so basically before I got this I was wondering if you get a Peavy Vypyr X3 or this, I 100% recommend the boss, so many things you can do in tone studio, it's amazing, you like recording? Plug your katana into your pc and just record in your DAW, 80s thrash tones sound amazing, love the pushed channel with a overdrive and some parametric EQ, very great amp. Recommend, best for price.
