New Sounds and Features Come to the Katana

The BOSS Katana-50 MkII is the latest installation in BOSS's esteemed line of BOSS Katana amplifiers. And whether you're interested in accessing its pummeling 50-watt output section and platform-perfect 12-inch speaker to amplify your existing modelers and preamps, or in building your dream tones from the ground up to create the ultimate all-in-one gig and practice solution, take it from Sweetwater — the Katana-50 MkII is a powerful tool in the hands of any electric or acoustic player. Cab-emulated outputs and monitoring make the BOSS Katana-50 MkII a truly silent stage and studio guitar solution, while multichannel footswitch support provides hands-free remote access to every sound in your arsenal. New amp variations and access to 60 timeless BOSS effects within the BOSS Tone Studio software editor make the 50 MkII a tone tweaker's holiday.

Note: This is not compatible with the GA-FC footswitch. We recommend using the FS-6 as a footswitch.

The BOSS Katana MkII series

With five distinct amp characters to choose from, support for acoustic-electric guitars, and access to a wide range of customizable effects, the BOSS Katana MkII series represents a new generation of flexible amplifiers for practice and performance. Familiar controls allow for fast tone shaping, and you can use the BOSS Tone Studio editor software to further customize your amp settings and effects. The Katana-50 MkII is also equipped with an adjustable Power Control that allows you to achieve cranked-amp tone at lower volume levels. For a does-it-all amplifier for electric and acoustic-electric guitar, you definitely need to check out the BOSS Katana-50 MkII combo amp from Sweetwater.

What's new in the BOSS Katana-50 MkII

Here's a quick list of the hottest features in your second-gen Katana-50 combo guitar amp:

Power Amp In(put) — Got a floor unit or tube preamp you can't live without? You can access all 50 watts of the Katana's Class AB power section using the MkII's power amp input. Here you bypass everything before the power amp and speakers, so what you hear is exactly what you expect — only live and in living color.
New amp models — The classics you love are back in full effect in the Katana MkII. Only now, you can access new variations on the original five amp models to create an even more versatile gigging platform, from country cleans to metal gains to acoustic-voiced amplification.
Updated BOSS Tone Studio — Customizing your sound within the Katana MkII is easier than ever using the new and improved BOSS Tone Studio software; 60 BOSS effects, channel-by-channel EQs, adjustable routing, and much more await your every command.

Ready for any style of music, even acoustic-electric

The BOSS Katana-50 MkII packs five distinct amp voicings. Clean, Crunch, and Lead cover the range from chiming clean tones and gritty rhythm tones to solo-worthy high-gain leads. As an added bonus, the Brown setting is derived from the BOSS Waza amplifier — think iconic '80s metal. And finally, the Acoustic mode allows you to plug in your acoustic-electric guitar, too. No matter what style of music you play or even what kind of guitar you play, there's a world of tone to explore in the BOSS Katana-50 MkII combo amplifier.

Cab-emulated output for silent recording and performance

While the Katana-50 MkII offers a Power Control for getting cranked-amp tone at a low volume level, you can achieve truly silent operation onstage or in the studio. Cab emulation is available on the USB and headphone/recording output, so however you choose to monitor your 50 MkII, it'll feel like you're standing in front of an amp. Selectable cab resonance (Vintage/Modern/Deep) and Air Feel miking emulation (direct, distant, or blended) allow you to tailor emulated tones to taste.

Powered by the NEW BOSS Tone Studio

The Katana-50 MkII supports 60 timeless BOSS effects, and you can load an entire series of them for instant access. The amp's Booster/Mod, FX/Delay, and Reverb controls give you easy one-knob access to each effects type, with a color-coded button to switch between preset effects. To completely customize your effects and amp settings, connect the Katana-50 MkII to your computer via USB and load up the Tone Studio software. Create your own setup, or download setups created by pro guitarists at the BOSS Tone Studio website. Best of all, the Katana-50 MkII can store multiple custom amp and effects profiles for instant recall, making this combo a versatile multichannel amplifier.
