Sounds great Rich! That katana really holds its own. Been thinking about trying one but I have a catalyst so seems redundant. That sucks about the monoprice. Always murphys law with that stuff. I’ll have to try my MP live at some point… with a backup! 😁

[@jimmyfrombrooklyn8550]

Thoroughly enjoy your content Rich, very honest depiction of the life of a gigging musician. I can relate. I’m a tube amp guy, so I’ve experienced those moments, but the mono price is cheap enough to carry a spare lol. Good luck on whatever it is that you’re developing, you seem like such a hardworking guy who deserves success!

[@RichBischoff]

Thanks man!

[@miketuttle9319]

Enjoy watching the driving part through that part of the country and seeing the landscape, a far cry from the flatlands of central FL. Merry Christmas.

[@jeffcomeau4680]

10:52… still here! I appreciate the vids, especially the gig prep and setup/working man guitar player approach to the videos. Bringing different amps and letting people know how they work in a live gigging real world context. Keep em coming

[@papablue3015]

Very nice! I really enjoyed live! Thanks 🤘 happy holidays!

[@danstringer7610]

Thanks!

[@jeffflint9086]

Nice to see one of the few KZbinrs that actually gigs again. Merry Christmas and I hope 2024 is good for you.

[@RichBischoff]

Merry Christmas Jeff!

[@Mr.Monster1313]

Ive been playing a small tube amp since the 90s..a fender pro junior..basic and gets loud and sounds awesome..all i need. 2 knobs lol

[@eaglewindrider7700]

Always enjoy your live playing👍🔥🎸🦅

[@AnthonySG0113]

Good to see you’re still gigging! I’m still playing out in my acoustic group.., still getting pointers when you post gig vlogs. Have a great one!

[@evamalmberg]

I will keep watching. Merry Christmas from Sweden 🎅🌲🇸🇪

[@CoffeeConversationMusicGear]

Hi Rich, it may have been the power at the venue..., Tube amps can be picky if its not getting clean power or enough voltage. If the monoprice 15 watt amp is working at home, you may have more up-to-date wiring that is spec to code in your home then that club you played at. Old wiring and local pub spots can cause all kind of funky stuff with tube amps. Its always good to have that backup amp which you did. and the Katana is fantastic! Solid State amps technology is so much better nowadays then yesteryear. Love your channel and your vlogs of the shows Rich. Keep Rocking on!🤘🎸

[@eschatts1]

Your voice is perfect for she talks to angels . When we pick songs we always think about our voices

[@RichBischoff]

It's one of my favorite songs to sing.

[@MarkJohnsonJams]

Hell yeah Rich. Love your gig vlogs. Merry Christmas!

[@RichBischoff]

Thanks brother!

[@pablotope3070]

Best of holidays Rich- keep rolling on the music amigo and a happy upcoming 2024!!

[@RichBischoff]

Thanks, you too!

[@MesaGuitarGuy]

yay Katana! I'm keeping mine as a backup too

[@LifetimeBiker]

Merry Christmas Rich , Thanks for keeping us entertained throughout the year.🙏🎅🎄🥳 Safe holidays 😊

[@RichBischoff]

Thanks, Merry Christmas!

[@johnosborne3187]

Man, you make that amp sound great. It is so clear and meaty. Happy new year!

[@RichBischoff]

Happy new year!

[@valkimber3706]

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Rich! I hope y'all have a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

[@RichBischoff]

Same to you!

[@jimmyz2098]

Another really cool vid, Rich - as always. Man I love the gig vlogs - and especially when you roll into Lava. One of the coolest little places out West, I think. Thew Wife and I love it there! You guys sounded good - and yeah. Hard to beat a Boss Katana. Great combination of portability, excellent sound, and reliability. It's all in that box. Rock on Bro - and Merry Christmas to you & Family!

[@RichBischoff]

Thanks dude Merry Christmas!

[@davidbradley8295]

I hope you and your family have a great holiday season Rich.

[@RichBischoff]

Same to you!

[@mkrj2576]

Cool. Kats work. I’ve used my little Kat 50 and my Kat Artist at gigs. Since I bring the PA too I though about the Kat head with a line out to the PA and selling off the combos (and picking up a cab for non-pa use). Or even doing a UA Dream with my small board to the PA. Nice job with the Cars cover.

[@nickblindlemon3383]

Have a great Xmas Rich… keep up the gigs vlogs 😀 great to see you have the same challenges in terms of mixing the band, setting your own gear up etc

[@RichBischoff]

Thanks, you too!

[@johowohoj]

I enjoy your KZbin postings and have found several that informed me about a purchase I had been contemplating…I’ve always been a tube amp guy but they are so loud when looking for that overdriven kinda sound… I tried the katana and while they do sound pretty good, I just found myself with endless tweaking… recently bought a tone master deluxe reverb and I think I’ll sell the katana now… the deluxe is only 23 lbs and the attenuator built into the deluxe as well as the DI output makes it so easy to get where I need to be for whatever gig I’m playing… I look forward to seeing what you have in development for your KZbin channel…Cheers and happy new year!!!

[@AntonioCavicchioni]

Loved Folsom Prison Blues version!

[@edatkinson322]

I’m with you I like knobs too. That’s why I bought my Fender Deluxe Tonemaster

[@davidmurphy4844]

Watched to the end. Love your gig vlogs! Katanas are great, I have an old 100 and a new 50 ex. Season's greetings from Skelmersdale Lancashire England. Looking forward to hearing your news when its announced.

[@RichBischoff]

Thanks!

[@johnearley3541]

Merry Christmas from Yorkshire UK. I also like the loading / unloading and setting up bits, and especially the scenery as you head to and fro 😊 I’m yet another (ageing) Katana 50 player - holds its own against a drummer, keyboards and horn section, although mic-ed up for sound balance. Looking forward to the news and the next vids.

[@RichBischoff]

Thanks John, Merry Christmas!

[@antoonhermans8953]

Tube amps are a hassle sometimes ( even the expensive handbuild ones ) , i have my fender tm dr for more then 4 years now , its the same as the katana , you turn it on and it works and sounds great .

[@danstringer7610]

Looking forward to your big reveal! The gig sounded great as usual. I tried to dump my Katana a few months ago in favor of EVH iconic combo….don’t know what I was thinking…got my Katana back…most recently tried a Boss Nextone special. It looked nice but I prefer my Katana 100 mk2. Merry Christmas Rich! Enjoy time with your family and let’s all pray for a happy 2024!

[@RichBischoff]

Thanks Dan!

[@racegascustoms]

I love these long gig vlogs. I actually regularly gig with a katana 50 and a richie kotzen telecaster because of your videos. Keep it up.

[@RichBischoff]

Nice, love the RK Tele!

[@cubistone]

Many makers have come to the conclusion that most people play guitar at home. Not many will go on world tours. Some play while watching the news, making dinner etc...etc...

[@stratjed]

Hey man, said it before, the video of you schlepping the load is what separates you from the herd. Hands down the most detailed "what it really is" gig vlogs on KZbin. If it wasn't for having to watch you in hot tubs you would be cool. 🤣 Thanks for keeping it real. Merry Christmas.

[@williamapolinar1018]

The " toast" sounds good clean! Toasted on the dirty sounds. Peace.

[@mitchhill1552]

When I grow up I wanna be you! Sounds great! Maybe a rhythm guitarist in there might fill in a gap or two! Ha!! Good job my friend!!

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

Amp Toast. Maybe because it’s the size of a toaster? Merry Christmas, Rich 🎄

[@bluessumlin...7067]

Epic sounds! Really cool that you have some great news about your playing and channel fully deserved in my opinion!… Not sure about that Sonicake toast amp it sounds ok on some settings but poor on others!🙂

[@paulbruns2473]

I really appreciate the live experience you show. The packing, the driving, the setup, the problems, etc. Nice to hear what these things sound like in a band context. Wish more channels did this. My one suggestion would be to give a little detail on the pedalboard. An inexperienced player might pick up a Katana and wonder why they can’t get it to sound like yours does, not knowing how much of the tone comes from your pedals. Great video. Thanks.

[@RichBischoff]

Right, especially since I just use Katana as a clean pedal platform. Thanks.

[@paulbruns2473]

As do I! That’s how I know. 😂. Thanks for taking constructive suggestions well. Not always easy on the internet. Cheers!

[@AslanRising]

The power light on the amp, in the scene after you tested it, started flickering as you were talking about it working.

[@RichBischoff]

Yup. I've emailed monprice already.

[@AslanRising]

You have to do a video, teaching how you play Folsom Prison...

[@garrettmundy4914]

Hi Rich. Really dig your content and gig vlogs. Do you have any lag or phase issues with the Katana / Monoprice pairing? I have the same Katana and would like to get a small tube amp to run a similar rig, but heard there can be issues getting them to gel. You seem to make it work though. Merry Xmas from Perth, Australia.

[@RichBischoff]

No lag issues. They sound pretty good together.

[@glennw3909]

Rich, you got a custom line of guitars coming out…right??? Right??? Excited to hear whatever is coming!

[@RichBischoff]

Haha! No, but that'd be cool.

[@sfstoltenberg]

I'm here for the gig vlogs! TBH, I skip the reviews. Rock on!

[@greenwave792]

Man, it’s hard holding down a three PCs. And sing. Dang bro?

[@bishdizzle67]

Amp TOAST😂

[@edatkinson322]

So what other little practice amps do you like? Are they inexpensive?

[@RichBischoff]

2 nux a Spark and a blackstar. No, not expensive.

[@edatkinson322]

@@RichBischoff I picked up a used Roland Micro Cube on reverb should be delivered today; we’ll see. $120 shipped

[@charlies284]

Rich do u use a humidifier in that room this time of year with all of your guitars out?

[@RichBischoff]

No, I've been looking into it. Any suggestions?

[@charlies284]

wow and no problems with frets or necks? I’ve tried a few . Get a steam humidifier. Little more expensive, but for a music room it’s the way to go. I am using a Boneco steam humidifier . Swiss company. Really good few different sizes.

[@charlies284]

Will probably cost depending on size $130-$250

[@RichBischoff]

I haven't had problems, but the studio is upstairs, and most the moisture in the house end up rising up to there, so I think that helps.

[@Hendrllx]

And from 37:20 and on you can see the Monoprice come in and out again.

[@RichBischoff]

Yup

[@1969Donovan]

I didn't leave.

[@RichBischoff]

Thanks!

are you micing the katana?

No
