Boss Katana KTN-50 50W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amplifier - Black
Katana—the traditional sword carried by the historic samurai of Japan—is
a symbol of honor, precision, and artistry in Japanese culture.
Adopting the majestic sword’s name with pride, the Katana series
presents guitar amplifiers with smooth, cutting tones honed by
generations of dedication and expertise. Born of the development process
behind the acclaimed Waza amplifier, these innovative amps embody
BOSS’s determined pursuit of the ultimate rock sound. Featuring
proprietary circuit designs and meticulous tuning, the Katana series
combines traditional craftsmanship and breakthrough functions to produce
true next-generation rock amplifiers.
With 50 watts of power and
a custom 12-in. speaker, the Katana KTN-50 delivers a commanding range
of gig-worthy tones that gracefully slice through any band scenario. The
amp also excels for home playing, with a uniquely efficient design and
innovative Power Control that provides inspiring sound and response at
low volumes. In addition, the Katana KTN-50 includes integrated access
to 55 BOSS effects, which are customizable using the free BOSS Tone
Studio editor software. Up to 15 different effects can be configured in
the amp at one time, enabling you to bring fully prepared tones to the
stage in one amp.
A Refined Amp with Inspiring Tone
Designed
for guitarists who are serious about their sound, the Katana KTN-50
offers exceptional tone and touch response for stage playing, recording,
and simply practicing at home. The custom 12-inch speaker is driven by a
special method developed for the flagship Waza amp that optimizes the
speaker and cabinet character. This gives you authoritative punch and
cutting presence previously attainable only with high-end amp designs.
In combination with the five selectable amp characters, the Katana
KTN-50 produces class-defying power and expressiveness to meet any
playing situation.
Five Original Amp Characters, Honed for Rock Playing
Sharpened
to perfection by the BOSS engineering team, the Katana KTN-50’s five
amp characters offer everything from organic vintage tones to modern
high-gain sounds. Clean is natural and transparent, while Crunch offers
satisfying grit and response. Lead has a wide gain range to suit many
styles, from fat, stinging blues solos to fluid legato shredding. With
DNA inherited from the Waza amp, Brown delivers refined high-gain tone
sought after by the world’s greatest rock players. The Acoustic
character further enhances the Katana’s versatility, providing optimized
tone that makes acoustic-electric guitars sound stunningly natural.
Leave Your Pedalboard at Home
With
its built-in BOSS effects and recallable Tone Settings, the Katana
KTN-50 lets you perform anywhere with just a guitar and amp. Connecting
to BOSS Tone Studio via USB provides access to 55 effects that are fully
customizable for your needs. Going beyond standard distortion, delay,
and reverb, the selection also includes powerful tone-shapers like pitch
shifting, ring mod, slicer, and more. You can load 15 different effects
in the amp at one time and use up to three simultaneously. Two tone
Settings let you store custom amp and effects setups for instant recall,
and you can always jump to the current panel settings at the touch of a
button. It’s also possible to connect optional footswitches and
expression pedals for hands-free control on the gig.
Grab-and-Go Operation
While
the Katana KTN-50 includes many advanced features, it’s amazingly
simple to operate. Dedicated knobs for multiple gain stages and
three-band EQ allow you to quickly dial in your tone by ear, just as you
would with a standard tube amp. Essential effects parameters are
adjusted with a simple knob twist, and memories can be stored with a
brief button hold. The Power Control is great for throttling back the
volume for small stages and home playing, and also includes a Standby
setting that mutes the sound for switching guitars or taking breaks. And
by flipping out the integrated tilt stand, you can easily angle the amp
back for better sound projection.
BOSS Tone Central
At
the BOSS Tone Central website, you’ll find numerous free amp and
effects setups for the Katana series. Created by pro guitarists, these
setups provide ready-to-play sounds for various music styles, and also
make great starting points for building your own sounds. They load into
the memories in a Katana amp via the BOSS Tone Studio editor software,
which is also available at the site. In addition to Katana effects
selection and customization, BOSS Tone Studio gives you a convenient way
to organize all your Katana setups for different gigs, recordings, and
practice sessions.
