BOSS KATANA AMPLIFIERS LINE UP A Defining Achievement in High-Gain Rock Tone !!!
BOSS has just introduced the Katana amp series , a new lineup of guitar amplifiers with refined rock tones and built-in BOSS effects . Born of the development process behind the acclaimed Waza amplifier , the Katana series embodies BOSS ’ s determined pursuit of the ultimate rock sound . Offering class-defying tone , touch response , and presence , Katana amps are perfect for gigging guitarists , and also excel for recording and practice at home .
Katana — the traditional sword carried by the historic samurai of Japan — is a symbol of honor , precision , and artistry in Japanese culture . Featuring proprietary circuit designs and meticulous tuning , the Katana series combines traditional craftsmanship and breakthrough functions to produce true nextgeneration rock amplifiers .
The Katana lineup consists of three combo amplifiers and an amplifier head .
The 50-watt Katana-50 and 100-watt Katana-100 are each equipped with a custom 12-inch speaker . The Katana-100 / 212 has 100 watts of power and is equipped with two custom 12-inch speakers . The 100-watt Katana-Head is designed for use with an external speaker cabinet such as the Waza Amp Cabinet 412 , but includes a convenient integrated monitor speaker for listening to your tone before the PA kicks in .

Each Katana amp features five selectable amp characters : Clean , Crunch , Lead , Brown , and Acoustic . Deriving its essence from the Waza amp , the Brown character delivers refined high-gain tone sought after by the world ’ s greatest rock players .
With the powerful Tone Settings feature in the Katana amps , players can store amp and effects settings to recall perfectly tweaked setups instantly . It ’ s also possible to connect optional footswitches and expression pedals for hands-free control . The Katana-Head supports control via MIDI as well .
While the Katana amps include many advanced features , they offer intuitive interfaces that allow players to dial in sounds quickly . An innovative Power Control function lets users achieve cranked-up tones at low volumes , a great benefit for playing on small stages and practicing at home .
