The Katana 50 for me is kind of your starter for 10, then you get the slightly more serious older brother in the guise of the Katana 100, and then the slightly more Pro and Articulate Artist Series - which delivers even more depth of detail. I am still adamant that Boss has the best range of solid state amps of any Amp Manufactures - and that range is even more rounded now with these 3 new additions. The ‘crunch’ channel is a little thinner sounding than the clean, and it’s the least good sounding channel in my opinion. This doesn’t mean it’s bad, but it’s not as impressive as the rest of the channels. The EQ is a little more important here, as it’s easy to get it to sound fizzy with too much of anything.The next step is Lead. Soaring melodies and scorching distorted tones for solos of any genre - and we mean any genre. For the gain-lovers; Brown. From chugging to shredding, the Brown setting is born for all things metal. And finally, an Acoustic mode for that soothing, resonant voice that'll make your electro-acoustic sparkle with character. Truthfully, there really isn't anything the MKII can't do.

Alongside the evolution of their Katana amps, Boss has also evolved its accompanying Tone Studio software.Featuring a refreshed interface,a number of parameters have been consolidated into the main screen to enhance workflow for users. Boss has also made a dedicated 'Pedal FX' category, whichmakesit easier to assign wah and pedal bend effects to a connected expression pedal. If you own a first-generation Boss Katana, it’s also possible to import your custom patches and use them all with a Katana MkII! Key Features
