I have a 2nd Generation Katana 50w 1x12. I bought it for something I could get some good low volume sounds. I don’t play out, just house friendly volume levels these days. I only use the reverb, as I’ve never really been an effects guy. It gets the job done quite well. I’m sure it would never be able to capture the vibes of a cranked tube-amp, it sure would save your back!
