About Boss Katana-Artist MkII

Discover the power and versatility of the Katana-Artist MkII 100W 1x12" Combo Amplifier for Electric Guitars. This high-quality amplifier is designed to elevate your music experience with its next-generation features and flexibility. It offers newly voiced variations for all five amp characters, doubling your tone choices and expanding your sound-shaping options.

The Katana-Artist MkII is not just a reliable amplifier, it's a durable powerhouse designed for professional performers. It features BOSS's custom Waza speaker, known for delivering the ultimate vintage rock sound. The cabinet's wide baffle and semi-closed back provide focused, punchy tones with rich low end and big midrange fullness.

One of the key elements to the Katana-Artist MkII's powerful sound is the 12-inch Waza speaker. It's developed by BOSS to deliver a wide dynamic response, smooth midrange, and rich harmonic overtones. This speaker embodies the full mojo of the legendary 25-watt British stack speaker from the 1960s, while boosting power capacity to 100 watts.

The Katana-Artist MkII features expanded amp characters and effects. With five simultaneous effects categories, you have the sound-shaping power of a massive pedalboard right inside your amp. Connecting to BOSS Tone Studio lets you customize the sections with over 60 different effect types, change the order with four different chains, and much more.

The front panel of the Katana-Artist MkII offers exclusive features. A three-way Contour switch lets you shape the amp's core tone, while three selectable Global EQ settings are great for fine-tuning the overall sound for different guitars and styles.

The Katana-Artist MkII also supports powerful expansion features, making it simple to use two Katana-Artist MkIIs together. With Dual Link, you can configure each amp with independent settings and operate them from a single GA-FC foot controller.

Backed by BOSS's Tube Logic approach, the Katana-Artist MkII delivers the authentic output distortion characteristics of genuine tube amplifiers. The sound and feel become richer and more responsive as you turn up the volume.

With onboard Tone Setting memories, you can store your favorite amp character and effects setups for instant recall. The Katana-Artist MkII also features Line, USB, and phones/recording outputs with mic'd cabinet emulation, letting you send mix-ready amp tones to a PA system, computer DAW, or headphones.

The optional GA-FC foot controller is the perfect partner for the Katana-Artist MkII. With six footswitches, you can recall Tone Settings and turn the five effects sections on/off. The GA-FC also supports external footswitches and expression pedals.

BOSS Tone Studio has also evolved alongside the Katana MkII amplifiers. The interface has been updated with a refreshed look, and many parameters have been consolidated into the main screen for faster workflow.

Experience the power, versatility, and high-quality sound of the Katana-Artist MkII 100W 1x12" Combo Amplifier for Electric Guitars. It's the perfect choice for discerning pro players looking for a reliable and durable amplifier.
