This amp is incredibly clear, punchy, and responsive, realized with 500 watts of carefully tuned Class\n\nD power. Cab Resonance takes things even further, using high-tech calibration to internally fine-tune the power output section for your preferred speaker cabinet.\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-Touch Cabinet Calibration\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nEvery speaker cabinet has its own characteristic impedance curve and frequency response, and these elements affect how the amplifier feeding it behaves. With a simple button press, the Cab Resonance feature in the Katana-500 Bass Head calibrates the amp’s reactive output stage circuitry to match the unique properties of the connected cabinet. Our proprietary process analyzes numerous elements, including the lowest frequency that the cabinet can produce, high-end resonances, and many other factors. With this information, advanced processing dynamically enhances the output to provide superior feel and response, powerful lows, and high-definition overall sound.\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCraft Your Core Tone\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nThe Katana-500 Bass Head offers a deeps election of controls to hone your sound. Boost or cut frequencies with the four-band active EQ and choose from three low-mid and high-mid frequency options to target specific ranges. Grab the Bottom knob to optimize the low end for different stages and toggle three Hi Cut settings to smooth the sound as needed. And with the Shape button, you can instantly revoice the amp with mid-scoop, bright, and wide-range curves.\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdd Character and Color\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nOnce you’ve set up your fundamental bass voice, refine it even more with sophisticated tone- shaping tools. Amp Feel offers two selectable options to enhance the core sound for different styles. Modern provides an extended frequency range and more dynamic sensitivity, while Vintage introduces the warmth and character of classic amps from the past. Comp and Drive types are available to control dynamics and introduce grit and aggression. And with the FX section, you can access three bass-tuned effects for color and inspiration. There’s also a Blend knob to dial in some direct bass sound for additional clarity.\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eRobust Connectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nThe Katana-500 Bass Head integrates a versatile range of connectivity into its compact design. Two locking-style speaker outputs support high-current operation, and the XLR line output can send a simultaneous signal to a house PA from direct, pre, or post locations in the amp’s signal path. You can further shape the line output voice from the front panel with three mic’d speaker emulation presets and three custom settings. There’s also a dual-function output for headphones practice or analog recording, plus USB for capturing mix-ready tracks in your favorite computer music software.\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpand Your Frontiers\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nUsing BOSS Tone Studio, you can view and edit all amp parameters on your computer and access over 60 BOSS effects to swap alternate types for the Comp, Drive, and FX sections. Plugging in a GA-FC or GA-FC EX foot controller provides remote operation of numerous amp functions, including the front-pane l user memory and two additional memories. And with the optional Bluetooth® Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor, you can stream music from a mobile device and wirelessly shape tones using the BTS editor app for iOS and Android.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eCompact 500-watt bass amplifier head with professional tone tools for serious players\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eNext level performance with a newly developed Class D power amp and innovative Cab Resonance calibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eEnhance the core bass sound for different styles with two Amp Feel settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eWide-ranging four-band EQ, including low-mid and high-mid controls with three adjustable frequency settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eCompressor and drive controls, each with three selectable types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eShape switch with mid-scoop, bright, and wide-range options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eBottom knob to tighten the sound and eliminate sub-bass rumble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eHi Cut button with three selectable frequencies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eBlend knob to mix in the dry bass sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003ePad switch to optimize the input for high-output active pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eOnboard memory for saving and recalling a custom setup with a touch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Power\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n500 W (4 ohms) Peak\n\n250 W (8 ohms) Peak\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Input Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nINPUT: -10 dBu (1 M ohms)\n\nRETURN IN: -10 dBu (100 k ohms)\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nMEMORY button\n\nMUTE button\n\nBOTTOM knob\n\nHI CUT button\n\nMASTER VOLUME knob\n\nPOWER switch\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nPAD button\n\nSHAPE button\n\nAMP FEEL Switch (VINTAGE, FLAT, MODERN)\n\nGAIN knob\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput EFX\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nCOMP button\n\nDRIVE button\n\nCOMP knob\n\nDRIVE knob\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eEffects\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nBLEND button\n\nFX button\n\nTAP buttom\n\nBLEND knob\n\nFX knob\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eEqualizer\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nLOW MID button\n\nHIGH MID button\n\nBASS knob\n\nLOW MID knob\n\nHIGH MID knob\n\nTREBLE knob\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine Out\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nLINE OUT button\n\nLINE OUT konb (CUSTOM, REC, BLEND, LIVE)\n\nGND LIFT switch (OFF, ON)\n\nSELECT switch (POST, PRE, DIRECT)\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCab  Resonance\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nCALIBRATION button\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndicators\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nPAD\n\nSHAPE\n\nMEMORY\n\nMUTE\n\nCOMP\n\nBLEND\n\nFX\n\nTAP\n\nLOW MID\n\nHIGH MID\n\nLINE OUT\n\nCALIBRATION\n\nHI CUT\n\nPOWER\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectors\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nINPUT jack: 1\/4-inch phone type\n\nLINE OUT jack:XLR type\n\nSPEAKER OUT (MIN 4 ohms) connector: speakON type\n\nPHONES\/REC OUT jack: Stereo 1\/4-inch phone type\n\nEXP PEDAL jack: 1\/4-inch TRS phone type\n\nGA-FC\/CTL CH1\/CH2 jack jack: 1\/4-inch TRS phone type\n\nUSB port: USB B type\n\nBLUETOOTH ADAPTOR SLOT: BluetoothⓇ Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor\n\nAC IN jack\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n500 W\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions (Include rubber feet)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n298 (W) x 212 (D) x 96 (H) mm\n\n11-3\/4 (W) x 8-3\/8 (D) x 3-13\/16 (H) inches\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n2.8 kg\n\n6 lbs 3 oz\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nOwner's Manual\n\nPower cord\n\nGA-FC sticker\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptions (sold separately)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nFootswitch: BOSS FS-5L, BOSS FS-6, BOSS FS-7\n\nExpression pedal: Roland EV-5, BOSS EV-30, BOSS FV-500L, BOSS FV-500H\n\nGA FOOT CONTROLLER (GA-FC, GA-FC EX)\n\nBluetoothⓇ Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor (Model BT-DUAL)\n\n\n\n* 0 dBu=0.775 Vrms","brand":"BOSS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50859949818144,"sku":"KTN500BHD","price":1149.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/3793\/9232\/files\/KTN500BHD-1_b73c236d-774e-4f22-9f17-937b47f80911.png?v=1762318194","url":"https:\/\/megamusiconline.com.au\/products\/ktn500bhd-boss-katana-500-bass-head-amp","provider":"Mega Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
