Yeah, with a custom setting that turns it into a Friedman BE-OD.........

The Katana 50 seems pretty cheap, £165 for a 50w 12" combo isn't bad at all. 

I agree.  If the acoustic amp model is any good it could be an absolute bargain.  I doubt it will be though....

TimmyO

With demos like these it won't be flying off the shelves...

bingefeller

I'm guessing that's with the built in speaker.   It has potential.  

hugbot

Lol holy shit 

TTBZ

Sounds awful in both videos!

nah, if i wanted to sound like a friedman i'd buy a friedman. i haven't been blown away by any of the BE-OD demos yet.

Sassafras

What a strange demo. It's almost as if they don't want anyone to buy them.

JDE

I'm buying a Katana, no fucks given. 

mellowsun

This demo is better

bingefeller

Sounds great Mellowsun.  Hopefully they will make smaller bedroom models for NAMM 2017.

ehh, the cleans and effects sound nice, but its got that congested sound I associate with most low end high gain amps.

hugbot

This looks pretty epic.

Hmmmmm... colour me interested.

Fuccckkkiinnnn 'ell! 6 and a half grand?!

Drew_TNBD

Hmmm.... no. It's a bit of a fail imho.

Number of User Sample: Maximum 500 (includes factory preloaded user samples)
Sound Length (total): 24 minutes in mono, 12 minutes in stereo
File formats that can be loaded: WAV (44.1 kHz, 16/24 bits)

12 minutes.... Why are we not at the point where we have a decent amount of space on these brains? The only company that has done anything usable is 2Box. Yamaha and Roland consistently screw the pooch.
