Not sure I did a very good job explaining but someone will remember what this was. Just select a song and the amp dialed the tones in for you. You don't have to dial in a tone for each riff. I thought that was kind of neat, particularly for practicing riffs. You could then select the song and the amp would give you the exact tone of the original recording.
It had some basic delay/reverb, but you could plug your phone into the amp, using the provided cable and use an app to pick any one of thousands of songs in many genres and once you selected a tune you could play the riff from it clean on your phone or play it with the effects as played on the recording. Sorry I can't think of the name or find the thread at the moment.īut the post had a video of someone doing a demo and it had a feature which might be perfect for what you're talking about. All the tubeheads clearly know and are advising you correctly to use your tube amp but turn it down.īut you question reminded me of a thread posted in the last week or so.it was a NAD for a little over $100, I think. The power amp input on the back also means that if you have an unpowered Kemper, Axe FX etc, then you can use the Katana 50 MKII as a high quality speaker.TLDR: JUST CHECK OUT THE VID IN MY NEXT POST. This 50W model however is small enough to use as an incredible home practice amp, but puts out enough power to be able to use when jamming with other players. You’d probably manage some smallish gigs with it, but if you’re looking for a guitar amp that’s primarily for live use, then maybe consider the 100W model you’ll also get a little more clean headroom with that too. You can even expand the effects section (and indeed delve deeper into what the Katana can do) by plugging the amp into your computer via the USB on the back and using the Boss Tone Studio Software. You can use an optional boss FS-6 footswitch alongside the Katana 50 MKII, though this will only let you switch between your preset banks. Also, once an effect is on, the only way to switch it off is to dial the knob anti-clockwise back to 0 - there’s no bypass switch. It’s easy to dial in your desired sound - the only thing is you might struggle adjusting your settings on the fly at a gig. The control panel has been cleverly designed, with two out of the three knobs acting as two in one - the lower part controls one effect, and the top part another so both can be controlled independently. You can now also use up to five effects simultaneously, giving you lots of scope to create some really cool sounds. It’s also really handy having the amazing effects section at your disposal for acoustic too. The sound you’ll get will depend on your guitar’s pickup, but when we tried it, the Katana 50 MKII acted as a nice clean and neutral palette for the Taylor we plugged into it. Like the old version, there is an acoustic setting too, so you can use acoustic electrics with this as well. There might not be quite enough gain on tap for super heavy metal or djent players, but classic metal and heavy rock players will have more than enough to play around with. Boss’s popular Katana Amp line continues to evolve with the idea that great things come in small packagesand that pint-sized innovation is the brand-new Katana-Mini, an ultra-compact amplifier with Waza Amp technology and all-analog circuitry that delivers pure rock. It does high-gain tones very well, without ever sounding fizzy or harsh. Come to think of it, that reminds me of an amp I saw at the Summer NAMM Show that combines portability with big tone.
BOSS KATANA MINI PLUS
The amp feels and responds really well too - is it exactly the same as playing through a tube amp? Probably not, but it isn’t far off, plus you’ve got a lot of extra versatility here. The Boss Katana 50 MKII has a good amount of low end too, so it’s sometimes easy to forget that you’re only playing through a 1x12” combo amp.
Gradually increase the gain knob and you’re right into classic rock territory.
