Boss Katana-50 EX Gen 3 50-Watt 1x12-Inch Combo Amplifier

The Boss Katana-50 EX Gen 3 is a versatile 50-watt guitar combo amplifier designed for the modern guitarist. It builds upon the core Katana platform with enhancements tailored for live performance, featuring an upgraded 12-inch speaker, line output, and expanded foot controller support. This amplifier serves as both a powerful stage monitor and a flexible practice tool, offering professional-grade tones in a compact, accessible format. Key features include six distinct amp characters (Brown, Lead, Crunch, Clean, Acoustic, and the new 'Pushed' mode), each with selectable variations for tonal flexibility. The amplifier incorporates five simultaneous effect sections (Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb) loaded with premium BOSS effects. Third-generation Tube Logic technology provides enhanced responsiveness and feel, closely mimicking the dynamic response of valve amplifiers. The integrated Power Control allows players to achieve that sought-after 'cranked' tube sound at manageable volume levels, making it suitable for home practice, studio recording, and live performances. The Katana-50 EX Gen 3 is particularly well-suited for guitarists seeking a reliable, all-in-one amplification solution that doesn't compromise on tone or features. Its comprehensive connectivity options include a power amp input for external preamps and modellers, a stereo headphone jack for silent practice, and a USB-C port for direct recording. The updated BOSS Tone Studio app offers deep editing capabilities from a computer or mobile device, while the BOSS Tone Exchange platform allows users to download and share custom tones. With four onboard tone memories and support for optional footswitches and expression pedals, this amplifier provides both immediate accessibility and extensive customisation for players at all levels.
