Discrete MOSFET preamp delivers dynamic overdrive tones that sound straight out of a hot tube amplifier Rear effects loop allows you to integrate your favorite time-based and modulation pedals after the MOSFET preamp I also really like the look of this thing; With the cream color cabinet and the dark speaker grille, and the "pointer" type knobs, it has a very "vintage" look about it. Very light, easy to carry. Brown– A lead sound with an edge, inherited from the BOSS WAZA brown sound. Inspired by the famous “EVH” sound.

BOSS made their name from producing compact guitar pedals, and it’s fair to say that its effects units remain the industry standard. It therefore made sense for the company to cram a bunch of its famous, high-quality effects into its Katana amplifiers. However, BOSS took it to the next level with the MkII series. Players can now employ 5 different effects simultaneously rather than just 3, essentially giving users pedalboard-like power with their MkII amps. We’ve put two of the most advanced and hotly-debated solid-state amp ranges head-to-head, ultimately to help you to decide which amps are better. Serving as all-encompassing workhorses for recording and live performance, it’s clear that Katana MkII and Silverline amps pretty much cover all of the bases from their impressive feature-sets and specs. But is there a clear winner? Superb Tone-Shaping Options - A three-band EQ (bass, middle, and treble) is complemented by a unique ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control that lets you fine-tune the amp's tone by shifting between a more "American" or "British" sound. This versatility allows you to dial in your ideal sound, whether you're playing blues, country, metal, or anything in between. On top of these versatile built-in sounds, you can also take advantage of a Silverline’s comprehensive 5-band EQ section. With Bass, Middle, Treble, Presence and Resonance controls, these enable complete control over the key areas of your guitar’s sound. Although the larger BOSS Katana MkII amps feature ‘Cab Resonance’ switches with 3 different settings, the sweep-able Resonance controls on Silverline amps are more intuitive and allow for precise adjustment of the lows. While we’ve explained the specific features of these similar amps in great detail, seeing their key specs directly compared makes it easier to understand if one better suits your needs over the other. And that’s exactly why we’ve created the table below, putting their features side-by-side:It’s worth mentioning that on the smaller Silverline Standard and Special amps, some of these EQ knobs are missing from their control panels. However, they can cleverly be accessed via the ‘TAP’ button, with alternative controls adjusting those parameters. So for example, to control the Resonance and Presence you can simply press the TAP button and use the Bass and Treble knobs respectively. To alter the mid-range, you can employ the TAP function in conjunction with the ‘ISF’ control. Two-Channel Design - The Debut 50R features two channels - one clean and one overdrive - that can be switched via a footswitch (not included), allowing you to switch between different sounds seamlessly. Additionally, the amp has a built-in reverb that can be adjusted to add depth and atmosphere to your sound.

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, this amp is a fantastic choice for practicing, recording, or gigging. Building on their best-selling formula, Boss has unveiled its next generation of flagship guitar amplifiers - the Katana MkII series! Cutting-edge features include double the amp sounds, extra effects (now up to 5 at once), power amp functionality and MUCH more. The most recent amp lineups from these well-known names are getting a lot closer to the real thing. With plenty of modern perks up their sleeves too, including various built-in amp types, effects and even emulations of real power amp tubes; today’s players are fortunate to have these versatile tonal platforms available. But when it comes to their sounds, features and value-for-money – which brand is currently making the better guitar amplifiers? BOSS Katana MkII Amps

Lastly, all Katana MkII amps boast USB and phones/recording outputs with mic’d cabinet emulation. These let you send mix-ready amp tones direct to an audio interface for recording into a DAW (digital audio workstation), or even a front-of-house PA system for live performance. And if you want to practice silently with headphones– that’s not a problem either! ALL tones in this video come straight from the amp, recorded in stereo - no pedals or external processing was used! Clean Bright– ‘Boutique’, with tighter bass and chiming mids and highs; breaks up when pushed hard.

Infinite Shape - Patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) tone control for the ultimate in user sound customisation. Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty BOSS Katana MkII amplifiers also boast 4-band EQ sections (Bass, Middle, Treble and Presence), which enable precise tone-shaping. The Katana MkII 100 2×12″ and 100 head feature ‘Cab Resonance’ functions, which allow you to further tailor the lows with their ‘Vintage’, ‘Modern’ and ‘Deep’ settings.
