Selling my Boss Katana 50 because I just have too many amps. It's a great little amp and I gig with it regularly. It has all the great Boss effects built in and you can plug it into the Boss software in your computer and tweak all the effects. I'd like to keep it but can't have them all. Ships in the original box with all original packing.
I'd say it's easily 9.5/10 condition - probably better.
$150.00 plus shipping from 34209.

Question! How was it as a beginner/first amp on an S10? Would the Katana 100 make much of difference for home practice? |

Honestly, I've never played steel through it but it would probably work fine. 12" speaker like a Nashville 112. Maybe someone who has played steel through one can jump in. I've used it as a lead guitar gigging amp and it works fine. _________________ 2013 Brook Torridge, 2014 Martin 000-18, two homebrew Teles, Evans RE200 amp, Quilter 101R head, understanding wife of 45 years.

Excuse me for jumping in. This amp is great for home or a small gig venue. If I did not already have one I would jump on it and it sounds great with a steel. _________________ Mark T

I have a Katana 100, and I have yet, to have it set to the 100W. I play mostly in my home, but have played it out a few times. It has 5W, 50W, 100W, and it have never been used on the 100W. I have tried it on the 5W, but didn't really like it, but it is always on the 50W. Great little amp, but I still favor the Nashville 112. _________________ Zum U-12, Carter SDU-12, Zum Encore, Emmons S-10, Emmons D-10, Nashville 400, Two Peavey Nashville 112, Boss Katana 100, Ibanez DD700, Almost every Lesson Jeff Newman sold.

I bought the 100 head only six days ago. I am using it with a PF 350 speaker. I couldn't be happier. So far, here at home, I think I'm finally getting the sound I have been looking for. Closest sound to a tube amp that I have ever got. 50 watts is loud! 100 watt setting will blow barn doors off. I will be giving it a try on a gig next week for the first time. I will be really surprised if I need more than the 50 watts. The head only has a built in 5" speaker for practice and tuning.
My advice, grab this amp. For the price, the weight, the features and the sound, it can't be beat. Ron Hogan has a bunch of sound clips on the forum if you would like to hear it. |

George, how do you like the sound you get out of the 5" speaker? _________________ Four Pettingills and a Clinesmith Aluminum. Fender Blues Junior. Quilter Mini-101. |

The 5" speaker is surprisingly pretty good for what it is. It is much better than I expected. It is meant for practice of tuning. Although I am using my PF 350 speaker for practice right now because it is new and I want to break it in. Once that is done, I will be using the 5" speaker for practice. I have never heard of a head only amp with a speaker. I think it's genius and handy as a pocket on a shirt. When you plug a speaker
in, the 5" speaker automatically shuts off. If I ever blow my speaker on a gig, I can see micing the 5" speaker to finish the gig. |

I played my Ritt through both the 50 and the 100 they both sound awesome I bought the 100 just in case I need more power. I like the NV 112 but I like the Boss because of the effects. They are both great amps for Steel. _________________ Custom Rittenberry SD10
