More Sounds, Greater Versatility
The stage-class Katana MkII lineup picks up where the first generation left off, building on the same core sounds and features that have made the series a worldwide success. If you love the original Katana amps, you'll love the Katana MkII even more. And if you're new to the party, get ready for sound, feel, and versatility that elevates itself far beyond what's allowed in its price class.

Five Character Amplifiers,
Ten General Sounds
The Katana MkII's five main amp characters offer everything from organic vintage tones to modern high-gain sounds, plus a dedicated voice optimized for electro-acoustic guitar. The characters have now been expanded with new voice variations, providing a wider palette of sound options to help you create your personal sound.

Five Effects at Once
The Katana MkII now includes five simultaneous effects categories, putting the sound-shaping power of a massive pedalboard right inside your amp. The Independent Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb sections come factory-loaded with three variations each, providing 15 ready-to-play effects that you can choose from. Connecting it to BOSS Tone Studio software lets you go even deeper if you want: customize sections with over 60 different effects types, change the order with four different chains, and much more.

Sound at Full Gallop
Every Time You Plug In Your Guitar
Backed by BOSS Tube Logic technology, the Katana MkII delivers the authentic output distortion characteristics of genuine tube amps, with the sound and feel becoming more present, enveloping, and responsive as you increase the volume. Unlike a classic tube amp, the Katana MkII’s variable Power Control feature makes it easy to fly into the sweet spot without getting kicked out of the gig or kicked out of the house. Simply reduce the overall volume as needed to enjoy inspiring full-power amp sound anywhere you play, from the bedroom to the stage.
