BOSS Katana-Artist Gen 3 100-Watt Guitar Amplifier Head (KTN-ART3HD)

The BOSS Katana-Artist Gen 3 is a flagship 100-watt guitar amplifier head designed for professional performance, recording, and practice. It features evolved Tube Logic technology and a Class AB power section for powerful, dynamic, and responsive tone. Six amp characters with selectable variations provide 12 distinct amp tones, including the new Pushed character for expressive edge-of-breakup sounds.

The Katana-Artist Gen 3 also features the unique Bloom circuit, which changes the amplifier’s feel and response for a sharper attack and dynamic low-end character. Five independent effects sections, a Solo boost, advanced EQ controls, and eight Tone Setting memories provide extensive sound-shaping options. BOSS Tone Studio allows deeper editing and access to more than 60 BOSS effects.
