Troppo compressore

They can ace surf music and they pick up the woodiness of hollow/semi hollow electric guitars very well. P90 pickups sound great too. Tone is easy to control.

breaking up is hard to do...

Great demo. Make sure that you cherish every moment that your daughter spends with you because they grow up fast. They are very precious in the Lord’s eyes. She is a darling little girl and she loves her daddy. This is what life is all about..🙏🙏

Sooo helpful! Thank you!

The knobs are 2 pickup volume 1 main tone 1 main volume with treble bleed. Gretsch is owned by Gretsch, Bigsby is owned by Gretsch, Fender does the marketing, shipping etc. In my experience Gretsch's will play everything from chicken picken country to metal, Ive owned hollow body, jet, corvette models. Single coil, ft and bt pickups, all good. Had a Setzer model but it was stolen.

They do just drop in most cases.

I have the Twin. Here's what I think. Drive pedals don't sound right, no matter what. At unity volume, they are going to work best. But, then they sound tinny & fizzy. Tone Master Amps are awesome. But they are meant to sound like the amp the uh are emulating, without the use of pedals. I run mine at home on the lowest setting & crank the volume to get some drive. Bliss.

Grea video dude. Thanks for posting.

It's too clean. It would make a great studio preamp.

I had an issue installing the power supply under. Seems like both the CS7 and the CS12 does not fit in the bumblebee quite well? Did you have any issues?

I have mine at a lower action, and it is fantastic. The only downside for this kind of guitar is that it is sensitive to high humidity. But there it is. I love mine, and all of my Gretsches.

As the old adage says…you get what you pay for 🤷‍♂️

Martin, Taylor, Yamaha. Haven't played a bad Martin. Even the imports.

I looked at one of these at Guitar Center earlier this week but opted out.. on both the 6 and 7 string they had in stock, the high e string was so close to the edge of the fretboard that it consistently slipped off the side of the frets. Is yours properly aligned?

Buy Yamaha

Buy a Yamaha ...PROBLEM SOLVED

Hey Jay, why did you return the Hummingbird in the first place?

I'm not so sure about them being rebranded Harley Bentons. HBs have a lower amp rating for the 9v supply (300mA as opposed to the Engine Room's 500 mA rating), and I believe they use a power brick instead of an internal power converter.

It’s incredibly loud at 0.2W. They should have done it as attenuation in DB. I really don’t think a 0,2W is that lound.

I love Slash and I liked this guitar and I want to buy it but the thing is I feel the color is not like a real Victoria Les Paul, I feel it's gold yellow not a gold top like that one with Slash and because of that I'm so confused between this and Appetite Burst so what can you advise me because I really love Victoria Les Paul and I want to buy gold top but like I said I feel it's more yellow 😭

I got one. For a long time Chicago only had one Guitar Center. Back in the 90’s when I started playing guitar, the place was awesome. They had a display where you could try out every effects pedals they sold. It ruled, and I loved every bit of it. BUT. There was a manager who worked there for a long time that nobody liked. He had this horrible slick guy ponytail and the way he dressed just oozed sketchy used car salesman. Heavy Steven Seagal vibes. I alway thought he looked just like the bad guy from The Karate Kid part III. The rich guy who bankrolled the Cobra Kai Dojo. My friends and I gave him the nickname Mr. Slick Ponytail Esquire, or Lord Slick Ponytail the 3rd. He was the master of every shady sales tactic in the book. Raking in those commissions. I actually had the rare opportunity of actually seeing him play guitar, but only once. Of course it was some 80’s hair metal wannabe Van Halen crap. Nothing against Eddie, but you know what I mean. The store changed locations to the place it is today, and Slick went with it. One day I happened to be in the neighborhood, so I went to check out the new location. I had been over five years since I last stepped foot in Guitar Center, or any other guitar shop. I was kind of surprised to see Slick was still there, but whatever. I spotted a shiny new cherry red Gibson ES335 on the wall and got excited. That was my dream guitar at the time. I carefully took it down from the rack, found a place to sit, and started tuning it. Slick was talking to somebody, but spotted me with the guitar and walked over. Mid sentence, without missing a beat, he takes the guitar out of my hands, puts it back on the wall, and continues his conversation like nothing even happened. 🤯 All without saying a word to me, looking me in the eye, or the slightest pause in conversation. I was completely blown away by that. I sat there frozen for a moment, processing what the hell just happened. Now, I admit I look young for my age. Always have. I probably still looked like a teenager, but I had been playing guitar for almost ten years at that point. Even if that wasn’t the case, that was an incredibly disrespectful thing to do to a customer. Just taking the guitar out of my hands like that was bad. Then refusing to acknowledge my existence took it to a whole other level. The message was loud and clear. THIS GUITAR IS TOO GOOD FOR THE LIKES OF YOU. He basically treated me like some sloppy little kid with a Kool-Aid smile, about to get melted chocolate all over the guitar with my grubby little hands. I was too shocked to even be angry at that point. That came later. That experience was pretty long lasting. For it time it even affected my relationship with the guitar in general. It was years before I finally decided to go back in that store again. Slick was gone by then. So… yeah. That’s my Guitar Center story.

me ha ha encantad tu estilo compañero. yo tengo una igual y siento lo mismo .eso si cambiare las selletas de acero por las otras de cobre. gracias otra vez

If you use the power amp in ... Can you still use the tone shape in the power amp??

"Let's be honest, it is a 100 watt 212 amp" Hi. I love your content. However, if we're being honest, this is not a 100 watt amp. It only draws 77 watts from the wall so how could it output 100 watts? It can't. Boss is using an, at best, "misleading" way of rating the power to include the power it could maybe output for microsecond using the power stored in capacitors. Some would call it dishonest. All speaks and reputable amps are rated by RMS (how much power they can put out (or receive) for an indefinite period). According to my multimeter, the Katana Artist MKII head puts out 64 watts at 8ohms and less than 50 watts at 16ohms. So, let's be honest, this is a 64 watts amplifier and, in its current configuration in this video with a 16ohm cab, is actually a <50 watt amplifier. It's still plenty loud. In fact, the difference in SPL between 64 watts and 100 watts is only 1.9db or about 1/5 "louder". Does that matter? Nah, not unless being lied to matters to you. Oddly, in this 16ohm cabinet, which receives less than 50 watts from the head, a pair of actual 25 watt greenbacks would have worked just fine. But then, they'd have to admit that they're being "misleading" at best. Also funny that Boss rates these waza speaker when it's sold on its own at 100Watts but the cabinet that contains two at 160 watts. Uh oh - another "misleading" rating!

Good video on a function that a lot of the other reviews overlook 🤘. Mastering all the available options for EQ/tone shaping is key to getting the most out of the Katana, but once figured out, it's an incredible box. You already made it sound great just out of the box without even touching on the additional SW options available through the TONE STUDIO : - 10-band or 3-band parametric global EQ, with up to 12dB boost - 2 additional 10-band or 3-band parametric EQ, with up to 12dB boost, that you can position at different points in the signal chain to be pre-amp or post amp - additional10-band or 3- parametric EQ, with up to 12dB boost dedicated to the SOLO BOOST function (Artist only, I believe) It's fkn insane, can lead to tweaking paralysis if you let it, but once sorted, it's amazing. If you also add the SNEAKY AMPS to the mix, the tone options become mind-blowing. Apparently though, these don't work with new Gen 3 Katanas.

I sympathize as a father of two young sons. The thing is, guitar stores, antique stores and other shops with high end goods not meant for kids are the last place you want to bring them, because they'll want to touch everything and be distracted by everything. A tantrum is just waiting to happen. It sounds like your daughter was good in that respect, but then they'll get agitated after a short time, so what you think will be a quick trip may turn into a marathon for little kids.

Hi cheers from Swansea. I wonder why you have to have that saddle so far back? Thats kind of concerning!

Thank you for the review, and for taking the time to upload it. I'm curious to know how long you have had this amp, and how has it held up in that time? Still performing well since the video was made? Been watching a lot of tonemaster videos this week as I am greatly considering one. Your video/review was definitely one of the better ones that I've come across. Thank you again, I greatly appreciate it!

Would you say this amp is better then the tone master you had. Torn between the 2 home use only

Play "Purple Rain" on that guitar if you know how to play that song".

Great video i have a couple guitars that i nave intonation problems with, so thank you i have tried changing string gage so thanks

Is there some kind of law that people NEVER OR RARELY EVER use the stereo chorus effect with distortion . That is THE sound. JOHNNY WINTER left his Boss Chorus ON all the time sitting on top of his amp.

Oh man I just ordered the blonde version. I live in an apartment and was hoping I’d be okay with the attenuator. I’ll try your tip of lowering the guitar volume as well. I also plan on using a pair of headphones at times. If it’s bad I can return it I guess. Thanks for the tips!

I watched a couple of dozen ToneMaster videos and this is the best (I have a Deluxe Reverb Tone Master and three tube Deluxe Reverbs, and everything I heard in this video rings true to me),

Fizzy to me is unusable tones

Great demo, I'm building my custom board and with OD-200 I can replace my gain & distortion pedal stack, and use this, along with Boss EQ-200 for unlimited tones. Your demo gave me the usable sonics of OD-200 better than all the other video's that I've watched, I'm subscribing.

I eventually got obsessed with ES 335s (and to a lesser degree Hagstrom Vikings) in my teenage years but because of Peter Hayes of *BRMC* 😅, I wanted one in cherry Red but never wanted to settle for an Epiphone...until now, I'm considering picking up a used one in honey burst

I picked up a second hand MK II artist head and I can't get a good tone of out this thing. I've tried V30s, greenbacks, and even eminence speakers. I can't good a good crisp glassy clean tone. It's impossible. I've tried the tone shape, I've tried the cabinet resonance, I've tried presence, and the EQ knobs. I can hook up ANY other head to these speakers and get a great clean tone: Orange head, H&K, etc. Never mind Vox and Fender combos. The distortion is brash and fizzy. It really bothers the ears on the high end. Yet, somehow, has no presence at all. You can't get it to sound "alive" in the room like any of the afore mentioned amps/heads can in the same room. Honestly, I hate it. I don't see the hype for this thing. It's trash in my view. Anyone want a MKII artist head? To ad insult to injury: I find it far too quiet with my 212 cabinets. Obviously, the claim that this is a 100 watt head is a marketing lie. It draws 77 watts from the wall. It cannot put on 100 watts RMS (which is how amps and speakers are measured). My oscilloscope says that this class AB poweramp only put out 64 watts at 8ohm and less than 50 watts at 16ohm. Since my 212s are 16 ohms, that explains things.

What is the difference between EQ and EQ2?

4.9

I picked this up two days ago and I hope I can get some amazing tones/sounds out of it!!!

Hi I was wondering if you could get some George Lynch tones out of it. I'd definitely watch that video

Got the same guitar love it 😍

Nothing better than a Gretsch through a fender amp.

Also worth noting: the second input on each channel is -3db so if you’re looking for quiet that can allow you to use the second “attenuator” setting from bottom without worrying as much about the volume knob on your guitar.

i just bought a sterling musicman jp 150fm i love your review your jp 60 sounds awesome thank you for ths video

I bought one of these during COVID. Went into GC, took it off the wall and it felt so natural and easy to play. Tried another similar looking model by another company I will not name, I believe it was a 339 copy, and it felt like someone had picked up a piece of driftwood and nailed some strings on it. What a difference. The block does make it HEAVY by comparison to others guitars. I believe BB, as well as Alvin Lee (forgot to mention him) both played 345's, stereo models with the big knob switch on it. Have not seen one of these in years. I agree this is so good that just looking at it makes me want to pick it up and play.

Nice guitar, nice playing and good information

still harsh and dry to me despite the waza speaker
