Well, congratulations are in order I guess. Now you have the digital Boss multi fx and the digital Katana. Lots of fun with all those knobs and options

Yeah, gulp. I'll decide how deep I want to go into the website options. I suspect not very! I haven't been to Blackstar's horrible portal for over two years as it didn't really do anything useful. I'll have to ask salteedog about the promises and pitfalls of going there. I'll more likely find the sounds I want right in front of me. Can't bear presets and I'm not even particularly interested in storing my own. I'd rather fiddle there in the room. Even live I find having presets for each song horrid on the Boss ME-70 because it kind of assumes every room is the same and that you don't want to switch effects on and off mid song. I'm really a pedals guy but the multifx box is convenient to transport the way I use it. IF I use the Katana as a live amp rather than a monitor I'm likely to do little with the onboard effects other than some reverb and possibly switching the amp style. BUT for recording I'm very interested in what it will do, especially for re-amping. I haven't found a happy overdrive/distortion sound on the ME-70. Fingers and toes crossed.

Digitech RP225 has very bad sounding ODs and Distortions. Actually the only thing I use it for is the Bassman amp sim with 4x10" cab sim, Reverb is nice and some of the FX are good too. Its handy for recording but Im trying to mic my Big Bugera from now on since the tone is just different.
Im now looking for stomp pedals and will likely first buy the once no other brand can do; TC Hall of Fame and TC Sub'n'Up. After these are in my possession I will likely go for the Mooer mini pedals like their Clean Boost, Black Secret and Blues Crab. I already have the American Sound for my main Fender simulation but am looking at the CKK Lunar Drive (Dumble style) for a more creamy tone which I seem to prefer.
Im trying to get the Digitech out of me pedal chain and use it only when necessary (quick recording).

Sounds like bargain DefJef, I contemplated paying full price for one a while back then decided I’m not smart enough for anything more than valves and a couple of knobs. I sense this may be going through a window eventually mate.

I would pay a person to get that out of my house big no from me. I remember the VOX VT20+ amp and me getting dizzy and nauseous after trying to find a usable tone! My Digitech RP225 is still in the house only because of its Bassman 59 amp sim and the FX. Easy plug n record. I'm staying away from digital fiddling and desire a few good stomp boxes instead into my beloved Bugera V55. I wish you all the best with it though just remember you can always sell it and even make a profit save that money and wait for a 2nd hand Bugera You know you want one!

Fortunately it's turning to spring round here ... Oh yes, here also today was the very first day my bees are flying and collecting early Spring pollen! I had 6 colonies going into Winter and now I see all 6 of them flying today I hope all are strong because weak ones will have hard time to build up for the honey flow!

I wish you all the best with it though just remember you can always sell it and even make a profit save that money and wait for a 2nd hand Bugera You know you want one! After some fiddling I got it into Fender Champ territory just using the manual controls. Thank goodness no need to enter into software billhooks. Surprisingly I needed to take a lot of top off and boost the bass and mids a bit. (? I thought Fenders were mid scooped? ! ). Now the only difference I'm hearing is the reverb. So, having done that I now need to find sounds that I don't have already! But not today 'cos it's getting too cold out here.
