Big, loud, and actually quite flexible
You can't get much more awesome sauce than a Boss Katana. Regardless of which wattage you pick, you're going to have a very complete package. But you should definitely go for the 100W version, because you'll get a HUGE sound once thought impossible from a combo amp. Even with only half a watt (because you can select that) it screams. Turn it up louder, and it roars. I recorded some audio onto my PC, then played it back using this amp while I was playing my drums, and had zero problem hearing it, even on the throne in the thick of the noise. As for effects...well, I've played with it for days, using my PC and the on-board hardware, and it amazes me just how much sound you can yank out of this thing. And it's far, far more easy to use than other multi-effects combo amps, because thick knobs and colored LEDs are far more intuitive to use than a tiny little LCD with more sub-menus than a BMW iDrive system. And there's an effects loop in there if that isn't even enough for you. Even if a 100W combo amp isn't enough for you to gig with, this thing is more than enough to record with. And for that reason, it gets 5 stars from me!
