The Boss Katana 2×12 Cabinet with Waza Speakers pairs perfectly with the Katana Artist MKII Head. It delivers impeccable articulation through custom-designed Waza speakers, producing full-bodied 60s-style tones with tight lows, punchy mids, and a smooth high end. The premium construction maximizes the resonance of the twin speakers, resulting in an immersive and impactful sound. The removable back panel allows you to switch between open-back or closed-back performance on the fly. If you need even more power, you can pair two Katana 2×12 cabinets for a clean 4×12 setup. Designed specifically for the Katana Artist MKII Head, this 2×12 cabinet with Waza speakers brings your riffs to life with responsiveness and articulation.
The Artist offers several improvements and enhancements over the standard Katana head. The front-facing dials make shaping and tweaking your tone easier during a performance. Additional onboard Solo and Contour controls allow for even more customisation, helping your guitar cut through the mix. The built-in cabinet emulation provides mix-ready signals for recording or sending to a house PA system. With the Boss Tone Studio app, you can unlock abundant tone shaping options and adjust your effect orders, dial in global EQs, and customise system settings.
The Boss Katana Artist MKII ensures every player can experience the warm sound of a genuine tube amplifier. Using Boss’s Tube Logic approach, the amp becomes richer and more responsive as you increase the volume. The incorporated power control allows you to find the perfect tube tone sweet spot by dialing back the wattage while maintaining high volume. The Boss Tone Studio app allows you to set the power in 10W increments, giving you even more control over your tone.
