Superb demo! Really shows the potential of this combo. With just a USB cable, it changes everything. Just have a laptop at the gig and you can access to tons of sounds. I just ordered one and should have it in a few days.
Not sure mate, the 50 EX Katana might have a loop or a preamp cut (?) saw something on a different channel, near 99%+ that's what l heard... But, don't quote me on that!
@@littlespaceman Thanks for clearing that up mate, l watched something that claimed you cd bypass the preamp (?) for people with pedals, which wasn't on the 50 before. I've probably thought theyve added a loop
@@baabaabaa-ElThere's a 'Power Amp In' jack, which this video actually shows briefly in the beginning. But that's not an Effects Loop, of course. I think there's something about the digital sound processing in the preamp that prevents them from creating a loop.
@@DerpRulesAll Thanks mate, l saw it briefly on another channel and they were putting valve preamp pedals into it. As it was more about the pedals, l didn't know what it cd do. Appreciate it.
Wow Brett that sounds pretty good. I'm interested in your feelings on the combo speaker cab? A lot of Tubers say they prefer the head into like a Celestion or similar speaker/cab.
It's an excellent combo, I have an older version of the MkII., very satisfied. I believe that the new version, even according to your excellent presentation, will be great. Greetings Pavel CZ.👍👍👍
No, still 8 presets as far as I know. Another oversight for an update of this magnitude sadly. Although an easy fix with a firmware update if Boss ever decide they want to do that
I've got to say I ❤ your playing! Do you have any music released? I watching another TH-cam player and he didn't like the Katana but with your tone I don't know how? Cheers 🎉
Hi Brett, can I ask a question about the line out parameters that you can adjust in Tone Studio? I'm just wondering, do you here the results of those tweaks from the amps speaker or just through the USB?
Would the 100 watt Katana Gen 3 work good for a preamp with a fractal FM3 plugged into the effects loop? Looking for an amp and cab to use with my FM3 for at home or to bring to friends as computer monitors are not doing it for me . Plus two Katanas maybe for stereo lol . Or is their a 2x 12" small power cab available that sounds good with moddler gear?
Hard for me to tell from a TH-cam video. I bought my blues cube hot after owning both the 50 and 100 watt mk2 katana’s. That was 3 years ago and I still use my blues cube everyday. The katana’s are cool with all the effects built in but the Roland’s just sound better to my ear. I wouldn’t mind a comparison of the 2. Still think I’d go with my blues cube. Cheers
I have the original 50 and I see no reason here why I would want to upgrade. Want more excellent tones? Throw a cheap JOYO American Sound in front of the clean setting and away you go.
You must be deaf 😂 or just saying it's the same as mark 1 and 2 because you not got one yourself . Makes no sense to release a new model to be worse than the last . Bit silly don't you think
Yes a great soundig amp great for the modern player k have mk 1 50 very light on the esrs appreciate feedback on my 2nd post an original neoclassical guitar instrumental with handrawn artwork
Love ya man ...Burgs your a great help to musicians lots of great subjects always learning ...As a Roland lover and boss products since 1972....Quality built tuff and reliable ..But I'm actually disappointed the still haven't put effect sends and returns on the 50watt katana series I quit touring years ago but I wanted a katana.... actually 2 running in stereo with my pedal collection ....and I have about 40 and always looking to add but thats forced me to look at the catalyst And the Black Star debut 50 so I wish more felt this way and they might consider it as a valuable product addition .. ....funny i bought one of the first roland jupiter 4 keyboards the second they hit the US market As I did the arp odyssey .....I've been around the block a few times .....Maybe you could pass this suggestion on in your talks with Boss sometime Keep up the great works you do About 10years watching your channel ....HAGD ......👍👍👍👍💯✝️🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲☮️
Charging extra for the Bluetooth adaptor is a cheap cash grab when many other amps have had it as standard for many years. For those mainly wanting to control from the amp alone they could have also included a small led screen like on the katana Go headphone amp.
Thanks!
I have 50 MkI and 50 MkII, and a couple of months ago got Gen 3 100w head. Loved Katana for years. Total bang for your buck!
I always come to your channel for the best sounding and most useful demos thanks again!
Brett Kingman. KING of tones. 😃👌👍
Man, your sounds-and playing- are always great and like a million bucks! Gorgeous, Brett!
Superb demo! Really shows the potential of this combo. With just a USB cable, it changes everything. Just have a laptop at the gig and you can access to tons of sounds. I just ordered one and should have it in a few days.
Beautiful playing especially @8’22” with the tone and volume swells 👏🏻 Been an admirer for some time 👍🏻
Finally, some convincing Fender and Vox low-gain tones from Katana! Wish it had XLR out and FX loop like the Line 6 Catalyst 60, though.
Not sure mate, the 50 EX Katana might have a loop or a preamp cut (?) saw something on a different channel, near 99%+ that's what l heard...

No loop on the 50 EX - a major oversight for this update IMHO

I love your playing and channel!
Pretty impressive, that 'Pushed' both versions near worth entry level..
Gold as always Burgs!👍🏼
you're a wealth of knowledge and a great sounding string mangler. cheers mate.
Many players are not well known but inspire none the less. Thanks so much.
Top notch review, as always!
Beatiful Tones, you are a master of Tones man! Great, and thank you! Cheers from BOSS Brasil!
Great playing dude!
i like the sounds you're dialing in
My spark amp died this week, so this is a perfect replacement I think 🤔 great review Brett.
Best review channel thanks
Chart is very helpful! 🔥
The Amp already sounds like a record recording. Nice🎉
Great explanation ! Thanks !
As usual : huge feeling of playing.
Phil from Dunkirk
Great playing on the intro there buddy. 😎🤓
Wow. Sounds amazing! Might have to try it out 👏
Wow Brett that sounds pretty good. I'm interested in your feelings on the combo speaker cab? A lot of Tubers say they prefer the head into like a Celestion or similar speaker/cab.
Nice tones there mate
Thanks 🫡
Hopefully Boss will send you a 100w head to review. Pretty sure the new voicing will sound sick into a traditional 4x12.
75% of sound was fingers Brett's) so, Brett was awesome
Why 75%? Why not 74 or 76%?
Why attribute a percentage to something you can't even measure? 😂😂
It's an excellent combo, I have an older version of the MkII., very satisfied. I believe that the new version, even according to your excellent presentation, will be great. Greetings Pavel CZ.👍👍👍
Gad to know Boss is refreshing its lines with USB-C. Micro A on Zoom and USB-B in Roland are a pain to plug in without looking or damaging.
Does the pushed hiss?
To access all the presets, you have to hook up your phone/computer?
Question: when using laptop via usb c, can the setup be saved on the combo independent of the laptop?
Does anyone know if the extra $80 (aud) is worth it for the EX version of this amp vs the standard gen 3 50w ?
Boss is very innovative 😂 but your reviews are always good 👍 Maybe generation 6 will bring something really new 🤓
If I missed it, please forgive me, does the 50 give you drag and drop in the signal chain in Tone Studio?
Meet the new Boss. Same as the old Boss!
Great demo! I have the 100 Watt MK II which can hold 8 presets. Can I store more presets on the newer Gen 3 model?
No, still 8 presets as far as I know. Another oversight for an update of this magnitude sadly. Although an easy fix with a firmware update if Boss ever decide they want to do that
@@littlespaceman Okay, thank you for responding to my email.

Can you make the thing wawa with expression pedal?
I just bought this amp the other day. I don't know if I am going to keep it or go with a Catalyst 6 line 100
Supports EV-1-WL wireless midi expansion pedal?

Does this supercede MK 11?
What do you think vs blues cube hot?
Hard for me to tell from a TH-cam video. I bought my blues cube hot after owning both the 50 and 100 watt mk2 katana’s. That was 3 years ago and I still use my blues cube everyday.

TOP!
hi Brett, man
I have the original 50 and I see no reason here why I would want to upgrade. Want more excellent tones? Throw a cheap JOYO American Sound in front of the clean setting and away you go.
I dig their AC Sound in front of mine, but I’m with you!
Amen to that...marketing marketing
Some of the upgrades are nice but I don’t hear a big enough difference tone wise compared to my Mkii. Sounds almost the same.
For status :)
It really doesn't sound any different than the Mark I or Mark II. I see there's a 'Power Amp In' jack, and they upgraded the USB, though.
You must be deaf 😂 or just saying it's the same as mark 1 and 2 because you not got one yourself . Makes no sense to release a new model to be worse than the last . Bit silly don't you think

Still no effects loop on the 50 watt version 👎🏼
