Introducing the Boss Katana KTN500B bass guitar amplifier head

The Katana-500 takes professional bass amplification to the next level with its advanced Boss technology, wide range of premium tools, and 500 watts of deep and expressive tones. This bass head features refined preamp circuitry, a professionally developed Class D power amp, and innovative Cab Resonance calibration, giving players the ideal bass sound. It also offers expansive connectivity for every playing situation.

With the innovative Cab Resonance feature, you can quickly calibrate the amplifier’s output voice to achieve the ideal response with any speaker cabinet. There’s also wide-ranging four-band EQ, including low-mid and high-mid controls with three adjustable frequency settings. Plus, the Katana 500w has two high-current speaker outputs with robust locking connectors, as well as an XLR line output and a headphone/recording jack.

Boss designed the Katana-500 for serious players who want a professional sound experience that they can shape into their own unique playing style. It’s built to be compact, durable and portable, so performing musicians can bring it with them to gigs and other live events. And, if you want to keep all your gear in one place, then the CB-VE22 padded carry case is exactly what you’re looking for.

Customise your sound with premium tools

Enhance your performance with two Amp Feel settings. Explore the compressor and drive controls, each with three selectable types. Shape switch with mid-scoop, bright, and wide-range options. Optimise your input with the pad switch for high-output active pickups. Adjust your range using the Hi Cut button and its three selectable frequencies. Use the bottom knob to tighten the sound and eliminate sub-bass rumble, and use the blend knob to mix in the dry bass sound. The Katana-500 even has onboard memory for saving and recalling a custom setup with just a touch.
