The Pocket-size Amp That’s Ready to Go

BOSS serves up another instant classic with the Katana:Go mini guitar headphone amp! Guitarists and bassists will find a treasure trove of tone within this pocket-size headphone amp, which includes 10 amp types and over 85 effects in guitar mode and three amp types and over 65 effects in bass mode. Simply plug it into your guitar’s output, select a memory setting, connect your favorite headphones or earbuds, and you’re ready to rock. With features such as authentic stage-class Katana amp sounds, BOSS spatial technology, Bluetooth, a 5-hour battery life, and an OLED display, the Katana:Go serves up impressive amp functionality at a fraction of the size. Sweetwater guitarists have found this mini guitar amp to be a phenomenal practice tool in quiet environments. Furthermore, users can connect to the BOSS Tone Studio app for even more tools and an infinite sound library!

Sounds derived from the stellar Katana stage amp series

The Katana:Go boasts the genuine sounds of the best-selling Katana stage amp series, powering your sessions with superb sound and comprehensive effects selections. Guitar mode features 10 amp selections that can go from clean to crunch to high-gain BOSS brown-sound tone and more — there are even two amp characters optimized for acoustic-electric guitar tone. This headphone stands ready to dole out superior bass options, as well, including selections of Vintage, Modern, and Flat types directly sourced from Katana bass amps. And once you’ve found your amp of choice, it’s time to explore the vast selection of effects that await you. But if you’re hankering for more tonal options, then you can connect to the BOSS Tone Studio app and utilize wireless music streaming, sound editing, learning tools, and an infinite sound library!

Spatial audio and 30 preset sounds

The Katana:Go is more than just a headphone amp; it’s a state-of-the-art sonic tool that can open the doors to musical experimentation and tonal discovery. For instance, the Katana:Go features a unique Stage Feel section where BOSS dove into the realms of advanced spatial technology to provide players with a rich, 3D playing experience. Thanks to a range of presets, users can place the amp and backing music in different areas in the soundfield. To take it a step further, the BOSS Tone Studio app lets you personalize that soundfield to your own specifications.

The Katana:Go offers up 30 memory slots that come prefilled with ready-to-play sounds. You can tweak these sounds, create your own from scratch, or import sounds via Tone Setting memories. At the BOSS Tone Exchange, users can also download Livesets curated by the pros or share sounds with fellow BOSS users around the globe!

Comprehensive possibilities for playing and sharing

Get your computer or mobile device involved, and the Katana:Go becomes a USB audio interface ready to rock in music production. You can even record professional Katana tones in DAW software. If you want to show off your skills, then simply connect to social media and video capture apps to share the way you Katana:Go with the world. Not to mention, you can rehearse a full gig run-through with your BOSS Katana:Go’s 5-hour battery life and 3-hour charge time. Then, when you’re done using your Katana:Go, you can fold down the plug and stow it away in your pocket or gig bag. The BOSS Katana:Go is also compatible with the optional EV-1-WL or FS-1-WL wireless external foot controllers for even more ways to nail your playing experience. And don’t forget to grab the optional Katana:Go carry pouch to protect your tones anywhere you go.

The Katana GO is awesome!

Almost all the guitar patches "as is" are good, with about half the bass patches usable. That is much better than the NUX Mighty Plug that I currently own. The NUX only has 7 memory locations where the Kanatana has 30! Also, it's actually compatible with a bass, where as the NUX needed some tweaking to get an acceptable patch.

The Kantana is easy to use and I like the display and the button layout. The patches are easy to modify on the mobile ap and it sounds great not only in headphones, but also plugged straight into my JC-22.
Rated 5/5

Great bang for buck compact amp

Absolutely a fantastic piece of gear. It's simple to use and the presets are great out of the box. It's able to be modified using your smartphone to create almost any sound combo you may want.

I don't usually give 5 star reviews. This is an incredible product

Will start this review by explaining that before buying the Katana Go, I already owned many like devices, including the Nux Amp Plug, Fender Mustang Micro and Positive Grid Spark Go. For some reason I've been collecting portable amp sims and all of these really impulse buys. All of these are fun toys. Of the the Spark Go the one I use the most, but in terms of tone quality, quality of effects the BOSS Katana Go is next level... This isn't some watered down, compromised version of what you get in the latest Katana amps, it's identical. This is gig and studio ready tone. The LED display alone gives it a huge bump over similar NUX and Fender products, but the BOSS effect algorithms are so well implemented here. The out signal to headphones actually mono, just duplicated to L/R channels. There's a "stage feel" button that adds a few different degrees of stereo delay, which really brings the tone to life, but on the default mono setting it actually sounds more like an amp cab in a room to my ears and can be easier to work with as input to a DAW for recording. The presets are incredibly useful. All of them will bring a smile to your face, so good. And as if all this weren't enough, you can boot the device in "bass mode", which changes all of the presets and amp settings and the bass patches included are all just as useful and sound as good as the guitar patches. Every electric guitar player should own one of these. There are a lot of similar products, but nothing nearly as good as the Katana Go.

Katana:Go is a great headphone amp!

Practicing an electric guitar can be a problem when you can't have an amplifier with you. Thus the huge market in headphone amps -- a guitar, a headphone amp and a good pair of wired headphones or earbuds and you're all set for a day of practice. There are several things which set this Katana:Go headphone amp apart from the many others: 1) excellent tone; 2) excellent variety of built-in sounds; 3) ability to edit those and create your own sounds using the mobile Katana:Go mobile app; 4) the plug swivels around so that it can fit into almost any guitar regardless of whether the output jack is on the bottom of the lower bout or is on the front of the guitar in a straight-in or slanted construction; 5) it's rechargeable so you don't need to have extra wasteful batteries with you (you DO need to be sure to charge it occasionally!); 6) Excellent battery life - about 5 hours per full charge; 7) the ability to place your guitar sound and the backup files in various places within a "performance space" to replicate being on a real stage; 7) 30 user sound slots in addition to the built-in tones; 8) large volume control knob; 9) the USB charging port can also serve as a connection to a computer so you can use this as an audio interface to get your guitar sounds into a DAW or other recording program on teh computer.

Because the Katana:Go plug swivels the device is very tiny when the plug is swiveled over the fact of the unit it will slip in a shirt pocked or the accessories compartment of any guitar case. Use this with a wired set of ear-buds which don't take up much space and all you need to take with you to go play your electric guitar anywhere is a typical guitar gig-bag or case.

It's extremely light weight but it doesn't feel cheaply made.

It's an ideal way to get great sounds in a personal practicing enviroment.

Boss Katana:GO

This headphone amp is amazing. I use the patches from my MKII 50 on it, run into headphones or my Boss Katana Mini through the AUX port. If I'd had this first, I may not have bought the MK2. Well done Roland.
