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

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...

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.

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
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.
@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
That sounds really great, perfect demo of the chugability. 😎
Good to see ya healthy Ola \m/ Love these amps never disappointed me
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.

@johncollins5552 not needed. The 100W Katana models can easily keep up in the backline and the LINE OUT direct to the desk takes care of the FOH. I have a MkII Artist combo and even on the 50W setting, it's easily loud enough in the backline.

Good for you and your back!
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.
the low end is really tight. amazing
Sounds perfect! You may well have been a major part of Roland's success with this amp line.
Glad to hear you're getting better Ola. I hope you get back to 200% in no time.
God I love these will it chugs !!!!!!!! Glad to see them back and glad your healthy
I missed WILL IT CHUG videos. Thanks Ola!!!👍👍👍
"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.
I'm so glad your back is back :) But also Will it Chug!
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…
Ive been using the Mk II as a home amp for like 5 years. The new one looks great, i think i might have to get myself one of these
Yay!!!!! Uncle Ola is SITTING UP AND SHREDDING 🎸😎
Glad you're back! :)
Thanks for the Boss Katana review. I will buy one of these to compare to my current solid state main and my other tube amps.
Welcome back! Chugg away Ola! I have an empty house this afternoon and am going to take your tips for a ride this afternoon!
It's so good to see (and hear) You being back and (hopefully) healthy. But where's the Chug-O-meter? :D
Just got the Gen 3 head and I love it. I have to sell my MKII now that I bought three years ago… I didn’t need to upgrade, but I just wanted the latest and greatest. One of my favorite guitar purchases ever in the last 35 years…
The only review of this product I'll watch. 🤟
Nice to know your surgery went well Ola. This is by far the best version of the Katana, chugalicious!
Man that really chugs! Cool!
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.
Yes!! Another ola video. HELL YEAH.
Glad the surgery went well, this amp chugs like a champ. i need twenty of them.
Glad you're getting good tones out of it. I've never liked the heavier tones from my artist mkii, nor the fuzz
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.
Katanas are so good, my Mk. II is super fun! I wish these were around when I started playing in the 90s. We all had Peaveys and Crates.
i personally love the katana through a greenback. takes care of most of the fizzyness and gives the midrange centerstage. definitely worth a try

This pink guitar is glorious!
Those chompers are shining brighter than a flourescent light! Damn!!
I love the Solar pink Cannabalismo X! I made the difficult decision of choosing between Solar and Strandberg for next guitar and bought the Boden 7 with exquisite woods and it plays amazing. Next one is the pink Solar!
Sounds great! I’m making my video at the moment!
Katana ,,the best amp i ever bought.
It's a monster amp. As a guy in his mid 40's who grew up lusting after tube Marshalls and old fuzz pedals, but didn't have a couple of grand to drop on them, it's just an incredible age that we live in.
WEll done Ola! think those bass amps area great all in one get the job done amps.
Man I wish they had these when I first started playing guitar, or hell even when I first started writing and recording.
Boss katana is the most amazing amp I experienced to use
This is a great practice Amp I'm buying one!
Sorry, the symbol/kanji means "sword". That's the meaning of Katana in Japanese. The word/kanji "strength" has a little vertical stroke above the top horizontal line. Lol, first time I explained kanji in English 😅
Just got the artist mk2 I’m in love with it
They're the best practice amps of all time. Really do it all
Great tones.
Honest review 👏🏻🖤🖤🖤
just got a volar v type should come in around 2-3 days super exited
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.

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.

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.
Ola's still got it.

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
The shop that ends up selling this should put a fancy tag on it...."Chugged by Ola"🤘
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.

My 10 year old loves this amp.
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!!!!
Welcome back! Katana...most sold and most re-sold amps 🤣

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.
