BOSS KATANA MKII 100 - Unboxing and first impressions - I'll try to not blow this one up.

Музыка

When BOSS offered to send me the NEW Katana MKII I jumped at the opportunity! Since blowing up my Katana 50 I've had a deep dark void in my life that only a fully gig-able light weight modern solid state amp can fill.

    Nice, I saw a couple videos last night on it and was hoping Boss sent one out to you. I guess the UK and European youtubers get a bit of an advantage on releasing new hush hush stuff because of the time difference. Looking forward to seeing and hearing more about it from you. And it's always cool when you and Steve talk about things on the podcast that sometimes aren't mentioned in the demos/videos. Not that your demos aren't thorough, just those little nuanced kind of details that come out when you talk to a good friend. Thank you for all the great content!

I don‘t believe, that this one still will do the job for me. Maybe a Fender Tonemaster, but they are very expensive! So for now I have a Fender HRD IV at home that I can only run at very little volume. Nothing is perfect. Ideally I would like to have a simple, cheap really good sounding amp with headphone possibility and Line in for a player. Not possible??? 🤔

I love how you just screwed around with sounds and controls like a normal guy and left out the endless amounts of techno-babble and unfair comparisons that are 95% of Katana vids. And I could easily see the enjoyment on your face as well. Really made me feel much more secure and confident in my purchase. Great job sir! The REAL question though: Does it hang with $3k boutique tube stacks and will it blow out a sports arena or the Wacken Open Air stage?

    I've got the 100w 2 x 12" although I just got it last month I'm not seeing a lot that's making me want to kick myself. The variations just sound like a treble and pesence boost to make it sound a bit more Fender like and using the Floorboard editor can get access to five effects at once if I ever needed them - not likely. I do love how it can go from totally clean to full shred on the lead and brown channels using only the guitar volume! I don't think anyone has shown this except on my video ;0)

    I have been playing over 30 years in bands etc. I finally ended up playing through a 64 Princeton hand wire, and a Blackstar 20 MKII (versatile amp btw) so yes I’m an admitted tube snob, UNTIL on day last week shopping for another pedal, ya know the rabbit hole in which you never return, and you dump loads of money into, yep that one, anyway I played the Katana 100 MKII and I was really impressed, then I looked at the price (btw the price went up yesterday) and I was kicking myself in the teeth!!!! I bought this amp two days ago as a backup, but now I’m not so sure I’m gonna headline with it. BOSS has just blown it out of the water guys and gals. Every guitar from Strat to Tele, Les Paul sound fantastic through this amp. It has all the versatility I need (country to rock) and I can do acoustic shows!! Bottom line , you need one of these in your arsenal ….stop the pedal madness …just buy one of these things and wonder why you spent all that money chasing the tone dragon. These amps are cheap…in price only. They are built like a brick SH:t house!!! I’m going to buy another one when our local store gets it in. I’m done chasing the dragon. This KATANA MKII is my go to.

Hell solid state amps sound great these days due to technology 4. If the amp gets stolen, Someone shoots it etc etc etc take it home put a sheet over it, call it a coffee table, go get another one , they are completely affordable, a buddy of mine just bought the 100 watt for 250 cash off of FB , where in the hell are you going to find an amp like this at that price? 4. Plug and play. Seriously, I have mine, and it’s very simple, where I go to the stage, the stage guy does the rest, I just plug and play, then go home. Well I get paid.

    Excellent video man! I’m really on the fence as to whether to get the 100w 1x12 combo or just get the 100w head since I have a mini-jubilee with matching 1/2-stack cab with the most amazing 2x12 G12 V speakers in it. I love the gig-ability of the combo but would definitely wanna bypass the emulated cabs from the line-out so I can hear it out of super high-end speakers. Does the combo have that capability?

    I just purchased the 100W head so i can use with different cabs as not usually a fan of combo speakers, and as far as portability if im really stuck I can always have a warm up or practice through the 5 inch, 30W built in speaker... I plan on running it through my Egnater 2X12 most of the time however. Hot Katana Tip: If sometimes you don't feel like using the USB out (which is actually pretty good as you can record fx in stereo), if you turn the stereo expander on it kills the baked in cab sim on the line out and you can run it into your interface like a regular raw DI from the head and use whatever IRs you like if you are recording or whatever.

    They still haven't done the one thing that I think would really push the katanas over the top. I wish they would some how make some kind of illuminated light around the controls bass, middle, treble volume ECT. That way when you switch channels it would light up in the spot that you set even if the knobs were changed for other channels. For people like me that forget my settings. I hope all of this made sense. Basically a reference point of how a channel was set before you made adjustments on another channel for when you wanna tweak something a little instead of jumping from one extreme to another you could turn the knobs back to the position that was saved and adjust from there. Like once you saved your settings into the memory there would be a light indicator always saved until you adjust further and resave and the light would then change to that spot. I know slot of people don't like slot of bright lights and all but I think that would be a huge improvement even if it pushed the amp price up a bit more!

    The one thing I wish is that they put the controls on the front of the amp like they did finally with the boss katana artist which I also hope is getting refreshed. I don't know why top mounted controls are still a thing so clunky so difficult to see.

    Looks likes it is just everything repackaged. First, the variation button is the same thing as cabinet resonance, in which on the Artist there are three variations on the panel. Second, if you know what you are doing, you can use booster, mod/fx, delay and reverb all at once on the Artist and other earlier Boss Katanas. You really are going overboard if you want all 5 at the same time. Good review though.

    Id say the 100 gives you more eq headroom, the 50 is pretty damn loud (keeps up with a drummer just fine). there are diminishing returns with wattage and volume, if you are looking for 'as loud as possible' you need to start looking at more speakers because then you are moving more air.

    Nope. I'd be contacting the vendor so they can file an insurance claim with the carrier and have them send me another. You are entitled to a pristine product and if you don't hold the corporate feet to the fire they'll feel like they can get away with crap like that. I once had a similar situation but with a different product and the vendor used the pictures to file their insurance claim and not only did they send me a new one but they declined to have me send the damaged one back. I ended up with two of them.
