The Boss Katana Artist MKII 100W Amp Head is designed for professional tone crafters. It offers a wide range of customizable effects and comes with a companion app that allows you to create any sound you can imagine. With 100 Watts of power and power attenuation, you can drive anything from a full live stack to smaller speakers for more intimate shows. The Artist also features a solo boost feature with onboard level control, allowing you to stand out during your performance.
But the tone shaping options don’t stop there. The Artist is equipped with several exclusive panel dials that make gigging life easier. It has a three-way contour switch that pairs with global EQs, making on-the-fly adjustments a breeze. If you need even more control, support for external footswitches and MIDI devices allows for seamless performance.
If you’re practicing or recording, the built-in mic’d cabinet emulation with five selectable Air Feel settings provides an authentic and immersive sound experience for your listeners. Whether you’re rocking the stage or the studio, the Artist MKII amp head has got you covered.
The Artist offers several improvements and enhancements over the standard Katana head to provide the ultimate amp experience. The dials are now front-facing for easier shaping and tweaking during a performance. Extra onboard Solo and Contour controls allow you to craft even more bespoke tones for cutting through a mix. The cabinet emulation of the Artist provides mix-ready signals for recording or sending to a house PA system.
The Boss Tone Studio app takes your Katana experience even further, especially with the Artist range. It allows you to adjust your effect orders, dial in global EQs, and customize system settings among many other possibilities. The Livesets functionality lets you save your favorite setups for instant amp reconfiguration.
The Boss Katana Artist MKII ensures that every player can experience the warm and authentic sound of a genuine tube amplifier. Using Boss’s Tube Logic approach, the Katana MKII becomes richer and more responsive as you increase the volume. With the incorporated power control, finding that tube tone sweet spot is simpler than ever. You can dial back the wattage and maintain high volume to unleash inspiring crunch tones in any environment. The Boss Tone Studio app allows you to set the power in 10W increments, allowing you to fine-tune the amp for your situation.
For a refined performance and massive tones, the Artist head pairs perfectly with the Artist MKII cab. The companion cabinet is specially designed to enhance and articulate the tones of the Artist head, thanks to its two custom-designed Waza speakers. These speakers capture the benchmark tones and response of classic British 25-watt stack speakers while boosting the power capacity to 100 Watts.
