Variable Power Control provides inspiring tube-like overdrive at any volume, while Power Amp In lets you amplify modelers and external gear. The Katana-Head MkII also features MIDI control, an effects loop, line out, USB and more.
A Universe of Tones at Your Feet
With five distinct amp characters and three variations within each, the Katana-Head MkII delivers tones for any style or genre. Clean and Crunch offer dynamic, responsive sounds for articulate picking and strumming. Lead and Brown dish searing overdrive with singing sustain, while Acoustic Simulator optimizes the Katana's sound for acoustic-electric guitars. Tweak the voicings further using the panel controls or connect to BOSS Tone Studio for deep customization.
Shape Your Sound with Premium BOSS Effects
The Katana-Head MkII comes loaded with five full categories of pro-quality BOSS effects, each with three customizable variations. Boosters, Modulation, FX, Delay and Reverb are on hand to provide overdrive, chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, delay, reverb, and more. Chain up to five effects together in BOSS Tone Studio and save your creations to the amp's Tone Setting memories for instant recall. With over a million possible combinations, you'll never run out of ways to color your tone.
Variable Power for Maximum Tone Anywhere
Thanks to BOSS's innovative Tube Logic technology, the Katana-Head MkII delivers authentic tube amp response at any volume. Variable Power Control lets you dial in inspiring overdrive tones at reduced levels for practice and recording. For gigs, unleash the Katana's full power through the speaker out to your favorite 8-ohm or 16-ohm cab. A built-in 5" speaker also provides convenient headphone-level monitoring when a cab isn't connected.
Control and Connectivity for Pros
Professional players will appreciate the Katana-Head MkII's MIDI input for integrating external controllers, as well as an effects loop for patching in your favorite pedals. Line out, USB, and phones/recording outputs provide mix-ready tones for live sound, recording, and monitoring. Power Amp In allows you to use the Katana as a dedicated power amp for preamps, modelers, and multi-effects. The optional GA-FC foot controller gives you instant access to Tone Settings, effects, expression pedal control and more—all without needing an external power supply.
