BOSS Katana-50 Gen 3 50-Watt 1×12 Guitar Combo Amplifier

Description

The BOSS Katana-50 Gen 3 delivers powerful, stage-ready guitar tone in a compact and versatile 1×12 combo amplifier. Powered by BOSS’s advanced Tube Logic design, this third-generation Katana provides enhanced feel, response, and dynamic character that closely captures the touch sensitivity of classic tube amplifiers. From crystal-clear cleans to aggressive high-gain tones, the Katana-50 Gen 3 offers a wide tonal palette suitable for nearly any musical style.

Six versatile amp characters—each with an alternate variation—provide everything from acoustic guitar voicings to modern rock and metal sounds. The amplifier also includes a full suite of onboard BOSS effects, allowing players to shape their sound without needing external pedals. With built-in Power Control, players can achieve rich, full tone whether practicing quietly at home, recording, or playing live.

For deeper tone shaping, the Katana-50 Gen 3 connects to BOSS Tone Studio software for expanded editing and access to additional effects. Combining professional sound, intuitive controls, and rugged construction, the Katana-50 Gen 3 is an outstanding grab-and-go amplifier for practice, recording, and small gigs.
