evan47 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Has anyone tried the BOSS Katana bass combos? I have been thinking of the 1 x 10 60w version for home or studio use only. The main question is does it have a fan, and if so how much noise does it make, if any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 No fan in both versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKay Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Unsure - never tried it with headphones. The user manual is available on line if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan47 Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 Well, I originally ordered the 1 x 10 Katana and it died after 30 minutes. When it worked it sounded great so I had it replaced with the 2 x 10 version . I was a bit miffed about needing to upgrade firmware before being able to access the BOSS app so opted for a GT 1 b on finance for a paltry monthly payment. The 2 x 10 sounds great and the 1 Watt setting for home practise is a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand... You needed to update firmware on the amp and this somehow led you to buying a separate effects pedal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like an upgrade to me! 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan47 Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) I had my eye on the GT1 B for a while as it doubles up as a portable headphone amp, plus the presets are nicer than those on the amp. It was a moment of madness getting the GT1 B but no regrets, at least it has a built in tuner unlike the katana. I also have an aversion to using apps, ..... I can't be the only one? Having said that, the Katana is a great little amp, plenty of volume plus great low level performance and the effects that I do use are nice but some of the presets esp the synth based sounds are awful.
