Thanks

Added this to my collection but then changed the Marshall to the Orange Supercrush 100 combo which is a better amp PRS SE Swamp Ash

I went for the Orange Supercrush 100 combo ! Superb sounding amp and loaded with a Celestion Redback

Yep the Katana is too digital sounding which is no surprise as that’s exactly what it is I’ve now got the Orange Supercrush 100 and that sounds very good

My new rig Orange Super Crush 100 This has surprised me how good it sounds both clean and dirty 12” Celestion Redback 150w speaker loaded and all solid state so only 18kg weight

Just added the Boss GA-FC EX footswitch Liking the tones I can get from this and sounds lovely on the 0.5w setting home use

Very impressive amp sitting on the Boss stand

The Marshall rig ( now up for sale ) was lovely but not ideal for home playing and occasional jams with buddies, more a rig that needed to be gigged ideally ( I’m no longer gigging ) Decided the Katana was sufficient to play at low volume at home without pedals and loud enough to jam with band buddies Just took the easy route and a one hand carry to the car so less lifting hassle The 100w Gen 3 combo will be ideal and I’ve purchased the Boss combo stand too Sold my pedals and pedalboard which nearly paid for the Katana !

Changed to a Katana Gen3 100w !

My rig Epi Les Paul 2024 Standard Marshall Origin 20H Marshall OR 212 cab Pedals in front Tuner- Boss SD-1 - MXR Carbon Copy Amp set on edge of breakup with drive pedal for crunch sounds

Are you sitting really close to your amp perhaps ? What about any pedals in use before the amp such as drive pedals ? Does it only do it on the single coil pickups ?

Just seen the new low cost Standard Series Fender range circa £450 -£500 each Not sure they needed them as the Player II series is decent and in the market

Update * New Origin Rig

Decided to get the Marshall Origin 20 head and matching 212A cab Very impressed as a pedal platform amp Using a Boss SD-1 in front results in great 70’s AC / DC tones at lower volumes for home use

Yes they match perfectly The guitar plays very well, one of the best set up out of the box guitars I’ve ever purchased Action is around 1.5mm which is impressive I think for a factory setup Intonation spot on too
