Before you buy this amplifier, order a Avatar-Fane M65 65-Watt 12" Cream Speaker, made in England by Fane Corp. This speaker is a killer for this amplifier. Or go read about the Avatar-Fane M65 12" Speaker! This Boss Katana-50 MKII 50 Watt 1x12 Combo Amplifier has so many features that it's mind boggling! Plus you can download new Firmware and tons of effects for it and it's easy to do. I am getting a very nice Fender Blackface Deluxe Reverb sound out of this combo amp and that's just one setting. Like any modeling amp, you have to play with it and adjust it the way you want it to sound...and it does take some time to get it just right. But once you do, WOW, you will be amazed at what you come up with. This amplifier will crank it out too. But the clean tones are what I like so I sought out all the clean tones and versions I could come up with and the results were fantastic. The MKII does not have a 1/4" Speaker cabinet output to plug your favorite speaker box into. But there is a very easy way to modify this with a Boss Factory kit you can buy to add a 1/4" jack onto the back of this cabinet. You have to be mechanically inclined and know a little about changing out or converting various components, switches, and input/output jacks. But it's not rocket science! Anyway, this amp may be small, but man oh man it can kick your butt across the room as good as any 50-Watt amp, maybe even better than some you have most likely tried over the years. I have a lot of amplifiers, too many really, but this one has me hooked with the tone right now. At the price of this amp, you would be hard pressed to find a better one in this amp specifications/rating category! Oh, and you can pick this little amp up and carry it anywhere, it's that light. Happy picking folks!!!Read full review

There's a reason this amp is a runaway hit. It's very affordable, has familiar control panel knobs, looks nice and gets very good sounds very easily right away. With the Tone Studio free software, you can dig down into the inner settings and get at all 60 of the virtualized Boss pedals included to program the front panel with your favorite setups. It only weighs 25 pounds and seems lighter than that to pick up. The speaker and amp seem to be well tuned for each other. I wish it came with a footswitch included and a slipcover would have been nice too but those details aren't a dealbreaker - I can get both separately. I suppose omitting those is part of keeping the price so low, making it affordable for almost anyone.

Bought this as a gift for my guy. Was risky because he is a seriously good professional guitar player. He has a 30-year old amp that’s awesome but weighs 70 pounds. This one weighs 11. He’s particular about his sound, and after working with the Boss he likes it better. I’m stunned. I thought the Boss would be a great practice amp but he will use it at gigs with a full band.

Well what can i say?....i started out just going to get a little practice amp to get back into electric guitar after a 7-8 year break with only an old acoustic from Marlborough miles about 30 years old lol....I'm REALLY glad i decided to just spend a couple hundred for a good amp....and THIS one is incredibly awesome and surprisingly small and light for a 50 watt 112 amp ( i think it even has a preamp tube like a 12ax7 maybe but not 100% sure yet....JUST got it but I'm ALREADY impressed lol

Great little amp with many variations of effects. I wanted something easy to carry around but with good sound. Fun amplifier.
