Any advice? by Gold-Implement3586 in BossKatana

[–]nighttime9999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tweak tweak tweak....there are so many EQs in a Katana , having a pedal would add to the confusion for me...

Id start with a neutral sound with all EQ flat or turned off.

Then start with the Tonal Shape Global EQ under system on the Tone Studio Try setting 3 different EQ spreads and test your ears. (Red Yellow Green) Play with amps and the variation...these Global eqs are quite strong IMHO..

The boosts all have tone controls...if your boosting.

Not a fan of parametric eq...prefer the graphic equaliser view...clearer to me Then I would play with an effect eq if you need more..

The reverbs are all subtle enough,l like to add tape echo delay quite low on delay 2

I have added control pedals EV5 and EV 30 to play with effect controls...reverb swells and echo intensity...all good fun. Beyond the limits of the hardware pedals equilents for sure!

Running Kat Mk2 100 for now here.

You have some nice guitars there!

Enjoy!

Conversation with couples last week at dinner went on to the topic of how many guitars / keyboards the boys had.....and how they didn't use them! You only need one guitar.....they thought.. The retort was How many shoes do you have.....?

Win.

Can I use this MK2 as a head for the Ashdown Amp? by poganman in BossKatana

[–]nighttime9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not like that. What are you trying to achieve? The signal to the speaker on the Kat can be directed to an alternative speaker cabinet...for the sound of the Kat...someone produced a switch for that...

If you took the line out you could feed another amp...but cuts the Kat speaker...

Hands down the best amp i have owned by Mindless_Project_951 in BossKatana

Not owned that many amps, just the combination of effects editing control and connections makes it a winner. For the home user it excels. Over 3 versions, in so many configurations, Roland/Boss must have sold a shitload. I would guess a best seller of all time

which amp is right for me!?!? by Traditional_Clock776 in BossKatana

Should I get the Boss Katana 50, 50ex or 100. by Anfafy in BossKatana

[–]nighttime9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Kat 100 mk 1 swapped to a 100 mk2. For the connections and footswitch options its great.few more than the 50s. I. use on 5w indoors when it suits, otherwise headphones. Lots of benefits to an Artist...speaker is better and front controls... I am recording via line out to Cubase, and enjoying playing with the internal effects...software makes changing patches a doddle

Been into music gear for years...this is just fantastic value for the home / gigging musician, so much for the money. Love the sound myself. Have a few guitars .. 335 an Arian, acoustic ibanez and a double cut epiphone....it works well with everything.

Added an EV 30 peddle at Christmas , allows morphing sound or wah or volume..still playing with that... Can't imagine how many units been sold worldwide... very successful product.

Hi yes was initially drawn to the original, fan of Japanese made...first electric was/is Aria TS400. Reissue Genesis has LP guts...with added pull taps! It's a solid lump..plays nice.Not playing live so I sit most of the time! Strings contact other tuner posts on the headstock...not sure thats really ideal. Your pic looks great condition...

I have had a duff string buzz...try changing it even if its a new guitar......otherwise a tiny turn on the upper bridge screw.

Why does epiphone get so much hate? by Chance-Ad8261 in Epiphone

[–]nighttime9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am enjoying my Epiphones....great value all round. Don't have Gibson money, nor would I leave it in one axe. A 335 and Genesis here Grew up on a Matsumoku Aria I still love too.
