The Boss Katana-50 MkII EX - New Features & Updates For One Of The Most Popular Amps Around!

Great playing Dagan, looks like the same Kramer Alan Murphy was playing with Go West

The riff in there sounds like CKY - Flesh into gear.

Thank you Jacksparrow of the guitar world!

Sounds like this amp has the same crappy digital decay rate that the boss GT8 has. No thanks. Not natural at all.

Sounds bad

Sounds cheap and nasty

Was that CKY? Sounded like Flesh into Gear

Wonder if they will add Send/Return to the Katana 50? BTW, I'm watching you play and I'm looking at my Katana going, "Damn, I didn't know you could do that!"

it was flesh into gear by cky

gimme my points

So it seems the regular mk50 combo is 269 on Amazon but the ex50 mkii combo is 279! So it sounds it’s worth the extra 10 dollars

I bought 1 of these for my daughter, and a metallic purple Ibanez mikro guitar. Christmas 🎄

What Kramer guitar is that? Never seen it before

Boss katana or marshall code 25?play metal and hard rock.

Nice demo as always! I like a lot.

I like it. But you need to talk slower and be more specific on your demos please .

Can you use this live? I mean mic'd up in a live rock band setting. We play 70's and 80's rock. Aerosmith,AC/DC,KISS,etc..Will it work?

Just bought one new for £200

I see it is sitting on top of a Blackstar cabinet...is there a jack on the Katana for an extension speaker cab? thanks...

So will this also work with the Boss Me-90 as well?

Well SOB, I finally bothered plugging the Katana into the computer and for the 1st time, accessed all the pedals, EQ's and other features. Turns out, it's not a POS after all!
Of course with that said, it's not as good as people praise it to be, but just using the panel to dial in sounds it is atrocious, and an amp that you cannot access the functions without a computer is in that regard, a POS for that alone.
With all that said, you will still get a hell of a lot more buying a $150 Gamma and a Valeton floor modeler.
More amps, more pedals, more effects and a noise gate. I just wish I hadn't suffered through the Boss for nearly 3 years in it's hand configured limitations.

If this amp sounded like this in real life that would be great 😂

Just an FYI (Be aware) I personally can't get the Boss Tone Studio to work!!! Key point is... keep in mind you Can Not reach BOSS by phone or any other way! There is zero ability to get help. If you have any trouble with anything (such as never being able to get the Tone Studio) then you are 100% out of luck. I bought the 50 new version a little over a month ago and while it sounds fine and the knobs on the top are useful it only lets you do so much with the knobs. I only wanted the best practice amp for home usage but if the tone studio is the best feature and it never downloads and does not work then what is the point? At this time, I would rather just get another smaller tube amp and drag out my pedals.

I want one just to experiment with different speakers.

Great video so can you download like certain amp settings like say STP tones? Also can you use a tube amp pedal emulator to make is pull like a valve amp instead of solid state ?

Okay I'm off to the music shop to have a look 'cause that sounds amazing!

Nice to see I’m not the only one stop painting my nails black. Rock on brother.

Imagine if boss made a freaking tube amp 😮

Can you play with an electro classic with it. ??

That 'BROWN SOUND' was actually BROWN !!! 🤘

Pound shop Russell Brand can play pretty well!

Problem is when you put microphone on amp as you do here i dont know if that's a real power and sound of that amp. So as Next time dont manequr your nails please. Be man or F off..

~ I have a 100MKII. Will it stereo twin with the 50MKII EX? ~

Ticks so many boxes but one niggling issue for me. I know Bluetooth can be flakey but I'd rather you could connect to your phone/tablet to use the tone studio app. I'm not keen on having a physical connection

Flesh into gear cky is the song

Hii, I Have a question for all of those who have the new katana 50 mkII. Can you put your expresion pedal while you're using the chanel selector?
In the previus one you can't, that's why I'm asking for

I had to travel into London yesterday to try out one of thses. It is because PMT did not follow up on the tip that I gave about a music shop becoming available in southeast London. Now part of that shop is a dance studio. Going back to the Katana, I will be purchasing one of them as I really enjoyed the experience. Great amp in such an easily portable size.

Flesh Into Gear by CKY. 10 points for me!

Bought one for €420 the other day, just have to collect it from the guitar shop, the shop assistant said there was a 100watt version for an extra €50, I want to gig with it, is the 100watt a better investment?

$100 more than the old version??

This is great. Brilliant playing and superb sound.
Dagan, or if anyone can recognise the mic, how was the 50 recorded? (can't see if its a SM57...?)

I just bought one. Not because of this review... 😂 Wonderful review though, just saw it after buying. I learned a lot from your review, Thanks!

…Russell Brand kicks ass!!!…🤣🎸🤣…

Sounds like some suicidal tendencies

What riff is Dagan playing from 49sec to 1min? during the intro?

Fair play lad you're fucking slaying that thing
