What's new for Gen 3? The Katana Gen 3 series comes swinging right out of the gate with a newly evolved and enhanced iteration of BOSS's revered Tube Logic technology, capturing all the harmonic nuance and dynamic feel of a true tube amplifier. These improvements elevate all the Katana series' prior amplifier models to a whole new level of valve-inspired realism, but the technology is truly on full display in Gen 3's all-new amplifier typed: Pushed. Engineered to exactly replicate the ever-coveted edge-of-breakup sound, the Pushed amp character artfully embodies the touch-sensitive gain characteristics and lively dynamics of a clean tube combo cranked to its breaking point.
Furthermore, the Katana's third generation comes complete with a whole host of improvements to the BOSS Tone Studio, including UI and editing upgrades for a quicker, more straightforward workflow. 12 amp voices to explore. In addition to Generation 3's new Pushed amp, this Katana contains all five of the MkII series' time-tested amplifier voices, all optimized by BOSS's evolved Tube Logic technology. Lead, Crunch, and Pushed are all aimed to please dirt-obsessed players with a wealth of remarkably tube-like tones, and you even get a "Brown" voice that delivers screaming'80s hard-rock sounds in spades. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Katana Gen 3 series boasts a lush, full-bodied Clean voice and an Acoustic voice to accommodate your acoustic-electric arsenal. It all adds up to a grand total of six amplifiers to choose from, but that's only half the story - a Variation switch effectively doubles the amp tones at your disposal with distinct sonic spins on each amp's sound! Wireless control via BOSS's optional Bluetooth adapter. While previous Katana amplifiers required a USB connection to access the editor, each model in the third generation now comes equipped with a dedicated jack on the back to connect with the optional BOSS BT-DUAL Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adapter.This adapter allows you to make instant on-the-fly edits to your Katana's tone straight from your mobile device. Plus, you can also use it to stream songs and backing tracks to make the most of your woodshedding sessions! Got a floor unit or tube preamp you can't live without?
