Looking for a new amp

[steep peak]

I found this Line 6 Flextone II and Line 6 Floor Board set for 250€. I’ve used the amp at my school and it sounds pretty good imo. Is it worth it?

[frank kiln]

are you using the tone studio @steep peak

[steep peak]

Yea ive gone it through and the high gain distortion tones just dont cut it

[frank kiln]

try mine before you move on

one sec

i use it for pretty much everything high gain

@steep peak

[steep peak]

Ill update in a few minutes

[frank kiln]

let me know how it is

i really like using it

you can stick a GEQ on basically any tone with a noise gate/high gain and it sounds great

[steep peak]

didnt like it no offense

the katana just doesnt have that chuggy sound that makes the room shake

[frank kiln]

weird

mine does

[plucky wigeon]

What’s your budget

What’s your reference sound (what toan™️ do you want)

And why is the boss katana not able to hit that sound?

[proper ridge]

Simple , get some high gain 3 channel 100w amp and a 4x12 ... That will shake the room and the house ... That'll be 4K please

[plucky wigeon]

So true lmaooo

[proper ridge]

And then come to the conclusion it's not the guitar sound that usually rocks the room in a mix, but the bass and drums

[plucky wigeon]

Imo, more the bass rather than the drums

Bass can be sustained and the shaking can actually happen

Drums are just this for a moment at a time

[steep peak]

I dont have a specific tone in mind. I can get a really good distortion but it doesnt give that bassy heavy chug sound when palm muted. ”just turn up the bass bro” is not the answer it doesnt work so thats kind of the reason im upgrading

my budjet is under 350€ so im looking for ones used

[plucky wigeon]

Like… drop a youtube video as a reference

Because it straight up could just be that the tone you’re looking for isn’t even an electric guitar

[steep peak]

bro im not this new to this, i have tested other amps that do have the sound i want, the katana doesnt have that, but ill send a video anyway ig

[frank kiln]

“i have tested other amps that do have the sound that i want” okay so buy one of those lol

[steep peak]

no need to get offended. some of those amps might not have all the features i want or need so theres no point in buying one. so im looking for an amp that packs a ton off stuff while still actually sounding good. i apologize if i came off as rude

[frank kiln]

noones getting offended

im just confused as to why you’re still looking for an amp, if youve found multiple you like

[steep peak]

https://youtu.be/z_nFVnDuQJ8?si=H70SFIQbvGA5voTt at 10:00 you can hear alexis tone alone really nice, it sounds huge, and palm muted notes are loud, crisp and clear, but this is besides the point

[frank kiln]

i dunno whats wrong with your katana but mine sounds exactly like that lol

with the patch i sent

[steep peak]

Because many many amps can do the sound im looking for, just not the katana. some of them are too expensive for me and arent available used. or they dont pack enough features.

[frank kiln]

sounds like you gotta start saving or dial in the katana better tbh

[steep peak]

the problem is here, is my ability to explain what i dislike about the katana and what it cant reach.

it lacks that tight bass heavy punch with palm mutes. the only way to reach that is by dialing in a shit ton or dialing it so that you compromise making the sound and feel completely unnatural

enough about the katana. if someone could help me with the new amp thing, feel free to do so!

[sturdy niche]

Look I'm not keen on my Katana either but...use the Brown amp with the Contour on 2 and shift the frequency up to +20. Bass on 60-70 and the rest around 40. Give that a whirl.

The contour can really do a decent job of fixing the out of the box issues with the Katana

Good luck finding much decent under your budget

[proper ridge]

get a small modeler and something like a Mooer babybomb and run it into a 2x12 or 4x12

what is your budget ? ... might be a good starting point

[sturdy niche]

Actually I have heard that running the Katana into a decent cab makes A HUGE difference

The speaker sucks from factory

I think the Artist speaker is fine

[worn radish]

you could hook up the katana into a frfr like a headrush 112 or something.

[worn radish]

It does. I have mine hooked into a jet city cab and a headrush fr12. Its loud and sounds good. Im alos not using the katana preamp though, Im using the katana poweramp for my fractal

[sturdy niche]

Have you used the preamp as well though?

[worn radish]

yea, just dont like the sound I get out of it. It does get very loud though with an external speaker setup

[steep peak]

Im also most probably buy an old Tech 21 Trademark 60w from my local music school because theyre upgrading their equipment. itll most probably be under 200€. and i could buy a nano cortex for 400€. that would be the better option for long term and more capable than the line 6 with the floorboard

I have the money but i just dont like spending it

the line 6 comes with a Line 6 Flextone II, Line 6 Floor Board, and an LTD M-50, for under 250€. i could sell the pieces individually and get profit, and then buy the tech 21 + nano cortex

[stoic jetty]

It does that for me

Boost on top of brown

[steep peak]

Yea ive messed with everything, its not good enough for me. end of story

[proper ridge]

we know... so ,.. what;s your budget ?
