Product description Designed for discerning guitar players, the BOSS Katana Artist is a 100W combo amp with a custom-built 12” semi-closed cabinet. It’s suitable for rock, jazz, country, and more. The amp’s onboard controls are relatively straightforward, with a three-knob tone stack and simple one-knob controls over a variety of effects. These effects can be loaded into your amplifier through a corresponding app for iOS and Android devices; this app, which gives you full control over the amplifier—as well as access to a bevy of choruses, delays, reverbs, pitch shifters, ring mods and more—can also organize your favorite amp setups and load them into the amplifier’s eight effects slots.Once you’ve set up a chain, you can experience your tone through the Katana Artist's analog class-AB power amp and premium Waza speaker. Furthermore, a Cabinet Resonance controls gives you the means to achieve a high-octane sound at lower levels.Turn your attention to the rear of the amplifier and you'll notice a bevy of connections, including a phones/recording output, a line output, an effects-loop section, and an auxiliary input. Two footswitch inputs are on hand, as are two extension speaker outputs rated at 16 Ohms. MIDI control is made available by means of a 5-pin DIN jack, and a USB facilitates the transfer of setups from a corresponding iOS/Android app straight to the amplifier. - Key Features at a Glance

The Katana-Artist also features line, USB, and phones/recording outputs with cabinet simulation, allowing you to feed PA systems, computer DAWs, or headphones with sound that mimics a miked cab. Using the panel's Air Feel knob, the spatial character of the cab simulation can be instantly adjusted to suit different songs or styles.
