Target Customer: An outstanding example of affordable tone-tweaking technology that tube amps just can’t compete with I loved the huge range of BOSS effects this amp had to offer, and I think just about everyone who tries this amp will love it too.
SOLID STATE POWER AMPLIFIER PRO
It also comes with five amp voicings, and a great software package giving you access to 60 classic BOSS effects via the BOSS Tone Studio Editor, as well as virtually endless customization potential for the effects and amp settings create your own setup, or download setups courtesy of pro guitarists from the BOSS Tone Studio website. It was perfect for lowering the overall volume without losing my tone by having to turn down the volume or gain controls. The amps have a 0.5W setting which is perfect for practicing at home. The 50W might do the trick as well but with a drummer in the room, you will likely need the 50W combo amp cranked just to keep up. The 100W version is perfectly sized for gigging or jamming with a band. For testing purposes, I got my hands on a 100W compact head as well as both the 100W and 50W versions of the combo amp. This amp is available in both head amp and combo amp units. The effects loop means you can add your fave effects pedals after the preamp section for even more tone-tweaking. And it gets better: you can use the Stereo Expand feature to run the signal from dual Katanas, for some epic stereo sound. Tone tweakers will love all the amp variations, the five amp voicings (Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brown, and Acoustic), as well as the 60 timeless BOSS effects and customization options within the BOSS Tone Studio editor. With cab-emulated outputs and monitoring, it’s perfect for silent stage and studio guitar alike, and the multi-channel footswitch support means you can access a ton of different sounds with a whole lot less fiddling. Whether you’re looking to access that powerful hundred-watt output section in order to amplify the modelers and preamps you already have, or you’re crafting your signature tones from scratch, this amp is an amazing all-in-one offering for gigs and home practice alike.
