Authentic Katana Tone
The KATANA:GO drives your sessions with the authentic sounds of the best-selling Katana stage amp series. Guitar Mode features 10 unique amp characters, including Clean, Crunch, the high-gain BOSS Brown-type, two characters optimized for acoustic/electric guitar and more. There is also a dedicated Bass Mode with Vintage, Modern and Flat types taken directly from the Katana Bass amps. Each mode contains a vast library of BOSS effects to explore, with in-depth sound customization options available in the accompanying BOSS Tone Studio app for iOS and Android.
Immersive Stage Feel
The innovative Stage Feel feature in KATANA:GO offers an immersive playing experience realized with advanced spatial BOSS technology. Through presets, you can place the amplifier and background music in different places in the sound field, making it seem like you are playing with a backline on stage or jamming with friends in a room. It's even possible to personalize the sound field with the intuitive tools in the BOSS Tone Studio.
Limitless inspiration
The guitar and bass modes in the KATANA:GO each have 30 memories of ready-made sounds. BOSS Tone Studio lets you tweak the preset memories, create sounds from scratch or import Tone Setting memories created with stage-class Katana guitar and bass amps. The app also provides integrated access to BOSS Tone Exchange; where you can download professionally curated Livesets and share sounds with the global BOSS community.
*Currently, only Livesets created by BOSS can be downloaded through the BOSS Tone Studio app. Support for downloading and sharing user content will be added in June 2024. You can access all user content features by visiting BOSS Tone Exchange with your web browser.
