The same goes for effects, and I ran into a problem with this that we will discuss later. When it came to sounds, I tried to be as consistent as I could be, making them the settings the same on both amps. I used my Schecter NJ HSSto test both amps since it has single coils, and a humbucker. To eliminate any variables I decided to bring a guitar that I know really well, that has a lot of tonal options. Over the weekend, I spent time with both amps at my local affiliate store, and I did all of these comparisons side by side. Because this can get confusing really quick since both amps are so similar. “Line 6 Catalyst VS BOSS Katana” is something that needs to happen. People want to know they pros and cons between the two. So while they may be different to someone like me that has had the opportunity to try them both out, the average guitarist looking for an amp will probably compare these two. I’m glad I went about it that way, because it turns out that while the Catalyst is very similar to the Katana, they are actually quite different in the way they operate.īut there is no doubt that these amps are very similar, and they will be compared by the consumers. The Catalyst is a new product, and it deserved its own review without comparison. I made no comparisons to the Katana in that review, because I thought that would be very unfair to Line 6. But instead of making last week’s article a “Line 6 Catalyst VS BOSS Katana” type of article, I stayed neutral and reviewed the amp alone. Even the names have the same alliteration, and there is no denying that Line 6 took some aesthetic design notes from the Katana. At first, I wanted to do a direct comparison with the BOSS Katana, because Line 6isn’t fooling anyone here. Last week we got to take a look at the brand new Line 6 Catalyst 100 amplifier.
