Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
At the top of the Katana Gen 3 combo range, the 100W Artist pairs BOSS Tube Logic with a custom 12-inch Waza speaker in a semi-closed cabinet. Six amp characters and their variations give 12 starting voices, with Pushed and Bloom adding two further ways to shape response and voicing. Five onboard effects sections, eight recallable Tone Settings, and dedicated Contour, Global EQ, and Cabinet Resonance controls make it practical to prepare sounds for rehearsal, recording, or a direct PA feed.

- Keeping eight complete amp-and-effects setups ready for fast recall during a set.
