100 watts modeling combo with 12" Waza Craft speakers and extensive sound options
With the Boss Katana Artist MkII, the Japanese effects giant is giving the renowned guitar amp, which is tailored for professional use, a well-earned update which includes extensive detail improvements in terms of sound variety and usability. Accordingly, each of the five amp models has a second voicing, while the effects section is equipped with double pots, making five different effects usable at the same time. As a further special feature, the Boss Katana Artist MkII offers a stereo expand function for the line out and power amp in connections which combines two Katana MkII amps into a stereo setup. The elaborate Tube-Logic circuitry with 100 watts of power amplifier output together with the 12" Boss Waza Craft speaker provides powerful sounds with the authentic character of a tube amp. Last but not least, the Boss Katana Artist MkII offers an integrated USB audio interface as well as line out and headphone connections with natural sounding speaker simulation.
