Newly voiced variations for all five amp characters double your tone choices, while onboard effects categories have been expanded from three to five. Exclusive front-panel controls provide even more sound-shaping options, including a three-way Contour switch, Global EQ with three customizable curves, and a Solo boost with adjustable level. And with powerful new dual amp functionality, it’s easy to link and control two Katana-Artist MkIIs for massive, ultra-wide tones. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefined Sound for Professional Performers\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eJust like its predecessor, the Katana-Artist MkII has been designed with extra detail for discerning pro players.BOSS’s custom Waza speaker puts the ultimate vintage rock sound under your fingers, while the cabinet’s wide baffle and semi-closed back provide focused, punchy tones with rich low end and big midrange fullness. In addition, every Katana-Artist MkII amp character has been specially voiced for optimum response with the speaker and cab. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWaza Speaker: Legendary Tone, Modern Power\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eA key element to the Katana-Artist MkII’s powerful sound is the 12-inch Waza speaker, developed by BOSS to deliver the wide dynamic response, smooth midrange, and rich harmonic overtones of the benchmark 25-watt British stack speaker from the 1960s. Through detailed analysis of original speakers and careful selection of the magnet, cone material, and other elements, the Waza speaker embodies the full mojo of this legendary speaker while boosting power capacity to 100 watts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpanded Amp Characters and Effects\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Katana-Artist MkII features the same core updates introduced with the Katana MkII amps. Variations are now available for the five amp characters, providing 10 different tone options to choose from. And with five simultaneous effects categories, you have the sound-shaping power of a massive pedalboard right inside your amp. Connecting to BOSS Tone Studio lets you dive much deeper if you want—customize the sections with over 60 different effect types, change the order with four different chains, and much more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeep Tone-Shaping Tools\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOn the front panel, you’ll find some exclusive features only available with the Katana-Artist MkII. A three-way Contour switch lets you shape the amp's core tone, while three selectable Global EQ settings (adjustable in BOSS Tone Studio) are great for fine-tuning the overall sound for different guitars and styles. A foot-controllable, post-amp Solo boost function is also available, with a dedicated panel knob for fast adjustment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Dual Amp Support\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePowerful expansion features make it simple to use two Katana-Artist MkIIs together. With Dual Link, you can configure each amp with independent settings and operate them from a single GA-FC foot controller, allowing you to blend clean and dirty tones, create wet\/dry setups, and more. Stereo Expand lets you use one Katana-Artist MkII as the primary amp, with onboard stereo-compatible effects like chorus, delay and reverb distributed across both amps for a wide, immersive sound field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull-Throttle Sound Every Time You Plug In\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBacked by BOSS’s Tube Logic approach, the Katana-Artist MkII delivers the authentic output distortion characteristics of genuine tube amplifiers, with the sound and feel becoming richer and more responsive as you turn up the volume. But unlike that classic tube amp, Roland's variable Power Control lets you fly in the sweet spot without getting fired from the gig or kicked out of the house. Just throttle back the overall volume as needed to enjoy inspiring, cranked-amp sound anywhere you play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne-Touch Recall of Custom Setups \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWith onboard Tone Setting memories, you can store your favorite amp character and effects setups for instant recall. After you’ve dialed in a sound with the panel controls, simply save it to the desired memory with a quick button hold. Eight Tone Settings (two banks of four) are available, with fast selection right from the panel. And for hands-free operation on the gig, just connect external footswitches or the GA-FC foot controller. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReady-to-Mix Direct Tones\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLine, USB and phones\/recording outputs feature miked cabinet emulation, letting you send mix-ready amp tones to a PA system, computer DAW or headphones. The direct sound can be shaped with three different Air Feel settings, which are accessible from BOSS Tone Studio. Two-channel USB audio is supported, allowing you to track in true stereo with many of the Katana-Artist MkII’s mod, EQ, delay and reverb effects. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Gig Commander\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe optional GA-FC foot controller is the perfect partner for the Katana-Artist MkII—it connects with a single cable, requires no external power, and has a slim, rugged profile that takes up minimal space. With six footswitches, you can recall Tone Settings and turn the five effects sections on\/off. The GA-FC also supports external footswitches and expression pedals, with default assignments that include tap tempo, bank selection, foot volume and Pedal FX. Assignments can be customized via BOSS Tone Studio, including pedal control of up to three parameters at once. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOSS Tone Studio Enhancements\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBOSS Tone Studio has also evolved alongside the Katana MkII amplifiers. The interface has been updated with a refreshed look, and many parameters have been consolidated into the main screen for faster workflow. There’s also a dedicated Pedal FX category, making it easier to assign wah and pedal bend effects to a connected expression pedal. And if you’re a first-gen Katana owner, it’s possible to import your custom patches and use them all with the Katana-Artist MkII.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4 class=\"accordion-item_content-header\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional 100-watt combo amp with enhanced tone and exclusive features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Waza 12-inch speaker realizes classic British stack speaker tone and response with increased power handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube Logic design approach produces class-defying power, authoritative punch, and cutting presence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobust analog class-AB power amp section delivers authentic tone and highly musical response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-solid cabinet construction and semi-closed back for tight, focused tone with rich low end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive amp characters with five variations, plus Booster, Mod, FX, Delay and Reverb sections with three variations in each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-way Contour for shaping the overall tonal colour and Global EQ switch with three settings (customizable in BOSS Tone Studio)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereo Expand out to link with a second Katana MkII (all models except the Katana-50 MkII)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable Solo function with level control \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated dual amp expansion functions for GA-FC control and true stereo effects \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated BOSS Tone Studio editor software for customizing sounds with over 60 BOSS effects; newly added editor features include pre and post EQs, dedicated Pedal FX and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries\/parallel effect loop, external speaker outputs, and power amp input for preamps, modelers and multi-effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight Tone Setting memories for storing and recalling all amp and effect settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Control for achieving cranked-amp tone and response at low volumes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiked cabinet emulation on the line, USB, and phones\/recording outputs, with five Air Feel settings available in BOSS Tone Studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal control support via GA-FC foot controller, footswitches, expression pedal and MIDI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp class=\"accordion-item_content-text -bold\"\u003e\nCall or click to order today!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4 class=\"accordion-item_content-header\"\u003eKatana-Artist MkII 100W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amplifier Specifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 100W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower attenuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive amp characters with switchable variants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker: 1x12\" Waza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive FX categories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries\/parallel FX loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLR line out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker-emulated headphone\/recording output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereo USB output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEditing via BOSS Tone Studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/link.livewiremusicnow.com\/warranties\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSee our Warranty Information here\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BOSS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44928099909768,"sku":"LWM-00630","price":1359.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/2009\/7160\/files\/5149312793.jpg?v=1774487254","url":"https:\/\/livewire-music-2.myshopify.com\/products\/boss-katana-artist-mkii-100w-1x12-guitar-combo-amplifier","provider":"LiveWire Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
