            The Boss Katana just sounds better and can achieve a more aggressive, modern tone, while also providing a lot more features (more effects, multiple wattage settings, more EQ variety) than the Champion 40. In a direct comparison, buy the Katana.May 4, 2022

            In a direct comparison the Boss Katana 50 dramatically outperforms the Fender Champion 40, both in the tone and feature department. While it's slightly more expensive, we're perfectly happy paying the added cost to get a far nicer amplifier.
