AND THEN,
YOU TURN IT UP EVEN MORE...
YOU TAKE THE MASTER VOLUME...
AND IT'S F€%# LOUD!
hello guys today I'm trying out the Boss Katana Artist amplifier and as you
might have seen before I've already tried two different katana amplifiers
one being the katana mini which is a lot of fun, I can just sit you know
wherever I want, I can sit in the couch watching TV I play through this little
thing, I can bring it on tour stuff like that, I also made one for the boss katana
50 which is a smaller combo amp like this but today I'm very pleased to try
out Boss Katana Artists which is brand new and it has a couple of extras
that's not available on the boss katana 50 amplifier
The boss katana artist is a solid state amplifier
however the wattage is supposed to be equivalent of a tube or a valve
amplifier so for 100 W it should be really loud and what I really like about
when you look at it, it's really narrow, it's not really that deep and it's
really easy let me let me try and lift it real quick with one arm okay
oh it's not possible I cannot do it
but I mean if you stand up like this
it's pretty easy
oh that's my coffee cup back there
forgot about that
so yeah
wtf is that?
oh, it's a cable
for a hundred watt
amplifier it's very small I must say and it's a 12-inch speaker the waza speaker
so yeah I'm excited to try it out
let's see I need a guitar
okay
no sound?
oh
it's one of those amplifiers you need to turn on
and for this demo I'm using a Solar A2.6 guitar and this microphone is an Beyer
dynamic M160
BROWN!
okay let's go through the panel real quick, first you have the amp type and
you have five different ones to choose from, you have brown, lead, crunch, clean
and acoustic and the acoustic preamp is when you use an acoustic guitar
and then you have the gain, amplifier volume, bass, middle, treble and here you have
some effects,booster and modulation effects, delay, reverb and a lot of these
effects you can access if you plug in the boss katana artists into your
computer with an USB cable so you can arrange the effects the way you like
them and then we have the tone settings, presence, master volume and then power
control which ranges from standby, which I guess is nothing... that's true
to 0.5W, 50W, 100W
so if you want to push a little bit more on the master volume you can go down to
50W and just crank it up
just don't forget to turn down the volume when you switch up to 100W
then after that we have something called cabinet resonance and right now it's set
to deep
now it's set to vintage
modern...
deep
let's add some reverb to this
nice...
I guess you changed the mode of what type of delay you're using by
clicking this little button here but obviously you can also change when you
hook up the boss katana into your computer
put a little bit of boost in there
MEOW!
*moose*
okay so that's the brown, let's try out the lead
really lucid sounding I love that, okay let's try the crunch and this is not my
forte but let's just do it anyway
why is it that every time there's a crunch mode that I have to demo, and it's
just like I have no idea what to play,
I guess I just do metal...
that's just my thing why am I supposed to try out the crunch
part of an amplifier, I'm not gonna use it...
I'm just using the Brown you know to
play metal and lead and clean okay crunch is like f#€% crunch...
you should go check out rabbi...
Rabea Massad and his videos, because he
knows what he's doing when he's demoing. so okay if you don't want metal...
go check out his video, okay, good
and there you go that's how you get inspired to write something new maybe
that's a riff, who knows maybe you will see it in an upcoming song somewhere
clean
add some effect modulation
nice....
PAUSE!
hmm some leftover in there
I mean what I really like about the boss katana stuff is that you know it's just
very simple to get going and I think that's definitely like the winning
key for these amplifiers, you don't have to program it
you can still use the USB and hook it up to a computer and you know program it
just the way you would with any other programmable amplifier or pedal board
but I mean you have everything available here and it just sounds awesome
then you just okay I'll go Brown because that's just who I am right now
and then I do this, a little bit of this
*mumbling*
??????
and then you turn it up even more...
???????
it's loud, and you can't hear ***...
Carl-Johan?
my poor son is out there...
being sick...
and I'm just cranking the amp...
I just really like how simple it is and you just crank
it up and you play and it just sounds awesome out of the
box which is something I really appreciate because nowadays you know all
these new pieces of gear you need to take your time and really set your sound
here it's like ok you have one sound for
metal, ok fine, that's awesome, I like that, there's lead
there's brown, there's not two million different amplifier types, it's like ok
you have brown, you have lead, you have crunch, you have clean and that's it
I really appreciate that with this amplifier so yeah if you like this demo
be sure to check out the bo....
