![]() I have some great presets for every guitar that I own and there are multiple ways to record the Katana. When in the studio, I have been using the Katana a lot. The thing about the Katana, is that it is a rare product that actually lives up to the hype. Every guitar forum on the planet has recommendations for the Katana, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro that’s gigging on the weekends. The Katana series came out of nowhere a few years ago, and took over the modeling amp world. But the big elephant in the room when it comes to modeling amps is the BOSS Katana. ![]() Well it looks like we finally have the closest thing to an Helix amp that we will ever get. But then we took a look at the newest models, and found the Spyder to be totally useable! Our review of the Spyder showed that Line 6 was doing much better with its amp tech. The Spyder series used to get a lot of flack as well, since they were notorious for being REALLY bad. ![]() The company has released a new Spyder series amp every few years, with new upgrades and features. HX technology is absolutely amazing, and full of potential.īut Line 6 has stuck with the tried and true formula when it comes to amplifier products. The sounds are almost limitless when it comes to HX technology these days, and can edit and program almost any sound you hear in your head. The Helix is definitely the flagship model, and it has been used on stages and studios around the world. The company went from being a joke with the original POD series, to being the leader in the industry of professional effects units. I don’t think that its a secret that we love Line 6 around here. I eventually realized i was using the computer out of curiosity (and it was a load of fun) and that the standard factory setup of 15 effects provided my beginner ears with more than enough options.īut if you're interested in sound design, or maybe trying to get the exact sound of a Pink Floyd track, using the computer will give you a lot to play with.The Line 6 Catalyst 100 just surprised everyone this week! I think we all know who this amp is trying to compete with, don’t we? Today we take a serious deep dive into the newest Line 6 creation. This is my first electric guitar and amp. I also download some crazy signal chains that made it sound more like a synthesizer. The first couple of weeks I owned the amp, I geeked out with the virtually unlimited number of options and adjustments available using the computer. You can download that recipe to you computer and load it to the amp. The amount of parameters is mind boggling.ģ) You can rearrange the pedal order in the signal chain.Ĥ) There are sites where someone has figured out a signal chain that sounds for example like David Gilmour. But when you connect a computer, you have access to many, many, many more tweakable parameters. If you had the equivalent physical pedal, you might have several more knobs. For example if you never use the Blues Drive you can reassign its position (Booster/Green) to be one of the dozens of other Boss effects.Ģ) The amp only has one knob to tweak an effect. Out if necessity, I keep the above cheat sheet taped to the amp in front of the controls.ġ) You can change the effect associated with each category/choice. For example: Blues Drive->Octave->Spring Reverb. So you can have from zero to five effects in your signal chain.
