Presentation
This 100 watt amp head is equipped with a Solo section which includes a level boost and a delay effect, allowing you to highlight your solos. The addition of the Bloom switch, which modifies the feel and response of the amp, allows for even more in-depth sound customization, adapted to each playing style.
One of the strengths of the Boss Katana Artist Head Gen 3 is its many tone control options. The Power Control provides a saturated amp sound even at low volumes, ideal for rehearsals and studio recordings.
The 3 cabinet resonance selections (Vintage, Modern, Deep) and three Global EQ options provide extensive customization possibilities to fine-tune your sound. In addition, the 5 independent effects sections (Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, Reverb) further enrich the creative possibilities.
The BOSS Tone Studio app, updated to be even more intuitive, allows for remote editing of sounds via a computer or mobile device.
You can also upload and share your sounds to BOSS Tone Exchange, making the Katana Artist Head Gen 3 particularly suitable for modern musicians who want both great sound quality and advanced connectivity. Compatible with sounds from previous models in the Katana series, this amp head provides a smooth transition for existing users of the brand.
Information
To go further...
This technology mimics the complex behavior of vacuum tubes, such as harmonic distortion, natural compression, and the way tube amps respond to speaker loading.
Unlike traditional tube amps, those using Tube Logic technology do not require regular maintenance (such as replacing tubes) and are generally more robust and less prone to failure.
Amplifiers equipped with Tube Logic often deliver a wide range of sounds, from clean, crystalline tones to rich, warm distortions, while retaining the response and dynamics of tube amps.
