Boss Katana-Head MkII

The Boss Katana-Head MkII represents the evolution of a modern classic, turbocharging the acclaimed guitar amp platform with more sounds, more effects, and more features. This compact yet powerful 100-watt amplifier head delivers professional tones for every playing style, from organic vintage sounds to modern high-gain textures. With its integrated five-inch monitor speaker, the Boss Katana-Head MkII allows for convenient practice and tone crafting without needing to connect an external cabinet. The sleek, authoritative design reflects the premium craftsmanship and innovative technology that define the Katana series.

Key Features:

• Expanded Amp Characters: Five primary amp characters—Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brown, and Acoustic—now feature newly voiced variations for a total of 10 distinct tonal options.
• Five Simultaneous Effects: Five independent effects sections (Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb) can be used at once, providing the tone-shaping power of a massive pedalboard inside the amp.
• Integrated Monitor Speaker: Includes an internal five-inch speaker for high-quality monitoring and practice without an external cabinet.
• Power Control: Variable Power Control allows you to achieve cranked-amp tone and response at low volume levels.
• Updated Boss Tone Studio: Dedicated software for customizing over 60 different Boss effects, saving channel setups, and adjusting internal routings.
• Stereo Expand: Simplifies linking two Katana MkII units to create wide, immersive stereo fields for effects and atmosphere.
• Power Amp In: A dedicated rear-panel input that bypasses the preamp, allowing you to use the Boss Katana-Head MkII as a clean power station for external modelers and preamps.
• Tone Setting Memories: Eight onboard slots for storing and instantly recalling your favorite amp and effect configurations.
• Mic'd Cabinet Emulation: USB and phones/recording outputs feature cabinet emulation with three selectable Air Feel settings for pro-level direct tones.
• Connectivity: Features a MIDI input for advanced integration with external controllers and a dedicated effects loop for your favorite outboard gear.

The Boss Katana-Head MkII stands as the definitive choice for guitarists who demand versatility and professional performance in a portable format. By evolving the core features that made the original series a global sensation, Boss has created a command center for tone that bridges the gap between home practice, studio recording, and high-volume stage performance. It remains a testament to the brand's commitment to providing players with premium sound and intuitive control, ensuring your personal voice always cuts through the mix.
