+ Ability to nail your tones and effects and store it in 8 memory channels so you can be consistent with your playing tones + Possibility to play at any volumes without sacrificing tone The top panel would have been difficult to access when practising. I chose the Artist version essentially for its front panel access. I initially wanted to stick with a tube amp, but I was concerned with the necessary high playing volume to get the best out of a tube amp. I use this amp at home, so sometimes at high volume and sometimes low volume. The Boss badge is a little clunky for my taste, but I wasn’t buying the amp for its looks. (These are issues that can be improved with consecutive updates.) If you have a boost, a mid-boost, and a Proco Rat effect chosen on the boost section, the knobs must be set the same for all three of these. It’s unfortunate that you can customise settings on the pedal effects per slot, not per pedal. Boss’ Tone Studio software is a nightmare to get working and leaves a lot to be desired when it finally does. I play at the 100w setting (for headroom) in my block flats and have had no issue with neighbours thanks to the master volume. The power scaling and master volume make it an ideal practice amp. The front panel is more practical than the top panel on the 100MKII. The amp is surprisingly light weight making it easier on your back whilst travelling. It’s fuller and warmer, and sounds great with pedals. To my ears, the sound of the artist speaker is a big improvement compared with the 100MKII. The versatility of this amp is exceptional, with a wealth of onboard effects and customisation options. I’ve played all the MKII Katanas and have been really impressed by the sound, and the Artist is no exception.
