Boss Katana Artist Head MkII 100-watt Guitar Amp Head (KTN-ART2HD)

The BOSS Katana Artist Head MkII squeezes the 100-watt might of the Katana Artist MkII combo into a highly portable amplifier head! The Artist Head MkII puts a veritable library of tones, tons of utility features, and an incredible level of tone-shaping potential right at your fingertips. Katana's five Tube Logic amp models include an alternate voicing each (accessible via the Variation switch), for a total of 10 core tones available directly from the front panel. And with five simultaneous effects onboard to diversify your sounds, a 3-way mid Contour for smoothing out vintage voicings, and an adjustable Solo boost all within stage reach, the BOSS Katana Artist Head MkII supplies an even more classic-amp-like playing experience. Despite its simplicity, inside this streamlined head are the bones of some of the most sophisticated amp rigs on the planet, including MIDI footswitch support and a stereo link to envelop both sides of the stage in lush 3D reverbs, delays, and more. If you’re after a stage-ready head packed with the brim with Katana versatility and might, then look no further than the BOSS Katana Artist Head MkII.
