The BOSS Katana Head Gen 3 represents the pinnacle of modern guitar amplification, combining the warmth and responsiveness of tube circuitry with cutting-edge digital innovation. This 100-watt Class AB powerhouse features enhanced Tube Logic technology that recreates authentic tube amp behaviour at a component level, whilst the new Pushed amp character provides that coveted edge-of-breakup tone that guitarists crave. The integrated Bloom circuit adds a completely different dimension to your sound with sharper attack and richly dynamic low-end response, characteristics that are typically difficult to achieve simultaneously.
Six distinct amp characters, each with selectable variations, provide 12 unique tonal foundations, from pristine cleans to the iconic high-gain Brown type. The comprehensive effects suite includes five simultaneous categories - Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb - drawn from BOSS's legendary effects library. With the updated BOSS Tone Studio app, you gain access to 60 different effect types and deep customisation options, whilst the BOSS Tone Exchange platform connects you to a global community of Katana users for sharing and downloading professional setups.
Professional connectivity options make the Katana Head Gen 3 incredibly versatile for any musical situation. The Power Control feature allows you to achieve cranked-amp inspiration at manageable volumes, whilst the built-in 5-inch speaker provides convenient practice and tone-checking capabilities. Eight Tone Setting memories store complete amp and effect configurations, and comprehensive I/O includes stereo expansion capabilities, Power Amp In for external preamps, USB-C recording interface, and support for the GA-FC and GA-FC EX foot controllers for complete stage control.
