Boss Katana Head Gen3

The third generation of Boss Katana Gen 3 guitar hybrids 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 Head Gen 3 is a guitar hybrid amp with 100 watts of power. Thanks to the Power Control function (100W, 50W, 0.5W) you can enjoy the "kicked up" sound and response of the machine even at room volume. Within the wide range of instrument sounds, it's easy to 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 amp also offers compatibility with sounds/presets from earlier versions of Boss Katana guitar hybrids, the ability to save your favourite settings for types and effects in the Tone Setting memories and recall them instantly (eight Tone Settings memories are available, and you can select from them directly from the panel), a three-band EQ complete with a three-position Contour switch and a Bloom switch to change the response and feel of the machine, an effects loop for easy integration of your favorite pedal effects, linking two Boss Katana 100 Gen 3 stowatts with Stereo Expand, control via external footswitches (recommended footswitches FS-5L, FS-6, FS-7 not included), GA-FC support, the ability to download and share sounds on Boss Tone Exchange, power amp input, USB port for recording directly to your DAW, MIDI compatibility, three Cab Resonance settings (Vintage, Modern and Deep), headphone output and Aux In input.
