BOSS Katana 50 Gen 3

The third generation of Boss Katana Gen 3 guitar modelers offers even more refined sounds and feel of classic amps with improved BOSS Tube Logic technology, an updated BOSS Tone Studio app for even easier and more intuitive editing on PC or mobile device, and six new guitar sound characters, where the five sound modes from previous versions of Boss Katana (Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brown and Acoustic) are complemented by Pushed mode, which gives you a sound at the interface of clean and overdrive, where virtual tubes start to gently draw. As with the older version of Boss Katana, the third generation lets you choose between two more voicings of each mode (the Variations switch).

The Boss Katana 50 Gen 3 is a guitar modeling combo with 50 watts of power. Thanks to the Power Control function (50W, 25W, 0.5W) you can enjoy the "kicked up" sound and response of the machine even at room volume. Within the wide range of machine sounds, you'll easily find your own - whether you're more into oldies retro tones, more modern hi-gain or looking for a sound optimised for electro-acoustic guitars. The effect unit offers a total of fifteen effects in five categories (Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, Reverb), and you can use all five effect groups simultaneously to fully replace the boxes in your pedalboard. By connecting to BOSS Tone Studio software you can go even further - you can customise sections with over 60 different effect types, change the order of effects in strings and much more.

The modeling combo also offers compatibility with sounds/presets from older versions of Boss Katana guitar modelers, the ability to save your favorite type and effect settings in the Tone Setting memories and recall them instantly (four Tone Settings memories are available and you can select from them directly from the panel), control via external footswitches (recommended footswitches FS-5L, FS-6, FS-7 not included), ability to download and share sounds on Boss Tone Exchange, power amp input, USB port for recording directly to DAW, headphone output and Aux In input.
