This versatile combo amp builds on Katana’s reputation for punchy, responsive sound, delivering a refined tube-inspired playing feel that balances power, precision and portability. With third-generation Tube Logic updates, expanded amp characters—including the all-new Pushed voice—and deep tone-shaping tools via the updated BOSS Tone Studio app, the Katana Gen 3 is built for players who demand flexibility without compromise. Whether you’re on stage, in the studio or practicing at home, this 50W Class-AB amp and custom 12" speaker deliver pro-level sound in a sleek, road-ready design.

BOSS Tube Logic Technology Delivers Authentic Tube Feel

At the heart of the Katana Gen 3 is BOSS’s evolved Tube Logic technology, which recreates the complex behavior of classic tube amps at the component level. This third-generation update provides enhanced touch sensitivity, richer harmonics and greater dynamic range. Players can explore six amp characters—Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brown, Acoustic and the new Pushed—each with a selectable variation. The Pushed voice in particular captures the edge-of-breakup tones prized by expressive players. Whether you’re after crystalline cleans, articulate crunch or saturated high gain, Tube Logic ensures your tone responds like a high-end tube amp with rock-solid reliability.

Flexible Tone Sculpting With BOSS Tone Studio

The Katana Gen 3’s versatility extends far beyond its amp characters thanks to the updated BOSS Tone Studio app. With over 60 premium BOSS effects to choose from—including delay, reverb, modulation and boosters—players can build custom rigs within the amp. The intuitive interface allows for rearranging effects order, adjusting cabinet resonance and saving Livesets for quick recall. Contour options and deep EQ controls make it easy to tailor your sound for any guitar or genre. Whether you’re preparing for a gig, tracking in the studio or just experimenting at home, Tone Studio puts endless tonal options right at your fingertips.

Power Control Maintains Tone at Any Volume

A hallmark of the Katana series is its Power Control, allowing guitarists to enjoy the feel of a wide-open amp even at bedroom-friendly levels. The Gen 3 model offers Standby, 0.5W, Half Power and Full Power settings, making this amp ready for any scenario. From late-night rehearsals to big-stage performances, the Katana Gen 3 delivers consistent tone with the same harmonic depth and dynamic feel at every volume level. The ability to scale power without sacrificing sound quality means the Katana Gen 3 is just as useful for quiet practice as it is for a live show.

Modern Connectivity for Any Rig

Designed to integrate seamlessly into modern setups, the Katana Gen 3 comes loaded with versatile connectivity options. A Power Amp In lets players use external preamps or modelers, while a USB-C port enables direct recording with IR-based cabinet emulation. A stereo headphone jack allows for silent practice, and optional Bluetooth support unlocks wireless control and audio streaming via the BOSS Tone Studio mobile app. Combined with rugged construction and a portable 25 lb. weight, this amp is equally at home in a studio rack, rehearsal room or gigging rig.
