Sounds good.

[@paulwesley3222]

Great video - I love the no talking format and the guitar was in tune!

[@dver4624]

It's amazing how many people put out videos with a guitar that isn't in tune or has really crap intonation.

[@savin9424]

Watching these videos I seriously wonder why I care so much about my guitar in tune

[@jupa6100]

Nice observation. But how do you come to know if a guitar is in tune?? Just my curiosity?

[@brownpunk1794]

@@jupa6100 it will sound "right"

[@Torino2006]

Katana is one of the best sounding effects in modeling amps.

[@spacefrogmogg]

my jaw dropped at 2:53 what a beautiful sounding riff

[@alanknott363]

Me too, sounded awesome with the swampy tremolo thing going on. I could spend hours with this tone.

[@spacefrogmogg]

@@alanknott363 This is really cool, forgot I posted this comment. I ended up getting the 100 and the tremolo is definitely my favourite sound.

[@bradh6185]

I bought one of these and I'm stunned. While both my gigging tube amps were in the shop, I bought the 50 mkII for home practice. I took the Katana to band practice to get me by since my other amps weren't back. I couldn't believe it! This thing had PLENTY of volume and sounded great! I took it back for the show! The room seats 100 and I didn't go through PA- Amp only! My Tele sounds great through it. If you are playing metal, or your band plays at very high volumes, this might not be gig worthy for you. But in a band that plays country, blues, etc at moderate levels, it might just work. What a value at $250. I might even sell my tube amps. I play all clean. I haven't tried the distortion settings at a gig. So I can't speak for that. But I ran my Boss delay through the front(no effects loop) and it took the pedal extremely well. I can say I would have chosen the 100 watt version for an extra $100 which is better set up for gigs had I known this thing would do so well. Another thing is when I got it home, I thought it sounded a bit thin, but I think the speaker is really opening up after several hours of playing.

[@rgbplumbinghilton]

I have gigged a 100 head for a couple of years now and never used it in 100 watt mode!! Plenty loud enough at 50 watts.

[@russellnotestine6436]

If you put a mic in front of it you could play arenas with it. Stage volume kills sound

[@277southtombob]

I’ve been a diehard tube amp guy for years but I’m really tempted by these. I think for me the foot switch is a must have for it but I really like the idea and they sound amazing for a solid state modeling amp. The price is amazing too.

[@donotfret]

its not equiped with a output jack for cabinets but that is easy remedy

[@russellnotestine6436]

Had a Mesa/Boogie MkIII built for me in 1986. Totally loved it and played it for 25 years. Sold it 5 or 6 years ago. Tubes are getting harder to find. It was heavy AF and I'm not getting younger. LOL I don't have one of these yet but thinking hard about it. No way would I pay another $100 for 50 more watts. Stage volume kills sound. Cheers!

[@keithmarkham8787]

Do it, You won't regret it!

[@naivedays5421]

@@donotfret what's the remedy

[@donotfret]

@@naivedays5421 the speaker has four terminals on the back. get the appropriate size conectors at a local auto parts store and some speaker wire . snip off the jack end off a guitar cable and splice the speaker wire to the guitar cord then plug into back of 4 ohm cabinet.

[@brandonboe2286]

No talking the best way to do a demo. Thanks.

[@stringbender57]

Excellent demo! A skilled guitarist with an in-tune guitar and no talking made this a very useful video showcasing the Katana's sounds. I am convinced, I am going to get one!

[@anarmadillowithagun]

the pedal bend effect in tandem with the octave is gnarly. that pretty much sealed the deal for me

[@Force-IX]

Mine arrived today and I'm very pleased. I've been using a Spider and it's just so much easier to dial in what I want with the Katana. Quality amp, I'd recommend to anyone on the fence.

[@mtrich8113]

My friend is getting one of these for my late birthday and I CANNOT!! wait till it arrives.

[@daveambing9625]

Youve got good friends!

[@Waltzyy]

Wait you guys got friends?

[@cosmicninja6924]

How do I get in on this circle of crazy generous friends?

[@6six6strings63]

This is the best Katana settings demo on KZbin by far. I would love to know if the Katana had the original speaker for this demo and if not, what the replacement speaker was. Thank you for this video. It has every sound I find not only usable but amazing.

[@telecaster888]

Hey, he said it's only recorded via Rec out (00:42)... and I love it even more !!

[@douglasalvaradocorrales]

Because of this I am buying my first Katana. Thank you indeed... Two thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻✨

[@rokkimason4199]

The Katana is really a badass combo. Im considering getting one.

[@timgermanyjr]

Now this is the video I needed. Learning some power chords last night and couldn't for the life of me get the right tone.

[@filtermat]

My favourite amp! Very versatile, lightweight and intuitive!

[@LowIqHighCrime]

Just bought this using this as a guide

Thank you so much for a great video. Just recently purchased this amp and there's so much tones to get out of it I couldn't figure out how. Your video made it perfectly clear to get the tones I am looking for. thanks again

They all sound good, I was hoping to hear a Fender tube clean setting

[@KC-cq5wz]

Picked up the Katana Artist, all I can say is WOW !!!! The Waza speaker, that only comes in the Artist, takes the Katana to a new level. If you can swing the change I highly recommend, had a Marshall DSL40...I think I'm going Japanese, I think I'm going Japanese I really think so...Katana what an amp

[@franciscopizarroi]

Hi, im between to the marshall dsl40 with a multieffect pedalboard or katana artists mk2. What of those two amps sounds better??

Great sounding amp for not a lot of money. Enjoyed the demo.👍

[@Ken351W]

Just the video I was looking for and very informative 😎

[@DasOmen02]

if "recorded via rec out" is true then holy man that di sounds pretty good for a 1/4" cable!

Oohhh I gotta get me one of these babies! I'm overly partial to my Vox VT20+ but this might just go neck and neck with her.

[@DRPowell]

Fast Sloth - I picked up the same amp for $40 at a pawn shop but haven’t played with it much. I was actually intending to gift it but might keep it for myself. I haven’t even downloaded a manual yet. Have you created your own sounds? How do you save or keep track of them?

[@xWILZTAx]

Sound really great, im interested.

[@kaichun6613]

At first i wondered what brown meant but it was metal all the way

[@JohnSKihm]

Brown in this case probably refers to the so-called “Brown Sound” made popular by classic rock guitarists, especially Eddie Van Halen! From my understanding, it’s characterized by being saturated yet still maintaining clarity. One of my favorite tones for sure!

[@SandCannon]

I'd say it's the orange amps style

I kind of had the same issue with the original 50. Maybe this new one will be better.

[@Torino2006]

Seriously.I had the Katana 100 complete with pedal board ,but after 3 months of playing there was something missing to the feel of it .Thought because it was solid state. i don't know what it was.Went back to tube amps but had to bail on them because of volume issues.Tubes sound good turned up ! Maybe will try one and see how good the the Boss tube logic power is.

[@mustyguitar]

@@Torino2006 i'm actually playing on laney cub12r these days. 1 watt is still too loud to drive insane big muff, but it takes me there. but katana 50 is with 0.5w, still does amazing job, though i just don't want to play with solid state amps much, i let my friend borrow it for a while.

[@theguyfromberlin]

Thanks a lot!

[@zaneluglan9096]

bit new to all those how’d you get the pedal level to go up and down at 4:28

[@SebCB]

Cool demo. I have the mk 1. Can you change the effects order in mk2 tone studio?

[@pascaldegryze]

Sebastian B You can configure 4 chains in Tone Studii, shifting the amp through the chain which has a fix order, so able putting fx before and after the amp

[@-EVASSIVE]

Hold the panel button until you see a flashing red light. Then you are in the other preset channels.

[@tobothehobo]

With the fs6 the A pedal is your channel select and B pedal is switching between bank 1 and bank 2. press pedal A you switch between channel 1 and 2 then press pedal B and you switch to channel 3 if your on channel 1 or channel 4 if your on channel 2 then pedal A will switch between channel 3 and 4.
