Clear the ring for Round 3!

Since their debut in 2016, Katana amps have become some of the most successful guitar amplifiers on the market. With a smart range of power options, compact dimensions, and a generous collection of built-in sounds and effects, they strike a perfect balance for today's players, offering professional sound in a portable format. After all, nobody wants to lug around more gear than necessary. Add to that their wallet-friendly price point, and it's easy to see why the Katana series continues to be such a hit. Now, Boss has introduced the Katana 100 Gen 3, a new and improved version of one of their most popular and powerful models, complete with enhanced features and – just as importantly – still for an extremely attractive price.

This Katana's ready for battle

Boss has refined its Tube Logic engine to deliver even more authentic amp tones. One standout addition is the new "Pushed" amp type, designed to emulate the raw, dynamic edge of a valve amp being driven hard. Like the other amp models, it's available in two voicings. The effects section remains split into five blocks, offering the usual high-quality selection. Delay times and modulation effects can be tapped in by hand or controlled via an external footswitch or pedalboard. Around the back, users can find inputs for expression pedals, AUX in, headphones, FX loop, Power Amp in, and USB for direct recording. New to Gen 3 is a slot for an optional Bluetooth adapter, which is ideal for wireless audio streaming or remote control via the Tone Studio app.

A universal warrior

The Katana series continues to grow in both sonic range and versatility. The Gen 3 model of the Katana 100 offers a broad spectrum of amp and effect combinations, ranging from presets for acoustic guitars and sparkling cleans to rich crunch and soaring modern leads. The responsive three-band EQ makes tone shaping intuitive, and with switchable output power and cab resonance, the amp mimics the feel and response of a cranked valve combo at lower volumes. The Boss Katana 100 Gen 3 has a universal package of features that makes it a great way for ambitious beginners to get fully kitted out for years to come. And while its design makes it accessible and user-friendly, its performance levels are likely to impress even experienced or semi-pro players.

About Boss

The Boss brand has been an important part of the Japanese Roland Corporation since the mid-1970s and has caused a sensation from its inception, especially with its compact effect pedals but also multi-effect units and other helpful tools for guitarists. The company's single effect pedals in particular are legendary and can be found in almost every guitarist's home. An incredible 15 million have been sold to date. With its Katana series, the manufacturer now also offers excellent amplifiers at a very interesting price point.

A versatile third-gen powerhouse

With a wide array of amp tones and effects, an immensely powerful 100W output, and a 12" speaker in a compact combo format, the Boss Katana 100 Gen 3 has once again raised the bar – other affordable guitar amps will be blown out of the ring. Still, it's as comfortable in a living room session as it is in rehearsal spaces or recording studios, thanks to the USB output that allows for direct, high-quality capture with spacious tone. And when it's time to take it on stage, the third-generation Katana 100 will be ready, especially when it's paired with one of the many suitable footswitches available. To top it off, the Boss Tone Studio app gives musicians a deep suite of editing tools in a clean, intuitive interface, and now, with the optional Bluetooth adaptor, users can tweak their sound wirelessly from their smartphone or tablet.
