Boss Katana Artist MKII 100W Guitar Modelling Combo Amplifier

The Katana-Artist MkII takes the flagship model in the Katana series to the next level by incorporating advanced features and enhanced versatility. The five distinct amp characters now offer newly crafted variations that effectively double your tonal options. The onboard effects categories have also been broadened from three to five, providing you with more sound options than ever before.

The front-panel controls of the Katana-Artist MkII offer an exclusive range of sound-shaping tools. The three-way Contour switch, Global EQ with three customizable curves, and Solo boost with adjustable level all provide greater flexibility in crafting your desired sound. Additionally, the powerful new dual amp functionality enables you to link and manage two Katana-Artist MkIIs seamlessly, creating massive and ultra-wide tones with ease.

Refined Sound For Professional Performers

The Katana-Artist MkII amp is designed for professional players, featuring a custom Waza speaker for vintage rock sound, a wide baffle and semi-closed back for focused, punchy tones with rich low end and big midrange fullness. Each amp character is specially voiced for optimum response with the speaker and cab.

Waza Speaker: Legendary Tone, Modern Power

The Katana-Artist MkII's powerful sound is due in part to its 12-inch Waza speaker, created by BOSS to replicate the smooth midrange, rich harmonic overtones, and wide dynamic response of the benchmark 25-watt British stack speaker from the 1960s. The Waza speaker achieves this by carefully selecting materials such as the magnet and cone, and embodies the mojo of the legendary speaker while boosting power capacity to 100 watts.

Expanded Amp Characters And Effects

The Katana-Artist MkII shares the core updates of the Katana MkII amps, including variations for the five amp characters and five simultaneous effects categories, giving you access to 10 different tone options and the sound-shaping power of a large pedalboard right in your amp. Using BOSS Tone Studio allows you to customize the sections with over 60 effect types, change the order with four different chains, and more.

Deep Tone-Shaping Tools

The Katana-Artist MkII offers exclusive features on its front panel. It has a three-way Contour switch that shapes the amp's core tone, three Global EQ settings (adjustable in BOSS Tone Studio) for fine-tuning the overall sound for different guitars and styles, and a foot-controllable, post-amp Solo boost function with a dedicated panel knob for fast adjustment.
