Boss Katana Head 100 MK2 Modeling Guitar Amplifier

Katana MkII takes the acclaimed Katana guitar amp series to the next level, turbocharging the core platform with more sounds, more effects, and more features. Newly voiced variations are now available for all five amp characters, doubling the tonal options. And the onboard effects categories have been expanded from three to five, providing even more real-time processing to choose from. The usability has been ramped up too, with a power amp input for modelers and multi-FX, easy stereo expansion for dual amp setups, updated editor software, and many other enhancements.
 

  • Light and portable 100-watt guitar amp head with powerful, gig-ready sound
  • Integrated five-inch monitor speaker for practice without an external cab
  • Tube Logic design approach produces class-defying power, authoritative punch, and cutting presence
  • Five unique amp characters (Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brown, and Acoustic), plus newly voiced variations for each
  • Five independent effects sections (Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb), with three selectable variations in each
  • Dedicated Pedal FX for foot-controlled wah and pedal bend
  • Updated BOSS Tone Studio software for customizing your sound with over 60 different BOSS effects, channel and global EQs, adjustable routing, and much more
  • Power Amp In for preamps, modelers, and multi-effects
  • Stereo Expand out to link with a second Katana MkII (available on 100-watt models only)
  • Eight Tone Setting memories for storing and recalling all amp and effect settings
  • Power Control for achieving cranked-amp tone and response at low volumes
  • Three Cab Resonance options (Vintage, Modern, and Deep), selectable from the panel or BOSS Tone Studio
  • Mic’d cabinet emulation on the line, USB, and phones/recording outputs, with three Air Feel settings available in BOSS Tone Studio
  • Optional GA-FC foot controller provides complete amp control, including Tone Setting selection, effects on/off, expression pedal control, and more
  • Connections for up to two footswitches or an expression pedal, plus MIDI input for Tone Setting selection and effects on/off from a MIDI foot controller
  • Effect loop, with selectable series/parallel operation and adjustable level in BOSS Tone Studio
  • Pro setups available at BOSS Tone Central


  • The stage-class Katana MkII lineup picks up where the first generation left off, building on the same core tones and features that have made the series such a worldwide smash. If you loved the original Katana amps, you’ll love Katana MkII even more. And if you’re new to the party, get ready for sound, feel, and versatility that soars far beyond its price class.
     
  • Katana MkII’s five primary amp characters offer everything from organic vintage tones to modern high-gain sounds, plus a dedicated voice optimized for acoustic-electric guitar. The characters have now been extended with newly voiced variations, providing a wider palette of tone options to craft your personal sound.
     
  • Katana MkII now includes five simultaneous effects categories, putting the tone-shaping power of a massive  pedalboard right inside your amp. Independent Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb sections come loaded from the factory with three variations in each, providing 15 ready-to-play effects to choose from. Connecting to BOSS Tone Studio lets you dive much deeper if you want—customize the sections with over 60 different effect types, change the order with four different chains, and much more.
     
  • Backed by BOSS’s Tube Logic approach, Katana MkII delivers the authentic output distortion characteristics of genuine tube amplifiers, with the sound and feel becoming richer and more responsive as you turn up the volume. But unlike that classic tube amp, Katana MkII’s variable Power Control makes it easy to fly in the sweet spot without getting fired from the gig or kicked out of the house. Just throttle back the overall volume as needed to enjoy inspiring, cranked-amp sound anywhere you play, from bedroom to stage.
     
  • The versatile Katana-Head MkII can also be used as a dedicated amplifier for a favorite preamp, modeler, or multi-effects unit. Connecting to the rear-panel Power Amp In jack bypasses Katana MkII’s preamp and effects, letting you tap straight into the Tube Logic power section, complete with grab-and-go Power Control. And with BOSS Tone Studio, the input can be easily optimized for your particular gear with a high-pass filter and adjustable gain.   
     
  • One of the Katana-Head MkII’s most powerful features is the ability to store favorite amp character and effects setups in Tone Setting memories for instant recall. After you’ve dialed in a sound with the panel controls, simply save it to the desired memory with a quick button hold. Eight Tone Settings (two banks of four) are available, with fast selection right from the panel. And for hands-free operation on the gig, just connect external footswitches or the GA-FC foot controller.
     
  • The speaker out on the Katana-Head MkII supports connection to your preferred 8-ohm or 16-ohm cabinet. And with the handy built-in monitor speaker, you’re able to check tones and practice anywhere without having to hook up a cab at all. Advanced players will appreciate the MIDI input, which provides easy integration with MIDI controllers and switching devices.
     
  • One Katana MkII sounds great, but playing two at once is even better. The new Stereo Expand feature makes linking two amps simple, with just one regular cable needed. You’re able to control everything from the master Katana MkII, with stereo-compatible effects like chorus, delay, reverb, and others distributed across both amps for a wide, immersive sound field. Stereo Expand is supported on all 100-watt Katana MkII models.
     
  • The Katana-Head MkII features line, USB, and phones/recording outputs with mic’d cabinet emulation, letting you send mix-ready amp tones to a PA system, computer DAW, or headphones. The direct sound can be shaped with three different Air Feel settings, which are accessible from BOSS Tone Studio. Two-channel USB operation is supported, allowing you to track in true stereo with many of Katana’s modulation, EQ, delay, and reverb effects.
     
  • The optional GA-FC foot controller is the perfect partner for the Katana-Head MkII. It connects with a single cable, requires no external power, and features a slim, rugged profile that takes up minimal space. With six footswitches, you can directly recall Tone Settings and independently turn the five effects sections on/off. The GA-FC also supports external footswitches and expression pedals, with default assignments that include tap tempo, bank selection, foot volume, and Pedal FX. A large variety of custom assignments are available via BOSS Tone Studio, including expression pedal control of up to three parameters at once.    
     
  • BOSS Tone Studio has also evolved alongside the Katana MkII amplifiers. The interface has been updated with a refreshed look, and a number of parameters have been consolidated into the main screen for faster workflow. There’s also a dedicated Pedal FX category, making it easier to assign wah and pedal bend effects to a connected expression pedal. And if you’re a first-gen Katana owner, it’s possible to import your custom patches and use them all with Katana MkII.

Geniální zařízení, cením především univerzalitu: má integrovaný reproduktor, takže lze využít i jako kombo, zároveň však lze připojit k aparatuře, a získat tak daleko víc. Zároveň nabízí kompletní škálu BOSS efektů, není problém připojit pedály a tak dále.

An ingenious device, I especially appreciate the universality: it has an integrated speaker, so it can also be used as a combo, but at the same time it can be connected to equipment and get much more. At the same time, it offers a complete range of BOSS effects, there is no problem connecting pedals and so on.

Mam toho doma uz pomerne dost, takze mozem porovnavat. OK, na domace cvicenie, alebo skusku na pohodu - koncert by som predsa len asi stale riesil cez Marshall :-) Plusy: 1. nikde sa o tom nepise, ale tato masina dokaze cez USB nahravat sucasne efektovany a aj cisty DI signal. To vsetko do sterea, cize vstavany prevodnik je 4 kanalovy ! 2. skutocne pocit hry takmer ako cez lampu v pripade spravneho nastavenia 3. siroka skala vstavanych efektov a teda aj zvukovych moznosti (obzvlast cez Tone Studio) 4. kompaktne rozmery a neskutocne silny vykon Minusy: 1. vystup len na jednu reprobednu 2. chybajuca vstavana ladicka 3. pri prepinani presetov cez MIDI (origo prepinac som neskusal) mi niekedy "lupne" vo zvuku a nie je to zrovna 2x prijemne na posluch. Osobny postreh na zaver: bez ohladu na zvoleny profil skreslenia (crunch, lead alebo brown), sa s trochou trpezlivosti a pohranim sa s dostupnymi moznostami nastavenia vzdy da dopracovat k rovnakemu charakteru zvuku ... cize mam dojem, ze aj napriek roznym nazvom tento aparat vo vysledku obsahuje len jeden typ skreslenia :-)

I already have quite a lot at home, so I can compare. OK, for home practice or a test for fun - after all, I would probably always handle the concert through Marshall :-) Pluses: 1. it is not written anywhere, but this machine can record a current effected and also a clean DI signal via USB. All this in stereo, that is, the built-in converter is 4 channels! 2. a real feeling of playing almost like through a lamp in the case of correct settings 3. a wide range of built-in effects and therefore also sound options (especially through Tone Studio) 4. compact dimensions and incredibly powerful performance Cons: 1. output to only one speaker 2. faulty built-in tuner 3. when switching presets via MIDI (I haven't tried the original switch), the sound sometimes "pops" and it's not exactly 2x pleasant to listen to. Personal observation at the end: regardless of the selected distortion profile (crunch, lead or brown), with a little patience and playing with the available setting options, you can always work towards the same character of the sound ... otherwise, I have the impression that, despite the different names, this as a result, the device contains only one type of distortion :-)
