I love mine.....it's like a wild animal. It feeds back like a boutique tube amp. I've never heard a solid state amplifier do that... Dialed in this amp is unbelievable. If anybody wants my amp they'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands. Yessir..... That about sums it up. I play with a drummer that trys to kill his drum's when he plays... He a lunatic. I can keep it on 25;watts and almost drown him out. They can hear this Little beast on the moon... It is sick. After 40 yrs of amps not quite sounding the way I want them to God put this thing in my life. This is not a beginner amp..... It's not a practice amp. This thing is the answer..... The undisputed heavy weight champion of the world!!! This thing will get you laid and it will get you paid.... On the same night. Be very careful and remember that your will still need eat and use the bathroom once in a while..... go outside at least once a month. You are to become an apex predator. If it's too much for you.... Walk away.
What's the recommended way to balance the volume at the speaker between clean and dirty channels? It seems like the dirty channels have a much higher speaker volume than the clean channels when all the other settings stay the same.
Exactly what i noticed with the out of box settings. The preamp is already down at 1/3 for the dirty channels, so I guess i can go the other way to get the cleaner channels at a more equivalent volume. Mainly i want to switch to lead but not blow the roof off and when switching back to clean or crunch for rhythm, still be heard well enough. Is this the preferred way to do that?
Would you be able to save Tones in the tone bank by holding down on the Tone Bank footswitch on a GA-FC? ie. I wanna save something to #2 so I hold down the #2 switch on the GAFC? Just curious. still getting used to the Amp and its perirpherals.
Just got the Katana 100. Great amp. Question though. If I am using say a crunch sound, with some chorus, there would be no way to implement a boost sound too, say for a solo sound? Thanks.
I have a question, imagine I set a channel one with some settings and booster, and channel 2 with same settings, but modulation instead of booster, and I'm currently in channel one, if I want to switch channel 2, does it works while the knob is on the left half? you know because the modulation is on second half, does it ignore the knob and will apply modulation? or it is just changes the Amp type? (it is hard to ask, I hope I could explain my problem, by the way I don't have boss katana yet).
i've been trying to access the second set of effects but the 'panel' wasn't blinking. i tried holding the button down numerous times but it doesn't seem to worl. am i doing something wrong or do you need to download the second set of effects?
The second bank comes with the v2 update, see www.bossus.com/blog/2017/11/22/version-2-update-katana-amp-series/ And there is now a v3 update available with even more improvements for the Katana
I have question about boss katana 100, I have it for about 3 mounts, and everything worked fine but suddenly I cannot connect my katana with any computer, it says that the usb device is not recognized, but everything else is working fine, does anyone else had the same problem as i have right now?
I learned more stuff from this video than any other one I have watched. Thanks!
I keep thinking he's going to say Austin from Boston. 😂
Missed opportunity 😅
0:05 dang it, i really thought he was gonna say Austin from Boston
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! THE MANUAL LACKS SO MUCH
This was really helpful. I have the Mk2 212 (just got it) and was wondering what it all means.
Is there a video explanation on how to balance the volume output between each memory channel?
This drives me nuts too! Settings at home never balance right when the volume is cranked up and other challenges...

Sales pitch of the centuary!

You should change the volume in the preamp. The preamp volume is saved in the channel the master is not.
Exactly what i noticed with the out of box settings.

I've just brought a boss 100 watt katana cn you tell me why I'm getting a bad hiss from it I've tried 4 different guitars ?? Thanks colin

Can we access both bank A and bank B with the GAFC footswitch?
Can you select the 8 channel presets with a midi foot controller.... I.e. Does it accept program control messages?
Any tips on settings to get the tone for Hendrix e.g., Watchtower and/or SRV famous slightly crunchy blues tone?
Tone studio will have Hendrix tones
@@lukebrooks5345 Thanks for the reminder. I have a Katana so it's Boss Tone Central.
Can you have FX and DELAY together without using the app?

Mike Dreucci check out the katana 100, my friend.
I have the version 2 of this amp. If I upgrade to version 3, will I lose the factory presets in the memory channels??? I like those... What to do?
Is there a way to create more channels than 8?

I believe you have to write it to the channel you want. Then go in and make any other changes and again write it to that channel

I have a question. I bought the 100 last year, but it didn't come with a USB cable. Was there supposed to be one included?
I don’t think they come in the box (unless I lost mine, which is entirely possible). I grabbed one on Amazon last week.
Thanks! Yeah, I wondered if I lost mine too.
No, the USB is not included you have to provide one
Thank you. Yeah, I'm sort of disorganized and I have a tendency to misplace things so I had to make sure.
No problem, I recently bought the 100 watt, and I am trying to get the software working myself!
My tone settings don't save after holding the channel button
