I'm so close to selling my Marshall since i'm not gigging that much anymore, I just got my second Seismic Audio 1x12 cab today. I wish my other cab was at my house so I could stack the two for my mini stack tone :rockin, so glad I have the head now and with this setup I feel I can play anywhere.

My Katana setup
Katana head + Boss ME-X + iPhone 4 (midi mapper)
Playing in a coverband without too much direction (direction Rock ;D) I find myself, as many guitar players, challenged to fullfill the many tonal requests that will fit the many different musical styles.
The twang from the eagles doesn't match the doom guitars from HIM so in comes the Katana with 8 presets, 28 amps, 55 effects, etc.
I have set up 8 basic, but different, amp tones: so each preset uses a different amp. I like 'em all but the combination of my fender Toronado and the Tweed is my favourite right now. Wraauw! ;)
Routing guitarsignal: guitar -> boss me-x -> katana.
Routing control signal: boss me-x midi -> iPhone 4 midi adapter -> katana head
The Boss ME-X (Boss MS-3 's grand dad) hosts 3 loops/pedals: in my case a quality treble booster (trebletool/guitarsystems- dallas rangemaster clone), a cheaper transparent overdrive (pure sky/caline- timmy clone) and a cheaper distortion (ultimate drive/harley benton- ocd clone). The boss me-x has effects onboard: EQ, chorus, flanger, pitchshifter, delays and reverbs. It has 25 presets, 5 banks x 5 programs and MIDI out! It can also control amps with the EXT amp channel switch. The ME-X has a slick casing, the power supports more than 3 pedals. It has a built in tuner and can be used in pedal mode.
Imagine these possibilities: the 3 loops with pedals can be stored in a preset on the ME-X, I can use one or multiple pedals (stack) and effects from the ME-X simultaneously. I use the GA-FC in front in effects mode.
So yes: that's a shitload of possibilities. :o
MIDI mapping
So, why the iPhone 4, with a cracked screen?
I wondered why most multi effects do not support program change map when SENDING midi program changes.(TC Nova+ Rocktron Utopia do this, most guitar multifx map only when receiving midi pc messages)
Example: When I want to use preset 3 bank 4 and press that preset pedal on the boss me-x, I want preset 1 on the katana. A app called freEWI and midibridge from audeonic and a roland um one midi interface makes this happening.
In the rehearsal room I have a Marshall 1936 cabinet for playing with the band.
Wishlist:
Midx-20 (ordered one ;D)
Boss katana cabinet
Cheers,

Cool setup. What app are you using for midi?
https://itunes.apple.com/nl/app/freewi/id485711674?mt=8
Audeonic apps
freEWI and midibridge
You can use freEWI standalone when you program the streambyter module in the app. That isn't as hard as it sounds.
A little different from a guitar, but here we go :)

The new pedalboard! Katana 100 combo only now, got rid of the GT-1000.
Guess I'm kind of bland here. Hey! They didn't call me "One Wire Willie" for nothing.
