BOSS Katana-50 Gen 3 50-Watt 1x12-inch Guitar Combo Amplifier
Striking the ultimate balance between punch and portability, the world’s favorite modern practice and gigging amplifier returns with its most sophisticated evolution yet. The BOSS Katana-50 Gen 3 (Model: KTN-50-3) updates the legendary modeling platform with sonically advanced Tube Logic enhancements. Pushing 50 watts of stage-ready Class AB power through a custom 12-inch speaker, this third-generation layout introduces sweetened highs, richer mid-range harmonics, a tighter low-end, and a brand-new edge-of-breakup voicing designed to deliver pristine tube feel right to your bedroom, studio, or local club stage.
Key Features
- Evolved Tube Logic Engine: Re-engineered internal DSP improves overall clarity and touch-responsiveness, mimicking the natural harmonic complexity and dynamic sag of a physical tube circuit.
- Six Amp Personalities (12 Total Voicings): Delivers six distinct amp styles—Acoustic, Clean, the all-new Pushed clean channel (simulating a cranked vintage combo at the verge of breakup), Crunch, Lead, and high-gain Brown—each toggleable with a specialized Variation voice alternative.
- Five Simultaneous FX Categories: Stack massive effects profiles together seamlessly with concurrent, independent front-panel control over integrated Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb engines directly from the historic BOSS effects library.
- Smart Power Control Matrix: Crank up your gain and achieve saturated, wide-open power-amp tone at a neighbor-friendly volume by stepping down your wattage outputs between Max (50W), Half (25W), 0.5W, or Standby mode.
- Integrated Hardware Storage Banks: Save and instantly recall up to four of your favorite custom channel configurations (2 channels x 2 banks), or instantly switch over to raw Panel Mode for real-time knob tweaking.
- Class-Compliant USB-C Connectivity: Seamlessly record direct-to-DAW or stream direct audio straight into a mobile device, iPhone, or iPad via a high-fidelity, driver-free USB Type-C connection featuring IR-based cabinet emulation.
- Wireless Expansion Ready: Equipped with a dedicated rear expansion slot to interface with the optional Bluetooth® Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor (BT-DUAL), unlocking wireless backing track streaming and mobile tone editing from your smartphone.
