    Really like my MK2 100Watt. I'm not really seeing a reason to upgrade. Great amps though

    I'm eyeing this amp more now after watching your review. I play only at very low bedroom levels with minimum gain. Would I still benefit from your gaffers tape secret or does that mostly improve the tones when you crank it up? Thanks for your wildly entertaining reviews. You're a hoot!

    love these reviews, i bought a orange cr120 based on your videos, then i bought a katana based on your videos, i've had and loved my kat head since 2016 and sold all my other amps (other then a gt1000 core) and just go katana now. side note, the speakers in these amps are the same from mk1 the 50's have the same in mk1, mk2, gen3. the 100 watt versions have their relevant same speakers etc

    Hi Dave, you totally echo my experience, I can't comment on new Vintage brand guitars but I have 2, both early models. My PGGM lemon drop is the original with Gibson like neck heel and I prefer it to my real Les Paul, likewise my early Strat style Vintage guitar is better than my 1990's Fender Stratt. It's a shame, but as you say it seems the older, First edition Vintage guitars are fantastic. Come on Vintage, get your act and Mojo back.

    I have to admit, I've actually never been a fan of the sound of Katanas, but this is one of the first videos that has caught my ear. There must be something to that new speaker. I always thought the sound I was hoping for with them could perhaps be a speaker change away. Who knew, eh??? Kinda makes me want to try one of the new Gen 3s out at my local shop. Sounds like you were channeling Michael Chapman a bit toward the beginning of your acoustic demo. 😉 I also enjoyed the music you played using your Columbus ES-guitar a great deal. Sounded like nothing I've heard you play before. Very jazzy at times with alternate progressions. Very nice. And toward the end, holy Van Halen, Batman! 😄Great playing throughout as always, Dave! Love your videos, and keep up the great work! 👍 Cheers.

    Nice one Dave, hope all is good in Simmo World? Top review as ever putting the new Katana through its paces giving us all an insight into what it can do. Some splendidly playing as always. All sounds excellent, takes the pedals fine straight into front of amp without using an FX loop which I don’t bother using either and happily live without. I think too many guitarist get too hung up on things like that convincing themselves and others you gotta play through an FX loop etc, or it’s the end of the world. Just plug your gear in and play and tweak your settings to your preference, it’s always possible to achieve decent tones if you work with your gear. You’ve just proved plug it I play and it sounds great with use of FX loop which no one in an audience would notice any difference or be bothered, most musicians wouldn’t either, only the guitarist playing would know and think they’ve gotta have it. It’s all in the mind it’s a must. Nice one anyway cheers Stevo

    I don't know if others can relate to this, but while I can listen to a guitarist alone and be impressed, or be able to appreciate certain elements, I don't enjoy just listening to it, for any length of time. However, I not only enjoyed this, but found it highly listenable. I was laying here tired, started the video, and went on listening to it in the background, while doing other things, such as reading articles, and checking things on social media. And kept forgetting what was playing. It was soothing and enjoyable sounds in the background. I'm sure the amp is great, but it isn't the amp that accomplished this. I wish I could play like that. Amazing.

    Hi Dave,just watched this and was impressed by the voicing,and I understand how you can get lost in the moment! I do some days when just finding my way around the fretboard,3 or 4 hours no problem,hands hate me after tho(arthritis!)but I rest overnight and maybe go again later in the day. I know it's cheeky but I watch and listen closely to snippets of your playing and try to insert them into my twangy noise to improve and try different things,some days I'll play to or three notes and it'll remind me of something I've heard and then use it to practice with and then add to. This is all for my fun as I'm in no way to public playing I just enjoy the thrill of maybe making a pleasant bit of noise that pushes me to add more,I've found lately I'm using a lot of neck pickup,just love the creamy tones I can get. Also I'm beating a dean Evo into submission as it was a banana necked g string machine head missing 20 quid practice thing,like you I find a 'new' instrument will show you secrets it has already learned! Oh and stunning playing mate!

    I can't wait to see Dave's MK I vs Gen 3 shoot out, although I'm fairly certain what he'll say. I think he'll say that the Gen 3 is a step closer to perfection, if not perfection itself, but he'll also say that the MK I is still an excellent amp, especially for beginners who don't want to fork out for a brand new amp. There'll soon be thousands of MK Is on the second-hand market for less than 100 euros/pounds/dollars.

    His lack of vibrato is one of my favorite things about his playing. Man you better be sure your guitar is perfectly intonated if you're going to get away with no vibrato like that. I think in many cases people use vibrato to kinda cover up imperfect notes and bends.

    Could you please do a video that shows you actually using the 50 in a cranked mode either in a band rehearsal or gig situation... That would be the ultimate validation to the live capability of this amp... I don't in any way doubt your word Dave, but it would be nice to see it in the mix of a bass and drums..

  • @13coyote13
    @13coyote13 21 годину тому

    Personally I think the MKII sounds better and they royally screwed up by not putting a tuner, FX plug and didn't make available a better foot pedal, I think the Gen 3 is a fail on all of those points.
