for the money I can't say I know of a better amp.
the Katana was a far better tone, but I think that might be due to my preference for more modern tones, or at least the Katana's ability to reproduce modern tones.
I've got the 100, sounds pretty good so far, although only used it on the 0.5w setting at home. I prefer the clean setting with the built in drive pedals over the driven amp settings, but so far so good. Some good built in effects and sounded good with my pedalboard.
That being said it does seem a bit steep.
My comment and if I was being honest I don't think I actually got it to 4, maybe 3.5. The 50 would have been more than enough even given the reduced cabinet size.
Interestingly (and @ICBM would probably explain this better), the power consumption of the 100 is 77w while the 50 draws 47w, I imagine (guessing tbh) this would make the smaller amp closer to its claimed output than the 100, meaning there is even less of a difference in perceived volume than the 50w and 100w claims suggest.
Apologies in advance to all amp/electrical types who have just slapped their forehead in disbelief at my stupidity
Or is it? I always assumed that the power consumptions were correct (because I thought they had to be to comply with regulations) and the outputs were exaggerated (because it's a good marketing approach), but when I measured my little 200W Ampeg that claims to draw only 150W, I found it was the other way round - the power output was genuine, and the draw was actually 288W.
So without measuring the Boss, I don't know. It's possible they're allowed to rate the consumption as an average in normal use, or something.
