Boss Katana Head Gen 3, modelling head for electric guitar

Since their debut in 2016, Katana amps have become some of the most successful guitar amplifiers on the market. With a smart range of power options, compact dimensions, and a generous collection of built-in sounds and effects, they strike a perfect balance for today's players, offering professional sound in a portable format. After all, nobody wants to lug around more gear than necessary. Add to that their wallet-friendly price point, and it's easy to see why the Katana series continues to be such a hit. Now, Boss has introduced the Katana Head Gen 3, a new and improved version of their phenomenally flexible modelling head, complete with enhanced features and – just as importantly – still for an extremely attractive price.

An infinitely flexible Katana

Boss has refined its Tube Logic engine to deliver even more authentic amp tones. One standout addition is the new "Pushed" amp type, designed to emulate the raw, dynamic edge of a valve amp being driven hard. Like the other amp models, it's available in two voicings. The effects section remains split into five blocks, offering the usual high-quality selection. Delay times and modulation effects can be tapped in by hand or controlled via an external footswitch or pedalboard. Around the back, alongside the main speaker out, users can find inputs for expression pedals, AUX in, headphones, FX loop, MIDI in, and USB for direct recording. New to Gen 3 is a slot for an optional Bluetooth adapter, which is ideal for wireless audio streaming or remote control via the Tone Studio app.

A head full of dreams

The Katana series continues to grow in both sonic range and versatility. The third generation of the Katana Head offers a broad spectrum of amp and effect combinations, ranging from acoustic presets and sparkling cleans to rich crunch and soaring modern leads. The responsive three-band EQ, with dedicated contour controls, makes it easy to shape the sound to whichever guitar or speaker is currently in use; and with adjustable output power, a presence control, and switchable cab resonance, the head can reproduce almost any sound a musician can dream of. But they won't have to dream it – thanks to the integrated 5" speaker, it's possible to have plenty of fun with the Boss Katana Head Gen 3 even when there's no full-size cab to hand.

About Boss

The Boss brand has been an important part of the Japanese Roland Corporation since the mid-1970s and has caused a sensation from its inception, especially with its compact effect pedals but also multi-effect units and other helpful tools for guitarists. The company's single effect pedals in particular are legendary and can be found in almost every guitarist's home. An incredible 15 million have been sold to date. With its Katana series, the manufacturer now also offers excellent amplifiers at a very interesting price point.

A versatile third-gen powerhouse

With a wide array of amp tones and effects, a generous 100W output, and its phenomenal range of features, the Boss Katana Head Gen 3 raises the bar once again – other heads can head home. Thanks to the integrated 5" speaker, it's as comfortable in a living room session as it is in rehearsal spaces or recording studios, thanks to the USB output that allows for direct, high-quality capture with spacious tone. And when it's time to take it on stage, the third-gen Head will be ready, when paired with a suitable speaker, of course. To top it off, the Boss Tone Studio app provides deep editing tools in a clean, intuitive interface, and now, with the optional Bluetooth adaptor, users can tweak their sound wirelessly from their smartphone or tablet.
