Hit Your Amp Just Right with This Clean Boost

A tool that is extremely useful to have in your rig, the Keeley Electronics Katana Boost is a clean boost pedal for your guitar. Keep it on all the time to hit your tube amp harder for enhanced harmonics, or kick it in just when you need to cut through the mix for a solo. The Katana Boost is incredibly versatile, too: a side-mounted speed knob lets you adjust the gain with your foot, and when pulled out, it gives you a whole additional palette of saturated high-gain tones. Guitarists at Sweetwater agree that the ability to hit your amps with just the right level is an important ingredient in great guitar tone. Nail it with the Keeley Katana Boost pedal.

More than just a clean boost

Beyond transparent signal boosting, the Keeley Electronics Katana Boost offers a palette of high-gain sounds when you pull out on the side-mounted speed knob. This cool feature makes the Katana Boost a great value in comparison to most clean boosts that are just, well, clean boosts. In one (foot-controllable) knob, you get an immense range of gain to caress your amp with.

Keeley Electronics Katana Boost Features:

  • Internal Power Supply Boost to double 9 volts into 18 volts for high headroom and expressive response
  • JFET design: clean tones, tubelike when they overdrive or clip
  • Foot-controllable, side-mount speed knob to control gain
  • Pull out the speed knob for saturated higher-gain tones
  • Metal film resistors and caps for ultra-low-noise performance
  • Silver-soldered, Teflon-coated wire
  • True bypass switching
  • 9-volt battery or DC adapter powered

The perfect pedal

I don't think any pedalboard would be complete without this. I love keeping a clean slightly overdriven tone with zero distortion. It gives my natural tone a super clean punch without anything extra that makes the guitar sing! I think this is the perfect "church" tone in itself. With that said as a blues player I think it bridges the gap perfectly between no effects and my Ibanez Ts9 on low gain settings. Just the opposite, add the 18volt boost to give your metal distortion pedal some extra power to scream for high gain applications. Best pedal I have and money well spent.

Clean boost and more

I've owned a katana mini before and I liked it, but there's something about the original design and size that I personally like more. Does exactly what it says it does. Beautiful clean boost and just makes your signal louder. Pull the knob and adds just enough grit to push your amp into some nice breakup. Keeley nailed it and the pink sparkle is actually very pleasing to the eye.

Killer Pedal

My interest in the katana began with my love for John Mayer's lead tone in the JM Trio, which is essentially a strat into a katana into a TS808. In my research I couldn't find anyone with anything negative to say about the katana. Everyone says it's awesome, and many reviewers say its their favorite pedal on their board. Now having bought my own, I understand why. This pedal makes everything sound better. I run it in front of my TS808 like Mayer, and it just sings. The sweetwater exclusive pink paint job is the bee's knees, looks as beautiful as it sounds. BUY ONE NOW.

The perfect boost pedal

I can't say enough about this pedal, it's yet another home run from Keeley (and sweetwater). I personally love the color, and it's even better in person.

As far as the actual function of the pedal, this thing rocks, whether you're boosting into other pedals or straight into your amp it has the perfect transparent tone. And have I mentioned it's whisper quiet?? It makes 0 noise while giving tons of boost, it's fantastic.. get one while you can.
