Five amp sounds with high sound flexibility

The central point in the sound generation of the Boss Katana-Head MkII is a total of five amp modes, which easily fulfil both classic and modern wishes. While the Clean mode delivers clear and transparent sounds, Crunch stands for a subtly breaking overdrive.

For pristine amplification of electro-acoustic acoustic guitars, the Acoustic mode is also available. Each amp mode of the Boss Katana Head MkII also has a second voicing, while the 3-band EQ allows you to customize the sound.

Extensive effects

The Boss Katana-Head MkII also features an extremely flexible onboard effects section, with two double-decker pots and the reverb control making up to five characterful effects usable simultaneously. In addition to the booster for increasing the signal strength, the classic modulation effects, a delay and other FX types are available. furthermore, the Boss Katana-Head MkII offers an effective path for integrating your own effect devices into the signal path. About the revised Boss Tone Studio app, the FX loop furthermore can be set to serial or parallel operation, and additional effects are available via the program.
