The Katana Series of amps from Roland's Boss division embodies their pursuit of finding the ultimate rock sound, calling upon years of research and design to deliver redefined rock tones. Built using traditional craftsmanship with new and innovative designs, the Katana amps offer class-defying tones with an excellent touch response and presence. Taking inspiration from the Japanese sword of the same name, the amps provide a smooth, cutting tone perfect for gigging musicians, as well as for use in recording and practising.
The power of five. This amp offers complete dynamism with five amp characters to choose from. It's got Clean for a flowing, natural, clear sound, whilst Crunch delivers that classic rock/blues sound with vigour. Lead is where it starts to get really dirty – perfect for solos and suited to multiple different genres. Then there's Brown – for the gain lovers who want to chug and shred the night away. Finally, the Acoustic character recreates authentic acoustic tones, so you can be sure you’re your electro acoustic will also sound stellar through this amp. It truly covers all areas.
The genius doesn't stop there. There's a built-in 5" monitor speaker sitting inside the head – this separates it from all other amp heads. With this, you can check your tone and undertake some quiet practice without ever having to plug into a cab. This makes it incredibly convenient to use, and you'll be able to fire it up whenever inspiration strikes. When you do plug it into a cab, though, you'll have 100W of power to play with – enough to get the crowd of a stadium going. It's a professional amp with professional capabilities.
Who needs a pedalboard anyway? With 61 fully customisable, built-in effects, the Katana Guitar Amp Head offers you a wealth of sounds to experiment with. Whether you want to add a bit of classy chorus to your licks or some wicked delay, you can do so with ease on the interface. And you can save your favourites in the various effects sections of the amp. On top of this, the standard three band EQ section gives you complete control over your tone. Once again, you can save your favourite channel and effects setup in the Tone Setting memories for ultra-fast access whenever you want it.
There's also an effects loop and MIDI for exceptional integration with more advanced rigs. This opens up a world of opportunities, helping you get the most out of your stack. You can use the power control function to get the sound of a cranked amp at low volumes – no more sacrificing your tone. As if that weren't enough – there's also three cabinet resonance types for helping you get your sound exactly the way you want it. If you're looking for a groundbreaking, responsive head which will give you the ultimate sound, look no further than this incredible creation from Boss.
