Arigato Marty-San! Let's Goooooooo!
But the japanese Marty is Marty Friedman :o
Whaddup Boss?
Marty Music, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
thanks for the support!
@@MartyMusicyou suck anymore why don't you teach like you use to
Great amp for sure, Marty. I really have learned a lot from your Hendrix course. If only there was YT back in the 70s when I started on guitar. It is so much easier to get good instruction now. Thanks Marty.
Thanks for the casual play around with this new amp Marty! The bluetooth feature seems pretty practical for playing at home! Nice tones and playing dude!
That’s awesome, I really love the Bluetooth feature, that’s very useful. Thanks Marty!
Great demo thanks Marty. Literally picked one of these up today. Had a good play around in the store and was sold.
Looking forward to spending more time on it to get dialled in. Particularly looking forward to exploring this tone cloud for presets.
Agree on the acoustic amp too btw. I was in the market for a new acoustic amp anyway for the same price range as this 100w, so no brainer.
Thanks!
Hey Marty the Boss Katana Gen 3 amp has a lot of cool features. Sounds great too!!
And only a slight increase in price! Kudos to Boss!
Just bought one! Can’t wait for it to come 🤓
I love that Marty Backing Track Country Blues in E. I use it on Bias FX2 all the time. Really cool track. Tempted by the Katana Gen 3!!
You are a good music teacher.
If they had only added a looper it would've been perfect, but they did add Bluetooth so that's a win. Thanks for the demo Marty.
I agree it definitely needs a looper
And a tuner
@@markdouglas8073 you don't need a tuner. Use your ears. Train them.
@@garycastronova7939 Tuners are very useful, particularly in situations where it's difficult to hear your instrument or quickly cut the output, but it certainly doesn't need to be on the amp.
That’s an awesome amp I need one!
Dude they suck this is why you see them used in shops everywhere I also fell victim to the katana craze just do orange bro way better
Just got the Gen 3 Katana 50, and it's really good- great value for money. I think I may have to sell off my Tonemaster Deluxe Reverb now
I love trying to use my phone and/or laptop as a foot pedal to switch sounds!!!
Marty on Acoustic? That was SWEET and Great! More Acoustic jams Marty, Please, Pretty Please. Now I'm going to go look for Marty's Acoustic demos too. Excellent song btw.
Marty playing Faith No More?!?!?! EPIC!!!
That’s awesome, boss makes quality products. The Bluetooth integration is solid. Thanks for sharing Marty!
it's integrated after you buy the $60 adapter
Did you just call Boss' Bluetooth integration, solid???
You can't make this shit up, they should have made it an integral feature of the amp, not a CASH GRAB with that optional extra 5 bucks Bluetooth dongle that will set you back SIXTY BUCKS, wtf man 😂😂😂
Cant go wrong with a boss katana
It’s too heavy for a practice amp and small for a gigging amp.
It sounds decent, but of course if you are chasing the best tone, you’ll want the “alive” feel of tubes and you’ll find the sound and adjustability of actual pedals is more useful than the panel effects. Now you can tinker with the effect settings in Tone studio, but that requires connecting to your computer, and at that point, why not just use amp sims hooked to a cabinet or speakers.
@@manofthepeople2165Agreed on the tubes. Bought a Katana for Christmas & played it exclusively for 3-4 mos. It just drove me back to my tube amp
The cab resonance isn't new, it's on my gen 2.
the streaming feature is good
Nice, but I still like my Line-6 Spider IV 75-watts which YOU reviewed so well and did a Demo video. I went out and bought one because of you.
I have a 50 MkI and a 50 MkII, watched a ton of videos and thought I didn’t need a Gen 3. And now, dammit Marty, you might’ve sold me one.
I currently own the Marshall dsl 40. These are tempting for me to try. Do they stack up against my Marshall?
It’s a great amp guys get it
Hey Marty … which amp would you recommend for an acoustic guitar.. not beginner, but a notch up from the basics ..! 😊
Are your pickups Alnico Pros or you swap them? If you swap them, what pickups are those? I love your videos!
I just got the 100w mkII will have to return to get this new gen which to my ears sound like a big improvement in tone quality which is not that rich in the mkII. Might even get the gen3 artist version.
How would this amp sound for a dark jazz tone using a hollow body, going for a Wes or Benson type of thing? It seems like the headroom is there for that and with the right kind of guitar, I'm guessing it will do it.
I’m waiting for the Gen 4 version, or maybe the 3 version 2
I had a gen 2 and I liked it but didn’t keep it. I was using it as an amp for when I wanted to practice in the living room but I ended up going with the Spark 40 because it fits in that environment better. They are good amps, I am sure this is a modest improvement over the last gen.
I have a 100 mkii but use my Spark Mini more often as I find it easier to get good tone at home volumes. Might sell the Kat.
Marty please teach us Richard Starkeys new tune “Gonna need someone” ringo sounds fantastic
Hi Marty,have you tried the new Bad Cat amps?
I have the MK1 100 watt . But my next amp will be a Marshall again because I noticed that the patches we make are not usable on a Mk2 or backward compatible.
I am still happy with the MK1 because i tread it like a normal amp and i make my own patches ..
So actual i say it could be better if the patches where compatible with all the models .. Like I have the MK1 bought on the moment when the Mk2 came few weeks later ..
And the MK2 patches dont work on the Mk1 and so it will be with the Ver 3 ..
Is that bloom button only in 100W head, but not in combo?
Is there an app or gonna be one for android?
Is there a Gen 3 212 coming out cause if so I wanna get my hands on one 😂
yes i just checked
@@tikkitofficialsame I just need to find a way to justify the price 💀
I don’t know. I have a gen 1 50w combo and I love it. I just don’t see anything here that makes me feel the need to upgrade. Sounds great if you haven’t bought one yet, though.
From what I have heard so far I think the last version sounds better.
Can you show how the patches work? Is it app based like the positive grid spark?
Yes it’s an app. Before tho you had to use your computer to hook it up but now it has blue tooth so you can use the app on your phone
great review. I am about to get a Katana, and having a problem deciding on the 50 or 100. The 50 has NO effects loop, the 100 does. Is the 100 too much power for a smaller room/office?
What do you think?
Both the 50 and the 100 allow you to step down the power to 0.5w which is what most people stick with for small room playing. The 100w will sound much better at 0.5w than the 50, however.
@@Exempt7 Hello..thanks for that...never thought about that. My only issue w the 100 would it be too loud even using the 50watt setting in a room? any thoughts?
@@paulmiller780 I don't have one (yet) but I've done extensive research on the subject and literally everyone online is saying the 100 set to 0.5 watts is both fully toned and also quiet enough for room/office settings.
It's really nice. I just can't get a new amp.
My nephew has one & it is an awesome amp, big bang for your money.
@@rayross997 I have the Blonde Tone Master Deluxe Reverb and the Supro 1wtt Delta King 8. Both are amazing. But I get it. I was close to getting the Katana, but the was nudged out by by the amps I bought.
SIR MARTY, I'm a huge fan man I may be young but I know how to play... kinda. But I would LOVE I you could share a Tutorial on "Blackjack Davey"-By Bob Dylan. I loved what my brother played it for me but he can't show me how so PLEASE PLEASE make a video on it. THANK YOUUUU
I’m looking forward to buy Boss Katana amp and I don’t know if I should pick up MK50 or MK100? What’s the difference between watt power?
50 watts
I have the 50 watt and it still sounds great and works well with all my pedals
Loudness, mostly, although i do believe the 100 has a few more effect knobs. I have a 50, and I honestly just keep it in the 25w mode.
Boss should be very happy with Marty's demo of the changes to this amp.
Can I get one with the cool Marty sticker on it ?
Do you put the looper pedal in the effects loop?
Yes.
i just googled a bit and it seems like the bluetooth feature is actual an addon you have to buy extra?
Correct - I'm going to make a short about it soon! Check it out here: amzn.to/3USs1eu
Hey Marty, Gen 3-50, only 4 patches? My 50 ex has 8.
Wish you could trade in the MKII for the MKIII. I use a WidiHost and my KatanaLibrarian app to control the MKII.
Now, if they can only add a tube, Gen 5. It will eventually come around.
I tried the boss katana mk2 100 watt in a music store and it dissapointed me a lot.
It went to a loud peep sound everytime i didn't play.
And the amp didn't have a great distortion for me, there also wasn't any staff in the store that could help me.
It made a very negative experience for me trying the boss katana
I hope the boss katana gen 3 is better maybe
Gotta set it to 100w crank the master and the other volume lower
Is that the 50 or 100?
Can you teach us how to play strange people by the doors
line 6 catalyst sounds better for cheaper IMO, The Bluetooth function is a win tho.
Marty can you please cover some RORY GALLAGHER?! "The greatest guitarist you've never heard of"
🤗
Here is food for thought, parallel setup with one channel tube and the other solid state. Dry on tube and stereo effects on SS. Output of 200 watts of wet, dry, wet and a cab with 10x12x10. Katana Gen 10.
HELLOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Did you mention you have to buy a 50 dollar adapter so they can get Bluetooth?
Mmmmm!!
I’m not overly convinced about it, sounded just like different levels of digital fuzz.
Think I will stick with my Fender Mustang ll
If you tell me it still doesn’t have an app ….
There is an app! apps.apple.com/us/app/bts-for-katana-gen-3/id6477823493
HI THERE MARTY DID YOU GET THAT POEM AND HAVE YOU
FORWARD IT TO GRACE BOWERS..IF YOU HAVE SEND A HEART SO I KNOW SHE GOT IT. I GAVE HER ONLY HER THE
COPYRIGHT OK.
BACK IN 2006 BRIAN WILSON CAME UP TO ME AND
INTRODUCED HIMSELF TO ME. I KINDA KNOW WHY BUT
NOT THEN. OVER THE YEARS MET SO MANY MUSICAL
ENTITIES YET BRIAN KNEW AND WANTED TO SHOW
RESPECT.
AH BUT THAT'S ONE OF THINGS THAT HAPPENED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IF YOU SEND THAT TO
GRACE.
Nothing against Marty but, jebus, this amp sounds absolutely horrific.
I have a MkII Head and it sounds a lot better than this, but I did have to dial out a lot of fizz and other unwanted overtones using the Global EQ. So I am guessing Marty just used this one out of the box, and therefore has not got the best from it.
But, going on this demo alone, I'm not going to be upgrading my MkII to a Gen 3!
Nothing against Marty . But im getting tired that all big companies now own most youtube influencers. Ad TV anno 2024... honest opinions about gear is hard to find . And are getting destroyed by the yt algoritm...😢
You can’t go wrong with a Katana (?)
@@001USA001if i would start out . I probarly would be buying a katana aswell lol
Guys like Marty wouldn’t promote or use the Boss Katana if it wasn’t a great amp. Plus it’s hard to find a bad piece of gear these days, if everyone says it’s good, then it most likely is, even if they are sponsored.
I like how you just assume someone magically is just going to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on gear just to give you an honest, unbiased review because they do this purely for you and not for their own profit. You realize people that review gear are a business. Use your ears and find gear you like. Only take any review with a grain of salt.
@@greysuit17 offcourse i get that. It would do it 2 without hesitation but you can clearly see a big brand like boss just contacts all these influencers pay them and manupilates the viewer. Im certain alot of people have bought the wrong ***t because 12 influencers told them "the search for the best od was over". There should be a watermark on the video saying AD the whole time.. i just hate when these big corp business buy everything up.
Lol wth?? I've got53 axe's 8 amps why not another amp or guitar ...or hell both🎉🎉🎉
Pushed sounded awful! Buzz saw?
Not the best review…. Tone wasn’t good…
Still no Bluetooth(included at no extra cost like EVERY other solid state amp being offered)? No reason to upgrade.
It has Bluetooth
@MartyMusic I think they're saying that it's not included, like other amps have built in with the "stock" model, not an upgrade.
yep, $60 extra for the adapter
yes sir, you can make a lot of nasty noise with amplification.
This is a different demo, that's for sure. Those interested in hearing the new "pushed" model as most people would use it should look elsewhere. Here it is played with gain way up making it sound more like an amp with a RAT in front than an amp at the edge of breakup.
I’m not buying any kind of amp pc friendly !!! Mine blew out because of a silly software bug ! Wtf
Thanks!
