Katana Gen 3: Inspiration Unbound

Powered by advanced Tube Logic amplifier architecture and reactive Class AB power, the BOSS Katana series has become a standard for guitarists worldwide since 2016. Katana amps offer professional, tube-inspired sound with modern advantages like onboard effects, memory recall, deep sound customization, and reduced weight. The Katana Gen 3 lineup offers even more range and versatility, delivering a unique playing experience.

Meet the Moment

Katana Artist Head Gen 3 supports up to two speaker cabs to meet all performance needs. Carefully constructed and loaded with dual Waza speakers, the robust Katana Cabinet 212 Waza is perfectly tuned to maximize the head’s full potential. These custom BOSS speakers deliver the true character and response of the famous ’60s 25-watt British stack speaker with modern power handling capacity. Cabinets can be stacked to create a 4x12 setup, and the versatile design features a removable panel for closed-back or open-back sound.

Refined Tube Logic Tones

Tube Logic replicates tube circuitry and its complex interactions at a component level, giving you the coveted tone and feel of classic tube amps. The Katana Artist Head Gen 3 features six amp characters, including the new Pushed character, each with a selectable variation for a total of 12 distinctive tones. The Bloom switch introduces a dedicated circuit that enhances the amp's feel with a sharper attack and rich, dynamic low-end response, perfect for any playing style.

“Sweet Spot” Sound at Any Volume

Achieve rich, full, and responsive sound at any volume with the integrated Power Control, ideal for both live performances and quiet practice sessions. This feature allows you to enjoy high-volume tones without the need for an external attenuator.

Famous BOSS Effects

The Katana Artist Head Gen 3 includes five simultaneous effect categories from the BOSS library: Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb. Each category offers three variations, providing access to 15 unique effects. There’s also a dedicated Solo section with a level boost and delay effect. Customize these effects using BOSS Tone Studio, which unlocks 60 different effect types and deep editing options. The optional Bluetooth® Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor enables wireless editing via the BTS app on your smartphone.

Access detailed amp and effect editing tools, adjust effect order, and shape the sound with Contour control and multiple EQs. Save custom setups for gigs and share sounds with the worldwide Katana community via BOSS Tone Exchange.

Complete Stage Command

The Katana Artist Head Gen 3 offers powerful tools for modern performers. Eight Tone Setting memories store complete amp/effect setups, accessible via rear-panel jacks for footswitches, expression pedals, and MIDI. The GA-FC and GA-FC EX Foot Controllers provide extensive stage control, allowing access to additional Tone Settings, effects, and expression pedal integration.
