Firstly the 50 MKII EX now supports Bosss GA-FC and GA-FC EX footswitches. These allow you to select tone setting memories effects and more without going near the amp adding fluidity to your performance. In addition to that is a line out connection that can send your mix-ready tone to a house PA for professional-grade audio.

Its time to conquer the stage!
Expanded connectivity makes gigging a breeze. Are you a practice and performer? Dont want to lug heavy equipment around to venues? The 50 MKII EX is your perfect solution. Aside from being an incredibly capable combo amp on its own, the expanded connectivity of the 50 MKII Ex makes performing a breeze. Connect to a house PA using the line out while keeping the amp speaker active. Double your output by hooking up an additional Katana MKII using the stereo expand feature and shape your sound from afar with support for up to two footswitches or an expression pedal.
Support for the GA-FC and GA-FC EX footswitches. Take control to another level. These dedicated Boss switches will make your performance seamless thanks to the enhanced remote tone shaping they provide. Flick through every setting on your Katana and influence your effects from afar. No more awkward trips to the combo during or in-between songs now you can do it all with a tap of your foot!
Sensational tube tone. Authentic tube feel every time you plug in. The Boss Katana MKII ensures every player can experience the coveted sound of a genuine tube amplifier in a design thats built for the modern stage. Using Bosss Tube Logic approach, the Katana MKII becomes richer and more responsive as you crank up the volume. And thanks to an incorporated power control, finding that tube tone sweet spot is simpler than ever. Just dial back the wattage and maintain high volume to unleash inspiring crunch tones in any environment without bringing the house down.
Phenomenal versatility. As guitarists, we are constantly exploring the expansive world of amp tone. Which is exactly why Boss have loaded the Katana MKII with five different amp characters for you to indulge in. The Clean setting gives you all the crisp natural clarity you crave while the Crunch option provides those gritty blues-rock tones that defined an era. The next step is Lead. Soaring melodies and scorching distorted tones for solos of any genre – and we mean any genre. For the gain-lovers; Brown. From chugging to shredding, the Brown setting is born for all things metal. And finally, an Acoustic mode for that soothing resonant voice thatll make your electro-acoustic sparkle with character. Truthfully, there really isnt anything the MKII cant do.
And were still not done. In this second incarnation of the Katana, Boss have added two variants for each amp character. So players now have 10 amp tones to experiment with, unearthing even more sonic possibilities for your sound. And with 4 integrated memory slots, you can save your sculpted tones and access them whenever you need to with the touch of a button. Its this extensive versatility that makes the Katana MKII Bosss most functional amp to date and why players now have the power to truly explore their creativity to its fullest.
Let your creativity flourish. Decorate your tone. The Boss Katana MKII comes equipped with five simultaneous effects categories for you to sculpt, shape, and innovate your sound. But these effects arent just your standard factory presets – theyre fully customizable, putting the tone-shaping power of an entire pedalboard right inside your amplifier. Boosts, delay, reverb, and so much more; the MKII features three variations of each effect, gifting you 15 ways to color your sound right out of the box.
