Boss Katana Artist

KATANA amps have received worldwide acclaim for their authentic tube tone and feel, onboard BOSS effects, and exceptional value.

Outfitted with a premium 12-inch Waza speaker, semi-closed cabinet, newly retuned amp characters, and much more, the 100-watt KATANA-Artist is a powerhouse tone machine for all types of music, from blues, jazz, and country to the heaviest rock styles.

KATANA Version 3: Added Effect Types, New Real-Time Control Assignments, and Stereo Effects When Recording via USB

The KATANA Version 3 update enhances the stage-class KATANA amp lineup with even more performance versatility. New effect types include the legendary Roland DC-30 Analog Chorus-Echo, classic BOSS GE-10 Graphic Equalizer, and expressive 95E pedal wah, providing iconic tones that perfectly match the KATANA’s Brown amp character. In addition, BOSS Tone Studio offers the ability to assign favorite parameters for quick-access control from the front-panel effects knobs and create custom control assignments for up to three connected expression pedals. And when tracking in a DAW via USB, it’s now possible to capture true stereo sound with many of the KATANA’s modulation, EQ, delay, and reverb effects.
