PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Dynamic tube-inspired response with Tube Logic The Katana Artist Gen 3 head uses BOSS&rsquo
- s advanced Tube Logic approach to recreate the feel and behaviour of classic valve amplifiers. Instead of simply modelling tone the design captures the way a valve amp reacts to your playing dynamics. Dig in and you&rsquo
- ll hear natural compression and drive while lighter picking produces cleaner more articulate sounds. The Bloom switch further reshapes the response engaging a dedicated circuit that alters the amp&rsquo
- s feel and character. It&rsquo
- s a practical way to tailor the playing experience so the amplifier reacts exactly how you want when performing or practising. Wide tonal flexibility with six amp characters Six amplifier characters give you a broad tonal foundation covering everything from clear cleans to saturated lead tones. Each character also includes a selectable variation expanding the available voicings without making the control panel complicated. The newly introduced Pushed mode sits between clean and driven sounds making it particularly useful for expressive rhythm work. Three cabinet resonance options &mdash
- Vintage Modern and Deep &mdash
- further refine the low-end response to match different styles. Combined with three Contour settings and Global EQ choices you can quickly shape the overall colour of your sound. Extensive onboard effects and deep editing The Katana platform is known for its built-in effects and this generation continues that approach with five independent sections: Booster Mod FX Delay and Reverb. Each section can be adjusted directly from the front panel while the updated BOSS Tone Studio software opens up deeper editing and over 60 premium effects types. You can customise effect order fine-tune parameters and store complete setups in the eight onboard Tone Setting memories. This makes it easy to switch between sounds for different songs or playing styles without reconfiguring your entire rig. Waza 2x12 cabinet built for classic rock tones The Katana Cabinet 212 Waza is designed specifically to complement the Artist head delivering the projection and clarity needed on stage. Its two custom 12-inch Waza speakers capture the response of classic 1960s British stack speakers while handling higher power levels. The result is tight low frequencies resonant mids and smooth highs that remain controlled even at higher volumes. The cabinet also includes a detachable rear panel allowing you to choose between closed-back punch or the wider spread of an open-back design &mdash
- useful when adapting your rig to different venues or rehearsal spaces.
