Alongside the evolution of their Katana amps, Boss has also evolved its accompanying Tone Studio software.

I bought this amp at the beginning of 2020 (so the beginning of the pandemic) since I needed an amp that I can use at home, without waking up my neighbors. Taking inspiration from the Japanese sword of the same name, the amps provide a smooth, cutting tone perfect for gigging musicians, as well as for use in recording and practicing.

Two-channel USB operation is also supported, allowing you to track in true stereo with many of the Katana MkII's modulation, EQ, delay, and reverb effects - for an engulfing, three-dimensional sound.

The stage-class Katana MkII lineup picks up where the first generation left off, building on the same core tones and features that have made the series such a worldwide smash. Backed by BOSS's Tube Logic approach, Katana MkII delivers the authentic output distortion characteristics of genuine tube amplifiers, with the sound and feel becoming richer and more responsive as you turn up the volume. Both the GA-FC and its "bigger brother" the GA-FC EX allow players to tap into the full range of functions that the Boss Katana 50 MKII EX has to offer. Very pleased with the sound quality and tones and the BOSS Tone Studio is brill although I've not had a chance to get into it properly. If your product develops a fault within the guarantee period beyond economical repair your product will be replaced "like for like" as determined by Rimmers Music, or monetary compensation will be given to the equivalent current market value of the product at the time (subject to condition at the sole discretion of Rimmers Music).

Simply connect it to your rear-panel Power Amp In jack to bypass the onboard preamp and internal effects and go straight to the Tube Logic power section.

After you’ve dialed in a sound with the controls, simply save it to the desired memory with a quick button hold. However, it can also be used as a powered cabinet for preamp pedals, modellers and multi-effects units!

Until just a few years ago, getting your hands on an amp of this quality meant spending a lot more money.
