Katana amplifier for bass
With the Boss Katana-210 Bass, the Japanese effects giant sends a great-sounding bass amplifier with the popular Katana technology into the race. While the bass combo with a 160 watt power amp and a speaker system consisting of two 10" woofers and a tweeter horn provides sufficient volume for rehearsal room and stage, three amplifier voicings and the 4-band tone control provide rich timbres between classic and modern. naturally Boss equips the bass amp with an extensive effects collection that helps to find the perfect sound. Last but not least, an audio interface, FX loop and balanced XLR Output complete the features of the Katana-210 Bass combo from Boss.
Flexible sound shaping
Three basic amp voicings and the Shape feature create the basis for the flexible and characterful sound of the Katana-210 Bass. While the "Vintage" setting stands for traditional timbres with plenty of warmth and rich low-end thrust, "Modern" delivers transparent yet powerful hi-fi sounds. In the "Flat"Preset, on the other hand, the Katana Bass Combo delivers a neutral sound character. To be able to adjust the Bass sound particularly precisely, a 4-band tone control is also available, whose center controls each have three selectable center frequencies.
The clearly arranged top panel allows quick and intuitive adjustment of the Boss Katana-210 Bass.
Versatile onboard effects
In addition to the compressor and overdrive effects that are available directly behind the input, the Katana-210 Bass combo has an extensive collection of top-class effects from the Boss line-up at the ready, which can be used to take the sound in the desired direction. Not only classic bass effects such as chorus, octaver and auto-wah are available, but also bass synthesizer, delay and reverb. To adjust the time-based effects, Boss also equips the combo with a handy tap-tempo button.
Powerful sound
For the Katana-210 Bass power amp, Boss relies on a classic Class A/B circuit with up to 160 watts of power, which promises sufficient volume reserves for band rehearsals and gigs. The speaker system, specially tuned to the combo amp with two 10" custom-designed woofers and a switchable tweeter horn, also delivers an extremely powerful sound image. In addition, the power of the Katana Bass can be reduced to 1 watt, so that the amp can also be used for practicing at home without any problems.

Extensive connections
Last but not least, Boss completes the Katana-210 Bass combo with extensive connections for stage and studio. In addition to the serial effects path, a balanced XLR output with selectable tap point is available to route the bass signal to mixers or recording equipment. The USB port also allows recording with the bass amp's built-in audio interface or connecting to the Boss Tone Studio software to conveniently adjust the amp's settings on-screen. In addition, the amp provides connections for optionally available footswitches and expression pedals, and the amp can be operated in live situations unerringly.
