Boss Katana-100 Gen 3 100-watt 1 x 12-inch Combo Amplifier
Katana Gen 3 100W 1x12" Combo Guitar AmplifierThe 58 Thinline combines the warm, vintage sound of a semi-hollowbody with the fat tone of two Rockfield SWC humbucker pickups. Its carved top and chambered mahogany body are both balanced and lightweight. The model boasts a rock maple neck with a modern “C” profile and a roasted jatoba fretboard with a 10” radius, and is comfortable for playing chords and blistering leads.

The 58 Thinline offers quick-and-easy access to an assortment of lush, versatile tones. The Great 8 electronics let you switch from thick humbucker sounds to twangy single-coil tones and everything in between, thanks to two push-pull switches added to the volume and tone knobs, so that when pulled up, one coil of the humbucker is disengaged, giving you a cleaner single-coil tone. You can control each pickup separately, maximizing your options.
The 58 Thinline looks great and offers players a wide range of classic and modern sounds, at a street price of just $379.
The new rhythmic ethereal delay voiced by Jeorge Tripps offers vintage-rack-style processing that delivers trippy psychedelia atmospheres, spacy shoegazer journeys, and organ auras with octave controls all packed into a small Phase-90-sized box.
