No argument here. Two amazing albums.

I heard that Tonex is pretty awesome.

YES! Very similar. I was thinking the same thing when I was playing around with it, but I couldn't remember the name of the song. It's hard to believe that album is almost 30 years old!

@@Guitarnivore Agreed :) The GEN 3 sounds more natural compared to the MK2. The Artist model especially.

The Artist has the Waza speaker which always sounds better than the rest.

@@Guitarnivore Shows how?? Is your point people never listened to albums for their sheer awesomeness?? We used to buy records mate!! Doubt you even own one!!

My point is most of the people that that are arguing that Back In Black should be #1 probably never listen to AC/DC outside of radio play. And I own plenty of records.

Why would I want to do that, so I can list all the same tired songs they play on the radio 24/7?

@@Guitarnivore You are calling ACDC radio songs tired?? Wow. I was referring to the fact several singles appear on one album and depending on where you are in the world some albums were changed!! Which ACDC songs are tired exactly?? I don't even know what you mean by that but it sounds like an insult to the band.

I'm referring to the same handful of AC/DC singles that get so much play on the radio that people, even fans are tired of them. Back in Black, Highway To Hell, You Shook Me, Thunderstruck, TNT, etc. I love all of those songs, but even I get tired of hearing them. The point is, AC/DC has way better songs than the singles. Every song on those first six albums (well, except Love Song) are great and deserve way more attention. I wish I could say the same for every album from BiB on, but those albums have one or two singles and the rest of the songs are simply forgettable.

I used original releases because why wouldn't I. High Voltage and TNT have totally different tracks on them and they are both great albums. The world doesn't revolve around the U.S.

Live albums don't really belong on lists like this, but that is an excellent album. To be totally honest, I only wanted to do Bon Scott albums. BiB and Razor's Edge are the only two Johnson era albums I can listen to from front to back.

At 4:04 you'll see it can only go pre or post foot volume or post reverb. So it can only go before the delay and reverb. You really aren't missing anything very significant from the Gen 3 unless you want bluetooth or stereo headphone output.

@Guitarnivore well, BT would be nice but not enough to be worth swapping amps. I did try to return my Mk2 as soon as I heard about the Gen 3 but of course that's not allowed.

Same here as I bought mine in late April. I'm sticking with it because I love it and only play at home.

I get it. Honesty should be expected, but there are far too many big channel shills out there being paid big bucks from brands to do reviews. That's not me. I make no money for making this video besides the miniscule pennies from ads TH-cam runs or if someone buys from my affiliate link, which is few and far between. Point taken and I'll definitely consider that in the future. I might even change it. Thanks.

"The ability in gen3 to separately save 3 drive pedals and 3 sets of knob settings" I'm not sure I follow what you mean by that?

@@Guitarnivore mkii. You can go and select a tubescreamer, rat, klon for example in 1 preset. The knobs of each pedal will remain identical, if they’re at noon, they’re at noon for all 3. Gen3, set each one how you want it in the same preset. Say you wanted a klon as a mild boost , and then as a cranked overdrive. Now you can do this easily.

@@AlecBourneMidiMadScientist Like all of the settings within that boost/FX or just the level? Because if it's only the level knob, that works the same way in the MK2. You go to Effects and if you cycle through the green/red/yellow, you can choose your boosts/fx adjust the level and write.

I think I may be mistaken on that. It seems like more of a preset level. But either way, how would you cycle through each one without physically pressing the button on the amp?

@@Guitarnivore all the settings within the boost section specifically. I am hoping you still have that gen3 and haven’t had to return it yet. I’ve been running the app for it in offline mode and it appears to me that gen3 now works in exactly the same way as your mod or fx or delay sections. You will notice in a comparison side by side. In gen3 you could set the cents drive to act like a boost with low drive, higher volume etc in green. Swap your selection to red and you can change it to a overdrive by upping the gain, and lowering the volume. In mk i, mk ii, all the airs, WAZA and Kat air. The drive section will save only set of parameters and all your red,yellow,green drives will retain the same parameters, ie, set everything in green to noon, everything in red and yellow are at noon and cannot be changed without affecting all 3 . This is being discussed in the katana go owners club on Facebook. BOSS support are looking at it to see about updating the mkii to work like the gen3 which would be fantastic. The only way presently to get this to work is to duplicate the entire patch editing the second drive parameter and switch presets, this would seriously eat up your slots. I have a method with midi to externally assign and save multiple knob positions using the midi patch app, it works ok,but it’s a fair bit of programming to send 4 knob positions at a time. Experimentally it works, but this would be complicated to share …

Depending on what kind of phone you have, the Katana Librarian app with a USB OTG adapter works great, but if BlueTooth is your main reason for switching, then nobody can argue with that. It is a great option despite the extra cost.

@@Guitarnivore So many times I've needed a teak here and there on stage and no computer to hook up by wire. It's usually too much gain or volume differences patch to patch but you can't just turn it down. That takes all the other etting upside down too. It's so easy to get caught in the gain trap...it sounds 100 times different that in my music room at home. It's almost not worth setting up at home at all. Appreciate your vids...I'l learned a lot. The EQ setting alone were worth a million. Other than that...I don't fnd the phone to be worth much on set. An Ipad has the size but you really need a good tone studio in BOSS bluetooth to make it work on set. Thanks!

I'd run the Dual Wreck right into the top of the amp and then try using the T Scream to just boost it without using any drive on the boost. Also, I find the best way to get good distortion from the Katana without making it sound too compressed is use the crunch amp with a fair amount of gain to push it over the edge of breakup and then use the T Scream, Clon or Guv DS to push it. Then play with the parametric EQ to really drive your tone home.

I found just about any well built humbucker will sound better than a hotrail. I love the humless option of using a hotrail, but they just sound kind of thin compared to a regular humbucker.

On your phone/tablet did you pair it with "KATANA 3 Audio" as well as the "KATANA 3 MIDI"? If you only have the Midi paired, you have to pair the Katana 3 Audio in order for audio playback to work. Midi is for the app and Audio is for the music/video playback.

😅 dang I can't believe i missed that. That worked. Thanks brother.

Holy shit. What are the odds!?! Cool name. When I named this channel Guitarnivore about 4 or 5 years ago, I just combined Guitar and Carnivore. About a year ago I found out that Rob Chapman had used the name before I did for some music festival in Europe or something.

@@Guitarnivore I've been using this as a stage name for more than 20 years, also on multiple forums, so I do have a background with the name. That said, it's a pretty logical mashup. :) Link to my tunes (audio only, so YT won't allow me to post it here) is on my YT channel main page, plus there are videos.

You could, but honestly there are a lot better deals out there now than these ones.

Only the settings on the amp as shown in the videos.

Glad it helped!

It should. If the patch doesn't work, download the sneaky amps for the base amp and then just copy the settings from the video. It's just clean boost, reverb and Parametric EQ.

What kind of issue are you having?

@@Guitarnivore signal chain flow for my board

Then you've probably never really heard one outside of the factory settings.

@@Guitarnivore I've used one. They just sound bland to me.

@@gearoftones8585 Sure. 👌
