The BOSS Katana Gen 3 100W 2x12 combo amp delivers an inspiring playing experience for serious guitarists. Powered by BOSS's advanced Tube Logic technology, this third-generation amp provides 12 amp characters with selectable variations, including the new expressive Pushed type coveted by edge-of-breakup tone chasers. The Katana-100/212 Gen 3 projects a bold, rich sound through two custom 12" speakers, filling any venue with your artistic vision. BOSS continues to lead in sound innovation with the new Katana Gen 3 amplifiers, featuring revamped I/O and six unique amp characters—expandable to 12 with the Variation button. The latest models include the PUSHED edge of breakup amp tones and the BLOOM voicing switch on the HEAD and ARTIST models, enhancing every detail of your tone with superior sound quality, a customizable UI, and optional wireless streaming via the BTS app.

Refined Tube Logic Tones

BOSS's Tube Logic perfectly recreates the coveted tone and touch-sensitive feel of classic tube amps in a modern design. This new Katana Gen 3 version refines their approach with enhancements to the iconic high-gain Brown type and the all-new Pushed character. The Pushed setting provides the harmonic touch-responsiveness of a clean combo driven into saturation, putting inspiring tone at your fingertips. With 12 amp characters to explore, you'll have the perfect foundation for any musical style.

Cranked-Amp Inspiration at Any Volume

Nothing compares to a tube amp opened up to its sweet spot. Unfortunately, that inspiring tone is often too loud for home or studio use. The Katana Gen 3's integrated Power Control gives you that cranked-amp tone and feel at any volume, avoiding the artifacts of external power attenuators. Dial in as much power as you need for practice, recording or performance—the Katana Gen 3 delivers.

Updated Effects and Connectivity

This new generation Katana amp includes five independent effects sections: Booster, Mod, FX, Delay and Reverb. Shape your tone with over 60 premium BOSS effects types in the updated Tone Studio editor app. The Power Amp input lets you plug in preamps, modelers and multi-effects, while the stereo Expand feature links two Katana amps. A send/return loop, stereo headphones out, line out and USB with IR cabinet emulation provide advanced connectivity for any application. Two footswitches, an expression pedal and BOSS's GA-FC foot controller offer extended foot control.

Tone Crafting Tools at Your Command

The Katana Gen 3 includes integrated tools for crafting your perfect tone. Three Cabinet Resonance options—Vintage, Modern, Deep—and three-way Contour control overall tone color. Eight Tone Setting memories let you save all amp and effects settings for instant recall. The Tone Studio editor app provides deep editing of amps, effects, cabinet emulation and more. Create and organize Live Sets tailored for different gigs or rehearsals. When inspiration strikes, the Katana Gen 3 puts the means of expression right at your fingertips.
