I'm debating buying a second katana to run in stereo with my MK2 and I have a couple questions.

If I'm running another amp in stereo, does it matter if it's an MK1? Is there any advantage to a newer model if I already like the sound I'm getting in mono?

I also want to run a stereo effect loop from my HX Effects pedal. Seems pretty straightforward to run the left and right to their respective amps. Curious if there is anything that might prevent that from working. I want to make sure before commiting to a second amp

Hi all , I’ve had a katana for a couple months now . Im getting great tones with my strat however when using my Epi Les Paul I just can’t seem to get a tone I’m happy with.

Either sounds extremely muddy or too bright , I’ve tried dialling in my own tones and using tone studio however I’m still not overly happy with the results .

I saw some chat online about fiddling around with the EQ but being a relatively newbie I’m not sure what I’m actually doing . Can anyone recommend how to set my Eq? For reference it’s the Gen3 50 I have and the pickups on the Epiphone are probuckers .

Thinking of purchasing the Me90 for a more tactile experience. Can’t find out much about how well it works with a katana 50 which I currently own. Would a Headrush Go be a better option that the katana? Any thoughts or advice appreciated.

Hi, I get severe ground loop buzz whenever my Boss Katana is connected to my PC via USB.
Are there any USB isolators that actually work with the Katana for data and audio, and which one would be the best choice?
Thanks

Hello beautiful people. I've made the decision to buy an mkIII. Anything important I should know? Should I buy anything else to pair with it? I've also seen many people here complaining about their tone but there is always a fix. But why is the tone a problem sto often? Until now I owned just a Line 6 IV and never had tone issues.

I have been really happy with my Katana 100 Gen3 at home, sounds great in 0.5 watt mode, and also very nice when I wear headphones which I often do...

I have now been practicing with some other people for 4 sessions now and I just cannot figure out where I am going wrong, initially I thought I could confidently just switch to 100 watt mode and it would blast, but that was far too loud & shrill.

I have since been using 50 watt mode. The master volume is very sensitive which is not the end of the world but it sounds so much thinner at practice with very little if any bass to speak of (possibly because the master is so low)?

Am I just expecting way too much from a single 1x12 in this situation? I feel like the speaker could absolutely push much more air if it wanted to but I would need to turn the mids and terrible basically off?

Surely I must be missing something as I thought the point of the power modes with a solid state amp was to give me quite a linear response across lots of different volumes?

I've struggled a bit to use an expression pedal with the katana to emulate a wah pedal. I'm curious what other people do. What wah effect do you use? What do you assign the pedal to do (volume, depth, etc.)? Where do you put the wah in your signal chain?

I'm using a mk2 50 watt so I don't have an FX loop.

We bought our daughter an acoustic guitar for her Christmas last year and she’s done really well teaching herself since. So we decided to buy her an electric guitar for Christmas this year. It’s bought, hidden away for the day. She’s done some research and I’ve done a bit and we’ve settled one the Boss Katana 50. We can’t really afford anything more than that. My question is, and I know this will sound ridiculous but will it come with the cable that connects the guitar to the amp? Or do we need to buy that separately?

Thanks in advance, I feel totally daft asking this. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have a Mk1, and have been thinking about getting a Valeton GP50. I would love to use the amp sims, but since the Mk1 doesn't really have a normal "Power Amp" in, I was wondering if there's any way to use it just as a power amp, maybe with the Aux In or with a "neutral" setting on the preamp or TS.

Edit: forgot to mention I have the 50W

Just curious... been thinking of replacing my old Ampeg BA110v2 with a Boss Katana Bass amp; and I had been leaning towards getting the 110 model.

However a local music shop has a used Katana Bass 210 in excellent condition, and priced less then a brand new Katana Bass 110...

But, I'm also in a small apartment, with neighbors... and lower volumes, which my little Ampeg sounds rather crappy at, are usually best... and the Katana's 1w feature sounds pretty useful to me... as I dont do live stuff... I dont play in a band... I just sit and home and pluck my strings and do my own thing. I've got a few decent pedals; a Markbass Compressore, and an old DD-3, a TC Corona Chorus, as well as TC flanger and overdrive pedals and a couple cheap Beheringer pedals... figure getting a Katana Bass Amp would let me reduce some of my pedals, and still sound good at lower volume.

So is it worth getting the 210 and keeping it on its 1w setting for quiet home practice use, if you're likely never going to crank it any louder; or would I be better off with the 110?

Hi, I have the Katana 100 MKII and I also have the GA-FC foot controller.

I have some older stomp boxes like the boss super over drive and boss chorus but I can't figure out how to connect everything together.

Any advice? Many thanks
