Yeah you need to put the Master at 10 and control your volume with the Channel Volume and Gain knobs, it gives a subtle warmer and fat sound, but be careful when selecting saved channels on the tone setting section with the master at 10 or your ears will hurt for a few minutes (lesson learned)
I have the katana on clean and added the blues driver and of course the volume... Than you will have a natural brake up and it sounds fantastic with my mustang
You make me save the purschase of a Orange Super Crush 100 ! Thank you very much ! We can play with the gain/volume/master if the boost at the min is always a too fast or too prononce beak up and don't want to roll back too much the volume of your guitar with the pickup volume pot.
I need to keep telling myself not to record on full volume. Other than this, my biggest complaint is the Katana distortion always sounds like a buzzing mess to me. So frustrating
It's the speaker, the artist model with the waza green speaker is much better but best I've heard is a celestion cream back 75 H model. There are videos comparing stock speakers with others. Use good headphones or monitors when listening of course.
I have been asking this question a bit...how does the Katana (across the now 3 versions) sound which the volume/gain dialed to 10, and rolling back on your guitar's volume pot. I would love to see a more extensive video on that.
@DeadSensei8269 Yeah, my problem is I'm an Amp ho, with about a dozen amps, so I don't get to know each of them as well as I should. I need to commit to the Artist for awhile and get to know it better. I fell in love with it at GC, so I know it's very capable.
i reckon all the dials are overblown especially the bass mid and treble...but the speaker cant really handle the distortions either..so am currently running a zoom g3n on ms800 , dialed way up ,and the crunch with dials all off..mabye tomorro ill try the brown and the ms800 , but yeah ..mabye the speaker too new? its clearly not up for metal or heavy rock...but ill try your volume thing even though its about clean.
Yeah sometimes but in this case the boost was a little too much and causing it to break up too quick. Turning the guitar volume down brought it back to on the edge of breakup. And that’s where the magic is!
It's best to turn the master up and dial in the volume knob. Creates compression in a similar way to tube compression. Most people get this backwards, turning up pre volume and dialing back the master.
Boost can push the amp a little bit to make it break up into a slight distortion. Different frequencies will be louder too which will make it sound ‘different’. If you boost it and then it’s too loud you roll back the guitar volume to an acceptable level. Then you have the new boosted sound but at a lower level(without the extra distortion though)
I’ve found that turning channel volume up to 75% or more thickens the sound, then use Gain to finish the channel volume setting
Yeah that could work too, I’ll try it!
Dude the results you got are great.
Hack from Boss themselves. Turn the Channel volume down, put it on 100Watt Mode and gun the Master. Et voilà...Tube like compression. 😉
Mine is the 50W MK1... "gun" means what please ?
@@dawoud8013 Master on full.
@@dawoud8013turn it up
@@dawoud8013i’m guessing they mean gun as cranked. Like when people say “cranked” marshall amps

Heres a hack: use the eq2 on the boss tone studio and lower 12.5hz down about 12db. Helps alot

Perfect!
will you get break up too?
@@rickhammel9541yes
Can't wait to try this, thank!
Great! Let me know what you think!

So the legend is true !?!? i'll try on my Katana 50 MK1
Same as I used in this video!
@@dermotgrace yes it works !!! Thank you !

Noise gate
@@ShAdOwM0ZES I use the noise gate.
you are saying something very worrying..I just bought 100 mk2

Havent yet found those sweet spots on my Katana Artist MK2. I need to fiddle with the settings more.
Bro I just bought the artist today I fell in love with that amp that waza speaker is insane

@@DeadSensei8269hey bro!!!! Life sucks!!!!, I just received mine (Artist MKII), yesterday, and the Boss MF announced the G3 … bitchessss!!!!
Hey man awesome lick i just cant see what yer rhrowing down wanna break it down i love it and the tone tip i have it thanks man tim from london canada

I have the air and a Marshall tube lol. And a silver sky core
🙌🏻
Thanks!
wouldn't it be better to turn the master down instead?

God is that quiet. Geez us!
What is “boost”
That's a lot of pedals 😮

Yes but which boost?
exactly my confusion. What do you mean by "boost on", Surely, cant be an invisible button on the amp. xD
@@rubberbandlevin
@@rubberbandlevin I prefer the treble booster with the fender twin sneaky amp
Your playing lacks......
He was trying help people with settings, not audition for you, you delicate flower. WTF is wrong with you?
