Reach new heights of inspiration with this 50W 1x12 EX guitar combo amplifier.
The BOSS Katana Gen 3 50W 1x12 EX guitar combo amplifier delivers upgraded power and performance for practicing or gigging musicians. BOSS's advanced Tube Logic technology provides six amp characters with the touch-sensitive expressiveness of vintage tube amps, including the new Pushed mode for harmonically rich overdrive. The upgraded 12" speaker and 50 watts of power give your playing commanding projection and presence. Connect your pedalboard or modeler to the Power Amp In and utilize the Stereo Expand function to link a second Katana for huge stereo sound. BOSS continues to lead in sound innovation with the new Katana Gen 3 amplifiers, featuring revamped I/O and six unique amp characters—expandable to 12 with the Variation button. The latest models include the PUSHED edge of breakup amp tones and the BLOOM voicing switch on the HEAD and ARTIST models, enhancing every detail of your tone with superior sound quality, a customizable UI, and optional wireless streaming via the BTS app.
Refined Tube Amp Tone and Feel
BOSS's Tube Logic circuitry authentically recreates the dynamic touch response and complex overtones of vintage tube amps. The Katana Gen 3 refines Tube Logic with enhancements to all five amp characters from previous versions, plus the new Pushed mode for tube-like saturation and harmonics at lower volumes. Select a variation for each amp character to access 12 different analog-modeled tones. The reactive amp and speaker design interacts with your playing for a dynamic feel that inspires your creativity.
Customizable Effects and Deep Editing
Shape your tone further with the Katana's independent Booster, Mod, FX, Delay and Reverb sections. Choose from over 60 premium stompbox and rack-style effects, all with deep editing parameters. Store your favorite amp and effects settings in the Katana's Tone Setting memories for one-touch recall. Connect to BOSS Tone Studio on your computer or mobile device for an intuitive software experience in creating and organizing custom patches.
One-Touch Recall of Customized Sounds
The Katana-50 EX Gen 3 lets you craft your own signature sounds using its independent booster, modulation, FX, delay and reverb sections. Then save up to four custom tones to the amp's Tone Setting memories for immediate recall using the dedicated panel buttons. Shape your tone even further with the three-band EQ and presence control. Whether you need a subtle boost for solos or ambient soundscapes for ballads, your customized effects and EQ settings are ready at your fingertips.
Performance-Ready Connectivity and Control
The Katana-50 EX is ideal for gigging and recording thanks to its Line Out, USB and Power Amp In jacks. Use the Stereo Expand function to link a second Katana for a huge stereo spread on stage. Support for the GA-FC and GA-FC EX foot controllers gives you total command of the Katana's parameters during a performance. The optional Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor provides wireless editing and backing track playback. However you use it, the Katana-50 EX is a highly capable amplifier for practice and live playing.
