Re: New Boss Katana-500 Bass Head + Katana Cabinet 112
The bassist in me also likes the Katana format. Lots of features and tweaks available on the panel, but a deep dive into the Tone Studio editor really brings out the details. I tend to play simple heads and use one of my three bass boards for the needed effects and processing. If an amp is not neede...

Re: New Boss Katana-500 Bass Head + Katana Cabinet 112
The Katana guitar amps are great. I like how they are pretty straight forward, but you can deep dive when using Tone Studio. I totally understand how gigging players like to use them. You can set it up to be pretty similar to your favorite type of amp and then get the benefit of plug and play as wel...

Re: New Boss IR-2 Amp & Cabinet
Got it, after 3 1/2 months wait. Well worth it! Does everything I expected and needed. Used it with some Sony MDR7506 headphones and went through the various amp/tone platforms. Interestingly, I found two of the Boss MDP models the most to my liking: Clean and Modded. Clean was big and full. It also...

Re: Boss IR-2 with footswitch
So I got some hands on time with the IR2. Here's how to get fast response from effect to bypass mode and then bypass to effect mode. 1. Use an external footswitch for red to green/channel toggling. Not only is this essential for quick bypass and engagement, but the footswich has to be a momentary/un...

Re: Boss IR-2 with footswitch
I don't have my IR2 yet, it's arriving tomorrow, so I can't answer with direct experience. By this time Wednesday, I will have a full report... However, I can relate some things I picked up reading the IR2 manual (to familiarize myself before it's arrival), how the IR2 is intended to be used, and al...

Re: New pedals in the design phase
Very cool!
I had a Mutron Bi-Phase for a short time 30 years ago. The parallel and series phasing options were really cool for getting some wild sounds.

Re: Electrolytic capacitors - a perspective
Yeah, I look at 20 year old caps as something to keep an eye on. Once they hit 30 years, maybe not a bad idea to start replacing, and look at some of the resistors, too. I have found that it's not a massive difference when replacing working filter caps with direct replacements, unless they were uppe...
