Practice and Perform Anywhere

Around the house or on the go, the BOSS Katana-Mini X is always ready to dish out inspiring tones thanks to its premium Katana amp voices, pint-size form factor, and comprehensive feature set. This 10-watt amplifier features a robust wooden enclosure and a custom 5-inch speaker — a combination that provides a seriously deep and punchy response for this amp’s small stature. Six captivating Katana amp voices and a collection of BOSS effects give you the power to take on any style or genre in the book, and you also get a 3-band EQ to twist and tweak to your heart’s content. Inspiration can strike anywhere, and the Katana-Mini X’s rechargeable battery, Bluetooth audio streaming, built-in tuner, and speaker-emulated headphone/recording output stand at the ready to encourage your creativity and elevate your woodshedding sessions. Compact, portable, and brimming with searing Katana tones, the BOSS Katana-Mini X is the perfect practice partner for guitarists of all skill levels and backgrounds.

Six amplifier voices powered by BOSS Tube Logic

Plugging into the BOSS Katana-Mini X places six versatile sounds at your command: three core amp voicings and three voice variations. These tremendous tones draw from the Katana-Mini X’s multi-stage analog gain circuit to deliver full-bodied sounds that can tackle any sonic application.

Brown: First up, the Katana-Mini X’s Brown voice supplies an iconic high-gain voice with thick, liquid saturation. Activate this voice’s variation to achieve a tone with tighter lows and enhanced high-end definition.

Crunch: A tad tamer than Brown, Crunch represents a more medium-gain flavor that excels with expressive and dynamic lead playing, punchy rhythms, and everything in between. This setting’s variation injects an aggressive treble edge into your tone, striking a perfect balance between smooth and cutting.

Clean: This voice offers a warm and dynamic clean foundation, with the ability to venture into light overdrive with a twist of the Gain knob. This setting features a fully flat response, which Sweetwater musicians found to be perfect for use with acoustic-electric guitars and electric bass guitars.

10 classic BOSS effects

In addition to its 6-pack of amplifier voicings, the Katana-Mini X boasts a superior set of sound-sculpting tools, from powerful equalization to a plethora of classic BOSS effects. A traditional analog tone stack ensures a familiar and responsive feel from the 3-band EQ. Next, the Katana-Mini X’s effects are divided into two straightforward categories: Mod/FX and Rev/Dly. The first knob, Mod/FX, unlocks everything from classic BOSS chorus to phase, trem, octave, and beyond. Best of all, these effects can be utilized simultaneously with the Katana-Mini X’s Rev/Dly knob, which gives you a captivating collection of reverbs and delays to add space to your sound.

The perfect musical partner

This amplifier’s custom 5-inch speaker and robust wood cabinet empower your signal with a thumping low end that belies this amp’s compact construction. Do you love to jam along with your favorite tunes or solo over backing tracks? Built-in Bluetooth makes it a breeze to stream music through your mobile device. You also get an onboard tuner to ensure you’re always pitch-perfect. Lastly, the Katana-Mini X’s rechargeable battery performs for up to 10 hours per charge, making this amp an ideal option for street performances, practicing on the porch, or any other cord-free application.

BOSS Katana-Mini X Features:

  • The ideal portable amplifier, packed with cutting Katana tones
  • 10W power rating, 5-in. custom speaker, and wooden cab provide a rich and full-range voice
  • 6 amplifier voicings fueled by BOSS’s multi-stage analog gain circuit and Tube Logic technology to ensure impeccable sonic authenticity

  • 2 independent effects knobs with 10 classic BOSS effects; effect sections can be activated independently or simultaneously
  • Built-in tuner to keep you pitch-perfect
  • Bluetooth functionality allows you to stream audio from your mobile device
  • Rechargeable battery grants up to 10 hrs. of uptime; USB-C to USB-A charging cable included
  • Ultra-compact design with handle is perfect for jamming on the go, street performances, desk practice, and more
  • Speaker-emulated headphone output for headphone practice and recording
What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Excellent Customer Service
Matt is knowledgeable, helpful and always gets things done. I have purchased several products from Sweetwater and he always follows up with a helpful and informative call. He is honest if there is a problem with shipping and such so you know exactly what to expect. He is a pleasure to work with.

Wow and Woah!!!
I've been using BOSS Katanas for years now and BOSS products since the early 80's. I needed a battery powered travel amp for my boat, and saw the Mini X @ Sweetwater. Since i've been using the Katana 2-12 100 watt amp for live gigs, I knew this tried and true brand would not disappoint, and they DID NOT! I have a bullet list of positives-
-internal battery powered chargeable with usb
-3 main sounds, all that I would want
-3 band eq!!! come on....how cool is that?
-all the amazing modulation and verb/delay effects.....come on!!!
-silent tuner
-headphone/record out on the front
-and it's bluetooth for music
The tones in many battery amps are questionable, but this Mini X covers them all and sounds amazing! Light, great carrying handle, internal battery make this a must have if you want those features. And one more thing....THE PRICE!!!! How do they do it? Thank you BOSS for products that always totally exceed my expectations. A rare trait in companies anymore. 10+++

Great Amp!
Impressive sound. Plenty of settings which eliminates the need for most pedals. Perfect practicing or playing for a few friends. Nice to not have to plug in to wall power. Serves as my new favorite Bluetooth speaker when working in the shop or garage. Extremely portable. As always Sweetwater and Jed Elliott, my Sales Engineer deliver on great service.
Little Powerhouse
Watched a lot of videos about this little amp before I got it. I had the Katana Mini, which I liked, but decided to sell it and get this. This really is an upgrade over the Mini. It gets quite loud, you have the variation of the clean, crunch and brown channels. Being able to run an effect like chorus, along with reverb and delay really gives it a full sound. The headphone out is in stereo which is nice. The rechargeable battery lasts a long time, and it's nice to be able to stream music via Bluetooth to play along with. I find myself playing this more than my Katana 50 MKII.
A great little amp!
He LOVES it! My husband got this for his birthday, and LOVES it. It has everything he needs in a "home practice" amp, sounds fine, is super portable and controls are easy to see and use (not always the case, esp. with smaller units.) As always, we SO appreciate Brad Irvan; knowing we can contact him with questions, opinions, etc. makes it that much easier to feel good about buying some new equipment online. Thanks, Brad and Sweetwater!
