The Japanese company Boss (a division of Roland) became famous not only for its analogue pedals, but also for combo amplifiers. Named after a Japanese samurai sword, the Katana series of digital combos opened a window into the world of new possibilities for rock sound. The mid-range model of the Katana-50 MKII range is the perfect extension of the electric guitar for live performances, recording and rehearsals.
Customization and connection options
The Katana 50 is a classic open cabinet with a top control panel. Here are: a 5-position switch for unique gain modes (Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brown and Acoustic), a 3-band equalizer, gain and effect controls, BOSS Tone Studio software editor for selecting and adjusting 55 effects, and a power control knob, allowing for deep dynamics even at low volumes.
On the back panel there are AUX in, a record output and headphones, a connector for connecting a footswitch or an expression pedal, and USB B.
Possible without pedalboard
Built-in BOSS effects and downloadable presets let you get the sound you want without the need for a pedalboard. By connecting with the proprietary BOSS Tone Studio software via USB, you will have access to 55 effects that can be completely reprogrammed to suit your needs. The range of effects goes far beyond traditional distortion, delay, and reverb, with transposition, ring modulation, and more. The internal memory of the amplifier is designed for 15 effects, three of which can operate simultaneously.
Sound "excellent"
It's nice that in addition to the abundance of digital features, the sound did not let us down. The 12" speaker delivers clear, precise and loud sound that is great in the mix. In addition, the settings in Boss Tune Studio allow you to select three cabinet resonances: Vintage, Modern and Deep, bringing the sound character to the maximum naturalness. Of course, any assessment of the sound is subjective, but when compared with the Fender Mustang, it seemed to us that the Boss sounded brighter, more transparent, and somehow more confident overall.
The Katana-50 MKII is a great all-around combo with a focus on live rock performances. For $400 you get a reliable workhorse that will perform great on stage when paired with your electric guitar.
