BOSS Katana Gen 3 Head Key Features
- Advanced Tube Logic Technology: The Katana Head Gen 3 features BOSS's third-generation Tube Logic technology, offering richer, more dynamic sound. The new Pushed amp character and the unique Bloom switch add to the tonal palette, providing touch-responsive gain and enhanced low-end response.
- Extensive Tone Shaping: With 12 distinctive tones from six amp characters and their variations, the Katana Head Gen 3 caters to diverse musical styles. It includes five independent effects sections—Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb—along with a three-way Contour control, three Cabinet Resonance options, and eight Tone Setting memories.
- Versatile Connectivity: The amp head is equipped with an 8-ohm speaker jack, Power Amp In for preamps and modelers, a send/return loop for external pedals, and multiple outputs (stereo headphones, line out, and USB) with IR-based cabinet sound. The USB-C connection facilitates recording and playback with music production software.
- Enhanced BOSS Tone Studio: The updated BOSS Tone Studio app simplifies remote editing. Customize onboard effects with over 60 premium BOSS types, explore deep parameter controls, and organize setups. Share and download sounds via BOSS Tone Exchange, making it easy to find inspiration and share your creations.
- Built-in Practice Speaker: The built-in 5-inch speaker is perfect for practicing and checking tones without connecting an external speaker. This feature ensures you can always work on your sound, even in quiet environments.
Refined Tube Logic Tones
The advanced Tube Logic technology in Katana Head Gen 3 reproduces the complex interactions of tube circuits. The Pushed character offers the dynamic gain of a driven clean combo, while the Bloom switch adds a unique feel with a sharper attack and dynamic low-end response.
Sweet Spot Sound at Any Volume
The integrated Power Control lets you achieve cranked-amp tones at lower volumes without sacrificing sound quality. This feature ensures you can enjoy the rich, full sound of a cranked amp even during quiet practice sessions.
Famous BOSS Effects
Loaded with BOSS's renowned effects, the Katana Head Gen 3 includes 15 unique effects in five categories, with easy grab-and-go controls. The BOSS Tone Studio app unlocks further customization, allowing you to tweak over 60 different effect types.
Complete Stage Command
Eight Tone Setting memories provide instant access to your favorite sounds. Rear-panel jacks support footswitches, an expression pedal, and MIDI input for advanced remote control. The GA-FC and GA-FC EX Foot Controllers offer extensive stage control, including Tone Settings, effects, and multiple expression pedals.
Expand Your Range
Link two Katana amps using the Stereo Expand function for a wide, immersive sound. Connect to the Power Amp In jack to use the reactive Class AB power section with external preamps or modelers.
Get Connected
Practice quietly with headphones, send your sound to a PA system via the Line Out jack, or record directly to your computer or mobile device over USB-C. All outputs feature IR-based cabinet sound with customizable settings in the BOSS Tone Studio.
