New BOSS Katana GEN 3 Amps | Kris & Guillaume | Thomann

Arigato, Team Thomann! Excellent demonstration.

MK4 planned for next year with optional cigar lighter and alarm clock radio🤣

Boss is a very consistent and reliable brand, I’ve had several of its products throughout the years and you always know what to expect in terms of sound and build quality.

As a gen 1 and 2 katana owner, Bluetooth & mobile app should have been available when first released. Line 6 did it way back with the Amplifi range. Feels like they have held back on certain functions as a corporate strategy, drip feeding us basic updates just to cash in.

Awesome 👍🏻😎 demo you two are only getting better at the Boss demos. Amazing playing and tones 🔥

It's always so much fun to watch you two 🤙 Keep on rocking guys 😎

G'day Kris & Guillaume, Thanks for a great video. I've been watching your channel for a few months now, but I've only started noticing how great the sound reproduction is. I watch your shows on my TV, through a reasonable 2.1 stereo system, & I'm enjoying hearing your guitars coming from either side of the room. That's a great effort on your part. Keep up the good work Andrew BTW, the amps sound good too.... :)

Yo, this looks great, the fact that they've added an extra channel says a lot!

MkIi owner here. They added some nice features in gen 3, hopefully an update will add tuner and maybe 64/128 memory locations which would make so much sense in a midi setuo

Dang. All it needed was the tiny screen from the Katana go for the tuner and to show what effect is selected so you don't have to carry a crib sheet to see what effect "yellow" is. Such a missed opportunity. Also, have the dang controls closer to the front! You know, where the player is. I don't play behind or on top of my amp.

super presentation and imo super amplifiers. Bang for the buck is stunning imo.

Would be great to see a comparison against the new Catalyst

Sounds fabulous, where do I sign, I have two mk 1s

wish boss would make a more complete footswitch for these with a display, tuner, expression pedal on board!

Hi, thank you for the really useful videos that you post. There is though an option for using the Katana as a power Amp that is confusing me according to answers from Thomann and the internet community. Connecting to audio interfaces. I bought a 50 gen3 from Thomann a week ago and I am trying to figure out how I can use Katana as a Monitor for my portable iRig HD2, so that I can also use Amplitube when I am practising. The iRig has two options for sending audio, the most suitable for monitoring (according to the manual) is from the headphone out (stereo). So, can I use a 1/8 stereo to 1/4 mono jack that I saw in Thomann to connect my interface to Katana? I mean, that's what power amp in does, am I correct?

I have been closer to finally getting a Boss Katana Artist MkII over the last week, and I was JUST ABOUT to potentially purchase one in the next day or two, and I just happen to see a Reddit post about Gen 3! As for the accessories I was looking at, I assume the past ones will be compatible, but are there any plans for a new footswitch, expression pedal, etc.? I'm not saying they need to, but as someone just coming into the Katana line, I would want to get the newer accessories if they were going to make them. Also, any word on the release date of thr Artist version? Thanks for the video! 🙂👍

Having presets with the additional pedal is nice, but the front-panel should have been digitized with encoders with LED-indicators instead of regular labelled pots so that it would be possible to edit presets without the app too. Now you more or less have to ignore the front-panel when using presets. Motorized pots like the Hook Wizard could be an option too, but possibly too expensive and prone to breaking.

Is the line out stereo? I thought it was just the headphone jack which does mute the speaker. If the line out is stereo that would be phenomenal.

Shouldn't Bluetooth be built into the Amp already without having to fork out more money for an adapter...???

Finally, Bluetooth connection to my phone. I may finally buy a Katana.
