The Korena take
Katana Gen 3 50W combines a custom 12-inch speaker with six amp voices—Acoustic, Clean, Pushed, Crunch, Lead, and Brown—and a selectable variation for each. Power Control offers 0.5W, half-power, and full-power settings, so the same combo can be set for home practice, rehearsal, or a live setup. BOSS Tone Studio adds more than 60 effects plus effect-order, cabinet-resonance, Contour, EQ, and Liveset controls. USB-C supports direct recording with IR-based cabinet emulation; Power Amp In accommodates an external preamp or modeler.
