What is The Boss Katana?
Boss must have known that their Katana amp was going to be a hit instantly! Guitarist's were crying out for a great-sounding affordable amplifier that could be used for practice, recording and gigging, all in one product for ease.

The wonderous thing about the Katana range is that the products don't simply just fill these gap - it excels in every aspect. First off, it sounds great. Whether you’re after chimey cleans, British crunch, inspiring lead tone or a chunky high-gain "brown" sound, there really is no better option at the price-point. Rock, metal, country, folk, jazz, funk — you name it, the Katana can do it!
