Stage-Class Sound in a Desktop Amp

Katana-Air EX has been engineered to provide an authentic stage-style playing experience in a desktop size. Two custom 5" speakers are loaded into a carefully designed wood cabinet, generating full sound with rich resonance typically only available with performance amplifiers.

Punchy, high-definition tones give you an inspiring platform for honing natural techniques that seamlessly translate to a stage-amp setup. The tuned bass-reflex port further increases this amp s versatility, ensuring a tight bottom-end response for low-tuned guitar riffs and electric bass practice.

Premium Katana Amps and Effects

Katana-Air EX comes loaded with sounds derived from the Katana stage amplifiers, dialed in for maximum expression with its desktop cabinet. Five unique amp characters provide tones from sparkling clean to BOSS s custom high-gain Brown sound, along with a dedicated character for acoustic-electric guitar and bass.

You also get access to over 60 BOSS effects, including a wide selection of overdrives, distortions, and boosters, plus mod, delay, and reverb effects optimized for the amp s stereo speaker system. And with six onboard memories, you can store your favorite amp and effects setups for instant recall.
