Well played Mike, Well Played.
Love your work mike, glad to see your channel grow!
I’m searching for human nature by Michael Jackson right now , I’m gonna crank it , I haven’t heard in at least a decade. Thanks for that and great video Mike.
Try listening to the John Mayer version, it's pretty awesome
Good ol Steve porcaro
Man, I love my Katana. And dude, your videos are getting better and better. You've really got something going here. Keep it up!
I’ve got a boss katana 50, and the longer I’ve had it, the better it sounds. You pick up so many little quirks about it while using it, what it does well, what it doesn’t, etc. For those looking to spice up their tones, try and dial in your sound as close as possible with just the amp selector, volume / gain, and eq knobs, then add effects to taste.
Indeed. For me the Treble Booster at low settings was a bit of a game changer l. Also really digging into the variety of EQ options.
@BETTS Yeah man the treble booster sounds awesome.
I love the Katana !! As a 2204/2061 marshall user of many decades, I never thought I'd fond a SS amp I like. But the Katana is it.
Katana Artist combo has been my main amp for the last couple years, and it's just perfect. It just works, it works for any genre, it covers every base, I've never even connected it to a computer
i have tried them, but i wouldn't say it is perfect. i have a two rock, a 3 monkeys, a dumble, a vintage tweed deluxe, they are all much better than the katana.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Congratulations you are among my shortlisted winners📦📦kindly Hit me up now🏆👆...
@louis cyfer maybe true but way beyond the point of diminishing returns with those amps. When 1 katana with tone studio tweaking can get you 90 ish maybe more percent of the way there. And no tube issues and an attenuator built in.
Cool, I'm glad you discovered how awesome the Katana is! ⚡😎⚡

I've been a roadie years back, doing shows...and ran a sound and light company for a time. It is a job for the young and those with strong backs!
Moving PA cabinets is a lot of work, even with hand trucks and dollies. And you pray there arent any stairs! Oh, to hope for a freight elevator!!
It can wear you out quickly if you aren't careful. Careful is the watch word here. One slip up can ruin a rack of amps, a big speaker cabinet, the mixing board!! So you do not rush anything. That's why we show up at noon to set up...and finish tearing down and packing it all away by 3am or later...and then on the road to the next big...300 miles away.
What a great life. Live the music business.
I would love to see a video on the Boss Nextone. I was on the fence about getting one, but I ended up with katana.
Recently bought a katana bass amp for my 16 year old who has a weekly gig at a local church. He was using a 150 watt ampeg that he was borrowing which was ok. The katana is only 65 watts but it is louder and more full sounding. Add in all the other features and stuff and he’s really enjoying it.
I know they are well known with guitar players but their new bass amps are carrying on the tradition of quality stuff.
Since the Katana came out, I've felt that a head and 2x12 would be my rig of choice for my next project. Inexpensive, great cleans, great with pedals in front of it and the modeling and configuration options just add a ton of great sounding tones and value. Cool video. Thanks.
I actually made a 2×8" cabinet, with the top sealed, bottom vented, and separate inputs for each. I was hoping to be able to change the grill material on the head to match, but after removing about 12 screws I still couldn't get it off. So the head and cab don't match in looks, but sound incredible together
neato. getting 2 different, upgraded speakers will help give the stereo sound a bit more character too. you can even get an external A/B switch to allow you to turn one, or the other off, so you have 1x12. The best thing about the SS amps is that they work so well with other digital tech. Tubes always throw a bit of a hiccup in the process, even if they're fun. Cheers.
Hey hit me up right now👆👆you won my giveaway prizes🎸🎉
I recently picked up the Artist head myself, and it's quickly becoming my one and only amp. There's really no end to the sounds
you can get out of it, especially that it takes pedals so well. My tube snob days just may be a thing of the past.
I'm in the same boat. I got this mk2 Artist head and its blowing me away. What a badass amp.
I’m just here to share the love for @TheStudioRats. If you get into the Katana sphere, you need Paul in your life. Glad you already found them, Mike
Welcome to the world of Katana, my friend. Proud of you!
The boss Katana is the amp that made me give up being a tube snob. I absolutely love it and I use it every day for blues and rock and thrash metal.
The Boss stuff is so good for a grab-and-go sound that’s already good.
I’ve got an old Roland Micro Cube. Like having a few simple amps, can take anywhere.

I've had my MK 2 Katana 100w head with the 2x12" cab, and I have absolutely LOVED it ever since I picked it up. I think I paid $350 for the head and $200 for the cab from a guy on Reverb selling an hour away from my house so it was an insane deal. I have my own tones that I've built from the ground up but there's some Facebook groups that share patches with eachother and that has made it even better!
The boss tone studio for me is what makes this amp the best. I can do anything with it, even reformulate the speaker (kinda)
Bro... your "unboxing" scissor work is out of this world 😅😅😅
I keep my katana and a tele by my chair in the living room. My go to sitting around watching tv setup. Love the channel!
Cool Review, the Katana keeps popping up as a great piece of gear for that price range. Once again, cool review, sweet playing.

I have the 100w Artist MK2 combo and couldn't be happier with it.
Congratulations you my giveaway winner you won my flying guitar🎸🎸 hit me up 🎄🎄
I Ordered one yesterday and it arrives on Tuesday cant wait for it to arrive ! got it at a decent price £579 it was the last one on Amazon. I already own the mk1 katana head and loved that, But the artist blew me away its the first solid state amp i've heard that to my ears emulates a valve amp pretty accurately, I own around 11 amps now some tube amps some solid state. And i'm now thinking of selling a lot of them on to create space. im a big Boss fan i have a large guitar size flight case pedal board full of boss pedals.
I have two artist mk2 combos; the stereo link is fantastic. The mk2 head with a 2x12 (or 4x12 cab) by itself sounds great, probably better than just one of the combos. Great choice, congrats.
I bought a Katana Head a couple years back. I run it through an ancient Peavey classic 50 4x10. When at the 50 watt setting it is a real barn burner. I’m embarrassed at how much I like it.
Hey hit me up right now🎁🎁 I have a prize for you👆
my biggest gripe on the older Mkii Head is the knob orientation. They fixed it on this model. As always fantastic content sir
Solid states are so underrated by the market. Most of the “bad sounding” ones just need a speaker upgrade. The Roland Cubes are excellent if you can find them. I also have an old Yamaha solid state from the 70s that’s incredible. I really want to get a Roland JC-120 some day.
Totally agree, those Cube amps especially are a great testament toward what a good solid state can be. I'm still a big fan of the old "Flextone" series of Line6 combos. These Katana amps remind me of them a little bit, but still very unique and modern. I wouldn't mine owning one but I have too many good plugins to play through my studio monitors to justify spending more money on something like this.
80% of the sound you get from an amp comes from the speaker. You can put a kick ass speaker in something as lame as an old gorilla from the 80’s and get a good enough amp out of it. It’s funny how we all focus on the gear that effects the actual tone the least lol…
Changing the speaker in my AVT made a huge difference. It still wasn't great, but it was quite improved.
Its all about magnetics. The most important things to tone. Pickups. transformers, and speakers. All magnetics
@@Ottophil Pickups make a pretty trivial difference to tone unless you're playing perfectly clean.
The preamp section of your amp however makes a massive difference and isn't magnetic.
But hey, at least you didn't mention tonewood.
There is so much to get into with these katanas. Especially the artists. I messed with one for a few minutes one day and never even broke the settings out. Just mainly moved the premaps a bit. There's so much to tune in. Tone for anyone.
Congratulations and thanks for watching my videos you won my prize Hit me up now 📦👆
Keep up the good work, Mike! Love your content, enthusiasm, and demeanor. To God be the glory!

Nice tones and at a very good price 🤘
2:46……. That’s what she said!! 😂😂😂
If you like this, I highly recommend checking out the Fender Mustang GTX 100, I'd love to see you do a video on it and compare. Its got so much versatility, you can get profiles of pretty much any fender amp, AC30, SLP/JCM800, and even Mesas or the EVH 5150. Along with that you can get every effect pedal you want in a virtual chain. Plus, it has a killer app you can connect to, makes the experience almost like working Spotify for a guitar rig, and people can upload their own presets. It's kind of like a Helix but packaged into a combo amp with a Celestian speaker to make the profiles feel more present. I was debating between this and the Katana and ended up going with this after some research and trying them out locally.
Had a mustang iii before I got the boss
Mustang defiantly had a better pedal board operation let alone came with the damn amp and didn’t have to buy separate
Boss sounds better though
@@zues2013 Nice! I actually passed on the Mustang III when I bought my second tube amp. I was initially looking for solid state because I wanted a good practice amp with headphones but got sucked into an AC15. This was my second attempt to get a good solid state. I tried the GTX100 (the newer model) in GC compared to the Katana, and I actually preferred it. It sounded way better than I remember the III sounding, and once I got it I found that there's an EQ setting you can turn on that makes it sound even more present and tube-like.
2:33 Mike, get a box cutter. 😀
Really like your videos. You always look like you're having fun.
100% agreed

I love the warmth of tubes but it’s inevitable, these new SS modeling amps are getting so good. You can get great sounds from 1 amp instead of having 6. Love your view point.
It's not a modelling amp
dude you are good on guitar. i like your guitar content. sub
Next you should try the Yamaha THR30 II. Amazing little amp for practice and also for recording. Love your videos. Have a nice day
I've honestly been wanting this new boss katana artist head, it seems so versatile and bridges the gap so well
I love my 50-watt Katana. It just works, for a lot of things.
I just bought this head with the waza cab absolutely love this rig
"This thing is way bigger than I thought it would be" Yeah that was she said!!! Sorry it was right there. Anyway solid state amps and Moduler amps have come along way. This is a great time to be a guitar player cause you can get amazing tone from an affordable price. And the Katana Artist is a prime example of that. Great overview of this amazing amp.Amazing video my man!!!
I can't even use all the capabilities of my Boss GT-1 effects processor.Congradulations on your new rig! 😁
Dude you have my recording desk. Sweet. Also did you know there’s a partition in tone studio where you can access a lot of other patches. Super secret.
Do you mean sneaky amps? If so, I would consider less than half of them to even be usable.
This one is a must. Gotta have it. I recently bought the smaller version and just a few days ago saw the release of this behemoth. I don't like the control panel on the top rear of the amp so I'm giving the original to a good buddy of mine. I have several 2 x12 cabs with Creamback 65's, Creamback 75's, and and an old pair (40+ years) G12-65's so that should be an abundance of different tones. Thanks for the review Mike!
When not using the on-board speaker, just turn the original head onto it's front so that the control panel is facing you.
Just got the Katana 110w Bass amp. The tones are killer.
Congratulations you are among my shortlisted winners📦📦kindly Hit me up now🎮👆
I've been plugging into a Katana for about a year and I absolutely love it. I just traded my Artist in for a head because I prefer plugging into the PA and the head (without a speaker) weighs half as much. These are great amps!
I am a BIG lover of the Katana. I have the 100 watt MK ii, 1x12, and it does pretty much everything I could ever want, as a solo artist, or with my duet. I play both my PRS Standard 24, and my Ovation acoustic through it, and it just sounds fantastic.
Hey hit me up right now👆👆you won my random giveaway prizes🎮🎄
That pink telecaster is sick
That tele sounds nice! Really enjoying your channel!
I bought the artist 2k last summer. Need to spend some more time programming. I use my line hd500x for fx ect. Quite a few good vids about accessories and tricks tips ect
I bought the MK1 Katana head when it released and after only 3 days in the studio I put it on my amp shelf and hadn't touched it since. Fast forward to 5 days ago when my studio monitors crapped out on me and i needed something in a pinch to practice with. I pulled the head off the shelf, did the tone studio update and was supremely impressed. Well then I started looking at the MK2 range and found a used MK2 artist head for a very reasonable price. should be here tomorrow. Can't wait. Note: for my ears i have to cut the 16khz by -4.9 db using the graphic eq. Once I did that the amp stopped being a pokey fizz box to a crappy rock machine. If you like edge of break up tones try the crunch channel with the gain in the 20s, the master on full, and the channel volume to taste. so touch sensitive.
I use one for recording and live sets and its incredible
Hey Mike, try a Fender Cyber twin or Cyber Deluxe. The twins were like $1400 new, bought mine for $239 used at guitar center. Have a great day👍
Congratulations thanks for watching and supporting you won my prize Hit me up now🎊🎊
New subscriber here. I really enjoy your videos. Awesome.
Hi
Really enjoyed your katana MII head & cab review. I sold my Mesa Boogie MK5. Reason to heavy. I have ordered my cab and head and looking forward to it.
Thanks
I have 0 interest in pedals and the products he uses but Mike's storytelling feels so relatable. He's basically Rhett shull without the entitled boomer persona
Coming from a brainless shredder kid. Boomers created rock music sonny.
Get a red stripe peavey bandit… you’ll love it
Heck,I like this channel! Thanks,Hombre. We have a studio full of all kinds of tube amps but we will always keep a Katana head plugged into a channel,with BTS raring to go! Two make the best stereo rig. Cheers-
The katana is actually a digital modeler, if you want to try a solid state go for a Quilter. it is a one way ticket.
Hey hit me up right now👆👆you won my random giveaway prizes🎮🎄
Not really a modeler,tho.
Funny you post this because yesterday on Friday I got me the Boss Katana MK2 100W. This thing is stupid loud but I think yours wins lol
Congratulations your among my winners cheerfully send a message to me immediately to claim your 🎸
New year prize 📦📦
That amplifier sounds so good and clean and other sounds I've have a strat with Texas specials Ibarra pick ups again didn't realize what I had and pearly gazes wheuuu sweet sounds
I have a peavey 6505 (i know, different genre and all) and a boss katana air practice amp. And oh my does the katana cater to all mg needs at home. After a lot of practice amp fails, the katana knocks it out of the park
That Vox you had works wonders- gets you in the pedal game if you want those far out sounds. I think yours came with the green back- think Marshall 70’s sounds. The blue back is a bit more bright but sounds more like the old school Vox sounds- Brian may, early beatles, stones, pixies, Radiohead
Hey Mike. I really enjoy your videos format and your sense of humour. Best bang for your buck SS amp i have ever tried is to this day the Peavey Studio Pro 112. Found it for around 80$ used. As for a really amazing Fender tone from any amp you should give Joyo American Sound. I have found it really effective!
You have a great rig set up and it sounds good I use to buy from heritage guitar and now Ebay And Reverb
Oh yes Sweetwater has been the go to for guitar equipment I see now I have a catalouge and subscription
I’ve got the boss katana MK ii 100 watt head with an evh 5150 cab and it’s amazing
Brown is more of a hot rodded Marshall sound, think early Van Halen. I think lead has more gruff personally. Still man, those are some legit great tones!

Okay the Lizzy sneak in there!
Hey buddy, I have 5 tube amps.
1 Marshall TSL 60
1 Peavey JSX 120,
1 Peavey Original 5150
1 Fender Princeton
1 Fender Twin Reverb
and a few solid state as well
Fender Champ
Roland JC 90
Plus software like Guitar rig, Amplitube etc but I gotta tell ya
I have 2 100 Watt M2 Katanas
A 1x12 and a 2x12. I run them in stereo with the stereo expand and holy moly man, it’s awesome.
I spend hours in the Katana Tone Studio. Dialing in a killer clean with the Graphic EQ and the Parametric EQ is so awesome.
I’ve built a few high gain tones but the cleans are the best.
I just purchased a Richie Kotzen Tele and it’s easily the best sounding guitar I’ve ever owned and I’m up over 40 guitars in my life so far. The neck is big but I have big hands so I’ve gotten used to it and now really love it. I like playing my American Professional 2 Strat the most for feel but that Tele has a tone and clarity that’s truly unbelievable. If you ever plug one in you’ll see. It will floor you guaranteed.
I have a Pink Floyd shine on you crazy diamond tone that I built for the katana using my Strat, but when I plugged the Tele into that tone I was absolutely blown away
Great mic’ing job, sir.
I traded in a Marshall tube amp for a blackstar ID 260 and haven't looked back since.
Congrats on your purchase
I gig a katana every week. 60,weeks out of last 55. Never fails
But does it chug?
Love your excitement :D
Instantly got rid of my Marshall Jubilee for a Katana, never going back 👍🏼👍🏼
Such a great review. And this guys a killer guitarist too
Great amp. Good choice.
Getting harder and harder to tell if its solid state or not by just listening
Thanks!
THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN!
Yes u finally brought out the pink tele again!!
Congratulations you are among my shortlisted winners📦📦kindly Hit me up now🏆👆..
It really is a terrific platform. And I don't even own one.
Thanks
What song is Mike playing at 3:43? Is that an original (cause if it is, it sounded very nice) or is it a song?
Nice amp. Should get a utility next.
try getting a second one and slaving two together, good times.
Dude you have so much to learn. And I mean that in the best way possible.
awesome
I love your channel man
Congratulations you my giveaway winner you won my flying guitar🎸🎸 hit me up 🏆🏆🏆...
Hey ! Really dig your videos! You say you don't want to disturb your neighbours, but I see there is a Vox AC 15? 30? in the back... Do you use it at home?
That tele man, it sounds so good. Anyone know what happened to 357 guitars? There facebook page seems inactive and their website is gone.
I got a 50 watt Katana amp, i bring it to all my jams and its only 25 pounds, its easy to lug around.
I subbed when you started singing lizzy
8 months later. does it still float your boat?
If you can ever get your hands on a first generation Yamaha G100B-212 I very highly suggest them.
I got one in the 80s and still have it today
Incredibly clean, and versatile and you can get a very chunky sound out of them.
Just be sure everything is original especially the speakers
Congratulations you are among my shortlisted winners📦📦kindly Hit me up now🏆👆
Nice video I would like for you to compare the boss katana to the fender champion 100 XL and see which one is better thanks
Katana,by faaaaar
Why !
@@RFV1962 Boss Tone Studio
That sounds good but I’m not a computer buff. I’m 60 years old learning how to play guitar on my own for a hobby so I’m looking for a amp that would be good for me. hey what about that Vox amp that you have behind you in the video
@@RFV1962 Gotcha! I've used them all...Vox,Line6,Fender,etc but none beat the Katana for all around everything. Turning knobs and getting a good tone is easy but the BTS is for fine tuning. A Katana combo is less than 300 bones? I use the Katana mkII head,it has its own 5 inch speaker. Have fun,good luck!
I love my Marshall valve amplifier. But the Boss mk2 katana is on par with it. And for the price you cant beat it! I'm actually at the crossroads of what I like better. Tube amps has such a vibrant clean sound to them, but can be expensive to maintain. This might be the amp where I prefer solid state over tube.
I have the Artist Mk2 combo. It’s a fantastic amp but part of me now wants the new head and cab 😂 Here in Australia the combo can be had for half the price of the head and cab. Got to weigh up any benefits.
Happy Birthday Maestro Halen !
