This is as close to my perfect amp as you can get.
It just does it all and does it blooming well.
Huge thanks to Boss for sending me this for review and also to keep.
I found out after I filmed this video that they are gifting this amp to me.
Boss. Thank you and thank you POTT for watching. : )

Dave Murray vibes here Dave? Awesome playing
Lefty outro made my day.
I hope Boss realizes how many of these units sell because of Dave.
It sure worked on me! Thanks Dave! Mine is on order lol
I never get tired of hearing you play, but I need a full album of this Maiden-esque stuff you're doing!
Got some serious Iron Maiden vibes from the opening jam. Killer playing and killer tone!
Great guitar playing Big Dave loved it man 😎👍💯🎸
As always, thank you so much Dave . Listening to you play and explore your instrument is always such an amazing experience. Your Love of guitar tone matched with your melodic playing ability times your braines creative way of covering so much ground in one session is truly a beautiful thing indeed....So thank you mate....
Dave you play with so much feeling and soul,on top of being an amazing guitarist!..Its another level of communication for the soul!..Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Hey there from oregon U.S.. i have been watching you for a while now but i have to say this is one of the best intro solos i have seen so far. I really like your slower ambient stuff too, but this one in particular i could tell you were just in the pocket and feeling it.
I was dancing around the room during that intro. Shaking my heads frantically, arms in the air! Brilliant! Thank you.
Amazing video, and as always, playing of course
Dave, you are inspiring me so much in every single video. I love the way you feel about new gear, how excited you getting. Reminds me of me walking into toy shop when I was little. I couldn’t speak of excitement.
So good to see your journey and be part of it as well. Thanks for doing all you do.
Can I ask for one favour?
Can we have more videos please:) ?
Keep rocking
The best thing TH-cam algorythm have done this year is putting Dave on my main page, best discovery so far this year, love the content and superb playing!
Great video. Sounds amazing. Thanks for all the great videos and playing!

Thanks Dave, great review
What a review! For Dave to be so enthused about it means, it is IT.
Hi dave you never cease to blow me away far out
I own a MkII Katana Artist combo. It is the best Katana available, and is an amazing amp. I love it. If you are in the market for a Katana and at the moment only have enough for a 100, definitely save up for the Artist. It is worth every penny.
what is the difference between a regular katana?
@@theyannisschannel The speaker and you can run more than 3 effects at once without 3rd party apps. The speaker is the biggest upgrade though. It sounds night and day different.
Totally agree. I have it also. It has replaced all but 1 amp I had over the last 2 years. I still have my Fender Twin Tone Master Blonde edition. They are staying with me till the end. The mkii Artist is the best all around amp I’ve ever used. It has been way above anything I thought it would be.
Just watched your intro and I’m glad I went back to some your older videos. This was an amazing display of the artist head and what is inside of a true artist’s head to his hands. Thank you. I’ve just ordered the Katana mkIII artist with Bluetooth and foot switch. You are definitely one reason for my decision. Much gratitude… Rock On
The age has arrived when a valve amp is more choice than necessity. This achieves the edge of breakup/mild overdrive sound that solid state amps have struggled with, so far.
Great video. Thanks for making me smile when I have a streaming cold.
You've inspired me to try using mine on acoustic mode, something I NEVER do.
Me too, I set mine like Dave’s settings and it sounds great!
Mr. Dave the man the myth the legend. Excellent playing as always soulful and brilliant. Just got the mk11 artist combo hopefully i can dial it in and get maybe a fraction of the tones you are getting i will be a happy camper. Pure Excellence keep up the awesome work .
Wow!!! That intro🤯 Absolutely Amazing!
Just discovered you a couple of days ago. You are a blessing in my YT timeline. I'am a fan ❤
I just started watching your videos and I love your energy! I'm in love with my Boss Katana 50 and I gotta tell ya, this is next on my list of most wanted gear!
Great stuff Dave!
Dave I have watched many of your fantastic opening jams, but to me, this one was the most inspired.
Your playing is epic Dave ! Expect to see you on a greatest guitar players list in the near future .
O M G - Dave that was an awesome intro!!!!
Unreal ...as usual...Thanks Dave...!!!!..🎸🎸🎶🎵🎸🎸
Im glad to see someone who express impressions so honest. Of course I wish you babys with it ;) I have Katana 100 1x12 MK 2 and I love it. Push it Dave! 🤘💪
man that was a killer intro song Dave and that Boss Katana sounds amazing!
^^^ˢᵉⁿᵈ ᵃ ᵈⁱʳᵉᶜᵗ ᵐᵉˢˢᵃᵍᵉ ᵒⁿ ⁿⁱᶜᵉᵍʳᵃᵐ ᶠᵒʳ ᵃ ᵍⁱᵛᵉᵃʷᵃʸ ˢᵘᵖʳⁱˢᵉ
How you dialed that in gave me such an 70/80s vibe. What a cool sounding cab amp.
Dave,that intro,just so good!
Oh my, 4 minutes in & I’m breathless 😝 epic intro.
So Very Cool, "into the Breach" is truly Amazing. Thankyou
My GAWD, man! That opening song was killer! I got a kind of melodic Black Sabbath vibe from it. VERY cool!
One more smart aleck comment, then I'm out - "Hey Mikey, I think he likes it. " Lol! Damn that sounded grand!
It felt more like Thin Lizzy Black Rose to me. At least for the first couple of minutes
Just came back from the music shop and am trading up from my mkii 100w combo to the Artist combo. Presently there are now only 2 more available in Canada at Long & Mcquade anyway. Your videos are not only entertaining but inspiring and educational. Great to see you on the Telecaster…
Thos vid gives me so much pride and joy ❤
You are starting to accumulate quite the collection of killer guitars to go along with your killer playing.
You're the Best, Dave!
Love the intro song! Feels like it should be in an old school video game. A+
awesomeness there Dave
Fun video! I agree, I also love my katana❤! I would love to see you do a comparison video, a la “The Studio Rats” channel, showcasing three of your amps back-to-back, contrasting the sounds. Keep ‘em coming Dave! 👍❤️🎸🎶✌️
Thanks for the concerto!!! Bravo...encore...ENCORE!!!!!! etc etc etc
Great stuff, Dave. I traded my Orange CR60 for a Katana Artists MKII combo and I'm in love. Deeply in love!
Really a great chap
Awesome riffs.
Dave you were so inspired an totally on with this one. 🤟
Awesome opener!!!
Nice chops man, I just bought a artist MKII it's on its way...I almost pulled on a Orange but liked the features this one offers...I haven't played in many years but I recently bought two new axes and have the bug again...thanks for the post...
Dave, this is what I like. First some playing then the waffling 😉
I've been lusting for this amp. This video made my decision! You are my favorite player. My name is also Dave!
Best 40 minutes I've listened in a while awesome . I think the wife is warming to your playing Dave ,she just said he ain't bad is he !!!!!!😆
Damn Dave you are playing leaves me an absolute awe every time. It starts out I think that's really good and then the emotion start building up then the tears start rolling down my face and then the next minute I'm giggling like a school girl and absolutely amazement of what you're playing it is an emotional roller coaster that leaves me happy and sad and in true amazement You are my favorite TH-cam guitar player. I said it about your playing before if that intro we're just playing on a big stage by a big name it would be absolutely historical. Please don't stop
Damm that was amazing!
^^^ˢᵉⁿᵈ ᵃ ᵈⁱʳᵉᶜᵗ ᵐᵉˢˢᵃᵍᵉ ᵒⁿ ⁿⁱᶜᵉᵍʳᵃᵐ ᶠᵒʳ ᵃ ᵍⁱᵛᵉᵃʷᵃʸ ˢᵘᵖʳⁱˢᵉ
Damn dude, that was legit a banger intro.
Boss Katana is the best amp value since it was introduced. The new Artist head does everything.
I have the Mk-1 head. Totally happy with it.
I watched a video of yours a few yrs ago,and you were playin a marshall MG 100 head, "The old ones" So I have like 4 or 5 now,lol, I Use the clean channel as a pedal platform ,I played outdoors for a big crowd and got to use two full stacks, But these amps have not let me down and the tone is incredible, I have a 50 watt and 100 watt Valve Marshalls.they stay at home and rehearsel space mostly.Im curious about the Katana because it would make life easier.still getting to push air like that, . You have been a great help and EVERYONE loves my Tones. So Thanks for all your work brother you sound Great !
I dont think i would trust any other review of any katana amp. You know the katanas through and through. Great tones by the way, would love to have been in the room with you so i could hear it in person. Anyways thanks for the review Dave its always a pleasure dude.
You are having an ampgasm 👍😆 there’s a reason they are the best selling amp in the world , I’ve got an Artist combo . I use contour occasionally on the middle settings if I want a Fender sound. I mostly stay on vintage setting sometimes modern
That amp makes you play better...and sound better... awesome
As someone who gigs a katana combo and cannot escape it's vice like clutches, I really enjoyed this video.
Which katana do you have and how does it perform in a live setting with other tube amps? Does it still cut?
holy hell, SRV would have just smiled at that rendition,the bit starting around 16.56.
I know mate. If I closed my eyes I would have thought it was the man himself!
Yes, SRV would have smiled. Dave's like the enlightened student. He's got the SRV thing going for sure but he's got a lot of other styles going as well .(Malmsteen, Knopfler the list goes on) Like a great session musician.
I have the combo artist and have been using it as a head ever since I got a 4x4 cab a little over a year ago. I want the head now.... stereo Katana's🤯🤯
Into the Breach was great - real Dave Murray stuff coming through. One can only imagine how it could sound with Cici Steve on galloping bass and Nicko McJohn-Jo hammering the skins!
Playing like a BOSS!
My favorite amps, especially for my Strat. I use the 100 2x12 for gigging. Tone for days without fail and I've never had an amp I felt so comfortable with.
Dave you realize that fantasy sound is coming from you ! Any amp or guitars you play is You.
I've also realized that. Everything I play sounds like complete dog shit.
Finally, an amplifier as versatile as Dave!
That opening was badass,
I just picked up the GA-FC EX footswitch. Really impressed with the Katana Artist Mk2 combo. Been playing it a ton over my Fractal Axe FX and my assortment of pedals.

I've been quietly visiting your channel for a long time. Because of you, I am free from the tube amps have to be better than solid state amps ideology. I still think their great, but I love my Katana.
Niceeeeeeeee dave!!!!!

Ultimate amp for Dave? Absolutely!.. just a reminder you may need to build an extension for Katana 3,4 & 5!😮🤔😉
I'm not sure how you keep the scorch marks off your fretboard, because your playing is fire! ;) Well done, yet again. What a demo.
Thanks Dave. Every time I consider going back down the road of tube amps and boutique amps you cure me and bring me back to reality. The Kat, under your fingers, sounds definitely better than the weak link in my chain... my fingers.
I can pick up a 1x12 cab with a Celestion V30 for cheap. Would this be a good match for this head? I play mostly two sounds... clean on the edge of breakup and crunch. Folk rock, Americana, Pop, Country, rock but not hard rock. It would be for live applications - think relatively small club/bar with a band of course.
Hey man I love the katana artist range too and I would love your input on adding a 2nd one. I currently have an artist mkii combo and want to either add another artist mkii combo or get the new artist head + new 212 waza cab (for true stereo), or just get the 212 waza cab and use the 2 16 ohm speaker outs on my artist combo (for dual mono). Love your style and videos, keep it up!
Big dave Murray and janick gers vibe off this! Quality!
got an katana 100 mkll, and with the tone studio app, the amp it´s sooooooo gooooood i mean... it really sound sick man... that tones, that warm tone. don´t need to much for a quality amp :")
@ 26:03 I would be curious to know what that might sound like in the room in stereo link slaved to another Katana!! As always Dave, fantastic playing and feel!
Wow Big Dave’s back……
So Dave, I was wondering, if you had to select a desert island guitar and amp (You can only have one guitar and one combo or head+cab) what would they be and why?, love to see you do a video on that.
opening jam is awesome, has a bit of a Michael Schenker feel
Ive got the 100w head mk2 and its amazing , whats the main difference of the artist to my mk2 head? Apart from the buttons set up in the front which is just amazing!
I had the MkII head, but not the Artist version, with the 212 cab. It was way more than I needed for my application but it sounded fantastic. The extra features on the Artist are definitely intriguing, but again, for just playing around the house, it was definitely overkill.
I also never thought of using the acoustic setting for the pedal board. I will try that with my other Katana post haste.
I'm about to go for one or the other. I really like the fact that the model you purchased has 2 12s in it. I think I may go for that same model. I wish I could hear both to decide 😢
@@ShaDowMo5es The 212 is massively loud, so it depends on your application. Playing live or jamming with friends? Hell yeah. Playing primarily at home? Well, that's like having a Ferrari and only ever driving it in town 'cos you'll never use its full potential lol.
Also cool: both heads have a 5w reference speaker in them, so you can quiet practice without having it connected to the cabinet.
Good luck!
Rocks!!!
Gravy, thick, comforting, amazing, delicious GRAvY!!!!!
It would be cool if you did a review on the Universal audio Ruby. People rave about it in the reviews I’ve seen. That’s why I’d love to see you review it. I find you to be more honest than most channels.

Dave, I have a Katakana Artist MKII amp as well and I love it. You probably already know, but you can disconnect the speaker on the artist mk2 and plug it into your CAB. That’s what I do. Best of both worlds - use it as a combo or a head.
But, man that Katana Artist MK2 Head looks amazing.
I still have my 2018 MKI 100 watt standard Katana and I see no reason to use anything else, it has everything I need and it is solid.
Hall of the Mountain king anyone? Freaking Glorious Dave👏👏👏
Iron Simpson! Or Dave Lizzy? Good show mate.
one of the things that threw me off with the Katana artist combo, for my taste, was the look of the front panel. Some how it works with the head version, looks so cool!
Probably your best intro song my previous favourite was the ice ice Davey intro. But this beat it very halo 3
Back in the Village Simpson style!!
That intro was Head banging! Boy I miss my long hair 😭
Good to see you playing on a Katana again Dave 👍🏻 awesome playing as always.....im late to the party here but i just got my new Artist head. Had the combo forever so i know Katana well...
A little challenge i just thought of for us both though...you ever used BTS and basically got rid of most pedals with Katana? I have a few that would maybe have to be in the loop.... because its not a effect in the Katana but other than just a few ... I'm thinking tweaking the built on on BTS may show us we actually only need just a few instead of our boards??? Just a idea have a blessed day dude and enjoy 💯🔥🎸🎸🎸
Into the breach was amazing.
Could this be your new live amp? I thought this would be the best one for you for the exact reason you mention, get the amp itself + your favourite cabs.
I hope Boss let you keep that Dave.
@thedavesimpson Dude, killer playing. So inspiring. I am about to spring for a Artist II combo, but would you suggest I get a Artist II head + the dual waza speaker cab? Since you have both, is there any difference in functionality / Tone between the head or the cab? Hearing mixed things about this and decided to ask the master :)
Personally I don’t believe you can go wrong with either. I use both of mine extensively. Id say try before you buy.
