![]() I do find that the stock clean setting is pretty balanced and not peircing. ![]() But I'm ready to throw in the towel and declare that it's not for me.Ĭlick to expand.I feel your pain. It's certainly possible that the speaker in my Katana 100 still needs more breaking in (I cranked music through it for a few hours when I first got it and it improved considerably. There's something I just can't dial out in the Katana that always makes me want to play my other amps instead. In fact I find them harsh and hard to listen to for long periods of time. However, those frequencies to me never sound great in a standalone, low volume setting. Katanas must be awesome for that application. As a result they are very mid-forward, accentuating those frequencies that jump out in a live situation. I have concluded that Katanas are designed to cut through a mix in a live setting, which has always been the downfall of most digital or modeling amps. I believe that I know tone, but obviously everyone has different opinions about what that is. I am mostly a low gain, on the edge of breakup kind of player. I also got a Blues Cube Artist around the same time as the Katana. My primary amps for home use are a vintage '64 Princeton Reverb, a Suhr Badger 18 through a Scumback M75, a Fender Mustang III v2 and a Vox Pathfinder 15R. I have been struggling to get a pleasing low volume bedroom tone out of it for a long time now. I'm going to share a very controversial opinion on the Katana.
