these presets into a live set so mk1 users can use it too?

Most definitely - the link is now in the description. Cheers!

@@ilovenoise oh I see now only for mk2. Can you manually make a backup of the liveset and place it somewhere for download, because in bts its only for mk2

There is no way to download Patches. You can only listen to them. Only BOSS STUDIO and drivers can be downloaded.
