| Same here. Three years, dozens of gigs, not a single issue. |

mine has been 100% reliable with light duty use, but I wouldn't trust it to withstand the years of touring abuse that I put on my NV112 - it's definitely not built anywhere near as sturdily (but to be fair it's both cheaper and lighter which factored in to my decision to buy it). Seeing as mine is not going in and out of a trailer every night like the Peavey did, I feel confident it will hold up to normal use

Somewhat agree with Stew on that. It’s not my Mesa Boogie either, but I didn’t want that.
The first things I would expect to wear out would be the power level selector switch knob and the amp model selector knob, which do not come to hard stops like a switch should. Luckily, once you have your patches set up, you don’t have to mess with either of those too much. The cabinet seems pretty well built to me. Hopefully the software and circuitry are solid. But, something’s bound to go glitchy if it gets jostled around on the road for years. The first Katana’s are only what, 5-6 years old now? Not long enough to really speak to their durability. |
