I ordered a BOSS Katana Artist last week and was expecting delivery tomorrow. But this morning, I checked the delivery status, and FedEx updated the delivery to TODAY! I am SO jazzed!
After I came down from my little celebration, I thought to myself, This is one of the reasons why I’ve been such a gear slut all these years. There really is nothing like the high you get anticipating the arrival of new gear!
Whether I’m waiting for some equipment to be finished with construction or waiting for the delivery of some cool gear, I love that feeling of butterflies in my stomach at the thought of un-boxing and unwrapping a brand new… whatever…
With respect to the Katana Artist, I’m anticipating getting it dialed in to do direct recording AND plugging it directly into my PA board. Even if all I can achieve is getting a good clean tone when going direct in, I can still use pedals. The convenience factor is pretty incredible.
I also got the BOSS GA-FC foot controller so I can dial in various patches. But with the Katana, since I have four channels per bank, I’m going to set up one bank for electric, the other bank for acoustic. With my Katana 50, though it wasn’t a dedicated acoustic amp, I was still able to dial in a great acoustic tone. And given this, it will be great to be able to use a single amp to serve two different purposes. Very excited about this.
Of course, experience has shown that I may not be able to check off all the boxes of what I’d like to do with the amp, but I do love exploring all the different possibilities!
