      Re: Budget 2x12 combos: Boss Katana or Blackstar Core:ID?

      My personal experience (after playing music for over 20 years).

      The Blackstar "Id:Core" sounds HORRIBLE. I bought one of the smaller combos (the 2x20 watt one), and ALL of the sounds were NASTY, :/ cool with all the effects and all,

      some of the reverbs were really nice. But the "main tone" and the preamp sounds- were just ... nasty. I returned it.


      Tried the Boss Katana aswell, that one has the classic "COSM" tone- that some love, and others hate.

      I personally can't stand any kind/type of digital equipment- but would REALLY prefer the Boss one .

      rock on! \m/

        Personal preference and taste MAY VARY!

        \m/

        EDIT: I've found cool (though really "cosm" flavoured) tones from Boss digital gear;
        but the Blackstar digital stuff, just turned me off, HARD. :/

        best wishes.

          Managed to track down a Katana 2x12 from a school supplies shop (who knew). Had to pay full MSRP, but these are the times we live in! Thanks for your input, everyone, it was a big help. I might have dodged a bullet not just getting the Blackstar out of desperation.

              Ok Cool!

              The Katana amps are alot of amp for the budget. And can be tweaked *alot*

              congrats.!
