BOSS KATANA-50 2EX Guitar Amplifier

More Sounds, More VersatilityThe stage-class Katana MkII lineup carries from where the first generation left off, developing on the same core tones and features that have made the series such a worldwide hit. If you loved the previous Katana amps, you'll love Katana MkII even more. And if you're new to the party, get ready for sound, feel, and versatility that exceeds far beyond its price class.

5 Amp Characters, 10 Overall TonesKatana MkII's five primary amp characters offer everything from organic vintage tones to modern high-gain sounds, plus a dedicated voice optimized for acoustic-electric guitar. The characters have now been further developed with newly voiced variations, providing a wider range of tone options to shape your personal sound.

Five Effects At OnceKatana MkII now features five simultaneous effects categories, putting the tone-shaping power of a huge pedalboard right inside your amp. Independent Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb sections come loaded from the factory with three variations in each, offering 15 ready-to-play effects to select from. Connecting to BOSS Tone Studio lets you dive much deeper if you wish—customize the sections with over 60 different effect types, change the order with four different chains, and much more.

Full-Throttle SoundSupported by BOSS's Tube Logic approach, Katana MkII provides authentic output distortion characteristics heard from real tube amplifiers, with the sound and feel becoming richer and more responsive as you turn up the volume. Different to classic tube amps, Katana MkII's variable Power Control makes it easy to fly in the sweet spot without getting fired from the gig or kicked out of the house. Just throttle back the overall volume as needed to enjoy inspiring, cranked-amp sound anywhere you play, from bedroom to stage.

Amplify Your External GearThe Katana-50 MkII works great as a standalone amp, but it also excels as a powered cabinet for a favourite preamp, modeler, or multi-effects unit. Connecting to the rear-panel Power Amp In jack bypasses Katana MkII's preamp and effects, letting you tap straight into the Tube Logic power section, complete with grab-and-go Power Control. When using BOSS Tone Studio, the input can be easily optimized for your particular gear with a high-pass filter and adjustable gain.

One-Touch RecallOne of the Katana-50 MkII's most powerful features is the ability to store favourite amp character and effects setups in Tone Setting memories for instant recall. After you've dialed in a sound with the panel controls, just save it to the desired memory with a quick button hold. Four Tone Settings (two banks of two) are available, with fast selection right from the panel. You can also connect external footswitches for hands-free control on the gig.
