BOSS has introduced the Katana-50 Gen 3, a compact and powerful addition to their acclaimed stage amplifier series, designed to elevate guitarists' ambitions. This 50-watt combo amp features the latest Tube Logic enhancements, offering superior sound, feel, and response, including the new expressive Pushed amp character. The updated BOSS Tone Studio app simplifies remote amp and effects editing, making it more intuitive than ever.
The Katana-50 Gen 3 is equipped with a custom 12-inch speaker, delivering punchy, stage-ready sound. It offers six amp characters, including the newly developed Pushed type, each with a selectable variation, providing twelve distinctive tones. Five independent effects sections - Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb - offer fifteen unique effects, enhanced sound quality, and grab-and-go parameter controls. With four Tone Setting memories, users can store and recall complete amp and effect setups effortlessly.
An integrated Power Control allows players to achieve cranked-amp tones at lower volumes without sacrificing sound quality, ideal for both live performances and quiet practice sessions. The BOSS Tone Studio app offers deep parameter controls, effect order adjustments, multiple EQ settings, and new visual enhancements, making tone crafting faster and more intuitive. Players can customise the onboard effects from over 60 different types and save and organise Livesets for different playing applications.
Versatile connectivity options include a Power Amp In for preamps, modellers, and multi-effects, a stereo headphones jack, and a USB output with IR-based cabinet sound. This connectivity allows for quiet practice, direct recording, and integration with music production software on computers and mobile devices. The amp also supports footswitches and an expression pedal for expanded control, compatible with the optional Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor for wireless editing from the BTS app.
The Katana-50 Gen 3 leverages BOSS's advanced Tube Logic technology, recreating the complex interactions of tube circuitry at a component level. This approach delivers the coveted tone and feel of classic tube amps, refined further with this latest generation. The Pushed character offers touch-responsive gain of a clean combo driven into harmonic saturation, appealing to edge-of-breakup fans.
For those looking to expand their range, the Power Amp In jack lets users bypass the Katana preamp to use the reactive Class AB power section with an external modeller or preamp. This makes the Katana-50 Gen 3 an excellent monitor for direct-to-PA pedalboard setups.
BOSS Tone Exchange allows players to download and share Katana sounds globally, enhancing the community experience. The Katana-50 Gen 3's connectivity and comprehensive tone-shaping tools make it an indispensable centrepiece for studio recording, live performance, and daily practice.
