In April 2015 I was honoured to have the president of Boss/Roland Yoshihiro Ikegami visit me in my flat in Brighton for a chat/consultation.

He wanted to ask if I had any suggestions/feedback or ideas for products they could make which was awesome!

I suggested exactly the same thing I told Boss's designer Kosuke Takata when he asked to meet me in 2013 - make a Roland cube head, but simplify it and bring it out under the Boss brand.

I wanted a fuss free, zero "Option paralysis" design which would work perfectly at home or as a dependable pro touring back up.

I am pleased to say that the new Katana range is exactly this and I am proud to have played a very small part at the beginning of its conception.

I am not endorsed by Boss or in any way affiliated to the product, just honoured to have been a small part of the story.

"You can have any Boss pedals you want in it"

55 Metal Zones. All controls set to 10. :P

[squatchjosh]

23 seconds is a very specific number to give Lee, very specific.

[CJ_YT.]

Never saw myself coming back to these for nostalgia lol, watched them all the time in college

[Rafael-oowh]

Me: *Looks to upgrade amp*
Me: *Sees good guitarist on youtube review amp*
Me: *Buys amp*
Me: *Still sounds like crap*
Me: *looks to upgrade amp*

Fun drinking game: take a shot every time Rob does a 12th fret bend.

I like how the Captain stares lovingly at Rob as he plays. Such a lovely couple.

Just had my katana 100w combo delivered - Sounds even better than I hoped for! and it can go fing LOUD! if you want it to! Bedroom levels for me are about 8 o'clock max on the 50w setting - and about 11-ish on the 0.5W. The effects are premium quality! Especially the Mod - FX - Reverbs. It also takes distortion pedals great in the front! Not tinny or thin in the slightest - sounds full and lots of bass if needed (I only have my bass set half way and its perfect for heavy rock tones) Have already updated the amp via USB which was easy enough and downloaded some of the boss tone presets and they are excellent. It sounds far better in real life than in the video - Rob is not exaggerating in the slightest.

Rob is genuinely loving this amp. Love how your eyes light up. No wonder you chose it for your USA tour.

[AMBowers]

Ha. The Capt when he honked made me cry. My insides hurt. Keep it up Rory. I watch the videos for the gear but editing is the icing on the cake.

[arsenalfanrichi]

I never usually fangirl over products on here. But this is AMAZING. The crunch sound was phenomenal imho. I don't need another amp but I'm almost foaming at the outh to get on of these. And knowing it's a Boss, it's probably going to outlive all of us.

[Wren]

Did not realise that Boss was owned by Roland! It's like a Cube with different sounds and simpler controls. And that's not a bad thing

[-thirteen]

it's always amazing to see that no one knows what to do with a clean sound

[adelrasheed]

the editing in these videos alone is enjoyable enough to watch these while having dinner.

[waynebush]

One of the reasons I started watching these videos years ago now, was because these two and the editing just crack me up! It's nice to have a good belly laugh where anyone else in the house thinks you're losing it! Thanks guys! Great review and a kick ass little amp!

[garrettm]

I'm getting this amp as my first amp and I'm really excited

[DerekHartley]

Thumbs up for a great editing job again, Rory!

[DIVADNOMIS]

The captain's facial expressions when he's watching chappers play, are just the best. Another lovely video lads, keep it up x

[BV_Beve]

23 seconds, were you momentarily reliving a distant memory there Captain ....

[Eventual]

I want to get one for my son. Boss was a name I grew up on. Personally, the 50+ pedal options is somewhat of dream come true. Portable.

Lee, the digital delay sounded incredible for 1 second when you brought it up to 35%. Backing down to 20% made it illegible. Some flange added would have been mega.

Metal heads like the Mach 2 face melting distortion, with delays.
