The Katana-Artist MkII elevates the premier model in the Katana line with next-generation features and flexibility. New vocal variations for the five amp characters double your tone choices, while the onboard effects categories have been expanded from three to five. Exclusive front-panel controls offer even more sound-shaping options, including a three-way Contour switch, Global EQ with three customizable curves, and Solo boost with adjustable level. And with the powerful new Dual Amp feature, it's easy to link and control two Katana-Artist MkIIs for massive, ultra-wide tones.
Refined sound for professional artists
Just like its predecessor, the Katana-Artist MkII has been designed with additional details for demanding professional gamers. BOSS's custom Waza speaker brings you the best in vintage rock, while the speaker's wide baffle and semi-closed back give you precise, punchy sounds with rich bass and full midrange. Additionally, every character of the Katana-Artist MkII amp has been specially highlighted for optimal response with the speaker and cabinet.
