Powerful, flexible, and sonically refined, the Boss Katana-50 Gen 3 50-watt 1 × 12-inch Combo Amplifier is a compact workhorse built for modern guitarists. Available from Sky Music Australia, this third-generation Katana benefits from BOSS’s evolved Tube Logic technology, delivering enhanced dynamics, improved responsiveness, and an even more authentic valve-like feel.

This 50-watt modeling combo features six core amp voices — Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brown, Acoustic, and the all-new Pushed voice — designed to capture the coveted edge-of-breakup tone of a tube amp pushed to its limits. Engage the Variation switch to unlock an alternate voicing for each amp, giving you a total of 12 distinct amp tones to explore.

The Katana-50 Gen 3 is loaded with five simultaneous effects sections inspired by classic BOSS stompboxes, along with a powerful 3-band EQ and Presence control for precise tone shaping. With onboard Tone Setting memories, Power Control for low-volume playing, USB connectivity with cab-sim output, and stereo headphone output, this amp is equally at home in practice rooms, home studios, and casual live settings.
