General

Naturally, the third generation of Boss’s Katana range also includes a guitar amp head. The Katana Head Gen 3 is a 100-watt amp head that offers great versatility thanks to its wide selection of high-quality tones and the practical features that come with it. As well as being able to connect it to a suitable speaker cabinet for solid guitar sounds in most playing situations, you can also use it in more intimate settings thanks to the built-in 5-inch practice speaker. The third Katana series offers an even more natural response and feel, and the guitar tones now have a much richer character. This applies to both clean guitar tones and more distorted sounds. You can choose from 6 different amp models, each with 2 variations. You can then further customise your sound using the five effects sections, where you can also choose from 15 unique effects for a wide range of usable sounds.

Katana Head Gen 3: easily recall your favourite sounds and discover even more tones

To easily recall your favourite guitar sounds, you can save them to one of the four Tone Settings and retrieve them with a simple press of a button. As well as being able to easily dial in your sounds using the knobs, you can also tweak them a little further. To do this, you can use the now even better Boss Tone Studio app and its detailed customisation tools. This also gives you access to additional equaliser settings, a choice of 3 Cabinet Resonance options and even 60 high-quality guitar effects. Need a bit less volume but want to keep your sounds full and intact? Then simply use the Power Control.

Wait… there’s more

But that’s certainly not all in terms of options. As well as extra practical features, there are other connections and possibilities to help you further. To play guitar quietly with this Boss Katana Head Gen 3 amplifier head, you can easily plug in your headphones. There’s also a Power Amp input. You can use this to combine this Katana with a preamp, effects pedal or another modeller. It’s also possible to record onto your computer or mobile device using this Boss Gen 3 via the USB connection. If you combine this guitar head with the optional Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adapter and the Tone Studio app, you can even play back and edit audio wirelessly. With the separately available GA-FC and GA-FC EX footswitches, you’ll also enjoy greater ease of switching and control over this head whilst playing.

Boss Katana Head Gen 3 100W Guitar Amplifier Head

Deze Katana vervangt mijn "oude" Fender G100 versterker, voor ik huis spelen is dit een verademing, de fender moest ik altijd op Volume 1 zetten en soms viel deze dan helemaal uit, met overdrive of met de Boss blues driver ging deze veel te hard. Nu kan ik met de 0,5 Watt stand zoveel overdrive geven als ik wil, zonder dat alles staat te trillen in huis. Ook is het geweldig dat er veel effecten op de Katana zitten die je kan bijvoegen in de loupe aan de externe pedalen. Uiteraard, als het moet kan de Boss natuurlijk ook net zo hard als de Fender. Een dingetje wat mij nog niet geluk is, is het gebruiken van de Boss tone studio, dit omdat de computers zijn overgezet op Linux, omdat ik windows veel te instabiel en veel te veel op de achtergrond allerlei zaken ging veranderen op mijn computer(s). Helaas wordt Linux (nog) niet ondersteund door Boss. Ik hoop wel dat dit nog gaat komen, anders kan ik geen updates doen en tone-studio gebruiken. (daarom geen 5/5 gegeven.

Boss Katana Head Gen 3 100W Guitar Amplifier Head

Wat een verbetering tov de eerste generatie. Met name de overdrive sounds icm de boosts zijn geweldig. Veel meer mogelijkheden en met de bloom functie komt de versterker helemaal tot leven. Het geluid wordt breed, sprankelender en dynamischer. Waarom zou je deze functie nog uitzetten? Lekker compact en lichtgewicht en alles wat je nodig hebt. Wil je het beste uit de amp halen, dan heb je echt de bluetooth adapter nodig. Maar het is het waard.

Boss GA-FC EX Foot Controller

Ik gebruik deze samen met de Boss Katana Bass 110, waar hij dan als GA-FC werkt. Zeer gebruiksvriendelijk, stevig gebouwd. Bij mijn Katana Bass 110 zat ook een sjabloon, die je dan gebruikt op de GA-FC EX en dus zo de juiste functie aantoont per switch. Daarnaast is de GA-FC EX ook nog uitbreidbaar met nog een GA-FC EX of GA-FC. Zijn vol potentieel zal ik kunnen gebruiken zodra ik de Boss Katana 100 gen 3 heb gekocht.

Boss GA-FC EX Foot Controller

Geweldig product, zeker als extra op de boss katana mkII. informatie over gebruik kan net iets duidelijker bij het product maar de footswitch zelf is geweldig. Zeker op het podium is dit absoluut noodzakelijk. goede kwaliteit, perfect formaat. Over het algemeen is dit een fantastisch product en een absolute must have, zeer tevreden!

Boss GA-FC EX Foot Controller

Ik gebruik de GA-FC EX in combinatie met een Katana 100 MKII, werkelijk "Plug and Play".
En via de Boss Tonestudio software kan je nog meer uit deze goede en stevig gebouwde foot controller halen, had niet anders verwacht van Boss. Volgende stap is om er een Expression Pedal aan te hangen (heb ondertussen en Low-Budget M-Audio pedaaltje via Bax gekocht).
Levering van Bax weer gewoon prima, alleen jammer dat DHL zich niet aan de aflevertijd heeft gehouden, maar daar kan Bax niets aan doen.

Boss GA-FC EX Foot Controller

De Boss versterker is op zich al een geweldig toestel maar met dit pedaal haal ik pas echt alles uit mijn versterker. In plaats van 1 standaard instelling, kan ik nu gebruik maken van de 8 volledig customizable presets + de standaard instelling van mijn versterker zelf. Dit zorgt ervoor dat ik live meer focus kan leggen op onze set en niet steeds sta te tapdansen met mijn pedalen.
Momenteel voldoet 1 pedaal maar het is goed om te weten dat ik deze verder kan uitbreiden met een tweede als dat ooit nodig is.
En natuurlijk: snelle, correcte service van Bax-shop!
