The Orange sounded better to me in this demo, I also like that it's straightforward to use and tweak on the fly. The Katana is very good and ideal for indoors and studio tweaking, where it can do much more than shown here. For band practise and jamming with mates I would choose the Orange. I would love to own either amp tbh.. Thanks for a good no nonsense demo.

I think they both sound good, although the Orange sounds significantly better. But if I wasn't listening to them side by side I'd have no issue with the sound of the Katana, so in the context of a song I wouldn't really matter as far as I'm concerned. The Katana is a great all in one that has all the effects you could ever need, so if saving some money is the overall goal it comes out front. But cost is not a concern, then Orange would be the way to go.
@BlazertronGames8 ай бұрын
I actually thought the katana sounded better in many cases. But I'm interested in the fact that the orange is completely analog. If one of the digital chips on your katana dies, there's a good chance it's just going on a landfill, whereas with completely analog, it can likely be fixed by just replacing some components. The orange will probably outlast katana's.

If you plugged in to an Orange you would immediately see the difference. I see the attraction of the Katana with all the built-in effects and Tone Studio but in the end, it all sounds exactly the same. This little 35RT is so sensitive and responsive It's like night and day to the Katana. It doesn't hide anything. You hear when you touch the strings. It isn't perfect. It's a small closed cab with a 10 inch speaker but it will still move some air.

I have the Boss Katana 100 watt Head Mk 1 version. Did a simple factory reset and NEVER plug it into a computer.....EVER. I do plug it into either an old Marshall 4--12, Vox 2-12, Peavey or a Dime Cabinet. I also use pedals with it. As you can imagine, depending on what cabinet or pedals, it sounds radically different. I love it. Excellent bang for my buck when I don't want to bother with one of my tube amps. BOTH the Orange and Katana are Solid State as far as the Drive or Amp sections are concerned. What IS digital on the Katana is the pedal's and effects modelling, FX loop and pedal footswitching. But the GUTS of both, the "engine under the hood" of BOTH is good old Solid state. I wouldn't mind owning an Orange one day. They also sound great. If you get a deal on a used Boss 100 Watt head MK 1 version, like I did. DO IT. And I am usually "tube guy."

@hanktteotd Жыл бұрын
For the record, the Katana is an all Analog amp with digital effects. I was looking into the Crush series and I was torn between that and the Katana for a while. I ended up going with the Katana Artist MKii for a few reasons. The upgraded speaker (which isn’t hard-wired so you can use it at a 1x12” cab for your other amps) and the line out where I can bypass the built in Cab Sim to record direct with 3rd party IR’s. The next amp I would plan to get is the Crush 100 head and plug it through the Katana’s speaker. I think they’re both excellent, but you obviously have to spend some time with the Katana, and have a decent understanding of EQ and how to run a solid signal chain, to really make it shine. That, and the speaker in the regular Katana’s is just too scooped for my taste. The Waza speaker adds more midrange and really makes the difference in your tone.

Since my post below, I've bought a Katana 100. Initially I was disappointed after reading all the hype, and as I'm still in the return period was thinking of returning it. BUT that was premature and before I started fiddling with Tone Studio. You can adjust everything and there is a massive range of effects available, all of which can be saved to presets. I compared the on-board Rat pedal with my real Rat and they sound so similar that I can now sell my Rat pedal and get some money back. You can really shape the sound to what you want, though you need to put the time into it initially. But once you've saved some settings that you like, it's then a grab and go with no more twiddling. I'm sure that the Orange sound could be recreated on the Katana. Plus there's loads of support videos (eg Studio Rats) and hardware such as the GA-FC pedal, and it has an easily accessible FX loop (it's under the chassis on the CR60) and has the 0.5W setting which makes it easy to tweak volume at bedroom levels. It's definitely growing on me and becoming a bit of an obsession. Lessons: 1) don't judge a Katana based on the factory settings 2) use Tone Studio to adjust it to your preferences 3) ignore the crunch/lead/brown channels and stick with the clean channel, adding on board dirt and other pedals as required.

It was great when I wanted a bunch of different effects starting out and I didn’t have any pedals but playing clean through the katana vs even an orange crush 12 there was a huge difference and my 12 sounded so much better that my katana collected dust. I use the 35RT now. I’m not saying the katana is a terrible amp, but it’s decent at a lot of things but not great at anything. The analog amps are going to be great at a few things but lack the versatility of all the digital bells and whistles.

I've tried both of these amps at a music store. Orange Crush 35RT is just plug and play, hard to get a bad sound out of it to my ears, I like the mid-focused sound. The Boss was very noisy and the low to mid-gain distortion lacked dynamics compared to the Orange. I thought the built-in effects on the Boss Katana were pretty good though. I have a Vox VT40x. I'd say it sits somewhere between these two. I only use maybe 3 of the amp models, but they have good dynamics. It's noisier than the Orange but quieter than the Katana. It has some built in effects that range from good to disappointing. It has an app for editing that I've never bothered using. Headphone out is alright. I'm thinking about replacing it with the Orange Crush 35RT now that I own some effects pedals.

The crush 35 lasted a few months, the silverline lasted 6 months. The Marshall 50DFX has lasted over 12 years. Everyone eventually finds their own sound, mines has always been Marshall. I would advise anyone who is looking at buying an amp to take your guitar with you to a shop. Line up the amps you fancy and have a good play on all of them.

I'm more of a clean guy and the Crush sounds a little more lush and full on clean tones.

I feel there's a lot more fiddling with the effects and eq on the Boss that could get you to all the places where the Orange sounds better. I just bought my son a mono price $120-delivered 5W 6v6 based 8" combo. A few $25 amazon pedals gets me to a better place than either of these. I mainly play around on my 5W Gibson el84 based reissue. 38W Boogie and 60W Crate tube amps are just too much off-stage. You have to start somewhere and we learn more about what we want as we go and for that, either of these are nice options. I don't see why all these amps don't have a built-in tuner, these days. I've got an Orange Micro Crush and a Bass Crush 100. Both have them.

I find something to like out of almost any amp. SS and digital are great IMO since i live in a region which trades climates with planet Venus 8 months out of the year (Texas), and beating the heat is an endeavor which really does border on the desperate, lol. Tube amps double as space heaters during the 11-minute winters. Happily, SS "arrived" approx 20ish years ago with the advent of the Peavey Transvestube series. Others quickly aped the formula; I have a B-52 100-watt brain among other things, and in the context of my lousy mixes, it's never just super obvious it's a SS amp. And VSTs such as Amp Room, Overloud etc are just perfect for when it's 2am, and I could possibly earn more blood enemies, namely my neighbors, if i were to fire up my 150-watt Bugera Dollar General Plexi remake thru my Marshall AVT series (a "cheap" line, but it sounds great, very luckily) 4x12, lol.

Thanks for this Demo, this is exactly what I needed, since I have to choose which one of those I'll buy. It's going to be the orange 🫡

As someone who owns the super crush 100, if you want a certain tone go for the orange. However if you want a really good range of sounds and fx then it's really a no brainer to pick a katana.

Yeah, modelers are still “try it out” amps for me. They’re all well and good but once you find a sound you like you can get it way better elsewhere.
@beaumas Жыл бұрын
@@Dram1984 completely agree. Until you find a sound that you really like modellers are great, but yeah once you try a proper Marshall or fender and such it's really hard to go back and enjoy a modelling amp.

What I noticed is that the knob settings on both amps are at noon. Expecting two completely different amps to sound similar is ridiculous at best. A better way to show the two amps would be the set the Orange to a tone. Say, everything at noon and then adjust the other amp as needed, in this case the Katana to sound as close as possible.
@sevendblackjem10 ай бұрын
Max the master volume and turn down the volume and tweak the parameters in the software. And then the Katana will sound more tube like and sound better than the Orange. The Katana Mark lls sound really good… 🎸💯

If you use the EQ and the residence controls on the Boss Katana it would sound closer to the orange , But a tube amp has a much wider frequency band then a solid state amp . A tube amp will always sound fuller . That's just the nature of tubes . Me personally The lighter weight and all the bells and whistles . I Will always choose the Boss Katana. Close is good enough . Unless you're doing a side by side comparison no one's going to notice .

I think the Katana would probably sound more full in person and possibly more pleasing to the ear when practicing alone, but the Crush would sit WAY better in a full band. It has a more present, upfront sound. It would cut through and sit perfectly on top of a bass. The Katana would get lost and muddy.

@@craighamboi am looking to get a new amp and I am not sure yet which one of these two i am going to get. I wanted to get the orange crush 35rt but someone said i should get the katana instead. I just think dowloading presets and all looks like a hassle. I am also mostly interested in heavier styles like metal btw

@@FL0RIS0 you will be fine with either,the orange has way better cleans and has a 4 stage gain which is amazing for heavier music and also a built in reverb and tuner as well as an effects loop.the katana is also pretty good and when paired with the app you have heaps of distortions,delays,overdrives and mods.if you want the simpler option go for the orange as it is straight plug and play and sounds brilliant.

In my experience the Orange clean sound is weak and boxy. The Katana seems to project the sound better. I don’t use dirty tones often so it’s not really a concern for me.
