Depending on the series of Katana you are using, you’ll have access to five to 12 unique amp models inspired by the world’s most popular amps. From Katana MkII onwards, each amp type has a variation mode that offers an alternative version for each amp model.
Flip the 50 MkII between 50-watts, 25-watts, and 0.5-watts, and take the 100 MkII from 100-watts to 50-watts or 0.5-watts. Meanwhile, located on the same dial, Standby mode disables the Katana’s onboard custom 12-inch speaker. This means that during set breaks you won’t have to turn down the volume.

Using dual-concentric knobs, similar to those featured on many of their stompboxes, Boss have drastically expanded the Katana’s effects capabilities. Rather than having 3 effects types at your disposal, you’ve now got 5. This means you can use 5 effects at once, right out the box. Each of the effects controls features 3 presets that can be easily s...
While the Katana has a great set of built-in effects, it’ll sound great with your pedals too. The combination of Boss’ Tube Logic design and an FX loop means you’ll still get an optimum response – whatever your chain preferences. Stick a drive in front, and it’ll growl in response. Put a reverb or modulation pedal into the loop, and it’ll shimmer w...
Menu diving isn’t for everyone. Then again, some prefer to have absolute control over the different elements of their sound. Luckily, the Katana MkII caters to everyone’s needs. The control panel itself is super-easy to navigate. 12 knobs, 12 buttons, all clearly labelled and sorted into sections. With this simple panel, you can jump from woolly ja...
The Katana MkII range is compatible with Boss’ GA-FC footswitch. This easy-to-use controller lets you toggle effects as well as change from channel to channel. This makes the Katana MkII a truly giggable amp in terms of control. On a sidenote, the head version of the Katana MkII also features a MIDI input. This provides easy integration with MIDI c...

It has a power amp input that allows you to connect your favourite preamp or non-powered modelling amp. Perfect for the Boss GT1000, Victory preamp pedals, Kemper profilers – you get the idea. So if ...
Yet another pro-grade feature that you seldom see on amps at this price. The stereo expand feature can be used to extend your signal to a second amp for a true stereo rig. If you’re a solo guitarist in a band, or you like to double-up your tone for extra stage presence, this feature comes included. All you need is a regular jack to jack cable. Bett...
The Katana MkII makes it easier than ever to record your amp. You’ve got line level, USB, and phones/recording outputs giving you plenty of choice. The recording output comes with mic’d cab emulation for proper amp-like resonance – mix-ready tones out the box. In addition, the USB connectivity operates with 2 channels, meaning you can record in tru...
To top it all off, the Katana MkII range comes in at a pretty reasonably price point. You get a lot of bang for your buck, put it that way; considering all the features listed above, this is a professional-grade amplifier with a beginner-friendly price tag. The attractive price was undoubtedly one of the reasons the original Katana was so popular; ...
The MKII's seemed like the answer to my woes, but for the first couple of years, it was a love/hate situation. Like many Boss products (the Metalzone certainly comes to mind), the Katana's have a very wide EQ sweep that tends to be treble-biased. It's very easy to make a Katana sound awful. The latter is particularly true with the variations.
Part of the charm of the Katana is that it is versatile enough to get a great sound across a range of styles. Whether you’re looking to create thick, tight metal sounds that chug or creamy blues licks that cut through a mix, the Katana can handle it. Differences: MkII and Gen 3 Katana Amplifiers. While the core line-up of Katana amplifiers ...

Its original Katana amps won over a lot of digi-sceptics – and the MkII range, led by this 2×12 beast, looks set to push things on again. While we weren’t wowed by absolutely every aspect of the Katana-50 MkII combo, there’s no denying it sounds a lot like a real valve amp. Or, to be precise, 10 real valve amps.
