Another thing to consider is that the new katana does not have the sneaky amps. It’s nice for sure but they still did not give the option of a stereo out while monitoring from your amp
Hi Alex, thanks for the message. Yesterday I saw one in the shop for $419. The MKII was now 239. When I got home I found a Gen 3 online for $329! So today I decided to buy one. So this way I saved money for a pedal😀
I think you have missed a few things that are a really key update on gen3. For one , the boost section now holds 3 drives and you can set each one up differently and those settings hold. Go to your MKii and try this and you will see all drives have exactly the same settings and all 3 stay like that. This is a big plus. Streaming audio and running BTS on. Either mobile and laptops is now possible, you had to jump to 3rd party setups to do anything like the Gen3. Possible yes but it is a lot more work and effort and sharing your presets or archiving them along with midi controller setup is a good deal more cumbersome
Thank you for watching this video. I talked about Bluetooth, I think it's a good thing but we need to remember that you need to buy the Boss Bluetooth adaptor and I don't like this choice. You pay a good amount of money for a new amp and it's not difficult use a blueetooth chip inside the amp. For the boost section: yes, it's something I call an upgrade but I don't know if it's enough.
GEN3 for the win 😂. love mine, plus it's super easy for my 8yo who's learning guitar. Inset up the channels for him and , boom. awaybhe goes having fun
If you had a KATANA Artist MK2, you probably shouldn't buy the GEN 3 Artist. If you had a Katana 50 or Katana 100, I think the GEN 3 Artist would be worth the money.
Thank you for watching this video. Obviously it's a personal decision, if you can and if you want to switch I'm sure that you will be happy with this new device.
Thank you for watching this video. The entire point of this video is to discourage to buy boss katana 3 if you have a katana mk2. Obviously if you don't, unless you're on a tight budget, you should buy the third gen model.
Ho comprato il Katana MkII un mese fa. L'ho rivenduto quasi alla stessa cifra per comprare il Gen3. L'ho fatto perchè se la nuova tecnologia mi permette, anche se di poco, un suono meno inscatolato (che e' la caratteristica di queste macchine) allora credo ne valga la pena. Il fatto poi di aver comprato la II generazione un mese prima della III...Beh, quella è la classica sfiga che mi accompagna da sempre.
Ciao, grazie per aver visto il video e aver commentato. Dipende tutto dalle proprie esigenze, io utilizzo il Boss Katana solo in sala prove o, in futuro, in contesti live. A casa utilizzo Plugin Neural DSP tramite pc perché mi trovo meglio per poi registrare. A mio avviso l'upgrade non è così marcato da farmi venire voglia di spendere il doppio. Ma è chiaro che dipende anche dalle proprie esigenze. Hi, thanks for watching the video and commenting. It all depends on one's needs, I use Boss Katana only in the rehearsal room or in the future in live settings. At home I use Plugin Neural DSP via pc because I find it better for later recording. In my opinion the upgrade is not so pronounced as to make me want to spend twice as much. But clearly it also depends on one's needs.
L'unica cosa che potrebbe dire se realmente ne valga la pena é un confronto dell'hardware. Se questo non presenta variazioni sostanziali, spendere dei soldi per un "upgrade software", che probabilmente può essere riprodotto sulle precedenti versioni con un attento uso di equalizzazioni e livelli, equivale a gettarli via. Ma rilevare SOSTANZIALI differenze nella componentistica é un la voro di reverse engineering non alla portata di tutti. Oltre a richiedere la totale disponibilità degli amplificatori
You seem like you're really concerned about pricing you're also just assuming things that you know nothing about at the time of the video you placed and you were not thinking right because you did not know much information before you bought the mark 2 I did the same thing but I'm going to be upgrading

Yes this is another thing to consider. Thank you for watching this video.

Thank you for watching this video. If you don't have any other boss katana amp I think you made the right choice. Enjoy!
Where did you see it? 🙊 link pls

I have the artist MK2 and am trading up because better sound better functionality, more features is worth a couple of hundred bucks to me
Thank you for watching this video. Obviously it's a personal decision, if you can and if you want to switch I'm sure that you will be happy with this new device.
Im trading up becuase of timing.. I just so happened to want a 100 ( I have a 50 and love it) and this thing dropped.
Why would i buy the older model as my first amp and not get the gen 3

Forse qualcuno lo farà prima o poi. Grazie per aver visto il video.
