About this listing
BOSS Katana-100 GEN 3 Guitar Combo Amplifier The BOSS Katana-100 GEN 3 is a 100-watt stage combo amplifier representing the third generation of BOSS's acclaimed Katana series—the modern classic that redefined what a practice and performance amp could be. With refined third-generation Tube Logic circuitry, a newly developed "Pushed" amp character, and a suite of practical stage features packed into a single-speaker 12-inch combo format, the Katana-100 GEN 3 delivers inspiring tone and versatility for rehearsals, recording sessions, and live performances of all sizes.The amplifier offers six amp characters—Acoustic, Clean, Pushed, Crunch, Lead, and Brown—each with a selectable variation for a total of 12 distinctive tone options. Five independent effect sections (Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, Reverb) provide comprehensive tone shaping, while three Cabinet Resonance options (Vintage, Modern, Deep) and a three-way Contour control allow further voicing refinement. The Power Control feature enables cranked-amp tone and feel at any volume level from stage-ready maximum down to 0.5 watts for quiet practice.Eight Tone Setting memories store complete amp-and-effect configurations for instant live recall, and the updated BOSS Tone Studio app (Windows/macOS/iOS/Android) provides deep editing and integration with the BOSS Tone Exchange sound-sharing platform. USB-C connectivity enables direct computer and mobile recording, while the Stereo Expand function supports dual-amp configurations. A headphone output, Line Out, and FX loop round out the connectivity package. The Katana-100 GEN 3 is backward compatible with sounds from previous Katana stage models. Key Features
