Boss KTN-100-3 Katana Gen 3 100W 1x12" Combo Guitar Amplifier

Grab your favorite guitar and plugin to the latest iteration in the BOSS Katana franchise, the Katana Gen 3. This 100-watt 1x12 combo features new Tube Logic technology that delivers superior sound, feel, and response, including the expressive Pushed amp character that hits the sweet spot just before full break up. A perfect balance of punch and portability, this compact combo is equally at home on stage, in the studio, or the woodshed.

As a step up from the Katana 50, the Katana 100 Gen 3 features eight Tone Setting memory locations to store and recall complete rigs with effects. It's also got rear-panel jacks that support remote control via optional footswitches and an expression pedal (all sold separately) that offer extended stage control. You can switch tone settings, toggle effects, integrate multiple expression pedals, and more. As your musical journey expands, Katana 100 will be right there with you thanks to the Stereo Expand function, which links two amps for a wide, immersive sound and stereo effects. Plus the Power Amp In jack allows you to bypass the Katana preamp, using the reactive Class AB power section to amplify a modeler or an external preamp while it remains the beating heart of your rig.

The Gen 3 lineup extends Katana's legendary versatility with enhanced amp characters, including the new Pushed character for touch-responsive gain complete with sag and push-back. It feels real! Integrated Power Control functions like a power soak, allowing cranked-amp tones at any volume without tonal compromise. The Katana Gen 3 includes five effect categories, each with three variations, and the refreshed BOSS Tone Studio provides further customization with 60 effect types and an intuitive remote editing workflow. With the optional Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adapter, you can wirelessly edit sounds via smartphone. The Katana-100 Gen 3 also features comprehensive connectivity options, including USB-C for recording and IR-based cabinet sound for direct tone with customizable settings in the BOSS Tone Studio.
