Meet the newest addition to the Katana family. The majestic Katana Artist Head Gen 3. Featuring 100 watts of Class AB power, an onboard 5-inch practice speaker, and a unique Bloom option, borrowed from the flagship Katana Artist Gen 3, it faithfully recreates complex tube circuitry interactions for an authentic valve feel. New Tube Logic enhancements that enrich the core platform, provide greater sound, feel, and response, including a new expressive Pushed amp character that hits the sweet spot just before full break up. With 100 watts of Class AB power and an onboard 5-inch speaker for practice, The amp offers five refined characters, including the high-gain Brown type and the new touch-responsive Pushed character, each with a variation for 12 distinctive tones. Flip the Bloom switch to get a sharper attack with a dynamic low-end response that stays true at any volume thanks to the integrated Power Control. Designed to preserve that cranked-amp tone at all levels, the Power Control acts like a power soak, so you can laugh it off when someone yells "Yo, turn it down"! The Katana Gen 3 includes five simultaneous effect categories from the historic BOSS library, each with three variations, for 15 unique effects, and the BOSS Tone Studio offers further customization with 60 effect types. The optional Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adapter allows wireless editing via smartphone. Eight Tone Setting memories and rear-panel jacks for remote control with footswitches, expression pedal, and MIDI make the Katana Head Gen 3 a powerful tool for modern performers. Optional GA-FC and GA-FC EX Foot Controllers (sold separately) enhance stage control, with the EX model providing expansion options. Connectivity includes a headphone jack for quiet practice, Line Out for PA feeds, and USB-C for recording, with all audio outputs featuring IR-based cabinet sound for great direct tone and customizable settings in BOSS Tone Studio.Boss KTN-ART3HD Features:Third-generation Katana amplifier with evolved Tube Logic sound and expressivenessFlagship 100-watt amplifier head with advanced tone tools with a custom cabinet designSix amp characters—including the newly developed Pushed type—plus a selectable variation for eachBloom switch engages a dedicated circuit that revoices the amp’s feel and responseFive independent effects sections: Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and ReverbSolo section with dedicated level boost and delay effectThree-way Contour for shaping the overall tonal colorThree selectable Global EQ optionsThree Cabinet Resonance options: Vintage, Modern, and DeepEight Tone Setting memories for storing all amp and effect settingsPower Control for achieving cranked-amp tone and response at low volumesUpdated BOSS Tone Studio app (Windows/macOS) for remote editing from a computer or mobile deviceDownload and share Katana sounds on BOSS Tone ExchangeCompatible with sounds created on previous stage-class Katana modelsPower Amp In for preamps, modelers, and multi-effectsStereo Expand function to link with a second Katana ampSend/return loop for external pedalsStereo headphones jack, 1/4-inch and XLR line outputs, and USB output with IR-based cabinet soundThree speaker jacks: one 8-ohm and two 16-ohm (8-ohm total load supported)Record and play tracks in music production software on a computer or mobile device* via a USB-C®MIDI input for advanced remote controlJacks for up to two footswitches and an expression pedalSupports the GA-FC and GA-FC EX Foot Controllers for complete stage controlBoss KTN-ART3HD Specifications:Rated Power Output: 100 WNominal Input LevelINPUT: -10 dBu (1 M ohms)AUX IN: -10 dBu (20 k ohms)RETURN IN: -10 dBu (100 k ohms)ControlsPOWER switchRESONANCE knobPRESENCE knobMASTER knobSOLO LEVEL knobSOLO DELAY knobSOLO buttonSOLO TAP buttonLINE OUT buttonLINE OUT switch(CUSTOM､REC､BLEND､LIVE)GLOBAL EQ buttonPOWER CONTROL switch (STANDBY, 0.5 W, HALF, MAX)CAB RESONANCE switch (VINTAGE, MODERN, DEEP)[AMPLIFIER]VARIATION buttonBLOOM buttonAMP TYPE knob (ACOUSTIC, CLEAN, PUSHED, CRUNCH, LEAD, BROWN)GAIN knobVOLUME knob[EQUALIZER]CONTOUR buttonBASS knobMIDDLE knobTREBLE knob[EFFECT]BOOSTER buttonMOD buttonFX buttonDELAY buttonREVERB buttonTAP buttonBOOSTER knobMOD knobFX knobDELAY knobREVERB knob[TONE SETTING]BANK buttonCH1 buttonCH2 buttonCH3 buttonCH4 buttonPANEL button[STEREO EXPAND]STEREO EXPAND switch[LINE OUT]GND LIFT switch (OFF, ON)IndicatorsVARIATIONBLOOMACOUSTICCLEANPUSHEDCRUNCHLEADBROWNCONTOURBOOSTERMODFXDELAYREVERBTAPSOLOSOLO TAPLINE OUTGLOBAL EQBANKCH1CH2CH3CH4PANELConnectorsINPUT jack: 1/4-inch phone typePOWER AMP IN jack: 1/4-inch phone typeLINE OUT jack: XLR typeLINE OUT jack: 1/4-inch phone typeSEND jack: 1/4-inch phone typeRETURN jack: 1/4-inch phone typeSTEREO PHONES jack: Stereo 1/4-inch phone typeSPEAKER OUT 16 ohms A jack: 1/4-inch phone typeSPEAKER OUT 16 ohms B jack: 1/4-inch phone typeSPEAKER OUT 8 ohms jack: 1/4-inch phone typeEXP PEDAL jack: 1/4-inch TRS phone ...
