BOSS Katana

Powered by advanced Tube Logic technology and reactive Class AB power, the BOSS Katana series has set the standard for guitarists since its debut in 2016. Built on decades of BOSS innovation, Katana amps deliver professional, tube-inspired tone alongside modern features like built-in effects, one-touch memory recall, deep sound customization, and a lightweight design. Now, with Katana Gen 3, the series offers even greater versatility, giving you a playing experience that stands out from the rest.

Advanced Tube Logic Tones

Tube Logic meticulously replicates the intricate behaviour of tube circuitry, capturing the sought-after tone and feel of classic tube amps. Building on this, BOSS have refined the five amp characters from previous Katana models, including the signature high-gain Brown setting. The new Pushed character introduces enhanced dynamics, delivering a touch-sensitive gain that transforms a clean combo into rich harmonic saturation. Each of the six amp characters also features a selectable variation, offering 12 unique tones to cover a wide range of musical styles.

“Sweet Spot” Sound
at Any Volume

Every tube amp enthusiast knows that as the volume increases, the tone becomes fuller, richer, and more responsive. However, this often means the amp gets too loud for many settings. While external power attenuators are a common fix, they can alter the amp’s natural tone and feel. Katana Gen 3’s integrated Power Control offers the ideal solution, allowing you to achieve that cranked-amp sound without sacrificing quality. Simply adjust the panel knob to control volume transparently, making it perfect for everything from live performances to bedroom practice.

Famous BOSS Effects

Katana Gen 3 comes equipped with five simultaneous effect categories, featuring essential selections from the renowned BOSS library. The Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb sections provide superior sound quality, intuitive parameter controls, and three variations each, giving you access to 15 unique effects. With BOSS Tone Studio, you can explore even more options by customizing the onboard effects from a selection of 60 different types and adjusting advanced settings not accessible from the amp’s panel. Plus, with the optional Bluetooth® Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor, you can wirelessly edit sounds on stage using the BTS editor app on your smartphone.

Sound Shaping

BOSS Tone Studio for Katana Gen 3 features updated visual enhancements and customizable graphics, making it easier and quicker to create your ideal tone. You can explore various amp and effect editing tools, rearrange effect order, and fine-tune your overall sound using the three-way Contour control and multiple EQ options. Set up system-wide settings and behaviours, and organize custom configurations for all your performances. Plus, you can access BOSS Tone Exchange to download professional setups and share sounds with the global Katana community.

Complete Stage Command

The Katana-50 EX Gen 3 is equipped with a range of powerful features designed for modern performers. With Four Tone Setting memories, you can easily store and recall complete amp and effect setups. The rear-panel jacks enable remote control using footswitches and an expression pedal. The GA-FC and GA-FC EX Foot Controllers further enhance your performance capabilities, offering comprehensive stage control for your Katana Gen 3. Switch between Tone Settings, activate or deactivate effects, and connect multiple expression pedals effortlessly. The GA-FC EX model also includes an expansion option, allowing you to double your footswitches or control two Katana amps simultaneously.
