Another QOTSA video. Never gets old. Keep them coming!

[@PooNinja]

9:31 I can almost smell the desert air and dust rattling on the speaker cone 🤘🏽

[@jv2781]

Im a simple man, I see LRGD post a Queens video and I smash the like button

[@ferminblum]

Awesome, please make QOTSA Tones for the last 2 records!

[@wibblegorm]

YES!

[@LivingroomGearDemos]

I'll probably cave in and do that soon. I just find those albums so chaotic guitar wise, but it might be a fun thing to dive into.

[@ferminblum]

@@LivingroomGearDemos yeah, E, C and D tunings. But a lot cleaner anda reverb-ish with subtle octave up I think they are the most significant things!

[@ClaudioMartella]

really nailed it, i thought it was not possible with a Katana. Good you learnt to use less gain from past tries! :)

[@LivingroomGearDemos]

Thanks!

[@slayerus23]

So the short answer is no. Nothing wrong with that, Boss Katana is still a very affordable quality amp, specially for practice. Honestly would love to see some content about QOTSA use of delays and modulation since Era Vulgaris, there is a lot to explore there.

[@davidebonfante5511]

Mitico. I've learned a lot, not just in finding Homme's tune but in using the Katana and the EQ. Thank's man

[@MxBrad72]

Pretty Keen to see QOTSA - You Think I Aint Worth A Dollar But I Feel Like A Millionaire intro then drive sound

[@matthewfinnigan3862]

Nailed it. Awesome job. I really need this amp.

[@LivingroomGearDemos]

Thanks Matt!

[@Kamil92Zgon]

Let`s continue series Qotsa on Katana with delays, reverbs and other albums plz!

[@BockwinkleB]

Been waiting for this one...

[@natethompson1257]

Always a fan of your QOTSA tone videos. Nicely done man! Cheers from California!

[@darwinsaye]

Surprised at all the "Nailed it!' comments. No criticism toward your attempts, but that Katana sounds as close to an Ampeg as a Fender Frontman 10 does. It's got that 6" speaker practice amp tone.

[@cinemavennus]

Wait a minute... A fender frontman10G?! How?!

[@Bobby_Digital37]

Awesome!!! Boss needs to figure out a better was to market these Katana features while also making them more easy to share and transfer into your Katana maybe via Bluetooth instead of having to connect a cable to your computer… that’s the main reason I got rid of mine, I hated having to physically connect it to my computer to tweak sounds ☹️

[@codymcgrew4015]

Funny, I thought the Crunch OD got much closer. The Overdrive had too much of that brittle high mids thing going on. I would have added some gain to the Crunch OD pedal, instead of the amp, because the amp gain just made it sound flubby.

[@fezerr2075]

When I try to get qotsa tones on my katana I always use the crunch channel, mind you I don't use pedals but the standard variation of the crunch channel can do a sort of fuzzy overdrive that might not be too close in reality but sounds pretty good.

[@sarahtonin3743]

Hey, I really love your videos, and it's not a guarantee you'll see this, but on the off chance that you do, for the love of god what song is that you're playing from 9:24 to 9:46? I've heard the entire qotsa discography, i've heard them crooked vultures, i've heard kyuss, i've heard it all (besides eagles of death metal), but for the life of me i just CANNOT remember what song that is, i swear i've heard it before, i know i have, i just cant remember which song it is edit: i literally just remembered it's do it again after posting this comment, lmfao

[@Rik-theking]

- Do it again - Songs for the Deaf

[@100011101011]

I don't know too much about pedals but i feel like it needed more... saturation? But without more gain? idk maybe push the 250db more. Also, does the EQ have its own independent volume control? If it does, pushing that might help. It's what I did for my "Chemistry" tone kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3aVpI2Za6iChpI (but again, nowhere near perfect)

[@VanPerszing]

Thank you for a link to these awesome guitars 😍 Now I have a serious problem which one to buy

[@mthscstlh]

9:20 Desert's ghost passing by 👻

[@LivingroomGearDemos]

booooo

[@frankcrack777]

Juhuuuuuu 🙂 got it, saw it! Very cool!

[@TristanDesnos]

This man could get queens tones out of a pencil sharpener 🙌🏻

[@Leukos666]

Thanks!!!!

[@DelScully]

would love to hear if the Fender GTX50 can do it as well.

[@Lauri_K]

I'm a bit late to this video, but if gain is a problem, some light compressor would ease the playing without destroying the dynamics like a normal/heavy compressor

[@matheusbarud]

please! try another bands with the katana, so we can see the range of tones we can get with an affordable amp like that

[@LivingroomGearDemos]

this is my third video with the Katana

[@matheusbarud]

@@LivingroomGearDemos sorry, i missed the other two.. nailed it as usual!

[@LivingroomGearDemos]

thanks man!

[@LAZERBEAMBAND]

I thought you got some really great Qotsa tones in there out of the katana, really impressed with it!!!

[@andrecabral3423]

Instant like ❤️❤️

[@alexcomeau4919]

Can you do kyuss tones on the katana? Preferably "welcome to sky valley" tones please!

[@LivingroomGearDemos]

I don't have the Katana anymore, unfortunately.

[@joeshow1985]

Can you upload your Boss Tone Studio patch for this?

[@douglasvaughn9349]

Great video

[@ayden_woodhouse6269]

I get my grungy / qotsa tone by using the acoustic setting and yellow channel on my katana. Max EQ

[@jwiegand1022]

So I have the katana artist mk1... I paused video in sections and copied all the settings. My amp actually just goes clean when the gain and drive are at levels you show. Why?

[@Isaacgrant92]

Will you do a video where you incorporate a q zone type pedal for the extra nasaly/cocked tones? thinking headache, how to handle a rope etc

[@LivingroomGearDemos]

I think I did at some point

[@matthewfinnigan3862]

Would be awesome if they made a katana pedal. Would make an awesome travel rig.

[@LivingroomGearDemos]

true, would probably kill off many of Boss' pedals though.

[@Brendan_Lowe]

They do! look at the boss ME pedals

[@Brendan_Lowe]

​@LivingroomGearDemos they do man, boss ME pedals

[@WILDFIRE096]

Great sound! I have a Katana MKII and I'm a bit confused when it comes to using it with my computer, do you mic the amp when recording? Or can you record straight into the interface without using the amp as a monitor? Thanks!

[@LivingroomGearDemos]

I'm running straight from the amp to my audio interface. Monitoring through the amp, yes.

[@onlyshallot]

THANKYOU!

[@christopherruiz6467]

Can you please post thus patch for download?

[@AllofJudea]

It just occurred to me that Boss should just use the names of the pedals they're emulating, at least when it's an actual Boss pedal. It's bizarre that they don't.

[@paulsmusic861]

Do you have it as a download?

[@blackwhales]

I'd love this, as well!

[@bribanco9024]

it the turbo od dude.

[@CanalGROSSEIRO]

Excellent vídeo! Can you help me with marshall code QOTSA tone?

[@LivingroomGearDemos]

I don't have one unfortunately.

[@Kan_xe]

hi, I'm playing it on an hss strat and it sounds completely different, too much clean. what am i missing?

[@cinemavennus]

Can the ZOOM G1Xfour do the Ampeg Tone???

[@aldovanoni8601]

Share the patch plz??

[@NightProductionsDK]

What's the song names? I'm pretty new to qotsa

[@meexiko]

I think I lost my headache, last track on "Rated R"

[@lewiswilliams1584]

Wait,ampeg make guitar amps?

[@LivingroomGearDemos]

yes, or they did before at least!

[@yobanyhernandez125]

What guitar is that ?

[@honkyheath]

Eastwood GP Ultra

[@garethbyrd5860]

Huh???...Another sound like QOTSA? I mean, it's only four videos since the last one. If it isn't QOTSA/Jack White/Tame Impala derived what's left?

[@elderchildren]

it sounds about as close as any 'amp sim' could. add some nice impulse responses and its not bad. but undeniably missing quite a bit. good attempt!

[@wedontknowtruth9718]

Put a mic in front of the katana and surprisingly it sounds better than my black star amp and very usable guitar tone
