Description
the acclaimed BOSS stage amplifier series evolves to take your guitar ambitions
to the next level. New Tube Logic enhancements enrich the core platform with
even greater sound, feel, and response, including an expressive Pushed amp character
that edge-of-breakup fans will love. The BOSS Tone Studio app has also been
updated, making your remote amp and effects editing workflow more intuitive
than ever. Loaded with inspiring tone tools and diverse connectivity options,
Katana Gen 3 is your indispensable centerpiece for studio recording, live
performance, and daily practice. The Katana-50 EX Gen 3 model extends the core
features of the Katana-50 Gen 3 with enhancements for live performers.
Additions include an upgraded speaker, Line Out and Stereo Expand functions,
and GA-FC/GA-FC EX Foot Controller support.
Tube Logic recreates
tube circuitry and all its complex interactions at a component level. Our
approach continues to evolve with refinements to the five amp characters
available in previous Katana models, including the iconic high-gain Brown type.
The new Pushed character spotlights internal dynamic enhancements with the
pleasing touch-responsive gain of a clean combo driven into harmonic
saturation. All six amp characters also include a selectable variation for 12
distinctive tones. In comparison with the standard 50-watt model, Katana-50 EX
Gen 3 features an upgraded speaker for increased projection and resonance on
stage.As every tube amp lover knows, the sound becomes richer, fuller, and more
responsive as you turn up the volume. Unfortunately, it also gets way too loud
for many playing situations. An external power attenuator is a common solution,
but it can introduce artifacts that color the amp’s tone and feel. The
integrated Power Control in Katana Gen 3 delivers the best of all worlds,
letting you dial in cranked-amp inspiration with no adverse effect on the
sound. Just turn the panel knob to transparently harness the level for
everything from live stage playing to daily bedroom jams.
Katana Gen 3 features
five simultaneous effect categories loaded with essential selections from the
historic BOSS library. Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb sections offer
enhanced sound quality, grab-and-go parameter controls, and three variations
each for access to 15 unique effects. BOSS Tone Studio unlocks additional
possibilities, allowing you to customize the onboard effects from 60 different
types and tweak deep options not available from the amp’s panel. And when the
optional Bluetooth® Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor is installed, you can wirelessly
edit sounds on the gig using the BTS editor app on your smartphone.
