Boss Katana Artist Head Gen 3 100-watt Guitar Amplifier Head (Katana-Head G3)

The BOSS Katana Artist Head Gen 3 leads the charge of BOSS’s revamped line of Katana amplifiers, taking the series to fresh new sonic heights complete with the company’s evolved Tube Logic technology. This 100-watt amplifier is equipped with a sweeping sonic arsenal of six amplifier voices (including a new Pushed voice), six voice variations, and the Gen 3 addition of a Bloom switch to sharpen up your sound. Next, five independent stompbox-inspired effects sections provide you with plenty of delay, reverb, and modulation options to sculpt your dream tone, and you even get a dedicated Solo section with its own boost and delay. Picky about your EQ? This Katana comes equipped with a powerful 3-band EQ, 3-way contour control, Resonance, and Presence controls for serious studio-grade tone-shaping potential. These features alone would make the Katana Gen 3 an amp to be reckoned with. Still, the truth is they’re not the half of it: an onboard Power Control, eight Tone Setting memories, Stereo Expand functionality, cab sim-equipped Line Out/headphone/USB outs, upgraded BOSS Tone Studio app, and scores of other features cement the BOSS Katana Artist Head Gen 3 as a masterwork of modern amplifier engineering.
