BOSSKatana-50 EX Gen 3 50-watt 1 x 12-inch Combo Amplifier

There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said about this thing.. It's an incredible amp. I got the additional bluetooth adaptor which made it even more awesomererer.. and it's giggable.. Made up word but musicians will figure it out. Great product.. game changing even..

This is a great practice amp!

I purchased a Kantana 50 Gen3 and love the amp. Main reasons for purchase was sound quality, easy software, bluetooth connectivity and you can play backing tracks thru the amp via bluetooth once you figure out how to do it. The follow is how to do it. This is for Gen3 Series Kantana. I use iOs operating systems but procedure should be the same for Windows. I also use Kantana Librarian and not the Boss Tone Studio, better iOs interface. You will need to purchase the BT (bluetooth) adapter and install to BT port on back of amp. Next install your software to PC, ipad, iphone or what everYou will be using to run software. All installed turn on amp and launch software, in Kantana Librarian go to Settings>Manage Midi Device, it should display offline for midi device. On the amp press the BT adapter Button, short press so the blue led flashes slow, go back to software and you should see offline status change, press connect. When connected move back to main screen and press Connect Amp at top of screen then press Connect Amp on next page, once connected your software should control amp and amp will control software. Move knob on amp and that knob value will increase/decrease in software. To play backing tracks you will need to setup the Kantana Audio Bluetooth, this is done via the computers bluetooth setting. Enter your OS bluetooth setup (control panel) and search for BT devices, next long press (3-5 seconds) the BT adapter button and the blue led should rapid flash, it is now in audio discover mod. Go back to control panel and connect to the KantanaAudio device. Once connected you can now play backing tracks from computer to amp. It is important to under stand the boss bluetooth adapter is a dual BT device to connect software and audio over two distinct BT channels. For software connect thru software with short press on BT button for long flashing, to connect audio long press BT button for short flashes and use control center to connect.

THe USB interface does not work so you cant install the driver and as a result you cant load in the tone center software which is crucial to get the most out of the amp. Product support is non existent. If you dont mind spending countless hours dealing IT related issues like these then I suppose this is the product for you. I hate writing a bad review like this but would rather save others countless hours of wasted time researching into the issue.

This is my second one and the added features coming from the MKII are a nice treat. Highly recommend.

Great amp. Frustrating app.

quick response

Exceeds expectations. Love the upgrades. So glad I went for the 50EX! Sounds amazing
