Boss Katana 100/212 Gen 3 2×12 Combo Guitar Amplifier

The Boss Katana 100/212 Gen 3 2×12 Combo Guitar Amplifier is an exceptional guitar amplifier that stands out in the Boss Katana series, renowned for its powerful performance and versatility. This amplifier features a 100-watt Class AB power section and two custom 12-inch speakers, delivering a rich, full sound that fills any venue. Enhanced Tube Logic technology offers improved sound, feel, and response, alongside a newly developed Pushed amp character that perfectly captures the subtle dynamics of a tube amp at the edge of breakup.

Equipped with an array of customisation options, the Katana 100 Gen 3 supports extensive tonal shaping through five independent effects sections and a three-way Contour control. The updated BOSS Tone Studio app enhances your editing capabilities, allowing for deeper adjustment of settings and effects right from your computer or mobile device. With features like Power Control for achieving high-gain tones at manageable volumes and compatibility with previous Katana model patches, this amp is tailor-made for guitarists seeking a robust, adaptable, and high-quality amplification solution.

The Katana 100 Gen 3 2×12 Combo amplifier harnesses the latest advancements in BOSS’s Tube Logic technology, delivering a sound that’s more responsive and engaging than ever before. This technology emulates the complex interactions of tube amplifiers at a component level, offering the rich harmonics and dynamic response of classic tube designs without the maintenance or weight. The new Pushed amp character, a highlight of this generation, provides guitarists with the satisfying, responsive gain of a pushed tube amp.

This amplifier comes loaded with five independent effects sections: Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb, each featuring multiple settings to craft your sound. The BOSS Tone Studio app has been updated, providing an intuitive interface for deep control over these effects. Users can tweak parameters, change the order of effects, and save their setups in the eight available Tone Setting memories. This level of customisation transforms the Katana 100 Gen 3 into a versatile tool that adapts to any genre or style.

The Power Control feature is a standout for the Katana 100 Gen 3, allowing musicians to achieve the high-volume tube amp sound at lower, more manageable volumes. This is especially useful for those who practice in environments where loud volumes are impractical. By adjusting the output wattage from standby to 0.5, 50, or 100 watts, players can enjoy the full expression of their guitar’s tone without compromise, ensuring no loss in sound quality or dynamic range.

Connectivity is key in modern music making, and the Katana 100 Gen 3 excels in this area. It features a variety of inputs and outputs including USB-C for direct recording, a headphones jack for silent practice, and line-out for live performance scenarios. Additionally, the Power Amp In feature allows the amp to integrate seamlessly with external preamps, modelers, and multi-effects units. The Stereo Expand function enables linking with another Katana amplifier for expansive stereo setups, making it ideal for performers looking to create a bigger sound on stage.
