Boss Katana-210 2x10 160W Bass Amplifier

The Boss Katana-210 Bass Amplifier is designed by the same team that brought you the highly acclaimed Katana Guitar Amps, so it is definitely something to be excited about. This beefy amp is a stage-ready unit that offers a comprehensive range of tonal options to suit the modern bass guitarist and Boss has excelled itself in creating the next level in versatility, power and tonal control. 

Re tonal versatility, the Boss Katana-210 Bass Amplifier boasts three unique amp characters with a broad tonal range enhanced by a series of brilliant onboard BOSS effects. Each of the three preamp types features a three-way Shape switch that enables you to hone its character to the exact style you need, whatever kind of music you play.  The first character is Vintage, which offers an organic tube voice with a natural drive. The second character is Flat, for a clear and smooth dynamic tone, rich in harmonics. The last character is modern and has a fast dynamic response and an extended bass range.

Every amp in the Katana range features amazing onboard BOSS effects, and the quality of the Katana-210 Bass Amp’s effects hasn't been overlooked. Dedicated comp/limiter and drive sections provide core processing, while FX1 and FX2 offer a broad array of options from the BOSS bass effects library. You’ve access to everything from chorus and flanger to octave, bass synth, and many more. Including the FX2 section’s staple delay and reverb, the Katana-210 also allows you to access over 60 total effect types which can be downloaded via the BOSS Tone Studio editor.    

The Katana-210 features a comprehensive panel of easy-to-use controls that allow you to intuitively dial in your ideal tone with precision and ease. Another great feature is the studio-inspired Blend section that lets you mix in a dry signal, which can also be shaped via three customizable settings, resulting in a fantastic, organic sound with great depth. There's also a comprehensive four-band EQ with three selectable frequency centres in the low-mid and high-mid bands. 

Ideal for live use, the Katana-210 Bass amp possesses six Tone Setting memories that enable you to store and recall your desired sounds as well as their assigned preamp type, EQ, Blend, and effect settings. You can easily switch between each tone memory via the panel controls or by using an optional footswitch, expression pedal, or GA-FC Foot Controller (each sold separately). 

When it comes to sound quality, the Katana-210’s specially designed speaker system and cabinet is the business, offering a versatile range of high-quality sound ideal for virtually any situation. Between two custom 10” woofers and high-quality tweeter combo, this amp can deliver what you need. The Katana-210 even has a bi-amp function so you can turn the tweeter on and off, so whether you play sharp slap-bass funk or mean and dirty blues, you can refine the sound of your cab.

The Katana-210 Bass Amp boasts a 160-Watt class AB power amp and is capable of some big, punchy tones, but Its compact design also makes it easy to house. It also possesses a variable Power Control so you can limit its input to achieve fully cranked-up tones even at low volume levels. For live use, it has a handy external speaker jack connection and a balanced XLR direct output with selectable direct, pre, or post signal. For even closer monitoring or silent practice, a useful headphones/recording jack is available that also features effects and mic’d cab emulation.
