BOSS Katana 100 GEN 3 100W

The stage ready BOSS Katana 100 GEN 3 100w, 1x12' guitar combo is the next generation of a modern classic! It features an evolved Tube Logic sound, 12 amp characters, onboard BOSS effects, advanced connectivity, and more.

BOSS have evolved the Tube Logic amp architecture that drives the Katana GEN 3 amps, to recreate even more inspiring, tube-like sounds. Tube Logic looks at how tube circuitry interacts, down to component level, allowing for the coveted tone and feel of classic valve amps, all right under your fingers. 

There are 6 amps characters in this GEN 3 Katana 100: Acoustic, Clean, Pushed, Crunch, Lead and Brown, each having a selectable variation giving you access to 12 distinctive tones that will cover all genres. Thanks to the integrated Power Control you'll also get access to those tonal sweet spots whatever your playing situation, allowing for cranked tube like tones whether playing on stage or practising at home. The amps Gain and Volume controls, alongside the 3-band EQ allow for a huge range of tonal contouring, making it easy to get your desired sound.

The Katana 100 GEN 3 also features a great selection of onboard effects, with 5 simultaneous effect categories. The effects sections are Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb, with 3 variations in each (giving 15 in total) and easy controls to tweak to your liking. In addition you can unlock even more with the BOSS Tone Studio (which now has an updated interface and more intuitive workflow), giving you access to over 60 different effects and editing tool, so that you can customise your sounds for even more sonic exploration.

Once you have you favourite sounds you can store them into one of the 8 Tone Setting memories, allowing you you to save your complete amp and effect setups and recall them with a simple touch. 

The Katana 100 GEN 3 also has a great range of connectivity. It features a headphone output with true stereo sound, USB C connectivity to connect to your favourite music software or mobile device, and if you have a direct to PA pedalboard setup you can use the Power Amp In jack to bypass the Katana preamp and use the reactive Class AB power section to amplify any modeller or external preamp. In addition all audio outputs feature IR-based cabinet sound for great direct tone, with three Air Feel types and two customisable settings in BOSS Tone Studio.  

If you need a bigger sound, you can take advantage of the Stereo Expand function allows you to easily link two amps with master control from the main amp and stereo effects like chorus, delay, and reverb distributed across both amps for a wide, immersive sound

The Katana 100 GEN 3 supports the BOSS GA-FC and GA-FC EX Foot Controllers, allowing for added control of things like switching Tone Settings, turn effects on/off, and more.
