Listening through my computer speakers they sound about the same. Glad you guys talk about the differences since I can't really hear it.
I could barely tell the difference on my computer (Macbook Pro with 6 speakers). After I put on my audiophile grade open air headphones, I could hear a slight difference. I think the Katana 3 might have been recorded slightly louder or possibly it's eq is different. It would have been a better test if the player didn't know what version he was playing at the time.
They are rather working for the sales
Best bit about gen3 is that mk2 prices will go down:)
Not that much.. they’re cheap AF anyway. Get a job, son.
@@justinTime077no one is asking you for your useless and pointless opinion, keep it to yourself or just keep quiet. Go and play some lego, you’re already a big boy right?
@@justinTime077you tell em Mr money bags!
@justinTime077 If they're cheap, you should buy me one
@@justinTime077 tell that to a middle school student like me
Gen 3 for me. I played one and it’s awesome!
3 sounds a bit better but not enough to replace my 2 which I bought new 3 years ago for 208 dollars. Great amps, love them. Really good review, thanks.
If you were buying now,Would you buy a used gen2 in great shape or a new gen3?…I'm looking..thanks for any help
Have recently purchased the Gen 3 and it’s awesome apart from the outputs on rear and foot pedal flexibility…wondering how to integrate with Helix Rack now
But fantastic sound.. I’ll defo update to the larger Artist 100 eventually. Great video and well set up for comparisons ✔️🎸🏴
I came into this thinking the MKII would not be that different, but the MKIII is much more present and natural. No question in my mind.
Great video, loved your playing as well brother!
This thing sounds pretty freaking good
Both sound great.Not a lot of difference.The Gen 3 has a little tighter sound,and the pushed model is a cool feature.
3 sounds great , now if roland/boss included a built in bluetooth module and added an efx loop to the 50ex I would buy one even if it cost more
Much more detail in the mids for Gen 3, mk 2 gets fizzy pretty quickly on high gain modes
It seems that he's putting more welly into the MK3 demos, so it's tricky to tell whether the difference is him or the amp.
Is he trying to promote the MK3, because it seems like he is?
Yeah the 3 has way more pronounced upper mids and a slight scoop on the low mids. Kinda reminds me of a IIc+ which is awesome. Especially when the switch between mark 2 and 3 happens at 16:03
I bought the artist modle of both the mark 2 and gen 3 and I’m disappointed in the gen 3. It sounds darker and quieter to me it’s missing its fullness. I’ll be sticking with the faithful mark 2
That's interesting. Even with the bloom button on?
play the same chord in both without changing the actual chords from one to another
Almost the same
MKII tweak global EQ I'm guessing you can match the G3 tones. Would be interesting to see the different default settings for GLOBAL EQ between the two amps.
Now I'm doubting between the Gen 3 100 and the MkII artist 😖. Please help
We're plenty satisfied with the Gen 3 100 we gotta say...
Dude get the MKii 100 artist and get an airstep and blue tooth it into your phone then get all the patches online or you're missing with the 3 cause no one who uses a katana on default settings
do i buy used gen 2 or give an extra 100 euros for new gen 3?
frankly speaking, the improvements are questionable compared to the increased cost
Does either need a treble booster for that Rory / Brian May boosted Vox AC 30 tone ?
Just wondering how much difference the Gen3 artist makes, if you've had a play with them too?
And I love that wide-eyed smile at 1:20 in the vid!!!
Are you guys paid to promote the 3? Cause all your early comments basically say the 3 is better, to me they sound very similar. Keep It honest
Main difference I hear is in the crunch and hi gain sounds. Definitely better (the gen 3). For cleans, it sounds pretty much the same to me.
They are listening to the amps. We are listening to a video
I don’t know.. the gen3 may feel good in the room, but the mkii sounds better here in UA-cam land.
These are almost the same
The 3 isn’t scooped. It has both a cut and a gain in the mids.
Wich one would you say has more mids the gen 3 or the mk2?🤨 (I had a mk2 and then something happened in the output circuit board thing jajaja so I’m ganna buy a used gen3 and I’m just planning on changing that output board to the mk2 because I feel like the mk2 has a lot of girth on the brown setting and I’ve been in love with that XD)
not really significant.
Mkii is dead..... long live Gen 3.
Needs an electric mistress.
How about a head without any speaker and more budget friendly? I guess no.
You may be on to something here...
Sell sell sell. But don't offend the mkii owners. lol.
They sound exactly the same, and they sound exactly like every amp ever made when plugging into a guitar......it sounds like a guitar plugged into an amp. Same with guitars, they all sound like a guitar.....just looks different.
You must've started playing guitar yesterday or have ears that pay no attention to detail.
