• The Boss Katana 100/212 MKII comes with a 3-year warranty when registered with Roland Backstage.

The Katana Range has become one of our firm favourite amps to suggest to bedroom players, gigging musicians, guitar teachers or guitarists of all levels, due to the sheer quality of its tone and versatility. It’s become one of our Best-Sellers and here’s why.

You can reduce the total power of the KTN-100212MKII 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 100/212 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 100 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 Katana 100212MKII has two custom made 12" speaker cones for guitar players that love a thicker, fuller and more punchy sound. The main benefit of opting for a combo amplifier with 2 speakers, is that it allows the guitarist to cut through the mix more when playing in a live band. For the guitarist that wants to set up a stereo rig, the KTN100212MKII comes with Stereo Expand, a connection that allows you to link two Katana MKII amplifiers together, enabling you to use certain effects in stereo. Having a stereo image provides a wider, more expansive tone both live and in the studio, allowing you to use “ping-pong” delays, ambient reverbs and spacious modulation effects.

The KTN-100212MKII 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, 8 patch locations and a two 12" speaker cones giving a thicker/fuller tone than a single speaker cone combo.

The Katana 100212 MKII is not only a great guitar amp but its 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 internal speaker 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 internal speaker, 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.
