Description

Elevate your guitar playing experience with the Boss Katana-50 EX Gen 3, a powerhouse 50-watt combo amplifier designed to meet the demands of stage performers and studio musicians alike. The latest iteration in the acclaimed BOSS Katana series, this amplifier brings a new level of versatility and expressive power, ensuring your sound is always rich, dynamic, and inspiring.

Overview

Building on the success of its predecessors, the Katana-50 EX Gen 3 offers significant enhancements, including an upgraded speaker, expanded connectivity options, and support for GA-FC/GA-FC EX foot controllers. Whether you're practicing at home, recording in the studio, or performing live, the Katana-50 EX Gen 3 delivers unparalleled sound quality and flexibility.

Experience the Sound

The Katana-50 EX Gen 3 features BOSS's renowned Tube Logic technology, which faithfully recreates the complex interactions of tube circuitry at a component level. The result is a natural, responsive sound that feels just like playing through a high-quality tube amp. With six unique amp characters—including the newly developed Pushed type—you can easily dial in tones that range from clean and crisp to warm and overdriven.

Imagine the soulful crunch of classic rock, the searing leads of modern metal, or the smooth, articulate tones perfect for blues and jazz. This amp handles it all with ease. The Power Control feature allows you to achieve that sweet, cranked-amp tone even at low volumes, making it perfect for any playing environment.

Designed for Performance

The Katana-50 EX Gen 3 is not just about great sound; it's also about convenience and control. The updated BOSS Tone Studio app offers an intuitive interface for deep tone editing, with over 60 customizable BOSS effects at your disposal. Save and recall your favorite settings with four Tone Setting memories, ensuring you're always ready for any musical situation.

Connect to a second Katana amp using the Stereo Expand function for a wide, immersive soundstage, or integrate external preamps and modelers via the Power Amp In jack. The GA-FC and GA-FC EX foot controllers provide complete stage command, allowing you to switch between tones, control effects, and more with ease.
