Boss Katana 50 Amp Review
But instead of trying to cop the sound and feel of a tube amp platform the katana has a sound all its own providing the characteristics one would expect from a tube amp.
Boss katana 50 amp review. The question that everyone s asking. Boss katana 50 i received my new boss katana 50 amp from sweetwater and was greatly surprised by the quality and functions of this cost friendly accessory. I still can t believe the original price point of around 160. Like its namesake this amp is powerful versatile and precise.
I m a newbie when it comes to amplifiers but for the money the boss katana 50 mkii is a winner in my opinion. With the features this amp comes with the overall quality i think it can t be beat for the price. Clean crunch etc a 12 speaker that booms with the bass and really makes the sound so much richer as well as 3 types of effects you can layer together. Is the boss katana 50 worth the money.
The katana 50 appears to be equally complex in terms of number of dials but it has proper eq settings very easy to choose amp styles eg. All eq on the amp at 12 o clock. Im using a helix at the moment but if i decided to go back to an amp. It has great sound with unlimited tones and effects.
The boss katana 50 mkii is a combo from the effects laden amp line that promises to be loud enough to take care of business in rehearsal and on stage. I know i could rely on the katana to deliver. Named after the sword carried by the legendary samurai the boss katana ktn 50 is a force to be reckoned with. And the professional friendly crew at sweetwater not to mention the prompt delivery make this purchase a no brainer.
If you re just starting out playing guitar the katana packs everything you might need from an amp into an affordable durable and easy to carry package. In fact given the volume to spare you could also opt for the 25w mode cranking both volumes for a little extra sustain and punch. My katana 50 combo cut through as well as any valve amp i ve used. Great product at an even better cost.
Only about 5 years ago i was resigned to the fact i d need to drop at least 500 on a new gig able amp. The littlest brother of the boss katana line of amps this amp packs heaps of tone and dynamics comparable to a valve amp. That s on the 50w mode clean channel gain just less than half volume the same and master maxed.
