Boss Katana 100/212 MkII 2 x 12" Guitar Amplifier 100W

Katana MkII takes the acclaimed Katana guitar amp series to the next level, turbocharging the core platform with more sounds, more effects, and more features. Newly voiced variations are now available for all five amp characters, doubling the tonal options. And the onboard effects categories have been expanded from three to five, providing even more real-time processing to choose from. The usability has been ramped up too, with a power amp input for modelers and multi-FX, easy stereo expansion for dual amp setups, updated editor software, and many other enhancements.Katana MkII’s five primary amp characters offer everything from organic vintage tones to modern high-gain sounds, plus a dedicated voice optimized for acoustic-electric guitar. The characters have now been extended with newly voiced variations, providing a wider palette of tone options to craft your personal sound.Katana MkII now includes five simultaneous effects categories, putting the tone-shaping power of a massive pedalboard right inside your amp. Independent Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb sections come loaded from the factory with three variations in each, providing 15 ready-to-play effects to choose from. Connecting to BOSS Tone Studio lets you dive much deeper if you want—customize the sections with over 60 different effect types, change the order with four different chains, and much more.Katana MkII’s variable Power Control makes it easy to fly in the sweet spot without getting fired from the gig or kicked out of the house. Just throttle back the overall volume as needed to enjoy inspiring, cranked-amp sound anywhere you play, from bedroom to stage.The Katana-100/212 MkII rocks as a standalone amp, but it also excels as a powered cabinet for a favourite preamp, modeller, or multi-effects unit. Connecting to the rear-panel Power Amp In jack bypasses Katana MkII’s preamp and effects, letting you tap straight into the Tube Logic power section, complete with grab-and-go Power Control. And with BOSS Tone Studio, the input can be easily optimized for your particular gear with a high-pass filter and adjustable gain.One of the Katana-100/212 MkII’s most powerful features is the ability to store favourite amp character and effects setups in Tone Setting memories for instant recall. After you’ve dialled in a sound with the panel controls, simply save it to the desired memory with a quick button hold. Eight Tone Settings (two banks of four) are available, with fast selection right from the panel. And for hands-free operation on the gig, just connect external footswitches or the GA-FC foot controller.One Katana MkII sounds great, but playing two at once is even better. The new Stereo Expand feature makes linking two amps simple, with just one regular cable needed. You’re able to control everything from the master Katana MkII, with stereo-compatible effects like chorus, delay, reverb, and others distributed across both amps for a wide, immersive sound field. Stereo Expand is supported on all 100-watt Katana MkII models.The Katana-100/212 MkII features line, USB, and phones/recording outputs with mic’d cabinet emulation, letting you send mix-ready amp tones to a PA system, computer DAW, or headphones. The direct sound can be shaped with three different Air Feel settings, which are accessible from BOSS Tone Studio. Two-channel USB operation is supported, allowing you to track in true stereo with many of Katana’s modulation, EQ, delay, and reverb effects.FeaturesStage-ready 100-watt combo amp with two custom 12-inch speakersTube Logic design approach produces class-defying power, authoritative punch, and cutting presenceFive unique amp characters, plus newly voiced variations for eachFive independent effects sections, with three selectable variations in eachDedicated Pedal FX for foot-controlled wah and pedal bendUpdated BOSS Tone Studio software for customizing your soundPower Amp In for preamps, modelers, and multi-effectsStereo Expand out to link with a second Katana MkII (100-watt models only)Eight Tone Setting memories for storing and recalling all amp and effect settingsPower Control for achieving cranked-amp tone and response at low volumesThree Cab Resonance options, selectable from the panel or BOSS Tone StudioMic’d cabinet emulation on the line, USB, and phones/recording outputsOptional GA-FC foot controller provides complete amp controlConnections for up to two footswitches or an expression pedalEffect loop, with selectable series/parallel operationPro setups available at BOSS Tone Central
