I gave them a bit 'o time and watched a few reviews but still no-one can convince me that the head has a £100 more extras than the combo...

If you buy the head and the new 2x12 matching cab, you would find yourself down over £650!!  That is serious money for an amp you can buy in all intents and purposes for £170, albeit in a 1x12 and 50w.

The case for the Katana as the best amp under £350 is fairly solid no doubt, but for £650 you can get some serious kit surely?

I've got the K50 and for home use in my living room it's perfect.

Basically comes down to how badly you want MIDI. I’m still slightly grumpy about it’s absence from my 2x12 combo...

Now £163 for the 50w combo!! The head is £299 from Dawsons but it's still not cost effective unless you specifically want a head, really need MIDI, and have a cab already.

the head does seem pricey in comparrison to the combos. For me, i dont need midi, and i dont think the weight difference is that much between the combo and the head (and then youd need a cabinet for gigging). I guess they believe that pro musos would want the flexibility of a head and be prepared to pay the premium. The heads can now be had for £299, the 100 combo is £219

The biggest advantage of the head for me is as a home practice amp using the built in speaker.

not sure why thats an advantage really over the combo. the footprint is the same, the weight isnt much in it, and the combo 12" speaker sounds just as good at low volumes

As @voxman said though you already had the cab, and if I recall didnt you also have a use for midi?

If someone is looking for a good home praccy Or Jam amp, take your pick from the 50 or 100 combo?
