Why? For one, simply because it has a sound and feel that speaks to me and I’m inspired every time I play it.
And let’s face it: There’s really nothing like the power sag of a tube rectifier.īut despite all those great things about tube amps, my Katana Artist (v1) is my #1 amp for both stage and studio.
My Fender Hot Rod Deluxe has a hauntingly rich and beautiful clean tone. With my Plexi-style amps, there really is nothing like the high-end sizzle when the amp is cranked. They’re all set up differently and each has its own distinctive characteristics. I have eight tube amps ranging in wattage from 5 watts to 50 watts. Still, there are those folks out there who will argue that it’s still just a solid-state amp and could never be as good as a real tube amp. Much love has been given out to the BOSS Katana amp line since it was released and over time, it has gained many devotees myself included.
