The Pocket-sized 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 amp 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 play 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.

Reviews

Excellent sound!
I have always been interested in pocket amplifiers, but wasn't quite sure about trying one until this one came out.

After watching some reviews upon its release, I expected it to be good. I had a chance to play around with it today with my Fender P Bass as well as several of my electric guitars. I was absolutely blown away by the quality of the sounds and effects! I was even surprised to find that I could clean up the tone with the volume knob on my guitar.

It's easy to switch between guitar and bass settings and the accompanying app adds to the adjustability.

Highly recommend this product for quiet practice, travel, and just plain fun!
sounds great; a few areas for improvement
I'm happy I bought this; it sounds great and I look forward to syncing things up with my regular (and new) Boss Katana 50. The presets are cool though more would be nice.

From a design stance:
- it spins around a little too easily in my Gretsch's jack. See photos--the natural tendency is for the thing to swivel left
- the tilt swivel lets you at least see the small lcd readout without having to tilt the guitar (see photo with readout). All would be better on a guitar with a side mounted output jack
- it doesn't take too long to learn the controls by touch, which is a necessity
- the 1/8" jack for headphones was a little bit of a surprise (guess I need to read the specs better). It works fine with a 1/4" adapter, but now it's sticking out even more than before from the guitar; just need to be careful.
- an auto-power off would be greatly appreciated--I forgot and left it running the first two times I used it, and it takes a good while to fully charge

It's a keeper though, for what it gives me--it's awesome to be able to practice next to my wife on the sofa without annoying her too much (and without having to lug around my amp). Flubs are crystal clear in my ear.
Great Silent Practice amp
This thing is very easy to use and has a variety of typical BOSS sounds to work with. Wife is super happy and doesn't even know when I'm rehearsing. Highly reccomend.
Music background: Decades Long Professional
Perfect for couch playing or quick video recording on your phone
Buy it.

Awesome to play with on the couch.
Recommend using wired headphones. I'm using some cheap ones that came with a Scarlet interface and it sounds great.

On iPhone, you can plug the device into your phone and record videos of yourself playing using the audio from the Boss Katana Go. Ever tried to quickly record a riff and hated how your amp sounded over the phone? This fixes that.

Very satisfied. I got this as a gift, but if I was to buy it myself I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Fantastic Gift for Traveling Musicians
Whatever it is your friend or husband or wife does that takes them from home, if they're looking to majorly cut down on how much crap they have to pack with them - especially if they don't have a travel practice guitar, the wee ones- this is a must. My husband loved it and uses it very frequently. Customer service as always was very polite and familial, even though I needed no support. Love the treats it comes with, and I love this company.
