The KATANA: GO is the latest addition to the Katana family. Offering players a compact and portable piece of gear, packed full of welcome tones and sounds.
KATANA: GO – Rich Pedigree
2016 saw Boss provide players with authentic tube tones via their, now, legendary Katana series. The reliable and affordable amp series has gone from strength to strength. But will this personal headphone amp live up to the same expectations? Let’s take a closer look…
Modes and Functions
The KATANA: GO comprises 10 amp types for electric guitar players and over 60 digital effects. So, you play bass too? Well, you’ll find the same 60 effects along with 3 bass amps. Each mode has 30 memory slots, meaning you’ll have plenty of sounds ready to use.
Display and Compatibility
You’ll have noticed a clear and crisp OLED display on the front of the headphone amp. Pretty and functional, this houses your memory locations and integrated tuner. Moreover, you can use Bluetooth to connect to your smartphone. Overall, allowing you to utilise the BOSS Tone Studio app for further tone adjustment.
KATANA: GO Immersive Live Sound
With this KATANA: GO, you get what Boss is calling their Stage Feel feature. Essentially, when playing with backing tracks via YouTube, you’ll be able to place the amp in different parts of a virtual room. Obviously, the quality of your headphones will decide how immersive that experience will be.
This little Katana in your pocket boasts an impressive 5-hour runtime thanks to a rechargeable battery. Furthermore, there’s the essential 3.5mm audio jack, allowing for headphone compatibility. Geared towards jamming and practising, you’ll be able to do both anywhere.
Pricing and Availability of the KATANA: GO
Without breaking tradition, this versatile amplifier experience is reasonably priced. You can get hold of one straight away from *Thomann. I like that you get a USB-C to USB-A cable included. Which acts both as a means of charging, and connecting to external recording software.
