Boss Katana Gen 3 Head

[@stefjav7868]

Proper Viking. Look how his beard grew in just one day, it must feed off those solos

[@christophervincent8420]

😂

[@shanejb2121]

LOL! The power of the beard is strong with this one.

[@MarkCasey-ub8sp]

I thought the same thing. Must have stuck it back on methinks, yet cannot see the join.

[@Matthew_Scan]

Simpson is a name of Viking origin actually

[@squirelova1815]

I get more hair om my chest from just listening to Dave.

[@scotty_doom]

Great to see companies sending you gear out to demo (and keep!), absolutely deserved.

[@An_inquisitive_thinker]

Finally Boss showed you some appreciation for rocking and promoting their amps by letting you keeping their newest boombox. Rock on Davey boy! 🎸🤘

[@bmoneybby]

I know right.

[@allanroff202]

That is so awesome, Dave your playing is always on a new level

[@secretdaisy6484]

Mine came yesterday, purchased based on your demo. Don’t ever think that your viewers don’t trust you. We do. I’m looking forward to hearing that gorgeous new Guild through this amp 🎸🎵. I don’t play very well but I have you as my only living role model. I’m mostly interested in playing the blues but I listen to a lot of rock. It’s all good. Without music 🎼 the universe would be chaos. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵💖

[@tengiz911]

20:05 omg what a beautiful melody

[@mike70s]

Really powerful and soul wrenching Dave. My world is better for you playing guitar in it . Heal,rest, destroy,create, put you're sails down brother and ride the storm, it will be bright again. It sounds like you're partner,music partner had to fly her own spirit for a while, you both got to where you needed to be, take care. Much love and support from Mordialloc, Australia

[@sammyflinn5706]

That intro is pure phenomenal .Am so happy and blowing away .That has really moved me am tearing up man .the feeling in the music I don't have words for that would justify that song .thankyou so much dave

[@copperhead573]

As a true amateur I really appreciate your level of playing the guitar. Just love watching and listening to you make the guitar work to your will and music in your head and heart. Boss needs to reward your passion and enthusiasm for the line and new products. I have the Gen 3 Artist on pre-order. Hope to get it in early August. You make me want to play better to be worthy of a tone magic machine. Thanks for your inspiration. Bless you and Queenie. Know that you make a difference in this world.

[@GearSafari]

Dave…holy hell 🔥 mate that sounds awesome pal. Great playing. 👍🏻🎸

[@onecarefulowner9433]

That into was beyond brilliant. You never miss the mark.

[@billbob4856]

Dude, you make great videos. Awesome content. I’ve just got one piece of advice. I had hair as long as yours 4 years ago and my hair started thinning badddd. Just shave it off and keep the beard. It’s a week of looking at yourself in horror in the mirror, then you get used to it. You can maintain it with a Skullshaver or just a regular razor blade w/ shaving cream + aftershave. One of the best decisions I’ve made. Before shaving people used to guess my age was 2-3 years older than I was, now they guess 3-4 years younger. It also looks badass, just in a different way than the long hair.

[@thedavesimpson]

Thanks for watching but i’m not going to do that. Maybe one of the best decisions you’ve made for yourself, but i’m not you and your not me.

[@billbob4856]

@@thedavesimpson Fair enough. Either way I’m still subscribed and will keep watching 👍

[@thesvtguy]

I’m a tube guy and I’m broke but I still find myself watching all of these videos. Dave, you’re awesome.

[@castleanthrax1833]

Why would being a tube guy or being broke have to do with whether you watch Dave or not? If people only watched these KZbin "demos" with the intention of buying something, could you imagine how few views they'd get?

[@thesvtguy]

True

[@MrMarcburger]

well, Im watching because Im considering to buy one​@@castleanthrax1833

[@thekitowl]

Superb demonstration Dave. Didn’t leave a comment for your last video, couldn’t put into words what I wanted to say. Rock on Friend.

[@USAJ31]

flawless shit you're doing on those top strings!

[@jjcollins]

Absolutely beautiful demo! I'm so glad to hear that Boss sent you that amp to keep. They need to send you a lot more for all the demos that you have done over the years. With all the people who comment and like what you do, I can say that I've been watching for a long time. I looked back and its been over 9 years. I found your channel when you were doing the Peter Green and Rory stuff, as well as the cr120 tones videos. Maybe even earlier, but that is definitely around the time. You are an amazing talent and person. I don't know exactly what is going on, but I can tell you are in pain. I know because I've been there myself, many , many times unfortunately. You know music can be a true healer, and of course that and time is what it takes. For all the people that you have touched here on youtube, you have a huge following of people that love what you do. Try and keep your head up, even though I know it may be difficult. Take care of yourself my friend.

[@LucasHormann]

That's some free Boss masterclass. Love you Dave

[@rickyashmore]

daves intro jams change lives

[@MrDaleAsmith]

That was ridiculous wasn’t it. Glad it’s not just me 😂

[@rickyashmore]

@@MrDaleAsmith his “The mighty BOSS DS2” intro jam is even better

[@strumminronin]

@rickyashmore THAT, that needs to be on t-shirts.

[@USAJ31]

damn! those runs up and down the neck! great playing. spot on today for sure man!

[@MrDaleAsmith]

I’ll just jam stuff out for the first 7 minutes then we’ll get into the video. Proceeds to lay down one of the greatest power blue solos ever recorded. Yeah that’ll do. 😳 Love ya man ✌️

[@jefftucker201]

Epic intro Jam Dave, sounded like pain and bliss all at once. Hope you are doing a bit better now mate, wishing you all the best.

[@Dave-nm3xc]

This guy could make anything sound good. Great player!

[@James-ec4eb]

As always awesome much love from the USA praying for your mental health much happiness to you my friend!

[@shanejb2121]

Anyone doubting the Katana's abilities needs to come here and see a master make it snarl and sing. Fantastic as always Dave. Never dissapoint.

[@glenroberts5064]

As usual awesome been following you for a long time and you never cease to amaze me and yes guitar can take you to special place pity I’m in Australia or I would come to all your gigs

[@lucbos7516]

Killer tone Dave !

[@trigliderider]

Rock on ! Appreciate your music and videos.

[@USAJ31]

man, i love watching you play guitar.

[@joyfulservantsofChrist]

Dave, I found your channel when searching for this Boss Gen 3. Your music is insanely good. Subscribed. Thank you for this great review. I just ordered.

[@cdalreverbnationartist3030]

Thank Dave. Your review jams hold so much feeling. Guitars hold so much more power for soothing mental health problems than anything else They do for me. Still have my Mk1 100w head. No intention of changing. .

[@N0SAjREkLaw]

Firstly your appreciated and inspire mate, love from all us dudes and dudettes of the tubeland ✌ awesome amp and amazing playing🤘

[@michaelolz]

Dave, it’s time you released a guitar course. We’d all benefit from it. Keep rocking, brother!

[@WesleyWattley-xy4fg]

Loads of dave Simpson blues lessons on KZbin simple beginners to advanced 👌 unique 🇬🇧!!❤

[@BigJK50]

Outstanding intro!

[@yrdjuret]

Your focus might be slipping at times but your playing is still phenomenal. Several parts were really way up at the top to my ears. Thanks Boss for helping Dave play like that

[@KenithCopeland]

in the immortal words of our guitar lord dave simpson. GOOD GRAVY!!!!!! that intro was immense

[@JanLawicki]

Great playing as always, great you’re inspired by katanas still. I’ve sent my 100W gen 3 back as it didn’t do much more than my mk1 does. Gen 3 doesn’t support Sneaky amps which I found very inspiring. Thank you Dave for what you’re doing!!!

[@tomcampbell9960]

Mad skills Dave! You make it look so easy!

[@richardbrown9069]

Listening to Dave chat is like chatting to that one really great mate who just knows so much more about guitar and gear than anyone else. Love listening to his methods and ways 😁

[@nicholasguitars5527]

[@marioromano7563]

Absolutely smashing it, Dave.. Just love it when you're in the flow. 🎸 🎶 🎵

[@bobstewartfolk]

Plenty Dave this week 👍👍👍 good stuff.

[@bobg5110]

That was some fine rock opera. Looking forward to an hour long epic from you in the vain of Dopesmoker by Sleep.

[@Mrtn-gi6mp]

Dave , I turn this video on and I got distracted and I just listen, this video is amazing + another masterpiece!!! I will be watching this again soon , without distractions of course .. I agree Boss Katana’s are thee greatest amps especially with what you get for the bang for the buck with all them options,my god!!! It doesn’t matter if it’s 50w,100w’s they still Rule!!!

[@brandtdales]

Your an Amazing Person Dave

[@NMS_Officer]

Dave you are a wizard, you make any crap sound good !

[@christophervincent8420]

Proper playing right there Dave

[@kobe.mp3]

What an intro! I hope to see you play live one day Dave

[@oldmanzen6682]

I've got 4 Katana amps, and love them all. It's my go-to recommendation for most folks. Great playing, as per usual, Dave.

[@stevehughes_5733]

Dave, your playing just gets better... such an inspiration to me, mate! Cheers

[@jonofrye2394]

Greetings from Australia. Love the video, great work as usual Dave, thanks. Take it easy mate!

[@luisvolpon1598]

No need to apologize Davie. You do a lot for us. Your playing is always amazing. You are very spontaneous, which invites us to watch your videos many times. Take care and keep playing. 🎸🎸🎸

[@gifgit]

Wow ! At the 1 minute mark Dave Simpson morphed into Dave Murray. Excellent playing good sir.

[@Jim_on9s]

That piece of music at the beginning was f@#!ing brilliant.

[@fastacesus8499]

I have a Gen 3 having previously owned and sold v1 & v2. It's defo a step up. They have revoiced it somehow. It has more push, more dynamics. I am well pleased it. That said you can probably dive into Tone Studio and with time and effort with v1 & v2 get similar results. But out the box Gen 3 is the first one that I don't have to fiddle with too much. I got three patches. Clean Edge, Crunch and Acoustic sorted in about 30 minutes. Whereas with v1 & 2 I was always fiddling about trying to fix the errant bad frequencies.

[@zakklee2556]

sold the Artist mkii , ordered the gen 3 head. got no where with the mkii.

[@strumminronin]

Thanks Dave. I love these intro jams of yours. They should be on CDs! My amp needs are met but heck, you make me want to get one of these Boss Katanas! ❤️‍🔥🕊️🤘

[@10brucelees]

Great stuff Dave. Looked a lot of fun to play and sounded fab

[@Smermen83]

Dave you are awesome. I love your jams and all of your reviews. You are the one i goto for reviews. I'm over 60 and have listened to a lot of music and specifically guitar. I was just thinking that I listen to you more than all the guitar heros out there be it hendrix, Stevie, Frusciante Gilmore whoever. You are the best.

[@dogheadmusic]

“I want to stay here. This place feels safe to me.” Thanks for bringing us with you. This is one of the many reasons why we all love the music that you make.

[@mattyrichardson7239]

Beautiful playing. Wreaks of The Feels. This too shall pass.

[@DrDrake_Ramore]

I love your enthusiasm and love for Katana’s. It annoys me when people belittle them, I’m like mate, you’re WRONG. Sounds epic mate ✌️❤

[@mikestroud9969]

Super Dave just wanted to comment now. That Gibson with p90s sounded great man loved it take care your amazing brother 😎👍👏👏🎸💯

[@robbah9939]

Nobody inspires me more than you and your feel playing! Thank you very much ❤️

[@GaryCurry1981]

Yo yo yo , This is the one I've been waiting for !! Because you know 3 is my lucky # ...

[@jimlutz1290]

Love it all, sounds dominant and solid. Tone is balanced, just perfect. You must descend from the aristocracy of past Virtuoso musicians. Their incalculable wealth of talent has most certainly passed down the family timeline, maybe passed over some searching for the worthy and the talented, now embedded within your “fire spirit”. You are a force of tone, both sweet and soaring as we tag along far behind as you engage in adventures of wire and wood. - You contribute to the soundtracks of our lives, it’s a rather rare find for anyone to be acknowledged as uniquely qualified to bring us your muse . . .Remember you are Loved in the Universe of Fire & Ice.

[@BedeLaplume]

​ I agree with you that it's a lot more intuitive to mess around directly with the knobs and that the setting up using software can get quite nerdy., However, some folks have made cool patches that make the process of hooking it on the software worthwhile..

[@oldmanrocker227]

damn dude you are one hell of a guitarist.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@Novotny72]

Some great sounds there and wonderful playing.

[@jaysonrelox7557]

Awesome bro!Great Video/Great Playing/Great Amp!Keep it up. GOD bless

[@deeberdave8190]

Another great video Dave thanks! If you think your playing is off and not focused, I would like to sound half that good fully focused! Katana's are one of my favorites also, I have two and am looking at getting a gen 3 head to replace my mk II ! Thanks again!

[@yrkke_produkcija]

43:15 some great Rush tones, also my favorite chord right there 😎

[@robertcarey3383]

Damn that Vintage with the p90's sounded SOOOOO Good.

[@DavidFernley]

Holy shit you aged over night what is going on the playing as always is amazing the sound is mind blowing

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

Good 👍🏻 to see you playing katana again dude . Im hearing the difference in the dynamics with the Bloom on. Its suttle but see your point ☝🏻 love the demo . Keep having fun playing 🎸 it keeps any bad juju from bothering you. Be blessed 🙏🏻 brother 😎👊🏻💯

[@johndesrosier1672]

I'm getting Testament Return To Serenity vibes with this jam. Great playing!

[@JDStone20]

All the best Dave, sorry you are having a hard time, it seems like everyone is having issues right now, so you're not alone if that makes you feel better. Take it one day at a time my man! Great video btw, you inspire me to play!

[@astewart9410]

Just ordered Gen 3 100w head.

[@JohnShalamskas]

After acquiring an HX Stomp XL, I went looking for a good FRFR powered speaker. I auditioned a few variants of the Katana and found them all to be boxy sounding. I ended up with a PowerCab 112 Plus and am very happy with it. The Boss Katana is a great all-in-one solution, especially for lead tones, but if you play much clean, there are better solutions. Now I am tempted to get a used Powercab 112 for stereo. At home I usually hook the Stomp XL to my stereo computer speakers, which are large audiophile speakers, a 12 inch subwoofer, and a Yamaha home theater amp, so I'd only use the powercab(s) for mobile applications.

[@zakklee2556]

Yeah , get the 2nd powercab+. I have a pair hooked up to the Helix LT and a JTV 69 Variax Guitar. Just got the Katana gen 3 head ordered. Sold the Artist mkii.

[@JohnShalamskas]

@@zakklee2556 Most people do not understand that the speakers have to be great for the whole system to have a chance at sounding great.

[@joshtolliver5581]

Great player and very cool ideas

[@steviox]

25:52 just beautiful. please take time for yourself , you need a break. Thanks for your fine work as ever.

[@aminahmed2220]

[@christophep.5278]

Superbe intro, c'est ce qui me donne envie de jouer de la guitare.

[@andrewbecker3700]

Everytime I watch Dave demo a Katana of some sort. I remember I've yet to hear one of my mkii 212's through my new Harley Benton G212plus Creamback loaded cab. I know once I put one on top of the HB212, I'm gonna wanna start messing with different speaker wiring options. Make both cabs function together. With the MT15 sitting on top, it'll be plenty loud, one way or the other! Some fat strat tones going on bigtime!

[@MikeHansen1970]

This sounds great!

[@paulbowers3106]

Great tones - want one 😍

[@ReeseChown]

Hiwatt Leeds series soon young man? Love those amps, fantastic for the price

Hopefully.

[@Margarinethebutterlover]

Great playing as always Dave. Music is so therapeutic, I could hear your pain in your playing. Wishing you all the best. I would love to hear what you think of the new Laney Lionheart Foundry amps that seem to be a Katana competitor.
