Hey, im late but the acoustic channel isnt an acoustic simulator, its a channel for electro acoustic guitars.
Thanks! I've been STRUGGLING all day, trying to connect my Katana 50 mkII. Several ( subpar) videos later, I found you. I got it on the first round! For the record, you inspired me to make my first super chat❤. I really appreciate you and will definitely subscribe NOW.
Thanks so much. Glad I could help!
Thanks!
Nice, I am just watching, and I see that you have exactly the same guitar as i have. So even the color is the same.
Thanks for your videos on the katana…. Saved me some hair….lol. Not pulling it out now!
Sounds like an old Def Leppard song Too Late i think
Is there a way to move between the pre sets using just the keyboard?
Very good - easy to follow - quick and succinct - and well done visually. bravo
1:28
This was realy helpful but how do you tell if the 12th fret is in tune or not?
GREAT tutorial thanks
Bro jumpscared me, as soon as the video began (good video tho)
I hate boss amps and stupid computer settings , the ga fc ex , is only an extention of top plate , not a set of extra pedals , drive me mad , pushed me away from boss tat. Whats with them WORST placed controll pannel of any amp made ! Totally hidden in a RECESS at the back of the amp 🤣🤣🤣 , talk about design blooper
So what amp do I get
Patches and stuck with boss's own tack , i have the feeling you will never be up to date with this company , even when buying brand new theres a mk2 or 3 out , that pedals dont work with unless you register your life and download a patch , then it has to be a boss switch ,by then your sucked into playing with apps more than your guitar . Like your kids with their phones you moan about NEXT
If only the controlls were at the front , and the mk2 ex , both annoy you , cheapo practice amps have contolls on the fronts , gets pretty annoying leaning over them to fiddle with the things, computers and boss five switch pedals to use in conjunction with the banks , to many compromises with boss , your stuck with them and their tack ! Just buy an old amp that takes a wah pedal , happy days
thanks. i had trouble with the app. turnes out i just downloaded the wrong version. i downloaded the version for windows but for a different amp. not the mk 2
Hey Paul great video. But i have a problem, I know this video was about 5 years ago and you may not be a guitar repairist. BUT whenever I move my saddle the pitch of the string does not change. It's like the saddle is just sliding along the string and not actually pulling it. I was wondering if you have a solution to this.
Most useful post so far.
Amazing insights, mr. Douglas
I cant use my amplifi speakera as the output when I choose asio
The most bri-ish guide I've ever seen
a couple of things here. one, you need to set the guitar up completely first. if it was already setup before and is now trending sharp or flat, you should adjust the truss rod first as that is the likely culprit on the les paul. once that is done, then intonate it if needed. the other thing is that you should never do this while it is laying flat like that. you should do it in the playing/hanging position because most guitar necks will move ever so slightly while laying like that. same for any tuning. end rant.
Surely you should use a compressor before using a limiter?
Why did you send it to a bus instead of just changing the Master volume? I mean when I master mine I just use the Master volume track and add compression and a limiter to the master volume.
So... all you do is throw in a limiter, bring the threshold down and... voila! I am a mastering engineer! What a waste of 10 minutes!
Thank you sooooooooo much !!
I was wondering If one finds that raising a volume decreases other tracks volume does that mean they are linked in some way?
Thanks! Very clear!
Thanks for the tutorial! Recently bought a Matt Heafy Epiphone Custom 7. it's short scale length calls for beefy strings. I upped the gauge and it sound so bad lol. Intonated, and it sounds amazing!
magic! Ta
Thank you, you really helped me play this song that I love, we're going to play it with my group!
did everything right and tone studio said i need a driver even though i plugged the katana amp to my computer and opened tome studio said i need to download a driver
just found this video, going to try this when i get home from work today. hopefully, it should save me a trip to the guitar shop.
What a great video. this is exactly what I needed (I think lol). My LP sounds a bit wonky on the G string when playing power chords. Will be giving this a go later. Thanks again!
All these years playing an out of tune guitar and it was that easy? Shame on me.
Does anyone know if the mobile app Boss Katana Go works with the Boss Katana Artist Mk2?? I really want to use it on my phone instead
Hi why the sound of bias fx 2 preset is diferent when i open it as a plugin?, the stand alone sound is more perfect than the plugin sound?
especialy when i open in the cubase apps
It should be said that there are 2 ways of recording MIDI into (in this case) Reaper, from a digital piano. 1. Using a USB cable (e.g., my Roland FP4 digital piano has a USB B output) to go directly into one's computer (and into Reaper) 2. Your method, which uses a 5 pin DIN output cable, going in to the 5 pin DIN input on your audio interface, and then connecting your audio interface to your computer via a USB cable
Excellent vid! Thanks. Any chance you can share the tabs for the loop layers you used? Sounds great, and would like to follow and see if I can get the same result (a guitar beginner :)).
Silly question maybe, but if you didnt do an external (or cloud sync) backup save with the old dead pc.. ur fucked right?
Id pay someone to fix mine after i tried raising the bridge
Beautiful! It's rare to see guitarist play from the soul as you do, Thank You!
Good choice of a song, and good teaching
Is it the same Tonecloud we get with the Spark? That has 50,000 + tones
Thanks!
Excellent and very helpful . Thank you Paul.
A worthy SUBS and Thumbs up <3
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP ..
So are these effects and the guitar sound coming from speakers or just headphones? 😅
Great video - Direct, straight to the point, thanks a lot
