    Features That Define Your Sound

    Whether you’re sculpting buttery cleans or roaring high-gain riffs, the Katana Artist Gen 3 delivers nothing short of sonic perfection. Here’s what sets it apart:

    • 6 Amp Characters, 12 Voices: From sparkling cleans to face-melting distortion, the six amp types cover it all. The newly developed Pushed amp type lets you explore harmonically rich overdriven tones, while selectable variations bring even more sonic depth.

    • Integrated Power Control: Achieve fat, driven tones even at low levels, so you can dodge noise complaints while keeping all the richness intact.

    Ultimate Playability with Pro-Level Tools

    Taking your tone from the practice room to the stage has never been easier. Playability is the name of the game with the Boss Katana Artist Gen 3.

    • 5 Simultaneous Effects Sections: Need more than just distortion and reverb? This amp offers five effect categories (Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb). Customize the effects through the BOSS Tone Studio app, which unlocks over 60 premium effects to keep your setup fresh and inspiring.
    • 8 Tone Memories: Save your favorite tones and recall them with the press of a button.
    • 3 Cabinet Resonance Settings: Tweak the Vintage, Modern, and Deep cabinet resonance settings to craft your amp’s feel. Go old-school, crisp, or chest-thumpingly powerful without swapping your physical gear.
