And yes, I do! Still have a little pedalboard on a PT nano sitting around gathering dust. A Timmy, a Euphoria, a Diamond Memory Lane Jr and a Wet are all waiting to be played.

So, is the Katana mostly seen as a platform for something like an HD500?

No and a little bit of Yes . It is an amp in its own right first and foremost, but is also a platform for computer editing etc (ps I don't have one .... yet )Pastasauce wrote:So, is the Katana mostly seen as a platform for something like an HD500?
honestly from what I have read these are the best thing you can get at the price point, regardless of valve v modeller ...... they will be great live or via computer/recording
stop over thinking and yet PM Dave and get one

I've had mine a whole afternoon now, so I'm still in the 'harmony central' throes of reviewing.Pastasauce wrote:So, is the Katana mostly seen as a platform for something like an HD500?
It's pretty good, and for the price of a boutique pedal you end up with an amp that would never embarrass you in public.

Interesting. I'm going down the youtube rabbit hole as we speak.
I was leaning towards and AC10 initially. Similarly budget friendly, especially second hand.

I was looking at an ac10 too but I'm a bedroom player again these days and the katana does that and can be gigged so was a no brainerPastasauce wrote:Interesting. I'm going down the youtube rabbit hole as we speak.

Great amps. I'd definitely go there if I didn't have an AC4.Pastasauce wrote:Interesting. I'm going down the youtube rabbit hole as we speak.

Re: Getting back in the game
AC10s are lovely, as are 15s. They're so far removed from your old JCM though, as I'm sure you're aware. I'd definitely check out Nik(sizzlingbadger)'s Laney though. Great deal on a killer amp.

Line out/USB out is a bit meh sounding, throws you right back to the GT5 land. Probably because the cab sim isn't that great.willow13 wrote:they will be great live or via computer/recording

Re: Getting back in the game
Big Jet City fan here. Hard to beat for the price. And huge trannies in them, so even the 20 watters are massively loud.
Getting hard to find though as there is no importer at the moment. But to import one is cheap enough anyway.
