Boss Katana Artist Head Gen 3 — 100-Watt Guitar Amp Head

The flagship of Boss’s acclaimed Katana line, now in its most advanced form. The Katana Artist Head Gen 3 delivers 100 watts of reactive Class AB power paired with Boss’s evolved Tube Logic technology — the culmination of years of engineering that made the Katana a standard on stages and in studios worldwide. Professional, tube-inspired tone with all the modern advantages: onboard effects, deep editing, one-touch memory recall, and serious versatility.

Six amp characters — Acoustic, Clean, Pushed, Crunch, Lead, and Brown — each with its own variation give you twelve distinct voicings, covering everything from pristine sparkle to high-gain roar. The Gen 3-exclusive Bloom switch engages a dedicated circuit that revoices the amp’s feel for sharper attack and richer, more dynamic low end. Five independent effects sections (Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, Reverb) plus a dedicated Solo boost pack a whole pedalboard’s worth of tone onboard. Dial it all in with 3-band EQ, 3-way Contour, Presence, and Cab Resonance, then shape your direct/recorded sound with IR-based cab emulation and Air Feel settings. Deep editing via the updated BOSS Tone Studio over USB-C, and built-in Power Control lets you take that 100W down to bedroom levels without losing the feel.
