Boss Katana Artist

Time to Get Serious: The Katana Artist is a real powerhouse!

The top-of-the-line Katana Artist Gen 3 is built to meet the sophisticated needs of advanced guitarists. Numerous performance and tone-shaping tools have direct panel controls for fast access, along with deep customization options via BOSS Tone Studio. Developed by BOSS, the custom 12-inch Waza speaker provides the true character and response of the famous '60s 25-watt British stack speaker with modern power handling capacity. The carefully tuned combo cabinet maximizes the amp's full potential, delivering smooth, punchy, and satisfying sound with a wide baffle and semi-closed design.
