The new BOSS KATANA Gen3's enhanced Tube Logic architecture powers six amp voices—Brown, Lead, Crunch, Pushed, Clean and Acoustic, plus variations for each. There are more than 60 onboard effects (including reverb, delay, modulation, boost) and 15 effects options are selectable per channel/tone setting—five of which can be used simultaneously. There’s a USB-C jack for computer connectivity, as well as expanded editing features via the BOSS Tone Studio app. Bluetooth for iOS/Android mobile devices is available with the optional BT-DUAL adaptor. Line Out/Cabinet options include multiple mic-emulation options with controls for positioning and room ambience. Some features are offered on specific KATANA models only, such as Bloom power-amp voicing (HEAD, ARTIST, ARTIST-HEAD).

“The flexibility of the KATANA is amazing,” says Southern California blues guitarist Kirk Fletcher (Joe Bonamassa, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Charlie Musselwhite), as he demoed the as he demoed the KATANA Gen3 50-EX model. “I can play onstage, practice, or rehearse and the sound stays consistent for every setting. You can also record direct to your computer or use the BOSS Tone Studio app for KATANA Gen3 to edit settings and more. I play mostly blues and I use a pretty clean tone with reverb, so I’m gravitating to the Pushed amp setting. It sounds just like a non-master volume amplifier, and that’s where I live. I feel like those rich harmonics are really accentuated with a non-master amp. The Pushed setting lets me play with all of the harmonics, and I can add this pillow of reverb. It’s fantastic.”

The BOSS KATANA Gen3 guitar amplifier series encompasses the KATANA-50 50 watt 1x12 combo, KATANA-50 EX 50 watt 1x12 combo, KATANA-100 100 watt 1x12 and 2x12 combos, the 100 watt KATANA-HEAD (includes 1x5 onboard speaker), and the 100 watt KATANA-ARTIST 1x12 combo and KATANA-ARTIST HEAD.
