The BOSS Katana 100w Guitar Head is a 100w amplifier head that comes packed with an array of great features including 5 unique amp characters, a range of expandable effects and a handy switchable power control - allowing you to take it from 100w to 50 to 0.5w - making it a great amp for home, rehearsal or stage!
Guitarists will love the exceptional tone and touch response of the Katana 100w head. With its superb punch and presence you get an immersing tonal experience usually only normally found in high end amps.
Able to deliver 100 watts of stage ready power the Katana 100 can also be switched to to more manageable levels - 50 watts and 0.5 watts - with the handy power control switch, great for a range of environments. Even use the built in 5 inch monitor speaker for those times when you desperately need to practise without an external cab!
As for tonal versatility, five unique amp character feature; Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brown (derived from the Waza amp), and Acoustic (for acoustic-electric guitars). Clean brings natural and transparent tones, Crunch gives added grit, Lead will take you from blues solos to searing rock leads, Brown is derived from the Waza amp, great for high-gain tone and finally Acoustic is optimised for electro acoustic guitars.
For lovers of effects, there is plenty on hand to play with. Connecting the Katana 100 head to the BOSS Tone Studio (via USB), and you access to 55 customisable effects (58 when running the version 2 software update), with everything from drives, delays, reverbs to more outlandish tone-shapers like ring mods, slicers and pitch shifting. Up to 15 different effects can be configured in the amp at one time, enabling you to bring fully prepared tones to the stage in one amp.
As much as there is great depth to this amp, the simple control set will allow you to set some great tones. Dedicated knobs for amp type, gain and volume alongside the three-band EQ and effects section allow you to quickly dial in your tone. Memories can also be stored with a brief button hold.
With its proprietary circuit designs, breakthough functions, tonal and power versatility...and all important affordability, the BOSS Katana 100 is a superb amplifer head for any guitarist!
The already impressive capabilities of the Katana just got even better too thanks to the latest version 2 firmware update from BOSS. This update takes the Katana to the next level with more effects types, doubled onboard effects capacity, twice the number of Tone Setting memories, enhanced direct output options, and more. Players will even benefit from 'Cabinet Resonance' and 'Air Feel' functions derived from the flagship Waza amps.
