THE HYPE IS REAL 🎸 Boss Katana 50 MKII In-Depth Review & Demonstration

Published 2019-12-08
Welcome to this Boss Katana 50 MKII Electric Guitar Amp Review! The Boss Katana range has absolutely been blowing minds with how good it sounds, and I could not agree more. I was shocked when I found out how cheap this amp was, I would have killed for something this amazing when I was starting out.
In the video I'll be running through the features of the 50W model and will mess around with a few of the patches so you can see a wide range of the tones that can be produced from this stellar amp.
00:00 - Introduction
03:05 - Amp Features
06:22 - Amp sound demo
10:43 - Boss Tone Studio
One of my favourite features is perhaps the power level control. You can set it to as low as 0.5W for quiet bedroom practice and then crank it to 50W if you're playing in a live setting.
I'd say the only thing I'd want to see as an improvement is a smartphone app like the Boss Katana Air. Unfortunately to really fine tune FX you need to use the Boss Tone Studio which currently only works on PC and Mac. At this price point though, I'm not complaining. The tone quality is the main thing at the end of the day and the Katana range knocks it out of the Ball park.

Been playing guitar for 21 years. I've owned many amps combo, and tubes. Boss nailed it with this amp. I finally got it today and I must say be it worth every penny. It behaves and sounds like a tube amp. I've only been plugged in for 10 mins and I felt compelled to write this review. This amp is great for small gigs, recording, practicing. Also keep in mind that you can plug in another speaker and go stereo.

Just got this amp for a birthday present from all my friends that pitched in together... I'm blown away! This amp will be with me for the rest of my life. I've had it for only a few hours and I can't wait to experience everything it can do.
-
Sold my ps4 to get this amp. Hmmm. Yeah
-
literally just got this amp today, and in my few minutes of playing, i think i can say that this amp is perfect. cannot wait to keep using it. btw you’re an awesome player, love your lessons! :)
-
I always try to find demos where the guitars that I'll be using are used and this was perfect. Can't wait to get mine and start playing with it. Great demo and a huge thanks!!
-
You explain things so well Dave. Every question that comes to mind you have the answer. Thankyou so much.
-
It sounds quite versatile. If only someone would mention that "its a pro level amp at an entry level price"!
-
Very good review! I just ordered one a couple of days ago. I'm looking forward to trying it out as soon as it arrives. I'm going to be re-watching your video, as often as needed, once I'm hooked up to it. Thanks man!
-
Just ordered one 😁 the tones you did was amazing
-
Love my Katana 50. I've had it for about a year and use it to play at church. You showed me things I haven't found on my own in the Katana Studio. Thanks!
-
Nice demo but I feel bad for that xlr cable :(
-
I have the the 100-watt version and almost always use the 0.5 watt mode, even in live settings. It’s amazing how much power you DON’T need. The features and ease of operation are outstanding, making it the perfect gigging amp. I will say the acoustic mode is not that great compared to a dedicated acoustic amp, but it’s good enough in a pinch. Best amp purchase ever.
-
I run two of the 2x12 MkII ''s in stereo ..it is hands down the best sounding setup I've had in 30 years of playing/using lots and lots of different amps, heads, and pedals...this rig is truly amazing!
-
It really is amazing, I do have the mkI and it's a superb thing and it's a 50 too and it's amazing that it has a low price... Just love this❤️
-
Such a refreshing and professional demo, wow this boy can play. Thank you for not thrashing the hell out of the sound like most demos, they attempt to show off as to how fast they can make a noise???
-
Great review... everything and more than I was expecting! Thanks!
-
Such a great review, really explains the features of this amazing amp in under 20 minutes, great job!!!!
-
Thanks, man. Great overview review. You made up my mind. I now have no doubt this is the amp I need in my journey now.
-
my first guitar amp I got today. I though I was getting just a basic amp but this video really showed all it can do
-
Excellent demo. You pointed out some features I wasn't aware of.
