I really want to try the head version for the same reasons. But man the ES-5 and 8 footswitchs cost some bucks :freak: Got to try a Ibanez Vai Jr since they are lefty now, and I like it. I think I want a flatter neck then my Strat to play with. If I do another LP type guitar, I think it will be ESP. I really like the EC 1000 :thu:

So whos gonna get one of the Boss amps? I have really been thinking about getting the head and a cab, but I will probably never use half the crap in it lol. Maybe I should just do a cab, poweramp and a pedalboard.

I ordered the head. Should be here tomorrow. Will clip it up this weekend.

Since I'm here may I share my SS love without fear of retribution and ridicule? Hope so.

The 4-channel footswitch for the Katana 100 is the GA-FC, which costs $99. The 50w uses any single button footswitch.

You can also use a single button footswitch with 100w if you only need 2 channels.


The ES-5/8 are not footswitches, they're pedal switchers (loopers) and have nothing to do with the Katana amps.
Guitars:
'78 Les Paul Pro / '89 SG Special/ '04 Gibson Les Paul Classic 3 pickup / Jackson Star/ Endres Tele / Fernandes Rhoads/ ''74 Hohner MIJ strat/ 2 Partscasters

Amps:
Depends on when you ask. I got tired of constantly updating this section lol

Cabs
Marshall 1960A w V30s/ Seismic 2x12 w Redback and V30.

Alright, cool. I was trying to find which footswitches went to which amp. But you have to use the Midi with the head right? My GC needs to get a couple in stock :mad:

No you don't have to use the MIDI with the head. The GA-FC footswitch works just fine without MIDI, it connects to the amp via a stereo instrument cable (TRS plugs), which is supplied with the pedal.


The MIDI out is an extra option, but not something you have to use.

Ok cool. I did know that at all. Maybe the head would be the thing to get! Now I feel excitement :dance:

Got to play the 100 watt Katana combo today, and it is a nice sounding amp. I liked both the lead and brown. I would love to hook it to a comp and play with it. I'm gonna go to the other GC, and see if they have the head. I also tried the new Line 6 amps. Nothing great, but the Duel Rec model was fun to play. But it still sounded Line 6. And its really imo just for lower volumes.

Got my Katana head this morning. Played with it for about 30 minutes so far. Ran it through a 5150 4x12 and a VTM 4x12 loaded with G12H-30's. I'll do a proper NAD thing with clips, pics and review, but as of right now I'll say I liked it better with the darker sounding 5150 cab and so far I think it's good. I do feel I need to get into the editor and tweak things more to my liking.

Yea, the combo was bright. I was thinking darker speakers would be better. Hopefully I can find the head, and play through some different cabs.

Back on HC a few members had that Randall, and loved them. Why doesn't Randall remake them? I have yet to try them or the Ampeg VH140c. They sell fast in the used sections.

Randall briefly produced the RG8040. It was a remake with the new third blue channel for super modern high gain like the RG13 pedal.

Thats cool. A friend of mine gave me a Vox ad30vt, and man it sucks lol. It has a couple of decent cleans, but I hate all the distortions, and it doesn't take pedals worth a crap. I'm going to trade it for something at GC.
