Overview

Iconic tube-inspired tones, exclusive Guitar Center styling.

The BOSS Katana Gen 3 100W 1x12 guitar combo amplifier pushes the iconic Katana platform even further, giving players more control, more tonal options and more stage-ready power. With its evolved Tube Logic technology, this amp delivers greater dynamic depth and responsiveness, along with a new Pushed character that nails the touch-sensitive, edge-of-breakup tones players crave. Delivering 100 watts through a custom 12" speaker, it provides the punch and clarity needed for larger stages, yet remains practical for rehearsals and home sessions thanks to its built-in Power Control. Updated BOSS Tone Studio software enhances editing and effects management, while versatile connectivity makes it equally at home in the studio or on stage. Finished in a limited-edition blue—available only at Guitar Center—the Katana Gen 3 100W is a commanding, flexible amp built for serious guitarists.

Tube Logic Refinements Deliver More Expressive Tone

The Katana Gen 3 builds on BOSS’s acclaimed Tube Logic architecture, which recreates tube circuitry at the component level for an authentic playing feel. This generation refines every amp character—Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brown and Acoustic—while adding the new Pushed mode, designed for rich, touch-sensitive breakup. Each amp type also includes a selectable variation, giving you 12 unique tonal foundations. Whether you need sparkling cleans, dynamic crunch or singing leads, the Katana Gen 3 responds with the harmonic complexity of a true tube amplifier and the consistency of a solid-state design.

Power Control Offers Cranked-Amp Feel at Any Volume

With 100 watts of Class-AB power, the Katana Gen 3 100W combo projects effortlessly on large stages, delivering tight low end and articulate highs. At the same time, the built-in Power Control lets you achieve cranked-amp character at lower volumes, with selectable settings for Standby, 0.5W, Half and Full power. This makes the amp just as usable for bedroom practice or small rehearsals as it is for headlining shows. No matter the setting, the Katana maintains its harmonic richness and responsive dynamics, ensuring your tone remains consistent at any level.

Expanded Effects and BOSS Tone Studio App for Endless Creativity

The Katana Gen 3 goes beyond amplification, serving as a powerful multi-effects processor in its own right. Five simultaneous effect sections—Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb—deliver 15 variations on the front panel, while the updated BOSS Tone Studio app unlocks over 60 additional effects. The refreshed interface makes it easier than ever to reorder your signal chain, tweak deep parameters, and even customize cabinet IRs for direct recording or line-out use. With the optional Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor, you can edit patches wirelessly onstage, giving you pro-level flexibility and control without carrying extra gear.

Versatile Connectivity for Any Rig

With a full suite of modern I/O, the Katana Gen 3 integrates seamlessly into any setup. Eight Tone Setting memories let you save complete rigs for instant recall, while rear-panel jacks support expression pedals and footswitches for hands-free control. Send a direct signal with IR-based cabinet simulation to a PA or recording interface, or practice silently with immersive stereo headphone output. A USB-C connection enables easy recording into music production software on computers or mobile devices, while the Stereo Expand function lets you link a second Katana for a massive stage sound. This amp is ready for any playing environment.
