I only hope the "pushed brown" joke doesn't go unnoticed/unappreciated

very glad to see you being well and able to sit again after your surgery

Christ on a bike, this man is working his ass off. This vid came out the day before Sweden Rock, he was on stage on Friday afternoon in front of a gazillion people at the opposite end of the country, and by Sunday he was back home posting another vid! Respect man.

it's like a giant metal zone

Got an Artist MkII head recently and it's far and away the best guitar purchase I've ever made that isn't an actual guitar. It's wild how much I can do, I have a setting for Nile and a setting for Van Halen and a setting for cleans a la Ozzy No More Tears album. I still have barely scratched the surface of the capabilities of it, I absolutely love it. Oh and if you like chorus, the DC-30 option is insanely fun.

When you begin using the Tone Studio system, this set up becomes untouchable for the price and versatility!

CHUUUUUGGGG!!! Hellz yeah Ola! Glad to see you healthy and CHUGGING!!!

I've had my Mk1 for over 5 years now, and still love it. Gen 3 has to be 3x as good, so it would probably make my head explode.

Had a MKii head for a while and found that some onboard effects sounded better than others. As an amateur musician, I was not disappointed with the thing. I sold it and pre-ordered the Artist-Head Gen 3.

That sounds absolutely amazing, also I'm glad the surgery went well, back surgery is very risky, but back pain and sciatica is no joke, I hope no one ever has to go through this

I have a first gen Katana. It's as terrific now as it was when I first bought it. Thanks for chugging, Ola!!!!!!!!!!!! (I even have a Katana mini just for fun).

The shop that ends up selling this should put a fancy tag on it...."Chugged by Ola"🤘

the low end is really tight. amazing

It's a monster amp. As a guy in his mid 40's who grew up lusting after tube Marshalls and old fuzz pedals, but didn't have a couple of grand to drop on them, it's just an incredible age that we live in.

This is the exact video I want. YOU PREDICTED MY REAQUEST THANKS OLA YOU’RE THE BEST!

Always great to see OLA feeling good and bringing back one of my favorite episodes Chug 4 Life🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🍕🍕😊

I miss this series! Happy you're back, Brother! Glad you're doing well.

glad to see you're BACK in business ;)

Sounds brutal. Love the demos of this. Also that guitar looks well nice with the pink!

If people are considering getting one and are confused by the sounds. You pre load 3 effects per knob on your computer. There are literally DOZENS to choose from. The sound profiles / combinations are almost endless

It's kinda mindblowing to me how this third gen was underwhelming for so many people - just and only because the first Gen Katana really was already THIS good and THIS groundbreaking. There really is a pre and a post Katana world in affordable home amplifiers (and not even just modelling but home amps period. Why ever should you buy any other transistor practice amp for playing at home when the 50 is only 200 bucks and can do literally everything you'll ever need at home, including being a full fledged recording interface, including DI signal and reamping?)

Nailed it with your comment about just dialing it in on the amp and go! Sometimes simple is better. Less is More! 🤘😝

I'm so happy to see this. I was just looking through your videos 3 days ago because I was about to order this. I ended up placing the order, and it'll be here tomorrow. I'm so glad I did. It sounds awesome.

Great to see you back and chugging away Ola!! Very glad to see your surgery went well and you seem to be doing fine! Really enjoyed the Boss Katana generation 3 amp video! I'm a fan of the amps and you as well! Wishing you all the best!

ola is the goat, inspires me to always chug any amp i see or touch

0:10 spot on borat impression

Sorry, the symbol/kanji means "sword". That's the meaning of Katana in Japanese. The word/kanji "strength" has a little vertical stroke above the top horizontal line. Lol, first time I explained kanji in English 😅

i personally love the katana through a greenback. takes care of most of the fizzyness and gives the midrange centerstage. definitely worth a try

8 months? sheesh ... got CHUG withdrawals ... Hope your Back is feeling better Ola!

"Option paralysis" - it can grind me down until I either feel/hear everything sounds the same, or just *too* . I agree, I enjoy just plugging into my Marshall DSL20 and chugging away with a reliable, consistent and enjoyable tone.

Wow. Modeling has come a long way from my old Line 6 Spider when I first started playing. IMO the Katana is totally amp you could go out and gig with and not leave anything to be desired. It’s a good time to be a guitar player!!

Katanas are so good, my Mk. II is super fun! I wish these were around when I started playing in the 90s. We all had Peaveys and Crates.

The only review of this product I'll watch. 🤟

Sounds perfect! You may well have been a major part of Roland's success with this amp line.

When dialed with the online features this thing is pretty crazy

I pushed some brown this morning after I had my coffee! Yay!!!!

im glad to hear your feeling better! also ola is absolutely right, if you already have a boss katana there is no need to upgrade. especally if you have a boss me80. from my understanding the new line of katanas basically has a built in me80.

Just got the Gen 3 head and I love it. I have to sell my MKII now that I bought three years ago… I didn’t need to upgrade, but I just wanted the latest and greatest. One of my favorite guitar purchases ever in the last 35 years…

Proud 2nd gen Katana owner here, it's honestly kind of incredible how well it handles multiple effects running at the same time. Sometimes to insane, bizarro levels. Great to hear the 3rd gen one still kicks asssssssssss!

This is the review I needed to see and hear, thanks for covering all the bases on this one.

That sounds really great, perfect demo of the chugability. 😎

Sounds great! I’m making my video at the moment!

Hi everyone. For the few who have answered my comments. I can recommend watching The Studio Rats channel about the various katana settings. This would help you to dial real usable tone accordingly. @ola thanks for the good work. A tons of people would for sure love some patches created by you in a video where you are setting all parameters.

Back surgery is no joke. Damn near cured my sciatica 19 years ago tho and I’m young. 🤷‍♂️ glad you’re feeling well! Be careful lifting those cabs and amps.

Ive been using the Mk II as a home amp for like 5 years. The new one looks great, i think i might have to get myself one of these

OLA! Considering how many of us have these, I would love to see a video with your Chug pedal through a Katana before I order one. 🤘

upgraded my mark 2 with mix of 2 celestion 30s and 2 swamp thangs.. sounds unreal!!

L5-S1 fusion… life changing for me-Glad you’re doing well. At age 50 my wife “made” me get back to electric and the 50w Katana is awesome. Happy to not need a dozen pedals. Chugga-chugga…

I regret not getting a boss katana, it is one of the best practice amp, or even guitar amp in general

Straight to Brown Town! This is the way.

Man that really chugs! Cool!

i got the boss katana mkII head and its by far best $300 ive spent on any guitar gear you can achieve any tone from harcore deathmetal to anything else

Man I wish they had these when I first started playing guitar, or hell even when I first started writing and recording.

Stepping back and getting rid of the placebo effect that Ola is playing on a boss katana. The sounds we have been hearing were not very pleasing and are typical to any solid state amp. Owning a mkII head. For sure possibilities for the buck is great and we would all wish to get such things many years ago. Best distortion results I could get on Katana is actually using clean or crunch and adding distortion effect. And for sure work with the parametric EQ is key to get something usable. Anyway… why am I writing this oO. Good so have you back in shape Ola though

For bedroom practice this amp is more than fine.👍

God I love these will it chugs !!!!!!!! Glad to see them back and glad your healthy

Glad to hear you're getting better Ola. I hope you get back to 200% in no time.

Ola, I agree with you 100 percent. So tired of everything requiring an app. I just want to sit down and play without having to log into something or having to adjust something in a dang app. Well done on this Chug episode bro.

Katana ,,the best amp i ever bought.

I missed WILL IT CHUG videos. Thanks Ola!!!👍👍👍

im a drummer but my guitarist uses this amp for rehearsal and it sounds great, especially for the price.

Glad the surgery went well, this amp chugs like a champ. i need twenty of them.

Good to see ya healthy Ola \m/ Love these amps never disappointed me

Boss katana is the most amazing amp I experienced to use

They're the best practice amps of all time. Really do it all

I have the mk2 50 watt and it is a chug machine if you get the settings right,you just mainly need to balance out the booster and the gain

This pink guitar is glorious!

Any Katana gen I, II, III is fine for me. I just use the clean channel with a Pod Go or Valeton GP-200. Sounds great. I just use the Boss Effects as a back up or to sweeten up the sound. They are light weight, loud, and priced fairly. Great budget rig.

Glad you're getting good tones out of it. I've never liked the heavier tones from my artist mkii, nor the fuzz

Yay!!!!! Uncle Ola is SITTING UP AND SHREDDING 🎸😎

Nice to know your surgery went well Ola. This is by far the best version of the Katana, chugalicious!

Volume UP, then control with master. The mkII had dual knobs also.

Those chompers are shining brighter than a flourescent light! Damn!!

I love the Solar pink Cannabalismo X! I made the difficult decision of choosing between Solar and Strandberg for next guitar and bought the Boden 7 with exquisite woods and it plays amazing. Next one is the pink Solar!

@4:10 There is that riff again! Love it.

Thanks for the Boss Katana review. I will buy one of these to compare to my current solid state main and my other tube amps.

Good for you and your back!

I'm so glad your back is back :) But also Will it Chug!

I use the Katana MK2 to reamp through my DAW. It sounds very nice and I don't have to load plugins and hope my settings saved in those plugins. I turn the amp on, and go.

Its like previous version. Suffers from no noise gate its very apparent

I have the MK2 and the only thing I'd maybe do is swap out the speaker. I also have amp sims and i can play through both together and oh man its cool 🤘

Love my Katana MkII 100 head. I don’t think I will play any other amp straight out of the box, no app needed you can chug. Straight metal tone right in your face. I currently have 2 different styles of tone. Judas Priest tone and just a straight clean metal chug. BAM!!!!

It's so good to see (and hear) You being back and (hopefully) healthy. But where's the Chug-O-meter? :D

Proud owner of BK 50 mk 2!Heavy as fuck!🤘🏻

Starting on solid state and getting bored with tubes I bought the katana gen 3. Not sure about it at first but after some adjustments i'm sold on it. I've always been a boss guy though.

It's a cool Amp. I have the gen 2.

This amp and amp series is one of the best things that ever happened to the bedroom guitar player

Welcome back! Chugg away Ola! I have an empty house this afternoon and am going to take your tips for a ride this afternoon!

If I was just hearing this, I would think someone’s playing any modeler. Sounds good

Pushed Brown

Since you took 32 seconds before realizing that the amp wasn’t on, and the final will it chug time was 2:09, the true will it chug time was about 1:37.

Where’s the chug meter?

just got a volar v type should come in around 2-3 days super exited

Yes!! Another ola video. HELL YEAH.

Ola what mic are you using here?

I will stick with my MK2 I only use mine with a pre amp pedal in the back now though as when I use the footswitch its too unpredictable & does weird shit at times

I've got the Mark II Artist combo and that thing is a friggin MONSTER. I'll set it up at 50w, crank that first volume all the way and then lightly move the master up to the overall volume I'm looking for. I never have to go to 12o'clock, I'll tell you that. It's loud as fuck and hits like truck. I've messed around on the 100w setting a couple times and I had to play in another room from the amp. It's crazy loud. Like, unbearable. But it stays crispy and crunchy all the way. Most of the modeler combos I've screwed around with could sound ok, but you wouldn't necessarily want to gig or record with them. Not this thing. I could set up next to my roommate's guitarist's giant tube half-stack and absolutely go toe to toe with anything that amp can do. Whatever sorcery Boss is up to with these Katanas, and especially the Artist line, it works. Honestly, just the fact that they can put out a $600 solid-state combo that goes that hard is something I wouldn't have believed 20 years ago. The fact that it also does so many things, and well, my old brain just can't comprehend it. I'm kind of tempted to grab a Gen 3 Artist head and just run it through my current cab, but I really want to get a big-boy Peavey. Damn you, Boss, with your fascinating and distracting witchery!

6:59 bro is absolutely boinkling, spoinkling and might I even add yoinkly-doinkly-glooping-glaarbing all over the place

I own a Boss Katana MK2 2x12 and I can confirm …IT CHUGGS!

It is a real amplifier bro, it is Class AB Analog. Digital Effects have been added. I do suggest try the ARTIST, I love the sound quality compared to the MK2.
