Refined Tube Logic Technology

The core of the Katana Gen3 is BOSS's advanced Tube Logic technology, which meticulously recreates the sound and feel of classic tube circuits at a component level. This third-generation platform improves on previous models with even greater dynamic response and tonal depth. It features six amp characters—Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brown, Acoustic and the new Pushed, each with a selectable variation. The Pushed character captures the smooth, touch-sensitive transition between clean and overdriven tones, offering the harmonic richness of a tube amp pushed into saturation. Whether you're dialing in shimmering cleans or dynamic crunch, this tech ensures every nuance of your playing is heard. Combined with BOSS's attention to detail, the Katana Gen3 delivers an authentic tube-inspired experience with modern reliability.

Comprehensive Sound Customization With BOSS Tone Studio

The Katana Gen3's sound-shaping capabilities are enhanced by the updated BOSS Tone Studio app, providing an intuitive interface for deep tone editing. Players can access over 60 premium BOSS effects, including modulation, delay, reverb and boosters, and arrange them in any order for complete signal chain control. Advanced editing tools allow for fine-tuning of amp resonance, EQ settings and cabinet response, while three Contour options provide additional tonal shaping. With the ability to save and organize Livesets, users can create and recall custom presets for any playing application. Whether in the studio or on stage, the BOSS Tone Studio app simplifies the process of crafting and managing professional-grade tones.

Power Scaling for Cranked-Amp Tone at any Volume

The Katana Gen3 features a built-in Power Control switch, allowing you to achieve the rich, saturated tone of a cranked amp at low volumes. Choose between Standby, 0.5W, Half Power and Full Power modes to adapt the amp's output to your environment. This feature is perfect for late-night practice sessions or small rehearsal spaces, where maintaining tonal integrity at manageable volume levels is crucial. By preserving the amp's harmonic complexity and touch sensitivity, the Power Control switch ensures that your tone remains consistent, whether you're playing quietly at home or performing in a larger venue. With this feature, the Katana Gen3 delivers the full tube-like experience without compromise.

Durable Build With Modern Connectivity

Its rugged construction ensures that it can withstand the demands of regular transport and performance.
