BOSS Katana-212 Gen 3 100W 2x12 Modeling Guitar Amplifier

BOSS Katana-100/212 Gen 3 100W 2x12 Modeling Guitar Amplifier

The BOSS Katana-100/212 Gen 3 guitar amplifier combines 100 watts of reactive Class AB power with two custom 12-inch speakers and evolved Tube Logic technology. Six amp characters with selectable variations create 12 core voices, while five independent effects sections provide an integrated platform for stage performance, recording, rehearsal, and everyday practice.

Acoustic, Clean, Pushed, Crunch, Lead, and Brown amp types cover clean instrument amplification through saturated high-gain sounds. Players seeking a 100W 2x12 guitar combo for live performance also get eight Tone Setting memories, three Contour settings, Vintage, Modern, and Deep cabinet resonance options, and Power Control for achieving responsive amplified tones at reduced volume levels.

The Katana-100/212 Gen 3 integrates with professional and home setups through an effects loop, line output, stereo headphone connection, USB-C recording, Power Amp In, and Stereo Expand. GA-FC and GA-FC EX foot controllers provide expanded stage control, while the optional BT-DUAL adapter enables Bluetooth audio playback and wireless editing from compatible mobile devices.
