Katana 100 Mk 2 speakers and headphone at the same time

I’d agree Majik and that’s what we do but it all depends what amps etc. you are using. I still see plenty of bands mic’ing amps even today so it’s still pretty common.

To a degree if he’s using the bose and you’re using an amp that sort of explains why you are getting lost in the mix a bit (even from your own perspective). I suspect he’s got a one man band setup which he uses all the time and of course you’re just joining him for the odd song. If you are doing a longer set it would be a good idea to see if you could both utilise that Bose BUT even better would be - as Majik says - if he’s got a little mixer that you could all plug into and then go into one of the channels of the Bose…that would be the preferred approach as it’s easier to adjust your mix etc. I’d be gob smacked if he doesn’t have a mixer.

Man, all this production stuff! I have a hard enough time with just me and my guitar!

I will remain the Luddite I am and use steel strings, wood and air.

What and miss all the fun. There is always the DAW to keep you on your toes.

Just an update, I have found the solution for anyone else who has the need to hear what they are playing on stage. I bought a cheap set of in ear wireless monitors(Air Bridge) and I plugged the transmitter module into the LINE OUT socket on the back of the Katana 100 Mk II using a a suitable lead. I can now plug in the headset or earbuds into the receiver module and I can hear what I am playing as well as the rest of the band.

As usual the simple solution works best, all for the cost of about £50 + the ear buds
