For the discerning guitarist seeking the pinnacle of tonal excellence and versatility, the Katana-Artist MkII 100W Guitar Amplifier Head stands as a testament to Boss's commitment to quality and innovation. This flagship amplifier head is engineered to deliver a powerful, high-quality sound with an array of exclusive onboard tone-shaping tools, making it a reliable choice for professional musicians.
The Katana-Artist MkII Head encapsulates the premium features of its combo counterpart into a robust and durable 100-watt head, offering unparalleled flexibility. With five distinct amp characters and five variations, you have access to a spectrum of sounds that can adapt to any genre. The onboard BOSS effects extend your creative palette with a variety of tones, from subtle nuances to bold, expressive soundscapes.
Exclusive to the Katana-Artist MkII models, the front panel boasts a three-way Contour switch and three Global EQ settings, allowing you to sculpt your sound with precision. The adjustable Solo boost, complete with dedicated delay and EQ, can be tailored for standout performances, ensuring your solos cut through the mix with clarity and power.
For those who crave a commanding stage presence, the Katana Cabinet 212 Waza is the ideal companion, offering a custom 2x12 speaker configuration that complements the head's capabilities. The Waza speakers, developed by BOSS, emulate the classic British stack speaker's response while accommodating the head's full 100 watts of power. The cabinet's versatile design also allows for closed-back or open-back operation, catering to your preferred tonal characteristics.
Integration is seamless with the Katana-Artist MkII Head, thanks to its Dual Amp Support feature. Utilize two heads simultaneously for complex rig setups, such as clean/dirty blends or wet/dry configurations, all controllable with a single foot controller. The Stereo Expand option further enhances your sound, distributing stereo effects across both amps for an enveloping audio experience.
BOSS's Tube Logic technology ensures that the Katana-Artist MkII Head responds dynamically to your playing, offering the rich, responsive characteristics of a tube amp without the drawbacks. The variable Power Control feature allows you to achieve the perfect balance of tone and volume, whether you're on stage or practicing at home.
Onboard Tone Setting memories provide quick access to your custom setups, with eight available slots for instant recall. For hands-free control during live performances, the head is compatible with external footswitches or the GA-FC/GA-FC EX foot controller, streamlining your onstage adjustments.
The Katana-Artist MkII Head is also ready for the studio, with Line, USB, and phones/recording outputs that feature cabinet emulation for direct recording. The Air Feel settings on the rear panel let you shape your direct sound, ensuring your recordings capture the essence of your tone.
