I am not sure if this gig was the right gig for the set up I was going for, I wanted to do the stereo thing, but not enough room. I ran Helix into Katanas power amp in. It felt different and didn't sound how I expected it to out front, maybe if I had more time tweaking it with the pa or front of house sound. Not bad, but not what I was expecting. what do you guys think? Also the Rona sucks and I'm tired of the BS. Hoping life goes back to normal soon... Also I played a $159 firefly guitar all night and stayed more in tune that most guitars way more expensive,

Seriously one of my favorite videos of yours because it was my wedding
I appreciate the fact that you use Harley Bentons, Fireflys and a Katana for gigs. You sound great, on video. Living proof you do not need to spend thousands of dollars on gear to sound awesome and get the job done...
THOSE ARE WORK HORSES I WONT BE AFRAID TO LOSE, OR DESTROY
You and the guys sounded good Rich. Used to do the same thing watching my gigs. Beat myself up thinking could of done something different. Screw it. The people had a good time and you have some good memories for yourself. Keep up the great playing. You are very good. Thanks.
Congratulations Rich, great presentation and great live sound. Over here always attentive to your publications. A hug!!!
A hug back.
Sounds like the makings of a fun little power trio!
The gig vlogs are my favorite. Looks like a fun time.
Yeah, I'm ready for gigs to come back full on. It's the reason I started playing.
Your lawn looks excellent.
I love this so called random stuff , gig sounded great, and it looked like everyone had a good time...... job done bro
Thanks brother!
I agree. Too many bedroom videos (not that it's wrong, but just too many when I search for live stuff). I want to see some live gigging with the Helix and Katana! Thanks Rich!
The argument rages! Truth is for the overwhelming majority of people it really doesn't matter digital Vrs Analog, Walnut body Vs Basswood, they cannot tell the difference! Why? Because Because eardrums are like sex organs no two are exactly alike and some are better than others, some are sensitive most are not! So it all boils down to what exactly it is that God gave you in the first place! Me? Digital wears on me, it gnaws on me until I am irritable and just don't want to listen to it anymore ever again! While good analog/tube amps etc. I can listen to all day long without fatigue!I I personally can't stand the radio, TV, Digital preamps and amplifiers and I've tried and tried but it's poison to my ears! But for most people they can listen to Digital all day long and obviously enjoy it!@@RichBischoff
...Thanks for taking me to the gig,my Brother!!!...I enjoyed the setting,but yea,can we stop and get a bite to eat?..."Play That Funky Music",my Brothers!!!...Peace...
I miss northern Utah in September... one of my favorite times of the year, when I lived there. Kudos to the promoter who did the right thing, even if it was frustrating. It's frustrating for _everyone_ but that's the sort of responsible action we need to see if the pandemic is ever to go away.
Agreed, I was just bummed because I learned a bunch of tunes...
Sounds great! Hope you guy’s stay clear of the rona.
Lovely sights in the intro. What colours!
The wedding looked fun, but darn that is a long day. The way it sounded on here, all the gear worked.
Two days transpired on this vid. Thanks!
That is beautiful. Father and son fishing. What a beautiful video. Great job man!!!! Lovely axe too!
What a wedding gig!! Looked and sounded great!
Thanks Rob, so glad live music is coming back a little.
I love the setup, thought it sounded good the way it was. I have the same setup with the Helix and was thinking of doing 2 of the Katana's for the stereo effect. I feel like though at the end of the day 98% of the people there wouldn't notice anyway... Come to Florida we have plenty of work for you here. Keep the videos coming brother!!
Thanks Monty. Stereo is just for us as guitarists. Haha. I just want to hear those delays ping ponging behind me on stage. 😁
Sounds fantastic 👍
Sounds fine! Nice solo on sweet emotion👍🏻
I want some cake ....
Sounds good man! 👍
Nice color on the firefly! Nice playing btw.
Thanks
Sounding good to me things will get better some day keep strong looks like a nice wedding day too.🎼🎶🎸😊👍🏼
Yeah the day turned out great.
OMG. The children are better dancers and have more natural rhythm than the adults. It’s painful to watch them. At least while jamming, one can get in the zone and ignore those on the dance floor. The Firefly guitar sounds great 👍🏼
Don’t care…
As long they have fun
we love our axe Well done nice sounds
Too cool you're rockin the Firefly 335 !!!
It did so much better than I thought it would.
GETTING stupid?? It's been stupid for quite some time now. The Firefly served you well my son.
Sweet Firefly!
sounds great man....are you mic'd up there or direct to PA?
Sounds great to me
I just watched sorry to hear I have that gig bag too will this ever end???? Enjoy the wedding gig we are having oct fest in my front yard next Saturday so should be fun drums and all cute lil trio too sounds good man stay safe
Thanks brother have fun at October fest!
This was a very interesting video. Look....I have a Helix LT and recently bought a Harley Benton gpa 100. I'm searching for a good 212 cabinet like the Katana 212 cabinet for stage sound and throw an XLR output to FOH. Hope you could do another test with Helix and Katana...
Rich, just a suggestion, but on the Boss tone app, there are high and low cuts and a global eq just for the power amp in jack. Might try playing with those a bit. I am in the same boat, wondering whether the Katana will be my best option with the HX Stomp amp/cab sims. I am still tweaking and maybe thinking of picking up a Headrush FRFR-108. I haven’t decided. The Katana is an awesome amp for sure though, just not sure if it works with the Stomp as well as a FRFR unit.
I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
Nice Rich! Yes, getting food is always a bonus at party gigs! (Is that an Arby's I see?! )
Sounded fine to me Rich. I assume you sent one output from Helix set to instrument level into the Katana and the second output to line out but with a speaker SIM added to the desk pa?
With the katana mkii, you can go right into the power amp in and keep you speaker sim on and it acts like an frfr cab. Most the sound you hear in the vid is from the PA though.
Good video editing Rich. When i delete cab emulation on Pod Go into Katana but leave it on for FOH speaker’s i get a hiss as well? Driving me nuts.....
Hey Glen I don't have a pod go, so I am not sure what to tell you. Have you tried a noise suppressor or gate?
Sounds good, I'd be well chuffed with that, my last gig was cancelled due to the latest UK restrictions
Yeah, it's getting old...
merry go round fleetwood mac....impressive @17:14
Thanks for posting! Did you turn off the cabs. in the Helix before going into the power amp of the Katana?
No, leave the cabs on.
Don't be so hard on yourself Rich. I thought you had a great sound. I know the feel when you play is everything but from the recorded sound point it sounded very good👍
Thanks, the more I listen the more, it doesn't sound to bad.
Rich, are you using high and low cuts on the Helix? I usually do 100hz-120hz on the low side and 6khz-10khz on the high end. The low cuts get rid of the woofyness (is that a word LOL) and the high cuts will get rid of the fizz. For the highs I usually just roll it back until the fizz disappears. Also good IR's help a ton. I like 3 Sigma. Still need too run the cuts with IR's but you can do it within the IR itself instead of having to use an EQ block. Also do your tweaking at gig levels. Sorry if you already know all this...
I am, I think just the way the sound guy mixed it and possibly just the pa speakers made it sound bright to me. I use ownhamer ir's.
Mr.Bischoff, do you think I could put some TV Jones TV classic pickups in that guitar? I’m not sure if they would fit.
Idk
Some really fun stuff here. I am curious. As a Katana Artist owner, I was thinking about getting a Helix or Pod Pro...however, since Katana pretty much does the same thing, why are you using both?
Running Helix to front of house. Using katana as more of a monitor.
Wondering which celestion u put in ur princeton , im gona do somthing different with a bassman head . Hav u tried WGS speakers in ky . Iv got 2 n like em pretty gd . Love the channel .
I dont own a princeton, but am trying to sell an amp to buy one.
Ok , @ 1:10 totally misunderstood , assumed tht was urs my bad . Princeton's are sweet tho .
@@tomfoolery2082 No, the guy that runs the store that lets me demo most the gear on my channel has that Princeton, that is the one I want when and if I can sell my Deville, Haha! I will be doing a bunch of videos playing through that specific amp soon, so you'll get to hear it,
nice
Honestly I'd say it'd there since at least the 90s
Never heard the Time To Cut The Cake song!!! LOL, copywrite it, needs to be a staple at every wedding.
It sounded good in this video and i hate the Katana. I had the Artist for about an hour and raced to return it. Still can't find a versatile lightweight solution
i love the bass players strap" We Do Not Consent".....this should be every rocker's slogan right now...hell , everybody's...if you know what i mean....where are the Rebels?...keep rockin
Yep. Outside gig crappy weather=firefly!
The weather was perfect!
Do you use the cabinet model when going into the power amp?
Yes sir
Firefly sounds great.......
Yes it does.
Hey are you using the Helix's amp and cab sims or are you just using it for effects?
Amps and cabs.
@@RichBischoff You said it didn't sound good. I'd wager that's because the Katana speaker has a regular guitar speaker, not an FRFR which sound good with modelers like Helixes. I have an HX stomp which I use as a ME unit specifically with my Katana.
@@SynZ777 Yeah man in this vid you are mostly hearing Helix right into the mains, I barely had Katana up, infact I think I just turned if off at one point because the sound guy had us loud enough, had it been up more, or on mixed with the mains it probably would have sounded better. Go watch some of my other vids, Helix into the power amp in of Katana MKii. ua-cam.com/video/dghU6ob7bN8/v-deo.html
Not being a working musician, but a hobbyist, I really enjoy your gig vlogs as I get to see firsthand what the realities (good and bad) of gigging are- so I hope you continue to do them. Also, was that a 50W or 100W Katana. I saw in a more recent vlog that you still gig with a Katana (weight/convenience) although you aren’t impressed with the onboard effects. Still the case? Thanks!
I like the effects. Just the distorted sounds in Katana I'm not a fan of. Would rather use pedals.
it seemed like the 50w version
Yes it was the 50 what version.
Sounded good,looks like everyone had a good time . I have a pedal board with an hx stomp on there with a few pedals, I’m trying to figure out a way to run the pedal board and maybe just a one or maybe a two twelve cab? I have used this pedal board through a small 40 watt amp and was relatively happy but I have never run it alone with maybe just a cab for a monitor? Any thoughts on this?
Get the blackstar amped one pedalboard amp. Run hx stomp into it then into a cab.
Hi Rich, hi everyone :-D I have a question, I bought a Katana 50 II due to its size and light weight for occasional playing in the cottage. Now I solve the problem of how to connect to the combo looper Ditto, Boss MT-2w, Canyon delay and chorus UC200. I haven't had time to try it yet, whether to connect the boxes in front of the main guitar combo input or to the power in socket. It's about how to tune the corrections, bass, treble when I play the power in input. Do you need another box, eg an equalizer in a row? Or is a correction on MT2 enough? Or do you recommend connecting to the main input of the combo to take advantage of the combo preamp correction? I do not want to buy other possible devices if it is not necessary, such as Orange terror stamp, multiefekt .. How to do it, please advise :-D (excuse my g. english).
Just go into the direct input on the clean amp channel and use the eq on the amp. The only reason you would want to use the power amp in, is if you were using cabinet IRs with something like Helix etc.
Thanks for the answer, they add, I also have a mooer radar, a Cab simulator, could it be used together with the mentioned guitar boxes? Thanx 😀🎼
When using the mooer, you'd go into the power amp in.
@@RichBischoff Thnx Rich 😀🎼
@@RichBischoff Hi Rich, please, for some advice, to the previous question: I have Katana for the occasional play for myself, I no longer play in public. I was thinking of connecting a Boss MT2w, Canyon delay, chorus and ditto looper + Mooer to Katana. We have already consulted that. Now I still have a problem to decide, I was thinking of returning the Boss MT2w, I can and would sell the other boxes. And instead he bought the Valeton GP100 or NUX MG300? What do you think, it will be better to make a small pedalboard out of boxes or should I replace it with Valeton or Nux for comfort. Perhaps the sound of Valeton/N would be ok .. Why am I solving this, because of the looper ..Thanks a lot for the opinion and health from the city of beer Pilsen in the Czech Republic.
At home, I have Kemper playing and recording through monitors ... and I took Katana on trips to my vacation cottage. I missed playing really loud sometimes :-D
Garter song ...Garter Country - molly Hatchet style
That moment when an outdoor wedding dance floor becomes a toddler moshpit
Hey Rich, it sounds pretty good to me. Guitar tones are great. I also have the Katana mk2, 100. I agree Rona sucks. I love playing music too, just want to get out and play.
Yep, thanks Chris, we all want this thing over so live music can come back full force.
Rich Bischoff true, musicians just want to play. In general do you like your katana for live settings, Any recommendations when I use mine? Thanks for the info
@@chriscaskenette Find a good clean sound on Katana and use it as a pedal platform. Thats the best use I've found for it.
Rich Bischoff awesome thanks
Awesome singing! You sound like David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.
Guitar sounds great, the dancing however. Seems like every one has just heard music for the first time.
This is Utah....
It’s early not drunk yet lol guitar sounds great is right
Proof rich you can make any brand guitar sing congrats to the bride and groom 😎👍
Ha, and my favorite part is it's Utah, so I'm assuming many (most?) of the people weren't drinking hah. It seems alcohol does, in fact, make everyone a better dancer.
Nice tight band Rich
Thanks Steve, 2nd time playing with them... ha!
Great video. Probably get demonetized for playing “Cut the Cake”
Nope got demonetized for another song on there... but funny...
Loved the big bulge in the dance floor carpet. Thought a dancer was going down for sure. I’ve seen a few dancers go down at my shows over the years and there was no bulge in the floor , so. Anyway nice to see you working a bit more again Rich. This is so totally what this Its like to do this for a source of income. Utah looks nice, much different from British Columbia.
Where is all the beer?
My firefly 338 doesn’t sound as good as yours. Wait a minute I can’t play that’s why! Lol
Ha! Come on now.
Was that a firefly??? I'm impressed!
Yes
@@RichBischoff As far as I know they aren't available in the UK but I'm curious now if they are sold under a different name. You know, same factory different seller type thing. My "335" is a harley benton but I wouldn't mind adding a firefly to the stable based on that.
I'm not sure, check out guitarsgarden.com.
Hey Rich, I agree with you. it sounded thin and fizzy to me, good but not your best sound I've heard from you. And yes, maybe more time with tweaking would help. But as you know, we don't always get the time to do that. But cheers to being able to gig anyway, not much is happening in Northern Arizona
Thanks, yeah I consider my self lucky to be able to get out and gig.
get a keyboard player and do a version of how long
be great. Paul Carruck
I have the Helix LT and the Katana MKII 100, I tried the helix into the Katana power amp in when I first got the Katana. I gave it good go, existing patches, created a new patch etc and NO!
I also have the power cab 112 plus and it’s night and day when compared to using the Kat as a powered speaker. Using the Katana with my helix made the helix sound dead in comparison. TBH my 12” EV PA speaker sounds much better than the Katana with the helix. However I think the Katana on its own sounds great, not as nice as the helix but still good. My advice, get a line 6 powercab 112/212 plus you won’t look back 😁
Thanks
Why is someone weed eating in the rain?
Sung to the tune of:
Someone left the cake out in the rain.
No Covid 19 in Utah seems like....what a beautiful country....thank god nobody died from this down there...
I dont know anyone who has died. They say people are, but I dont know anyone how has or know anyone who knows anyone who has...
@@RichBischoff move to a big city. You will know at least a couple. Also, took out a bunch of folks few smaller towns in rural Georgia when everyone showed up to an event where someone had covid. Spread like wildfire.
I'm good, I'll stay in rural Utah...
The original katana is a much better amp to have honestly
I didn't know if u edit a comment u lose the heart interesting youtube.
I rehearted you.
@@RichBischoff thanks lol it's fine just a learned something new about youtube today
Rich, your sound is fine but the whole band sound was awful. No offence, typical gig where I would have died of boredom and frustration. That's why I never gave it up and became a public servant. And, yes, I'd like some cake too! Love your channel.
Thanks, I think?...
What is it with bare feet in videos. 🦶🏻🦶🏻
I dont wear shoes in the summer. Just flip flops. I like pretending I'm at the beach all the time.
