Boss Katana Live (Not) Fridays - Gary Moore Tone

[@sorenahlback]

I never use anything but the clean channel but this was a good tone. Gary Moore is a favorite with his sad feeling and wonderful technique. Great job as always! 👍👍

[@Back2TheBike]

Gentlemen, thank you from a Beginner/Intermediate and Katana novice. The way you lay out and explain the process in developing your tones is very helpful. More please.

[@howardwright6961]

Brilliant. Cheers lads. I've learnt so much from all your Katana tutorials and now look forward to each of the Friday specials.

[@jammergreg]

I have the first Katan 50 as my practice amp…love it and used it on some outdoor gigs.

[@AaronKaiMCDNLD]

outdoor gigs? can it compete with a full band + outdoor noise?

[@jammergreg]

@@AaronKaiMCDNLD smaller outdoor venues…100 ppl or less is my guestamit’.

[@iandawton6855]

This is excellent…..I’m learning soooo much about the Katana watching these ….how about try to get a Santana sound from it ?? 👍👍

[@karlfranz7434]

Excellent video! I love your Katana videos! They’re gold !

[@steviesedge]

Looking forward to this. GM is a legend.

[@homeguitarplayer9482]

Yes I got something out of that. The Boss Katana is a versatile bad assed amp that has great built in effects! That's why it's all I use!

[@rayfrench5865]

Just ordered a katana should have by Monday. Pretty darn stoked to get it.

[@hawkgeoff]

Would love to hear Gary's strat pack tone (red house)

[@colinsibthorpe6926]

Great video guys.. just what I was looking for thank you

[@SpelpartnershopNl]

Excellent, this really helps understanding my Katana and tone in general. I can't wait to try this out tomorrow morning (don't want to wake up the neighbors). Thanks!

[@sixslinger9951]

excellent video and very very close tone. thanks for all you guys do.

[@johntruman6571]

Excellent gentlemen. I've been trying to find this tone for some time now. Well done and thank you! How about a Lizzy esque Robbo / Gorham twin lead sound - Jailbreak era, with you both playing?

[@TheZiggerZagger]

Excellent chaps.... Thanks 👍

[@howardwright6961]

Fabulous. Like alot! How about Ritchie Blackmore Strat sound?

[@bonedale]

His red house tone from fender’s anniversary show I want. That was a mean single coil. I’ll make a run at it

[@PhreddCrintt]

Nice one guys. Thank you very much.

[@peterludlow9847]

Brilliant, think you did a great job loving it.

[@francoislouw181]

Actuallyit was a Les Paul into a Marshall Guvnor pedal into a reissue JTM 45 head. He used Soldano amp live for a while

[@dreamscuba]

James - you and I are alike!! I am a massive Gary Moore fan - from the rock era to the blues era...A great double act guys with some classic Finbar action.

[@johngreen6118]

Great video guys. I know James talks a lot about tone being in the fingers. I often presume tone is in my head. I know what I want to achieve before I start. I think this video demonstrates this well you know what you want to achieve pre starting. It’s also about knowing the fretboard well which is in your head. Also consider alternative tuning and playing in different positions to achieve a slightly different tone. Overall great work as ever

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

Perfectly dialed in.

[@wtcornet]

In the late 70's there were a lot instance in Gary career where it sounded like he took a ProCo Rat direct to the desk.

[@g.w.6899]

I always thought that Still Got the Blues was recorded using a JTM45 reissue not a Soldano. The drive came exclusively from a Guv’nor pedal.

[@johntruman6571]

G.W. I also thought that this was the case. However, these guys certainly achieved a great GM tone here.

[@TheDavidsudock]

We need a George lynch tone! Great job on this one :)

[@bielartur]

Paul, you are a genius!

[@mightymikeamps9317]

Hopefully this doesn’t sound like blasphemy; because I loved this song when it came out, but I’m not a fan of Neck Humbucker tone. Don’t get me wrong, this is about as tight and as good of a a neck humbucker tone out there, but the part of this song I like is when he hits that bend, holds it, and flips to the bridge pickup. That my friend, is about as perfect a Les Paul Lead tone there ever was.

[@guitarifuldexter6366]

Hi! Absolutely loved this video! Please can you do one of these on Slash? Thanks! 🤘🎸

[@Ray-Angel]

Y'all make it look so easy.

[@freezaxp]

[@paolorossi5854]

Excellent ... it's possible to do the same job with the sound of Peter Green and Santana?

[@Eric-bq1jo]

Can you do a Santana tone from the 80s before he started using a Dumble amplifier? During this time Santana used a Yamaha SG with a Mesa Boogie. I'm thinking of a Samba Pa Ti or Europa tone. Thanks!

[@clguitar04]

The eq was not showed could have a important roll in te final sound. Thanks for this really interesting videos

[@Happy-Me.]

I guess that I could put these settings into my GT-1000 and get really close!

[@davidolsen9425]

Hi there. Great tones. Have you done a tone set for the WAZA Airs? Thank you.

[@Islandsoundzz]

I’d like to hear a John Sykes tone.

Katana Live (Not) Fridays On My Mind

[@msailor9725]

Hi, before I buy a preset pack I'd like to know, which songs/patches this includes. I can't find any information about this. Please advise. Thanks

[@karlfranz7434]

I have one problem. I just setup the amp 100 % the same on my Katana. There is too much hissing going on. I have to turn the Noise suppressor all the way to 100 to cancel it out. How aren't you getting that loud hissing sound without NS?

[@markgrant1302]

When do you think we might get an Eddie Van Halen tone. A bunch of guys have done videos on it, but they don't really explain things well. Eddie used a variac to drop the voltage, the katana dies that easily enough but the actual device changes the tone. He used an echoplex but apart from the echo aspect it also gave it a boost almost like a treble boost does. The katana has a phase 90 effect but figuring out the settings is also bit tricky... it's one of the most iconic guitar sounds ever and in a world of katana videos, you do the best ones.

[@Pudoum]

I am wondering if this and blues rock presets are included in your katana patches?

[@colinmcnab6145]

How about the Beano tone that started everything off.

[@Johnny-oy9fh]

Rocktastic

[@mbreinin]

Pretty sure SGTB was a Bluesbreaker, EV-12Ls and a Guv'nor pedal.

[@BluesRockAcademy]

It was a JTM45 1989 reissue

[@KissEricCarr]

I'd love to hear a steve lukather-tone from the 80s/90s-era.

[@aljohno72]

Sounds great but please could you not use the mk2 variant option to give the mk1 owners a better chance ❤👍😎

[@lazmonti]

Sounds excellent, guys, well done! Could you next time show the "Chain" order on the Katana? Was the Modulation (compressor) before or after the drive channel? Thanks

[@TheStudioRats]

Hi Laszlo. Ahh Sure yes will do, sorry we missed that. I always put the comp before the amp.

[@brettking2800]

Wait a second. That is Lionel Ritchie.

[@ian2lorimer]

Great Moore tone. I've got a mk1 sitting gathering dust, is there a big difference with the Mk2 guys and is that the stock speaker ?

[@karlfranz7434]

There are substantial differences in certain areas but you should be able to produce a similar tone on MK1.

[@billlee8798]

Can you do some Lil Wayne tones?

[@TheStudioRats]

Lil Wayne’s beautiful tone is all in his fingers, I’ll try but it’s something special.

[@christopherelston6419]

Hi guys. Looking forward to your next video. Thanks for all the excellent content, I've found it really useful. Question for you...I have the Mk1 Katana 100 and a GA-FC. Do you know if there is any way to operate the 'solo switch' on the MK1 for the booster effects? I cannot seem to find anything online for this anywhere! Right now I am using a dodgy 'hack' whereby I have a patch cable joining the send/return on the back of the Katana and have the return boosted in Tone Studio to 125. I then use the 'loop' button the GA FC to get a volume boost for solos but this is clearly not the way to do things! Any ideas or suggestions on how best to do this, or is this a limitation on the older version of the Katana? Many thanks.

[@KeithMilner]

There is a hack using an expression pedal. You should be able to use BTS and select the ASGN section. Select one of the expression pedals and set the function to "BOOSTER(assign)". Then, underneath that, set the BOOSTER setting to "SOLO SW" and the MIN to "OFF" and the MAX to "ON" (or the other way around if you are perverse). This will use up an expression pedal just to turn on/off Solo setting, but, as you can have up to three connected with a GA-FC, this isn't too bad a compromise. You can use this to control almost any function on any effect.

[@christopherelston6419]

@@KeithMilner thanks for taking the time with your reply. I have seen KZbin videos (including Studio Rats) using a boss exp pedal in the way you describe into one of the GA-FC inputs. I wondered if anyone has experimented to see if this will work with a more simple latching or momentary switch? Really just for simplicity and maybe to save a bit of money as I probably won't make proper use of the expression pedal for volume or wah.

[@PHILIPJONES-rx8hs]

Yer, I tried it with a cheap plastic double switch peavey pedal, when 1st plugged in it would change the bank with 1 switch and the channel with the other so I went into tone studio and changed 1 to switch the reverb on/off and the other to switch the solo on/off. It worked fine!

[@tommyspratlin2302]

Great video. Paul seems a little irritated. What’s up?

[@TheStudioRats]

Tired from getting a dog.

[@traineecanuck]

Would love to see how you could get a clean(ish), glassy Marshall tone on the Katana. I haven't figured it out yet. Like the Hendrix clean tone. Katana cleans always seem to sound more rounded than bright.

[@jaromirmacha2402]

Could Andy Timmons sound be done?

[@heavymetal6910]

Gary during 82 -86 with the red strat is Gary Moore tone.

[@LordBransty]

His Red House tone is to die for.

[@torthur]

Yeah, yeah, sure.

[@llgms]

Has this channel turned into THE GUITAR RATS ?

[@mikevanleeuwen2858]

it'sawesome . Is the tone micd up through the katana speaker or straight to an interface? Is the master on full ? Thanks , Mike

[@jimconvry6852]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqCac6qYocatoLM at 1:07 you can see what he's using, as far has the what and how it's all mixed together who knows. Bluesbreaker, Showman or Bandmaster and Soldano. This is the closest to the album sound I've seen live, other vids with just a Soldano IMHO never came close to this. Perhaps someone out there knows how he ran that rig, info on the pedals is pretty easy to find: Marshall & Ibanez. You gents do a great job with your channel thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us !
