On the surface there might not seem to be much of a difference, but there are some features on the Katana 100 model that are essential for more experienced players looking for an amp.

I learnt more from this guy in one video than I would have watching 10 others. Very well presented and explained. Subscribed.

[RingRoadSessions]

I love how you explained the loop thing and then showed us exactly what you were talking about. Many take this for granted

[sillyskeleton]

Even as a bedroom player, I think the Katana 100 is absolutely worth the extra investment. Don't think having double the wattage means it's an amp just for gigging. The other extra features are the real selling point.

[earthquakemagoon]

This IS the BEST review of these two amps I have seen!! Not rushed through and very well detailed. Thank you for doing this comparison video as it helped me to decide to go with the 50.

[samsschool]

Wow, I've never watched a video that fully answered all of my questions so precisely! thank you!

[andreagarcia]

I own the katana 100 and I couldn't be happier. At first I wanted the katana 50 but they only had the katana 100 on the store. I don't regret my decision even if I don't gig with it, it has everything I could ever need. Awesome video Dave!

[technik]

I've just bought my Boss Katana 50 about a month ago after Covid lockdown, have been playing it every day since - it's really such a great amp. After watching your video, I don't regret buying the 100!

[lancomedic]

Wow, I have watched 2 dozen videos on these two amps and you are the first to explain how that foot switch worked and that you could plug in additional pedals to it. I probably will still get the 50 because by the time I learn how to use all those effects the Mk V will be out and I'll get that.

[dreamares]

I really want to thank you for this video, you help me decide in getting the Boss 100 as i saw one at a pawn shop brand new for $240. Thanks for you for clear and concise instructions.

[jirimerkl]

hi i have seen a lot of reviews for anything.
None were presented so nicely that everyone could understand.
Thank you so much for the reviews and for existing.

[michachmielenko]

I bought Katana 50. I love looping and i love to change my tone. I'm crying now. Where were you when I needed you Dave :c i did not know that things

[adrianojameson]

When that video came out I had my 50 for about 6 months. First of all, it is a great amp, no doubt. Meanwhile I know that the little extras on the 100 are more than worth the 100 Euro in addition which the 100 would've clocked in. Maybe I'll get one in the future anyway. Thank you for breaking down those 2 excellent amps and pointing out the differences. I've already built up a small recording studio (DAW, Audio Interface, Midi Commander/Controller, Monitor Speakers, Bias FX II/Neural DSP modelling software, etc.) so there is not really a need for the 100 anymore but you know how it feels when you think that was the wrong one you've bought. One of the best channels on Youtube. Keep up the excellent work \o/

[luismarioXD]

As always the best review i've come to watch about something. After watching like a thousand videos of the katana mk2 i didnt find a single one that explained it in such a nice, intelligent, patient and concise manner as you. Thank you so much man. Really.

[mackermaldrill]

Well done. I already decided I want to purchase the Katana 100, but your video nailed it down for me.

[TheSeeker-ujlo]

Great information! Thank you! I had already purchased a 50, but I know I will be happy with it. Both are awesome amps.

[csaiz]

Excellent review. I just picked up the 100 today and so far I am impressed. Thank you for sharing your video and showing more of the features.

[aMarshall_]

Dude, I've been looking which amp I would choose for weeks now but daaamn, your video is just what we need. It's Insane how I know now, at 100%, that I'll take a Katana 100.
Thank you !

[Routerg]

Best Katana video! Would love to see this again with the new Katana Mark2 50 EX. since it now supports the gafc switch!

[upload]

Great presentation of the amps' differences - very useful, and I learned good info re: effects loops and loopers, too. Well done.

[szymons]

OMG, you sir just teach me about using these extra equipment and I'm not guitarist i just come over to check which kana I should buy for my first guitar.... you are LEGEND 🙌
