Boss Katana Mini - 7-Watt Combo Amp Ultra-Compact and Travel-Ready

I had been looking at various battery powered amps for a while trying to decide which to get. Since I already have two full size BOSS Katana amps I almost went a different direction but now I'm glad I went with the Katana Mini. For starters it's super lightweight. It's perfect if you want to practice around the house but also to grab and go for singalongs while camping or at BBQs or family gatherings etc. It's also the perfect amp to keep on your bench if you work on guitars like I do. The sound quality lives up to the BOSS Katana name. You get a choice of 3 different amp types for everything from pristine cleans to heavy distortion. While the amp has built in delay with level and time controls I would have preferred Reverb with a couple of different options for type. But that's just me, and the delay the amp provides is excellent. Battery life seems to rip out around 7 hours give or take. I would suggest you get rechargeable batteries and if you use rechargeables rated at 2500 or greater mAh you will get closer to 9 hours on a single charge. Some people have complained that they can hear a low hum or buzz when running on battery. I have not had this experience but YMMV. There is also an input for use with an AC adapter. This, in my personal experience is where some problems come in with noise. Using a third party adapter that was recommended with this amp caused a serious amount of hum both with and without batteries installed. Buying the BOSS PSB-120 at $30 improved things, but there is still some noticable hum even with a guitar with humbucking pickups. That small issue aside, it is a very lightweight grab and go amp with great sound and lots of possible uses. Pro tip: I also have the BOSS Katana GO. I bought a 3.5mm TRS male to 1/4 in. TS male adapter cable here on Amazon and plugged the output of the Katana GO into the input of the Katana Mini. Now I have a full powered Katana amp with all the effects and sound editing possibilities that I can throw in a backpack and take with me anywhere!!!

Bets amp IVE used. Multiple option for gain type. And wall or battery power. Packs a punch, despite its size being about 2 or 3 inches tall. Gain is amazing. Best amp every with electric. Very durable and give you the best without breaking the bank. Sounds very clear with little distortion, despite the gain, and looks sleek in any environment. Easy controls, durable, good value for the price, looks good, sounds good, and is the best

Boss can thank Ola Englund for why I purchased this great sounding little amp. Ola Englund is a guitar player and works for a guitar manufacturer in Europe. He has his own YouTube channel with a series called "Will It Chug". Ola did a nice video on this product, and Ola is the reason why I decided on getting this little amp. I'm not trying to plug Ola. This is a material fact statement, I bought this product because of Ola. This little solid state amp sounds great for it's size. it's so loud, I never cranked it up. The built in distortion is OK, but it sounds great with my BOSS Metal Zone pedal. I love the digital delay sound on it. The amp does have a slight tinny sound to it, but it still chugs. Only it doesn't chug with the beefiness in Ola's video because he has expensive recording microphones recording the sound. However, with the proper settings, and additional distortion pedal support, it's a great little portable practice amp. It sounds great with my Boss Metal Zone distortion pedal. It's great that you can put batteries in it. But I don't like using batteries because when they start to go bad, they usually slowly negatively impact your sound without you realizing it. I bought the extra power supply cable and love it. (Boss PSA-120S Power Adapter) I make home recordings with a Zoom hand held, open room recording device, with this amp, and the recordings come out great. If you're looking for a great sounding, inexpensive practice amp to travel with, or practice with at home, I highly recommend this little guy. I've been using it regularly for the past 6 months and am a satisfied customer. Thank you BOSS for this fine product, and thank you Ola for helping me decide on this!! Cheers!!

Arriva un piccolo cartone.8 batterie incluse. Amp leggerissimo, aspetto solido e professionale. Non mi aspetto molto: invece la sorpresa: oltre ogni aspettativa, suono pulito e per avere 1 Watt incredibilmente forte, senza mai distorgere. É piccolo, bello, efficace! Consiglio ad ognuno!!

Amazing battery life

Utmärkt tränings-förstärkare. Mycket fint rent ljud men bra overdrive om det är det du är ute efter. Plus för inbyggt eko.

This little dude is like: "look, my big brothers are fantastic, and I want to bring no shame on them". I am keeping it on my desk. Small enough to fit in the corner. Loud. Accurate. Katana technology in mini format. You don't have effect loop, you don't have external speaker output. Obviously. But you have great sounding (also battery powered) mini guitar combo for your "I have the mood to play in the garden" moments. And any other moments, when you need small, but seriously sounding practice amp. Three channels: Clean, Crunch and Brown. Build in delay. Headphone output and Aux-in, so you may connect your any source of backing track music and play. Even at night. At hotel. Before your gig. Yes, 12-inch Celestion speaker in Marshall or something like that combo will sound a bit better. But it cost 5, 10 or 15 times more, it's big and weights 20 times more. And you cannot pack 12 inch speaker equipped combo in your backpack and go for a picnic (food shall fit in this backpack also). But Boss Katana Mini you can :-) Beside the great sound Boss Katana Mini build quality is also very good. Doesn't feel like cheap toy. So, if you need tiny warming up combo, or tiny practicing combo for home or night bedroom situation - go for it. You won't be disappointed.
