Effect Types Headphone Amp
Katana sound to go
The Boss Katana Go Headphone Amp packs the huge array of sounds and effects from the company's Katana amplifier series into an extremely compact format. Five high-quality sounding amp types for electric guitar and three for electric bass are available as a basis and can be combined with dozens of top-notch effects and saved in up to 90 memory locations. A bright OLED display provides all the necessary information about the preset that is currently in use; however, users can obtain full access to the structures of all the amps, effects, and many other features with the BOSS Tone Studio app, which makes operation on a tablet or smartphone child's play. For an authentic live feeling, the Katana Go Headphone Amp also has the "Stage Feel Function", which simulates the feeling of playing live on a stage.
Compatible with every guitar
Thanks to its swivel-mounted jack connector, the Boss Katana Go can be connected to virtually any guitar, be it an ST-style, single cut, or semi-hollow model. And at just 65 grams, it hardly adds any weight to the instrument. The settings are controlled almost exclusively via the Tone Studio app, but a few everyday tweaks can also be carried out on the sides of the housing. These include calling up presets, adjusting the volume, activating the tuner, an LED for monitoring the battery voltage, and the switch for the Stage Feel Function. Pairing to Bluetooth devices is also managed from here; playback tracks, for example, can then be placed at different positions in the sound field for an authentic "live" feel when playing with headphones. The headphone connection is located on the top of the housing alongside the USB-C port, which is used to charge the battery and connect to the user's computer.
A compact travel companion
The Boss Katana Go Headphone Amp is sure to find favour with players who practise on a frequent basis or who prefer to jam undisturbed to backing tracks and value a high-quality sound. The numerous virtual amplifier models for guitar and bass leave little to be desired, and the quality of the Boss effects that are on board also speaks for itself. In addition to its function as a practical travel companion or for jamming when out and about, the Katana Go can also be used as a recording interface thanks to the USB-C connection. And for those who want to enjoy added luxury while also keeping their hands on the guitar while playing, Boss also offers optional footswitches and expression pedals that can communicate wirelessly with the Katana Go and handle a wide range of functions.
About Boss
The Boss brand has been an important part of the Japanese Roland Corporation since the mid-1970s and has caused a sensation from its inception, especially with its compact effect pedals but also multi-effect units and other helpful tools for guitarists. The company's single effect pedals in particular are legendary and can be found in almost every guitarist's home. An incredible 15 million have been sold to date. With its Katana series, the manufacturer now also offers excellent amplifiers at a very interesting price point.
Professional sounds, pocket size
It may look like a simple headphone amplifier on the surface, but the Boss Katana Go Headphone Amp is so much more: Whether the objective is an evening practice session in a hotel room, an outdoor jam to a few selected backing tracks, or a spontaneous recording to a computer, this diminutive black box packs the sound and versatility of the Katana amps into an incredibly small format that is suitable for a whole range of applications. And it doesn't matter whether it is hooked up to a guitar or bass, because the Katana Go offers plenty of options for both instruments, allowing players to easily create their desired sounds with the Boss Tone Studio app and recall them at the touch of a button.
