Another Boss Katana head amp user here.
Its perfect for bedroom rehearsals, along with a 1/8 mini input jack for jam tracks.
I use the acoustic setting at 100 watts.. gets the job done.

That's a beautiful guitar!

I was able to purchase a Kelly Green one, serial number #006 that he built.
I wish he would have signed mine.
