BOSS Ktn-Mini Katana Portable Guitar Amplifier, A Compact, Go-Anywhere Amp That Runs On Batteries - Rich, Full Sound

Product Information

The Boss Katana Mini only has a single effect – Delay, and it has two controls for the effect: Time and Level. For its price and size, the Katana Mini offers more than enough. Overall, I’m happy with the features.

Yes, reverb on its own would have been nice, but you have to be at peace with what we have here. But well, there is no dedicated reverb module, but you can get a reverb-like effect by dialing the delay knobs to certain values. Usability is one thing I really like about this amp. It’s simple and enables you to easily tap into every feature of the amp. If you were sad before that you can't take your electric guitar with you to camping and play Master of Puppets to other campers this is solution for you :)

BOSS Katana amps have received accolades from guitarists everywhere for their fantastic sound and feel, onboard effects, and great value. Now, the Katana-Mini makes serious Katana tone accessible in a small, go-anywhere amp that runs on batteries. Offering sound quality that far exceeds other amps in its class, this miniature powerhouse features an authentic multi-stage analog gain circuit for big, expressive sound, plus a traditional analog EQ and an onboard tape-style delay. Ultra-compact and travel-ready, the Katana-Mini delivers inspiring Katana tone anywhere you want to play.

Well, I believe Boss knew that as well. This is not the amp you want to drop or leave it lying on the stage at your next gig. But you can achieve an effect similar to studio reverb with this delay module – just set the “time” to low and crank “level” up to full. Does the Boss Katana Mini Take Pedals Well? It gives 7w of power througha 4" speaker however that speaker has been optimised for the guitar so that you avoid thin, tinny guitar sounds. 3-Channels & Delay All you need to do is set the delay time to zero and crank the level to near-full. Technically, this is a rapid echo that goes on for a long time, but it sounds very similar to reverb.With the dedicated time and level knobs, you can easily dial in all sorts of great delay sounds from subtle reverb-esque ambience to long, warm delay repeats.

Not only have Boss created a little amp that sounds great in the room but it also has a cabinet simulated output which means you can plug it directly into a recording interface and get great recording tones. The Cab Sim emulation is voiced with a bigger sounding cabinet so it'll sound huge when plugged in! SpecificationsOn the other hand, if you need to boost the already overdriven sound coming out of it and take it to the modern metal territory, then pedals will definitely help. How Long Do Batteries Last in Boss Katana Mini?

While other small, battery-power amps often severely compromise on their sound quality in favour of size, the Katana-Mini has been designed to produce big, full tone that will have plugging in and playing every chance you get. THE CLEAN CHANNEL and all the channels are excellent in my books! I don’t know what kind of a guitar the reviewers were using but my Fender Player Plus Stratocaster rings like a bell through this thing in all the channels. Try dialing it in a little better there boys lol. I mean once again, stop comparing this to bigger more powerful amps…for that matter, stop comparing it to anything else because you can’t compare…it is what it is and accept that and use that sound to your advantage not disadvantage…that’s just Bull. A DC power adapter input. Only problem being that the DC adapter is sold separately, as you’ll be regularly draining batteries. Inspired by BOSS’s flagship Waza amp, the Katana-Mini has a Brown setting that delivers amazingly expressive, high-gain tones that are rich with harmonics making them ideal for heavy riffs and face-melting solos. Absolutely not! It’s what you can expect at this price. Besides that, the handle is large and firm enough. There is a minor con with this handle, which I’ll talk about in the “Portability” section.

BOSS KATANA BASS Amp Series

Expected battery life under continuous use: Alkaline battery: Approximately 7 hours, Rechargeable Ni-MH battery: Approximately 9 hours (When using batteries having a capacity of 2500 mAh.) * This can vary depending on the capacity of the batteries and the conditions of use. The addition of a basic delay is what makes this amp is nifty to practice with. It gives your tone a little bit more space and makes it that much more pleasing to the ear - especially when you're practicing those Van Halen runs on the Brown channel. From Home To Hotel
