    In a world full of worthless influencers, who just seem to take what they can.
    Dave, you have paid your dues over the years, you sir, definitely deserve all the goodness that is given and/or sent to you.
    As I’ve said before, your openness on mental health struggles is what makes me and many others admire you.
    And then there’s your guitar and music channel, you give so so much of your time and yourself.
    Dave, you are a true inspiration to many and show nothing but humility.
    You are a blessing

    I got my MkII 100 based largely on the testimonal and videos that you did (not _just_ you, but mainly yours).
    I *love* my Katana, it has been a far more significant guitar purchase for me than any of my actual guitars or outboard pedals; the first time I just played my fairly mediocre LH Peavey Exp through it clean, at volume, was a life-changing experience and made me completely re-evaluate my guitar itself, and my playing.
    They're great amps, especially if you get the Librarian or the Android app and dig into the settings a little.
    This is a great demo, loved it. You would have sold me on a Gen 3 if I didn't have a 12-month old Mk II 🙂

  • @lockharthorsburgh8601
    @lockharthorsburgh8601 19 дней назад

    This video is a fine example of why Boss want to send you products from the Katana range. I don't need a Katana guitar amp (I mostly play bass*, and occasionally mess around on acoustic and electric guitars, and the things with 6 strings only get played at home). Having watched this video, I want an amp that I don't need, despite being fully aware that it won't make me sound like Dave Simpson. It's not just the excellence of the playing (a given with your good self), it's the range of great tones that you're able to get in a short period of time.
    When you do your more extended test, I'd be interested in seeing how it behaves in one of the low-power settings (i.e. does it sounds good at volumes which won't upset the neighbours?).
    *My current bass amp of choice is a Katana; it's great for sessions in rehearsal rooms, it loves the small number of pedals I feed into it, and the 1-watt setting means I can plug in at home without getting tangled up in headphone cables.
