Title: Boss releases updates to Katana line - plus a new head!
Post by: joecool85 on January 13, 2023, 06:58:22 PM
Boss has released the Katana 50 MkII EX, Katana Artist MkII Head, and the Katana Waza 2x12 cab.

Boss Katana gear is widely accepted as amazing, and I'm sure this will be no different.  Pricing for the US has not been released yet.

It looks good, but.........not for me, if I can't make one myself from TH parts :-\ .
However.....If someone wants to give me one I would be one happy chappy. :)  :)  :)
(Happy Chappy is an old English saying and so is gay blade, both means a happy social person)
Just don't call a bloke in a pub a gay blade unless he was around in the 1930's.

I've heard these at gigs and not so impressed,, very sharp and too much bandwidth to really nail the classic sounds but the young ones seem to like this stuff.
I guess I'm showing my age here  ;)
I have noticed a lot of these Kats come up for sale on gumtree in my part of the world,, humm which suggests to me that they sell on novelty which wares off in a short time.

This is my take on it as well, but who am I to argue with the masses?  As far as new gear goes that I want to try, Orange Super Crush 100 is at the top of my list!
