The Boss Katana Head MKII is a lunchbox sized amp head, which partners perfectly with the Boss KTN-CAB Katana Cab 150W 2×12 Cab. The KTN-HEADMKII features a MIDI Input, again, giving you the ability to sync to external gear, like the Boss ES Effects Switching Systems. There’s also a Line Out Air-Feel switch, which allows you to choose between a vintage, modern or deep cabinet emulation over USB. To top it off, the KTN-HEADMKII features an inbuilt 5″ speaker cone, meaning you can quietly monitor and use the amp without connecting an external cabinet – perfect for warming up pre-gig or practising at home, whilst your cabinet is in the back of the van, on route to your next show!
You can reduce the total power of the KTN-HEADMKII to either 0.5 of a watt, 50w or 100w meaning you can still experience the tone, and more importantly, the “feel” of a dimed amp at a reasonable volume. 0.5w is perfect for when you are playing at low/bedroom volume and still require the tone of a pushed guitar amp. 50w is ideal for rehearsals, jamming with other musicians and enable you to compete with a drummer, whereas 100w is perfect for use in live/recording situations where volume isn’t a concern.
The Katana HEAD MKII can store 8 of your favourite patches directly to the amp, with 15 effects per patch. There is a rear-panel connection, allowing you to control the amp channels with a footswitch or manipulate effects with an expression pedal. The Katana Head is compatible with the GA-FC (sold separately), which is a dedicated amp controller pedal, designed to control all the various aspects of the Katana. The GA-FC (sold separately) features 6 buttons and 2 expression inputs that are compatible with all Boss Expression Pedals. Each button on the GA-FC (sold separately) can be assigned via Boss Tone Studio.
The KTN-HEADMKII has an effects loop (for using pedals directly into the power amp stage – ie RC Loopers, 200 Series, 500 Series and delays/modulation effects), Record Out/Speaker output simultaneously, presence dial optimising your overall EQ in realtime to suit any musical environment and 8 patch locations.
The Katana Head MKII is not only a great guitar amp but it’s also packed full of technology. You can seamlessly integrate with your studio setup, as the built-in USB interface allows you to record the audio directly to your favourite DAW, without needing a microphone and messy cables – it’s completely hassle-free! When using the Record Out function the externally connected speaker cab will disable, enabling you to record in silence directly into your DAW or running the amp into your favourite preamp. If you wanted to still hear an externally connected cab, either in a live or studio environment, simply use the Line Out feature. Both USB and phones/recording outputs have a Mic’d cabinet emulation, with three Air Feel types, making your Katana sound like an amp in a studio.
