What makes the Katana 50 Gen 3 stand out
- Six amp characters with a fresh, expressive twist: choose from classic Katana voices and the newly developed Pushed type, each with a selectable variation to dial in your perfect core tone.
- Five independent effects sections: Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb let you craft everything from tight edge to spacious ambience without reaching for external pedals.

- Power Control for cranked-amp feel at low volumes: push your tone and response without waking the neighbors, whether you’re late-night practicing or recording in a shared space.
- Updated Boss Tone Studio app (Windows/macOS): edit, tweak, and save your sounds from a computer or mobile device, keeping your rig dialed in no matter where you plug in.
- BOSS Tone Exchange compatibility: download and share Katana sounds, expanding your palette by discovering community-created tones and contributing your own.
