As with any new amp, there is usually sooo much hype in the beginning. I wanted to wait until the honeymoon phase was over for the folks who had already bought one. Well, I waited and the praise for this amp just kept on coming. Right out of the box, this amp sounded HUGE. As you have probably read on various forums, ~25 additional amps and numerous effects have already been unlocked within the firmware. The Katana really cuts through the mix, and doesn't have the digital "artifacts" that plague other digital amps. I'm just completely blown away. Try a Katana, you have nothing to lose. Roland certainly hit a home run with this one.......

"Best Amp I have had"

I did a lot of research before I purchased this amp. I could have got by with the one speaker, but I wanted two. I was going to say, "for the price" but that is a injustice from where I sit. The tones and variations of tones is remarkable. The only other amp I would have bought is the Vox AC30, but the sound and price of this Boss was something I could not pass up.

Musical Background:

I have played guitar professionally since I was 13 years old. I am 67 now.

Classic Rock and the Blues gets me going. I spend most of my time in my recording studio having some fun.

I was a bit skeptical but gave it a shot. Great tone out this amp for a solid state amp. Great for practice and playing in band setting. Iv done both and this thing is really loud and clear. Most solid state amps loose character when played at loud volumes. been playing for 25 years. Have played through probably every tube amp out there. I'm not saying this thing sounds exactly like a tube amp. It has the character of it though. Well worth the purchase. Iv had it for 2 months and there are so many tones i am still getting out of it. Give it a try Boss really out did themselves.

This amp is amazing!! It does home volume extremely well, while at the same time can literally drown out a drummer if you want to. You can only use three effects at a time, and one of those effects can only be reverb.. The effects are quite good with the weakest of the lot being the reverb.. The chorus is incredible and the booster distortion models are almost perfect!! The feel of this amp and the power section are the stars of the show!! I have done a few patch demos and other videos on my youtube channel... Check them out if you would like... Hubie H is the channel.
