BOSS Katana-100 MkII 100W 1x12 Combo Amplifier for Electric Guitar

The Katana-100 MkII Combo Amplifier from BOSS is designed to provide you with gig-ready rock tones while minimizing your reliance on a pedalboard and packing more features, tones, and effects in than its predecessor. The amp offers 100W into a 1x12" speaker cabinet, making it suitable for use in small venues and practicing at home.

As with the first version of this amp, five different voices are available. However, a Variation switch has been added, giving you one tonal variation on each voicing. This means you now have ten distinct tones, where before you had five. Also, you can now select among five different onboard effects, with three variations each. Modulation, Booster, FX, Delay, and Reverb knobs help you make your pedalboard a thing of the past.

Turn your attention to the rear of the amplifier and you ll notice quite a few connective possibilities, such as a headphones/recording output that provides the ability to direct your sound to headphones and recording devices with a minimal amount of maneuvering. Additionally, a line-out jack allows you to route line-level signal to mixers and PAs. This output can be turned into a stereo output, so you can link two 100W Katana amplifiers together for full stereo operation, with stereo effects.

An effects loop affords you the opportunity to use outboard gear and an auxiliary input jack lets you play audio from compatible players through the amplifier. If you happen to love your particular stompbox amp modeler, you can use this combo amp for its cabinet, plugging your rig into the new Power Cabinet input. This connection point lets you employ the cabinet as a delivery system for your multi-effects rig and amp-modeler stompbox.

For external control, there are two different footswitch inputs, one for channel selection/expression pedals, and one specifically tailored to the all-encompassing GA-FC foot controller.

New to the MkII

• A Variation button gives you a tonal variation for each amp voicing, doubling your tonal palette from five distinct tones to ten
