BOSS Katana-50 Gen 3 Guitar Amplifier | Compact 50-Watt Combo Amp | Custom 12-Inch Speaker | Evolved Tube Logic Sound | 12 Amp Characters | Onboard BOSS Effects | Advanced Connectivity & More

Excellent beginner amp, especially for the price. It’s got amazing features and is more than loud enough for anyone really. It’s super functional with lots of options, but the free app you can get on your computer really takes this thing to the next level. Any tone sounds amazing on this thing from clean to crunchy distortion, this amp can do it all, and at a great price.

The BOSS Katana-50 Gen 3 Guitar Amplifier delivers an outstanding audio experience that rivals even the best tube amps. From the moment you plug in, the amp produces a rich, full-bodied sound that is nothing short of heavenly. One of the standout features is the ability to save your customized settings as presets, allowing you to switch between your favorite tones with ease. With its vast array of effect options and functionalities, it takes some time to fully explore all that this phenomenal piece of equipment has to offer. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned musician, the Katana-50 will not only meet your needs but inspire your creativity as well!

For the money, you get a lot of value. I only use this as a practice amp, however, it can get reasonably loud. The built in effects etc will save a beginner from having to resort to pedals. It can slightly model some amps. The cabinet is open back and the walls are not as thick as an expensive amp, but it is still sturdy. Nice handle, appearance and seems pretty durable if it gets banged around. Lots of options on the rear. No bluetooth, but you can add later, unlike the Positive Grid. But I like them both for different reasons. A great practice or starter amp.

This little guy has no business being so good for what it is. $300 is nothing. It's loud enough for the melee jams I do with friends. It's light enough to carry around without stressing. The amp sims are excellent. The effects are the weakest part, but if you install the app you can override the default with some things that are much better. Installing the app is a pain, though.

Awesome amp. My son loves it and it sounds super.

I've been researching amps for a couple months before buying one, and read a lot about BOSS Katana amps being a good, affordable beginner amp that is also useful as you advance. After buying the BOSS Katana 50W Gen 3, I am very happy with the amp. I just recently bought my first electric guitar and amp and this amp lived up to all my expectations. It has a huge range of tone, and I've been able to dial in the right kind of sound that I want. I only need something for playing at home, so it is plenty loud. I also opened the BOSS Tone Studio, which was very nice. It was helpful to watch a tutorial to figure out how to download it, and to intially figure out some of the dials. I was very satisfied with all the sounds that were on it already, so I didn't really change much except for adding a fuzz effect on the booster knob. Before buying this amp I had tried two other amps, one was a tube and the other was a modelling amp, both older Marshalls, and this BOSS Katana was definetly a better choice because of the range of effects and volume for a good price. Even though it's not a tube amp, I think it sounds very nice and works great. The only thing I wish had been added to the Gen 3 was bluetooth without the extra accessory. Thats a pretty standard thing now so it's a little odd for it not to be added, but otherwise I am very happy. I feel that I will be able to learn and grow on guitar with this amp for years and not want to replace it.

This is a great little amp. It’s inexpensive and light, so easy to carry around and had enough features for practicing at home. For what it costs (and weighs!), it serves its purpose just fine.

This amp with a digital head and a decent speaker packs quite a punch for its size and price. The digital head basically allows emulation of classic amp settings plus some effects and reverb. The USB port allows for easy recording directly with the amp settings from the head replicating what the amp would sound like or does sound like in the room for seamless noiseless recording. At the price point it's just about impossible to beat this one.

Excelente relación calidad precio. Es de destacar la gran ayuda que provee el control de voltaje.

Excellent e chegou antes do previsto

I was skeptical to be honest as I have always been a tube head. I love my mesa boogie that I had to left on my home country while I'm living abroad. I was looking for an affordable option to get an all-in-one amp that would do most of the job (FX) as I only brought my Gibson SG with me. I have a few BOSS analog pedals that I like, so I thought they would know better how to do it digital and not risking their brand reputation. Guess what?! It is really good! FX are good and easy to set, amp models offering a wide range of organic and warm sound. Mine is the 50W model, same as my Mesa Boogie. It doesn't sound as good and loud, but I knew that would be an unfair comparison as my Mesa costs 5x more. It does sound quite loud and you can definitely use it on stage having it either microphoned or sending out from the amp to a mixer. I haven't checked the previous Katana generations, but I bet this 3rd Gen is the best. For what's worth, I would say there's no better choice on the market to date. I can see a need for a footswitch ($$$) to go through the saved presets when playing with a band. If the footswitch was more affordable, it would be a home run. BOSS nail it!

Aunque creí que es la versión Gen 3 50, me llegó la 50EX, viene en su empaque de Roland en el envío. - En general me encanta como suena el pushed me trae recuerdos de los amplificadores de bulbos. - La variación de los efectos es suficiente para no estar comprando pedales adicionales. A no ser que requieras tocar en vivo y se sería muy útil. - No compré el adaptador Bluetooth por el momento solo conecto el auxiliar por cable y el BTS no lo he probado a fondo, pero tiene su puerto USB C. - La función que más me gusta, es el atenuador de potencia, de esa manera puedo tocar con un volumen que no moleste a mis vecinos. - Para conectar los audífonos, se usa una entrada de de 6.35mm, así que recomiendo un adaptador si es que no tienes audífonos con esta entrada. - Realmente suena muy fuerte, entonces creo que también podría usarlo en un pequeño auditorio sin ningún problema. - Con el tiempo planeo adquirir la pedalera y el adaptador Bluetooth, aunque los controles son suficientes en el panel del amplificador, creería que en una presentación no sería muy cómodo estarme acercando a configurar.

Love this thing. Im just starting out. Its got all kinds of options im not even sure about yet. Plenty loud. Sounds great. Im sure i ll be happy for years to come. Great buy!!!
