Choosing an Amp 4: Does the Katana Need to Break In?
Wow. Did I make the wrong decision in choosing the Katana Artist over the Blackstar ID Core 100? Does the Katana need to break in? I'm wondering so much that there will be one more amp comparison--but, first, this little conversation about expectations and breaking in.
So it was chest & back day! I think I'm doing alright in this area, but I'm not entirely sure about my ROM vs. load, especially on lat pull-ins. Have a look at the video, and if you have constructive comments, I'd appreciate them.
Thanks for watching!

Hi, all! Here is the second of three parts of the discussion that Doug Brignole, Steve Greene, and John Taylor--all long-time bodybuilders, all title holders--were kind enough to have with me as I prepare for my first event, coming the end of this October (2021). In this segment we talk about putting things in perspective and finding motivation. Enjoy!

Here's an extra bit , a coda of sorts, to my comparison of the Fender Mustang GTX100 and the Blackstar Silverline Deluxe This is just a quick comparison of my favorite two tones from each amp. Each amp gets a chord progression and a little lead bit for each tone, then they're compared--no talking, just sound!--section by section.
If you're thinking about getting one of these amps but you're on the fence, as it were, I hope this helps you make a decision!
And if you feel so inclined, spread the Metal & Iron Love with a shirt from my Teespring site, now with five--yes, FIVE!--different designs in a variety of styles and colors: https://my-store-9774711.creator-spring.com/
Thanks again--keep lifting and keep shredding!
