    I own a MkII Katana Artist combo. It is the best Katana available, and is an amazing amp. I love it. If you are in the market for a Katana and at the moment only have enough for a 100, definitely save up for the Artist. It is worth every penny.

      Totally agree. I have it also. It has replaced all but 1 amp I had over the last 2 years. I still have my Fender Twin Tone Master Blonde edition. They are staying with me till the end. The mkii Artist is the best all around amp I’ve ever used. It has been way above anything I thought it would be.

    I had the MkII head, but not the Artist version, with the 212 cab. It was way more than I needed for my application but it sounded fantastic. The extra features on the Artist are definitely intriguing, but again, for just playing around the house, it was definitely overkill.
    I also never thought of using the acoustic setting for the pedal board. I will try that with my other Katana post haste.

    • @astewart9410
      @astewart9410 11 месяцев назад

      @@ShaDowMo5es The 212 is massively loud, so it depends on your application. Playing live or jamming with friends? Hell yeah. Playing primarily at home? Well, that's like having a Ferrari and only ever driving it in town 'cos you'll never use its full potential lol.
      Also cool: both heads have a 5w reference speaker in them, so you can quiet practice without having it connected to the cabinet.
      Good luck!

And if you have the GA--FC foot controller you can turn on and off MOD, Delay, Reverb and stack them with your ZOOM FX....Ton's of fun. Enjoy. Cheers!

    Thanks Dave. Every time I consider going back down the road of tube amps and boutique amps you cure me and bring me back to reality. The Kat, under your fingers, sounds definitely better than the weak link in my chain... my fingers.
    I can pick up a 1x12 cab with a Celestion V30 for cheap. Would this be a good match for this head? I play mostly two sounds... clean on the edge of breakup and crunch. Folk rock, Americana, Pop, Country, rock but not hard rock. It would be for live applications - think relatively small club/bar with a band of course.

    A little challenge i just thought of for us both though...you ever used BTS and basically got rid of most pedals with Katana? I have a few that would maybe have to be in the loop.... because its not a effect in the Katana but other than just a few ... I'm thinking tweaking the built on on BTS may show us we actually only need just a few instead of our boards??? Just a idea have a blessed day dude and enjoy 💯🔥🎸🎸🎸
