Review: Boss Katana Gen 3 Guitar Amplifier

Guitar amplifiers have seen many innovations, but few have made as much impact as the Boss Katana series!

Is it possible to use the new amp in conjunction with the waza-air, and the new channel too.

Bought a Fender Mustang a couple of months ago. Finding it a little to complex. This looks easier to find the sound you need.

Which one? But yes the Katana is less a tweakers amp tbh more simple typical boss

Yeah, Justin did a really good job in this video to show that you can use the amp really easily with the main knob. And you can tweak things if you want with the app and more knobs but you really don’t have to.

Thanks for the review! Very informative.

Looks like a great amp, but VERY disappointed that I cannot enter the draw to win one. You’d think Justin of all people would make the prize available in Tasmania! :sunglasses:

Yeah, when I got to the part that said Europe only, I was quite disappointed. Blatant continentism! :wink:

If it would come with Justin’s guitar playing skills, it would be a definite buy! :grinning:
Now stuck with the mini version, which for my skill level is good enough. But once I’m getting better, this one is definitely top of the list.

My problem too. I find that Boss amps make me sound bad, same with Marshall, Line6, Fender, Vox etc :joy: My next upgrade needs to be to my skills!

European Residents Only again!, when are we going to get something from your home country, Australia
Love the amp tho!

I entered the draw and according to the confirmation I should have received an email. This hasn’t arrived. Is that because the UK isn’t in Europe?

spanish here and didn’t get it either, so it must be a general thing

Great to see Justin reviewing products and jamming about. Picked up a few riffs/licks just by watching. And if the Katana 100 is good enough for Justin (even if he is getting a commision) it;s defintitely good enough for me.

Absolutely loving this . Learning is a daily exercise, with music every day.

Same for me, Stuart and Kevin. Europe is falling apart! :rofl:

Same in the capital of Europe here - we’re doomed :smiley:

This was great, I bought a Katana Mark II, which came with no instructions on how to use it, which for a newbie like me was not helpful at all. So glad I watched this, I’ll now at least have the basics

Graeme,

There are an almost unbelievable number of videos online about the Katana amps…
Also, did you download the user manual from Boss? It’s pretty darned informative as well.
I have the Katana 50 MK II & have never messed around with the Tone Studio that Boss provides online - I get some really good sounding tones just twiddling the knobs!
In Justin’s Playground/Gear Reviews on the JustinGuitar website, he has a 30 minute review of the Katana that helped me get started with the amp!
Good luck!!!

Tod
