Outstanding Bass Tones with Innovative Cabinet Calibration
Introducing the Boss KTN-500B HD Katana 500W Bass Amp Head, a compact yet powerful amplifier designed to elevate your bass performance to new heights. With advanced BOSS technology, including a newly developed Class D power amp and innovative Cab Resonance calibration, this amp delivers deeply expressive tones with unparalleled clarity and punch.
Craft your perfect bass sound with the Katana-500's wide range of tone-shaping tools. The four-band EQ, with three adjustable frequency settings for low-mid and high-mid controls, allows you to precisely tailor your tone to suit your playing style. The Bottom knob tightens the low end, while the Hi Cut button offers three selectable frequencies to smooth your sound. The Shape button provides instant revoicing options, and Amp Feel offers two selectable options to enhance your core sound for different styles. Refine your tone further with Comp and Drive controls, and add colour with three bass-tuned effects accessible via the FX section. The Blend knob allows you to mix in direct bass sound for additional clarity.
Connectivity options abound with two locking-style speaker outputs, an XLR line output with mic'd speaker emulation presets, and a dual-function output for headphones or analogue recording. USB connectivity allows for easy integration with computer music software, while optional foot controllers and Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor offer expanded control and wireless tone shaping via the BOSS Tone Studio app.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Boss KTN-500B HD Katana 500W Bass Amp Head is the ultimate tool for bassists seeking professional tone and versatility in a compact package.
