Boss Katana 100 MKII Combo Guitar Amplifier
Product no: 9000-0055-8875 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Boss unveils a fully redeveloped and sharpened MKII version of the 1x12 Katana 100. The beloved features of the original have been retained, but this updated version now gives you even more playing pleasure and ease. In addition to the five MKI tube-amp emulations, the MKII has been gifted with a further five, giving you even more space to discipline you sound. If you thought the MKI offered enough, this Katana brings 65 effects to colour your sonic depth and the sound quality of each has been improved even further and expanded to include octavers, pitch shifting and a variety of delays.

The Katana 100 MKII: More Agility, Control and a sharper Tone Editor

You now also have more control over this 100 Watt Boss guitar amplifier. With the dual effects pots, you can control any effect and each can be swiftly toggled via the assignable On / Off switches. A new section for setting up an optional expression pedal has been included with pedal bends, volume and wah options. For those who are on a higher mission, chasing elusive, never-heard-before-tones, the free Boss Tone Editor has been updated and fully adapted to meet the demands of the richer sound palette of the Katana MKII models. If you've honed any presets from the original series, these can be loaded up with the new line and fine tuned even further.

Improved Stereo Imaging & Alert, Inspired Sound

Use the Stereo Expand option and connect 2 Katana amps to deepen, widen and clarify your stereo imaging, surround your adversaries and take them down with sound. The first amp acts as master and the second amp serves as a slave. Both amps can be controlled at the same time with the separately available GA-FC footswitch. With the separately available GA-FC foot controller you can also keep the Katana 100 MKII disciplined during the performances and rehearsals. Jack in your pedalboard or high-quality multi-effects and use them as a preamp by connecting to the Power Amp Input instead of the return and get a direct path through the class A / B power amp and the specially developed 12-inch speaker.
