The lead and brown modes are suitable for all fans of rock and metal, with higher gain regions being activated here. The Acoustic mode provides unadulterated amplification of electro-acoustic acoustic guitars. With the integrated 3-bandequalizer and a second voicing for each amp mode, all generated sounds can be further varied and adjusted.
The 1x12" katana Custom loudspeaker delivers a full sound image for practice purposes as well as for the rehearsal room or stage.
Numerous effects and Boss Tone app support
The extensive onboard effects section of the Boss Katana-50 Gen 3 Combo allows up to five effects to be used simultaneously thanks to two double-deck potentiometers and the reverb control. In addition to the classic modulation effects, a delay and other FX types, there is also a booster to increase the signal strength. The amp can also be expanded using the optional BT dual adapter for audio streaming and the corresponding Boss Tone Studio app.
