BOSS has revamped its popular guitar amplifier series with the Katana MkII Version 2 update, possessing a host of new effects and tone-shaping tools available in the companion BOSS Tone Studio software for macOS and Windows.
Users can shape their core tone with three different Contour settings, each with four customisable frequency curves to choose from. Moveable Solo and EQ blocks have been added to the FX Chain for enhanced lead guitar sounds and additional tonal adjustments. With the new update, users have even greater control of their direct sound with selectable microphone types and positions in the expanded Line Out cabinet IR options.
The Version 2 update is available as a free download at the product pages for supported Katana MkII models, which includes Katana-50 MkII, Katana-100 MkII, Katana-100/212 MkII, Katana-Head MkII and Katana-Artist MkII amplifiers.
