The Boss Katana head is a super-versatile piece of gear that can handle a wide variety of jobs for a gigging guitarist (I’ve even run my digital piano through the thing into a 4×12 guitar cab, just for fun.) Aside from being a great-sounding solid state amp that approaches real valve feel and tone, the Acoustic preamp setting is a pretty unique tool to have on an amplifier like this.


How does it sound, you ask? In this video, I did a little testing to demonstrate the kind of direct-out sound that the Boss Katana acoustic setting can provide.

Overall, I’ve been incredibly satisfied with the Boss Katana Head and continue to find more uses for it as time goes on. Now, to resist buying a Kemper Profiler (my wallet is perfectly satisfied with the Katana 🙂 )
