Boss Katana 50 EX Gen 3 Guitar Combo Amplifier

The BOSS Katana-50 EX Gen 3 represents the pinnacle of modern amplifier engineering, combining decades of BOSS expertise with cutting-edge Tube Logic technology to deliver professional-grade tone that adapts to any playing environment. This third-generation evolution features six distinctive amp characters, including the newly developed Pushed type that captures the sweet spot of edge-of-breakup dynamics, while the upgraded 12-inch speaker provides enhanced projection and resonance specifically designed for stage performance. The integrated Power Control system allows musicians to achieve that coveted cranked-amp sound and responsiveness at any volume level, eliminating the need for external attenuators that can compromise tone quality.

Five simultaneous effect categories draw from BOSS’s legendary effects library, offering Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb sections with three variations each for a total of 15 unique effects accessible directly from the panel. The updated BOSS Tone Studio application transforms sound customisation with intuitive visual enhancements and access to 60 different effect types, while the BOSS Tone Exchange platform connects you to a global community of Katana users for sharing and downloading professional setups. Four Tone Setting memories provide instant recall of complete amp and effect configurations, making this amplifier an indispensable tool for studio recording, live performance, and daily practice sessions.

Professional connectivity options include stereo headphone output, line output, and USB-C recording capabilities, all featuring IR-based cabinet simulation for exceptional direct tone quality. The GA-FC and GA-FC EX Foot Controllers unlock complete stage control with access to eight total Tone Settings, individual effect switching, and expression pedal integration, while the optional Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor enables wireless editing and audio playback from mobile devices.
