Yes, you are right, the "System Global EQ" will let shape the final sound. Also on the MkII, there is a new feature in BTS "POWER AMP IN SETTING" , it's a High Pass Filter that letS you shape even more your final sound.
Great video, now I think the brighter tone while using Return would sound better if you use the whole FX Loop. I mean, guitar to amp input, then FX Loop to pedalboard
Thanks but the video was to demonstrate the new poweramp input feature of the MkII. As for the Mooer preamp, it sounded better in the power amp input as the clean channel was coloring it too much.
Thanks for making this. Did the pedal have a cab sim on it or is it just a preamp sim? I am wondering if I should use cab sims when running into the poweramp input.
JB Aubry I agree but when I do this I find the sound very dull. I was told that the Katana speakers are voiced very flat and it’s best to try with sims on and off. I’ll try it both ways. What do you think?
@@aaronshortmusic Take note the Katana is a guitar amp with a guitar voiced speaker. Make sure you set your amp as I explain in the video. On my side, I did turn off the "cab sim" in the Mooer preamp as I didn't want it to go from a "cab sim" then into a guitar amp. My best advice would be to experiment and see what your "ears" prefer, but on my side, all preamps I tried as in my video required me to turn off the "cab sim". What preamp are you trying to use with your Katana?

That's great to know. I don't like the tones out of my Hotone Ampero in a Headrush 108. Pluged it in the amp in of my Katana 100 MKII and liked it a lot. Thinking of getting a katana 50 MKII just for the Ampero, as it's lighter to carry. Guess, volumewise, I'll have no problems with the band.
@@mr.jogger8346 Go, and you will be able to run your Ampero directly into the poweramp input in the back of the 50w. Experiment with and without cab simulation from your ampera as you are driving your multi FX into a guitar amp, not into a FRFR as the Headrush powered speaker. On my side, when running a preamp, I prefer the cab sim off on it (as in my video). FYI the 50w is loud enough. I own one. And yes, it's light and easy to lug around. Buy 2 for a stereo setup! Please like & subscribe if not done yet. Thanks in advance.
I have tried both methods with a headrush mx5 and a mkII. For me the power in sounds slightly better, but one of the things that get muddy the sound through the speaker is the headrush reverb, I have to lower the mix quite a bit, but if I use the return of the FX loop I can remove the Headrush reverb and use the katana reverb, for me it sounds better that way
Take note the katana amp has a speaker voice for guitar, it's not a FRFR (full frequency flat response). On your Headrush, when sending the signal, turn off the cab sim from the MX5.
So the aux input would be more for external devices right? Like phone, pad, laptop, or something like an eband js10? And do you think using aux input that way would be ok for live performance? If you played your own backing tracks through this amp and jammed to them as well? I'm more of an intermediate player and would like feedback from experienced musicians. 😁👍
Yep. You got it right. The "auxiliary input" is for external devices.

Hey friend! There is a mod that prevents the speaker from being deactivated when you connect headphones. I could use the headphone output, put a looper there, and then connect it to the aux in on a katana 50. Would it sound bad? The problem I see is that the original output and the aux in output will sound simultaneously (which come from the same source) and it could sound strange. what do you think?
Good question and I had never thought of doing this. But your idea sounds great and I think it would work but I never tested it on my side as I don't have that mod on my 50w.
Great Video! One question. What amp type was on while running the Mooer through the effect loop return? Clean? Acoustic? Would there be much difference? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the good comment. If you look closely at my video, by going into the FX return you bypass the "preamp" of the Katana, so I am not going into the clean or acoustic or any other Katana amp, I am going direct to the poweramp, so the sound you hear is coming from the Mooer mini.

Is there any problem if you connect with an Y cable your guitar to both input jack and, through a multieffect processor, to the "aux in" jack at a time? I was wondering if I could get an overdrive guitar tone (amp's input) mixed with an emulated acoustic guitar tone (multieffect) in the aux in. Is there any feedback problem or incompatibility? I have the 50w model, no effects loop available. Will I blow something away if I do that?
I don't see any problem. Start with low volume (master volume set low). You won't blow anything. Experimenting is part of the fun of playing guitar. Also, go through the auxiliary as if you go into the poweramp input, you will lose the front of the amp. Keep me posted. Like & subscribe! Rock on and have fun!
Because you have a HX stomp, I would suggest you to go with the 100w model as it will offer you a "FX loop" (the 50w doesn't have one). This will offer you full connectivity with your HX device.
Sure! What Katana do you have? The MkII has a dedicated poweramp input in the back designed for multi effects. Take note that the Katana speaker is "voiced for guitar" so just set the cab sim to "off" in your Pod Go. Hope that helps. Please "like & subscribe" if not done yet.
@@FasterCrypto I'd go into the poweramp input in the back if you have a MkII and set the cab sim to "off" on the Pod Go as the katana speaker is voiced for guitar (not a FRFR Full Range Flat Response)

Great video Man. I've got a mk2 50 and want to use my HxEffects with it. There's no videos or help online referring to this.

Only trouble is I don't know what settings to use on the Hx Effects and will it work at all?
You have it right, run it into the poweramp in of your Katana MkII, however, my best advice for the HX would be to set the cab sims to OFF as the Katana amp are "real guitar amps" with a "real guitar speaker", so you don't want to run a cab sim into a guitar voiced speaker. Hope it helps and let me know
@@richardjones2811 MAn doing my best, I don't know all of the pedals/FX out there. You may be right. If it's only FX, the best way to use it will be in front of the amp as the 50w model doesn't have a FX loop
@@JBAubry You're right. I'll try running it in the front of the amp tomorrow. If it sounds shit (think it will) then I'll sell the 50 and get a 100 instead.
I plug my Boss GT-1 into the power amp in on my 50 Mk 2. To begin with it didn't sound good at all, very muffled. But then I played around with the EQ settings in Tone Studio on the Gt-1 and it really came to life.
Hi sir..i got some problem...i using boss gt10 i direct put in send input..so what my question is about the panel katana , are all the function reverb, tonation,effect still live ??? How i can close all and just using my setting in boss gt10...or i also can put in direct to pre amp?
Plug it in the poweramp input in the back of the amp as in my video. It bypasses everything in the Katana. Also, in your GT10 make sure the "cab simulation" is set to "OFF". Rock on!
If I were to use my pocket GT for some my amp modeling setting that the katana doesn’t have, and plug it into the power amp in(Or whichever mode would make this work) on the katana, then connect the 6 clicker foot switch for the 100 watt amp, would I be able to use pedal effects such as phaser, flanger, etc. through the amp without ruining my EVH brown sound premappings?
my question would be if i use a modeler like a helix or ax8 (or upcoming fractal fm3) would i need to turn off cab simulation? or does the boss katana work as a FRFR like the mission engineering Gemini 2 ?
1) "Off" the cab sim on your multi FX (my video is done with the cab sim off) 2) Boss Katana is a real guitar amp, which mean you are going into a speaker voiced for guitar, not a FRFR. So the reason to set your cab sim to OFF 3) The Katana MkII line as a poweramp input in the back dedicated specifically for running pre-amps such as a multi FX. Even the 50w has it. Hope it helps
Go "line", basic mono cable and set your cab sim to off on your HX as you are going into a speaker voiced for guitar. Take note, only the "master" volume and power control switch will work once plugged in into the poweramp input jack
It worked for me, I run my Phone output to the auxiliary input of the Katana using a 1/8 stereo cable (male/male). Make sure your phone volume is set to hear it in the katana. Use the Master volume to control overall volume of the mix, use the channel volume to set your guitar sound level. Hope it helps.
Yes you can, simply set the send/return (S/R block in Boss Tone Studio) to after the amp and set the Chain (also in Boss Tone Studio) to mode 1. Hope it helps. Please "like and subscribe" if not done yet.
@@JBAubry thank you. I thought its a good poweramp and effects pedal for small amps like HT5r and the joyo bantamps. Could be another selling point for the katana but can’t find any samples on youtube.
Yep, you should be setting your output on your ampero to somewhat of a "line level" and then control the overall volume with the master on the Katana. Take note to experiment with cab sim "off" on the ampero as the Katana is a guitar amp with a a guitar "voiced" speaker not a full frequency flat response as on a powered monitor. Hope it helps and keep me posted.
@@JBAubry Yeah, I've done that and got it sounding pretty good but still not as good the recorded tones with cab sim on into my DAW. I adjusted the Ampero input to -16dB and that's worked wonders. Specifically wondering how you set the power amp in settings on your Katana? There are settings for High pass filter, HPF Freq and Level in, for the power amp input section of tone studio but I can't find much info on them, I'd experiment tonight but just put the baby to bed :D
Would like to help more but haven't experimented much with preamps going into my Katana. One thing for sure that will affect your sound is the Kat's speaker. You are stuck with it while in your ampero I think you have IRs and many cab options.
I could use amplitube5 for example; via the audio interface and from the audio interface to the boss katana power amp in as a feedback or power to amplitube 5 ?

Not sure of your question but if you want to use the Katana preamp, turn off the one in your multi fx. To control the gain on the Katana, use the knob on the panel or set it in BTS. You could also try your G6 directly in the poweramp input and it bypasses everything in the Katana
@@JBAubry And if i don't want to use the simulation from the g6, i plug the g6 in the instrument input, so i use the pre amp of the katana, and the efectos from the g6
Make sure to go in Boss Tone Studio to activate the effect loop. See the block "S/R"or "SEND/RETURN" and set it to "ON". Check my video, at one point you can see where is located that block.

Would like to help more but haven't experimented much with preamps going into my Katana. One thing for sure that will affect your sound is the Kat's speaker. You are stuck with it while in your ampero I think you have IRs and many cab options.
I could use amplitube5 for example; via the audio interface and from the audio interface to the boss katana power amp in as a feedback or power to amplitube 5 ?
Yes you can. Try it out. Take note you are going into a speaker voiced for guitar so set the cab simulator to off in amplitube.
@@JBAubry , fiz um teste breve e até que ficou bem legal , porem tem alguns ajustes em System do software do Katana que preciso mexer pois nem sei pra que servem
@@12Hugao which settings are you having issues with?
@@JBAubry , na vdd apenas gostaria de saber qual função de cada parâmetro na configuração do power amp in no boss tone studio pra que eu não fique meio perdido apenas mexendo nos botões .
@@12Hugao if you go straight into the poweramp input. Only the master volume and power control mode will work. You do not have to worry about anything else
No entiendo nada
hello, i have a multi fx, a zoom g6,and into my pedal chain i have a marshall amp simulation and a cabinet 4x12 somulation, my question is, if i am going to use de pre amp in of the katana, i have to turn off the cabinet simulation, but what about de amp simulation, i have to turn it off too? how im going to control the gain if the amp simulation is off and in the katana i onlcy can control volumen
Not sure of your question but if you want to use the Katana preamp, turn off the one in your multi fx. To control the gain on the Katana, use the knob on the panel or set it in BTS. You could also try your G6 directly in the poweramp input and it bypasses everything in the Katana
@@JBAubry thanks, the thing is that i want to use the Marshall simulation from My g6, should i plug the g6 in the power amp in?
@@JBAubry And if i don't want to use the simulation from the g6, i plug the g6 in the instrument input, so i use the pre amp of the katana, and the efectos from the g6
@yonyborges8557 yes
@yonyborges8557 in front or in the effects loop if your katana has one
when i use my line6 pod go into" amp in" on Katane mk11 100 the effects loop wont work? anyone have an answer?
Make sure to go in Boss Tone Studio to activate the effect loop. See the block "S/R"or "SEND/RETURN" and set it to "ON". Check my video, at one point you can see where is located that block.
@@JBAubry thank youJB. I will check your video
@@glennmartin4043 Happy to help. Please "like & subscribe" if not done yet. Cheers
Power amp in was the best ...
I am thorn in between poweramp in and fx return. Except the volume bump, I don't hear any differences.
@@JBAubry I have been using the effect loop more than the power amp with my modelers.
