Boss Katana 50 EX Gen 3 1x12 Combo - Secondhand

Full Description

Evolved tube logic technology

The Boss Katana 50 EX Gen 3 1x12 Combo amplifies your guitar’s voice through its evolved Tube Logic technology, designed to authentically replicate the complex interactions within traditional tube amplifiers. This third-generation update enhances the amplifier’s core sound and responsiveness, providing a richer, more detailed audio experience. The newly introduced 'Pushed' amp character is perfect for players who cherish the sonic beauty of an amp driven to its harmonic limits.

Customisable sound and effects

This model is not just about powerful output; it also offers extensive customization through the updated BOSS Tone Studio app. With the ability to modify and save settings for six amp characters and five effects sections—Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb—the Katana 50 EX Gen 3 serves as a playground for sonic exploration. Musicians can dive deep into effect parameters and switch between different setups with ease, all stored in four distinct Tone Setting memories.

Designed for live performance

The Katana 50 EX Gen 3 is rigorously engineered for live performance excellence. The amplifier features a custom 12-inch speaker that significantly enhances its projection and resonance on stage. With functional upgrades like Line Out for direct audio feeding to PA systems and Stereo Expand, which allows linkage with a second Katana amp, this model proves ideal for gigs and complex setups. Additional support for GA-FC and GA-FC EX Foot Controllers enables intricate foot-operated control, crucial for dynamic live shows.

Enhanced connectivity options

Adapting to the modern musician’s needs, the Katana 50 EX Gen 3 extends its versatility with advanced connectivity features. Aside from traditional jacks, it includes a USB-C port for direct interaction with music production software, and a headphone jack that delivers studio-quality sound for private practice sessions. The amplifier’s compatibility with BOSS Tone Exchange allows users to download and share custom Katana sounds, creating a community of users who contribute to and benefit from a growing library of tones.
