Re: New amp day! Mesa Heartbreaker.
Yeah, you don't see many of these out there. I like them better than Twins, as they can get dirty, channel switch, voicing options... ...but don't you have a Twin? Either way, I love Mesas. FWIW, my "Twin" is a 1980 100W Mesa MKIIA 1x12" combo with an EVM12L. It was a UPS damage rescue. My intention...

Re: New Boss IR-2 Amp & Cabinet
The BCB30 headphone/direct amp! Only way to make this more convenient is to mount it up. Put an '88 long chip DD3 in the IR2 loop, but this might get swapped for a GE7, as either pedal is quite useful. Also, a TU3W (with buffer bypassed-a cool feature) in there, too, because you always need a tuner....

Re: New Boss Katana-500 Bass Head + Katana Cabinet 112
The bassist in me also likes the Katana format. Lots of features and tweaks available on the panel, but a deep dive into the Tone Studio editor really brings out the details. I tend to play simple heads and use one of my three bass boards for the needed effects and processing. If an amp is not neede...

Re: New Boss Katana-500 Bass Head + Katana Cabinet 112
The Katana guitar amps are great. I like how they are pretty straight forward, but you can deep dive when using Tone Studio. I totally understand how gigging players like to use them. You can set it up to be pretty similar to your favorite type of amp and then get the benefit of plug and play as wel...

Re: New Boss IR-2 Amp & Cabinet
Got it, after 3 1/2 months wait. Well worth it! Does everything I expected and needed. Used it with some Sony MDR7506 headphones and went through the various amp/tone platforms. Interestingly, I found two of the Boss MDP models the most to my liking: Clean and Modded. Clean was big and full. It also...

Re: Boss IR-2 with footswitch
So I got some hands on time with the IR2. Here's how to get fast response from effect to bypass mode and then bypass to effect mode. 1. Use an external footswitch for red to green/channel toggling. Not only is this essential for quick bypass and engagement, but the footswich has to be a momentary/un...

Re: Boss IR-2 with footswitch
I don't have my IR2 yet, it's arriving tomorrow, so I can't answer with direct experience. By this time Wednesday, I will have a full report... However, I can relate some things I picked up reading the IR2 manual (to familiarize myself before it's arrival), how the IR2 is intended to be used, and al...
