Evolved tube logic technology
The Boss Katana Head Gen 3 100w Amp Head embodies the latest advancements in BOSS's Tube Logic technology, offering enhanced sound quality and responsiveness. This evolved system faithfully mimics the complex interactions of traditional tube amplifiers, providing a richer and more dynamic tonal experience. With refinements in the core sound engine, guitarists can achieve a natural, vintage tube amp tone combined with the reliability and versatility of modern digital technology.
Integrated power control
One of the standout features of the Katana Head Gen 3 is its integrated Power Control. This function allows players to achieve the high-energy impact of cranked-up amp tones, even at lower, more manageable volumes. Perfect for those who practice in environments where loud sound is a concern, this feature ensures that none of the sonic quality is lost, regardless of the volume level, thus preserving the perfect "sweet spot" of guitar tone at any setting.
Versatile connectivity options
The Katana Head Gen 3 is equipped with a plethora of connectivity options, designed to cater to the modern musician's needs. It includes a USB-C port for direct recording, an 8-ohm speaker jack to connect additional cabinets, and Bluetooth® functionality for wireless streaming and app integration. These features make it exceptionally easy to integrate the amp into any setup for live performances, studio recording, or personal practice, enhancing its utility as a versatile centrepiece in any guitarist’s rig.
Onboard effects and customisation
Equipped with five independent effects sections and the newly updated BOSS Tone Studio app, the Katana Head Gen 3 allows for extensive sound customisation. Players can delve into a wide array of onboard effects such as Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb, each with multiple variations and high-quality sound. The ability to customise and store various presets gives users the flexibility to tailor their sound to the specific requirements of different musical genres and styles, ensuring that their personal expression is always at the forefront.
