I only hope the "pushed brown" joke doesn't go unnoticed/unappreciated

[@someguywithaphone5921]

I mean, if you push it, it's probably going to be brown. There's brown, and then there's PUSHED brown. ...aahhh, push it... ...push it real good...

[@deckert618]

I chuckled

[@Witchkicker]

It’s the opposite of unforced brown. One can be sculpted, the other has a more fluid vibe…

[@Psypher169]

Ola, you should use your $500 guitars when testing distortions or Amps. Of course equipment will sound amazing when you use your expensive guitars

[@djentleman2584]

That sounds absolutely amazing, also I'm glad the surgery went well, back surgery is very risky, but back pain and sciatica is no joke, I hope no one ever has to go through this

[@bertr9804]

Great to see you back and chugging away Ola!! Very glad to see your surgery went well and you seem to be doing fine! Really enjoyed the Boss Katana generation 3 amp video! I'm a fan of the amps and you as well! Wishing you all the best!

[@Fl4ppers]

Sounds brutal. Love the demos of this. Also that guitar looks well nice with the pink!

[@TheDuckyCraft]

This is the exact video I want. YOU PREDICTED MY REAQUEST THANKS OLA YOU’RE THE BEST!

[@EYOUTz1993]

Got an Artist MkII head recently and it's far and away the best guitar purchase I've ever made that isn't an actual guitar. It's wild how much I can do, I have a setting for Nile and a setting for Van Halen and a setting for cleans a la Ozzy No More Tears album. I still have barely scratched the surface of the capabilities of it, I absolutely love it. Oh and if you like chorus, the DC-30 option is insanely fun.

[@DeadSensei8269]

Same man! I just got my artist mk2 a few weeks ago and by far the best purchase I ever made I literally cannot sleep at night because of how excited I am to wake up and play it the tones I get from it are ear candy

[@gsupersport6383]

Dans quelques mois tu le revendras.

[@fraterlemuele.s.l.d.6435]

So do you own a tubed amp?I’ve been thinking about getting this but I’m iffy about it (Don’t want to overspend) it’s sounds amazingly good!

[@EYOUTz1993]

@@fraterlemuele.s.l.d.6435 yeah I have a 6505 1x12 combo that I re-worked into just being a head. I just haven't touched it since I got the Katana cuz it does everything I need and more, at controllable volume while still sounding great, and plays through studio headphones too if I need it to.

[@StaySic4Ever]

I tried it and got DT25 over it heh.

[@cliffordpurk18]

I miss this series! Happy you're back, Brother! Glad you're doing well.

I'm so happy to see this. I was just looking through your videos 3 days ago because I was about to order this. I ended up placing the order, and it'll be here tomorrow. I'm so glad I did. It sounds awesome.

[@vipergaming5387]

You paid how much for it?

[@johncollins5552]

Maybe better to get the seperate head and make a stack instead of the combo if you gig.

[@timtimmonsmusic]

im glad to hear your feeling better! also ola is absolutely right, if you already have a boss katana there is no need to upgrade. especally if you have a boss me80. from my understanding the new line of katanas basically has a built in me80.

I'm so glad your back is back :) But also Will it Chug!

[@paultrombetta]

Glad to hear you're getting better Ola. I hope you get back to 200% in no time.

[@Kochiha]

Proud 2nd gen Katana owner here, it's honestly kind of incredible how well it handles multiple effects running at the same time. Sometimes to insane, bizarro levels. Great to hear the 3rd gen one still kicks asssssssssss!

L5-S1 fusion… life changing for me-Glad you’re doing well. At age 50 my wife “made” me get back to electric and the 50w Katana is awesome. Happy to not need a dozen pedals. Chugga-chugga…

[@DBCooperPDX]

Yay!!!!! Uncle Ola is SITTING UP AND SHREDDING 🎸😎

[@Florida_Living1]

Wow. Modeling has come a long way from my old Line 6 Spider when I first started playing. IMO the Katana is totally amp you could go out and gig with and not leave anything to be desired. It’s a good time to be a guitar player!!

[@deckert618]

I've had my Mk1 for over 5 years now, and still love it. Gen 3 has to be 3x as good, so it would probably make my head explode.

"Option paralysis" - it can grind me down until I either feel/hear everything sounds the same, or just *too* . I agree, I enjoy just plugging into my Marshall DSL20 and chugging away with a reliable, consistent and enjoyable tone.

Ola, I agree with you 100 percent. So tired of everything requiring an app. I just want to sit down and play without having to log into something or having to adjust something in a dang app. Well done on this Chug episode bro.

[@spike007980]

Glad the surgery went well, this amp chugs like a champ. i need twenty of them.

[@andrewmance3319]

When you begin using the Tone Studio system, this set up becomes untouchable for the price and versatility!

[@TheCyberMantis]

Truth.

[@Kalthos85]

Had a MKii head for a while and found that some onboard effects sounded better than others. As an amateur musician, I was not disappointed with the thing. I sold it and pre-ordered the Artist-Head Gen 3.

[@robowenmikels]

If that's how you felt about the mk2, you're going to feel the exact same way about the gen3, as nothing has really changed.

[@Kalthos85]

@@robowenmikels haha yeah like I said, not disappointed. I only occasionally got annoyed with the buttons being on the top back. It's part of what convinced me to switch to Artist. I think top buttons are probably less annoying on a combo, but I don't have room for combos T_T

[@iggynub]

Glad you're getting good tones out of it. I've never liked the heavier tones from my artist mkii, nor the fuzz

[@mattlionmusic]

Back surgery is no joke. Damn near cured my sciatica 19 years ago tho and I’m young. 🤷‍♂️ glad you’re feeling well! Be careful lifting those cabs and amps.

i personally love the katana through a greenback. takes care of most of the fizzyness and gives the midrange centerstage. definitely worth a try

[@charlimini849]

Hi everyone. For the few who have answered my comments. I can recommend watching The Studio Rats channel about the various katana settings. This would help you to dial real usable tone accordingly. @ola thanks for the good work. A tons of people would for sure love some patches created by you in a video where you are setting all parameters.

[@ithemba]

It's kinda mindblowing to me how this third gen was underwhelming for so many people - just and only because the first Gen Katana really was already THIS good and THIS groundbreaking. There really is a pre and a post Katana world in affordable home amplifiers (and not even just modelling but home amps period. Why ever should you buy any other transistor practice amp for playing at home when the 50 is only 200 bucks and can do literally everything you'll ever need at home, including being a full fledged recording interface, including DI signal and reamping?)

[@12DisturbedGuy93]

This is the exact answer! I love using my MKII as DI in but still be able to hear a dirty tone while Im tracking from the amp itself

[@JesusAriasAvila]

The 50 has no send-return effect loop or compatibility with the GA-FC footswitch though. The speaker is not as good either. But at half the price... It is a hard choice.

[@javiergodinez_]

It's a cool Amp. I have the gen 2.

[@thorpenator9148]

Sell it...and upgrade immediately...lol

[@robotx4242]

Any Katana gen I, II, III is fine for me. I just use the clean channel with a Pod Go or Valeton GP-200. Sounds great. I just use the Boss Effects as a back up or to sweeten up the sound. They are light weight, loud, and priced fairly. Great budget rig.

[@terran236]

Why not go into the return? The clean channel colors the sound quite a bit. Especially since you're running a valeton , I assume you're using it for amp model.

[@andresaguilar7782]

Damn sounds brutal!

[@xRosesLuna]

I love that guitar, I wish I had the money lol. The amp sounds amazing though 🤘

[@Chrome262]

I like my GO. Hook it up to an FRFR cab and I get all of that

[@JROD5150]

My 10 year old loves this amp.

[@DustyChugs]

Love my Katana MkII 100 head. I don’t think I will play any other amp straight out of the box, no app needed you can chug. Straight metal tone right in your face. I currently have 2 different styles of tone. Judas Priest tone and just a straight clean metal chug. BAM!!!!

[@user-ts5pi1ix6s]

If I was just hearing this, I would think someone’s playing any modeler. Sounds good

[@sirena7116]

I use the Katana MK2 to reamp through my DAW. It sounds very nice and I don't have to load plugins and hope my settings saved in those plugins. I turn the amp on, and go.

[@The-Biggest-D]

I have the mk2 50 watt and it is a chug machine if you get the settings right,you just mainly need to balance out the booster and the gain

[@robertovelasquez9788]

CHUGTASTIC!!!

[@mattjns]

Volume UP, then control with master. The mkII had dual knobs also.

[@algunnickvalido]

I had to sell my katana head mk ii 🥺 Hope to be abble to buy this version. Sound killer

[@CinemaPuree]

welcome back Will it CHUG!!!

[@n.a.fgaming3038]

tried the gen 2 i believe in a music shop with a humbucker strat. even on the brown channel it still has really low gain even with the gain knob maxed out and the booster effect on. tho the videos of the katana and the mini ola has made sounds freaking AMAZING.

[@Targon999]

Was it a 100w model?

[@mrbobmetalhead69]

Its weird cuz i try the same thing but 50 watt with cheap 200ish usd humbucker guitar at the same store and it sound brutal as f**k , even if i detuned the guitar to drop f which make the string extremely floppy

[@terran236]

Something in the presets probably caused that. The brown channel has definitely enough gain to make you push brown. Lol

[@jokebuster5713]

I regret not getting a boss katana, it is one of the best practice amp, or even guitar amp in general

[@Targon999]

Get the new one ;)

[@lordmorgoth7]

[@terran236]

Agreed. The sneaky amp Fender twin sounds beautiful.

[@EconID]

I have the MK2 and the only thing I'd maybe do is swap out the speaker. I also have amp sims and i can play through both together and oh man its cool 🤘
