Crafted Tones, Forged for Rock

Katana - the traditional sword carried by the historic samurai of Japan - is a symbol of honor, precision, and artistry in Japanese culture. Adopting the majestic sword's name with pride, the Katana series presents guitar amplifiers with smooth, cutting tones honed by generations of dedication and expertise. Born of the development process behind the acclaimed Waza amplifier, these innovative amps embody BOSS's determined pursuit of the ultimate rock sound.

The amp also excels for home playing, with a uniquely efficient design and innovative Power Control that provides inspiring sound and response at low volumes. In addition, the Katana-100/212 includes integrated access to 55 BOSS effects, which are customizable using the free BOSS Tone Studio editor software.

Had it for 4 weeks now, tinkered around with the tone studio also. I find this amp mid/trebley. Harsh/flat and grainy sounding also. I've used different guitars through it, Ibanez with Duncans, 1980 Hagstrom, Peavey Vandenberg Sig, Squire vintage strat. I want to like this amp, maybe I need to tinker a lot more with it. I do like the crunch channel. Have a Zoom G2.1u that I used with my Marshall that I'm going to try with it. May have better luck.

Je viens de recevoir cette semaine cet appareil. J'en ai encore la mâchoire décrochée. Il sonne extrêmement bien au tant avec guitare électrique q'en mode acoustique. Je voulais le 2-12 pour avoir plus de présence avec la guitare acoustique et cet amplis remplis sa mission avec brio. Toutes mes guitares électriques sonnent mieux sur cet amplis que sur mon amplis a lampe YGM-4. Les effets intégrés sonnent aussi très très bien et l'apprentissage de l'ensembles des contrôles se fait aussi facilement. Pour bien gérer toutes les possibilités il faut acheter le pédalier en option.

The Katana is an amazing amp. Sounds good clean, sounds good dirty. It's stinking loud as well. The boss tone studio is simple and fun as hell. Get the sneaky amps patch it's a must. I love this amp and will never sell it.

So, I went into the store ready to buy a VOX tube amp, had the money and everything up front, was completely set on buying it. Then, I heard a dude play this baby next to me while I was using the VOX AC15C1. I swear, this amp sounded amazing coming from this guy, and he was playing a Fender stratocaster through it. I ended up talking to him and playing around with the thing for about an hour and a half before changing my mind and buying the Katana. I can say after 5 months of owning this thing that I am well beyond impressed. It really does sound very much like a high quality tube amp, maybe even better than some at this price range. The effects on it are far beyond gimmicks, and really do have the genuine sound and tone. Also, very adjustable too. If you're looking for an amp that you can gig, practice, and just screw around with, this amp will suit your needs tenfold.

I bought this amp (100 watt 2x12 model) after reading lots of positive reviews and then giving one a try at L&M. Plug in your favourite guitar, close your eyes and think "great tube amp". I have owned several good tube amps (Vox, Marshall, and Mesa) I still have a really great tube amp but wanted a good modelling amp as a backup. I tried a few of the other modelling amp so bailable in the process. This amps tube sounds and playing responsiveness are very convincing. The built in effects are fully fledged Boss effects. Controls are intuitive, no crazy digital screens or menus to get lost in. I am thoroughly impressed with the sound quality and Boss' approach to designing these amps. And it is LOUD when you need it to be with output power scaling down to a loud 1/2 watt if you want that. Despite its moderate price point this amp is not a toy or just a practice amp. That's why it is so revolutionary. This amp is simply too versatile and great sounding for me to ever get rid of. A relatively low cost amp that REALLY sounds and plays like a great tube amp? Who'd of thought! Get one while you can. They sell out fast (there's a reason for that ;-) ! Gonna keep it for a good long time. Cheers!

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
