BOSS Katana Air Wireless Guitar Amplifier

"Roland" spends most of his time (pretty much) right in front of me, sitting on my coffee table in the living room. As I always have a guitar within reach, it's a simple case of "plug in, press on" and away we go: No more excuses for not practising then!Personally, I like the overdriven sound. To all intents and purposes (i.e., practising) little Roland is ideal. As a Bluetooth speaker he's fine and he kicks out a volume which is quite sufficient for a living room setting (and has to be turned down at night). However, if you find your Roland is not loud enough, might I suggest that you try something similar to the following:Yesterday, I decided to connect little Roland's headphone output (3.5mm stereo jack) to the auxiliary input on one of my amps (a Hartke TX6oo bass head, delivering 4ooW RMS through 2 of 2 × 1o" 25oW Ashdown bass cabinets). Later, I also connected it to a small, basic, unbranded (2 × 1ooW) stereo PA system fed by a Behringer Xenyx o8o2 compact mixer (headphone out - as above - to a stereo line-in strip on the desk).In both cases, the results were, actually, just as I expected. Both "systems" were "flat" in terms of their EQ, etc., no FX were used, so little Roland just got loud, very loud, impressively loud.However, that's the point: Through my PA and/or a bass stack, the sound quality was pristine and most definitely good enough to rehearse with. In fact, back in the 7os, Roland and I might well have played a few gigs. All you need is an amplifier with (preferably) an auxiliary input - although it's all line level stuff really - or a standard mixing desk with PA, and you can make enough noise with the little Roland to get yourself arrested... Maybe not such a great idea after all, but you get the general idea, right?

Bought this amp after seeing several video demos. Very lightweight and all plastic so when I first unpacked I thought it may be a cheap Chinese mistake. Plugged in my tele, and wow! Really good sound when you turn your back to it and forget its small and plastic. So much better than the Blackstar Fly I tried last year. All bits seem to work well and well designed. Even came with 6 x AA batteries. Really pleased.

This is perfect for around the house it's very versatile and sounds pretty good. It's early days yet but for now I'm well pleased with it. You can't expect to much from these little amps but there a whole lot better than the mini amps of twenty years ago.

Great small practice amp to use in the living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom etc..Some small issues in the midi function disconnecting when I try to input too much data through the app via bluetooth. Have to be slow when changing tones or will 100% disconnect bluetooth (which can be frustrating to reconnect)In all I rate the overall volume, tone, and versatility of this little amp. The product is brilliant - the app however lacks functionality and practicality. Bluetooth audio function has some latency issues, but wont make a difference if you just want to stick on a track and jam or practice over.In all I wouldn't reconsider purchasing this amp, it's actually very good for its size. Little bit pricey for the tone available (I really like a sharp distortion) but is definitely worth a purchase. It's a strong buy, honestly!!

Having previously used/suffered a succession of 'toy' amps (Orange crush, mini Marshall stack, etc..) I'd been after a 'sofa amp' for ages. You know- when you want to noodle away when watching TV but don't want to bring anything bulky downstairs... So I'd decided on the Blackstar Fly or this. SO happy I chose this!Nothing wrong with the Blackstar Fly- it's a cracking little box. But the Katana mini is awesome! Once you get it dialled in properly (keep the treble below halfway) you'd swear you had a 'real' amp sitting there by the fireplace. All three channels are perfectly useable. The gain knob works very well with each, and combined with your guitars volume knob you can tailor pretty much any tone. Delay is a nice feature too, with time and level controls. (TIP - turn the time all the way down and the level up to get a half decent reverb!)Crunchy gain sounds are rewarding, as is the high gain 'Brown Sound' setting.If, like me, you are convinced your family/spouse/pets need to hear your version of that-bit-you-can-play-from-Eruption, then you have found your practice amp!

I got this for when I travel to plug my guitar into, & also to use as an Ipad speakerTo say I was disappointed when I plugged in my guitar would be an understatement - Having watched some reviews online I was expecting to be blown away by the Katana Mini, but I was left thinking why have I just wasted my money when I've got a Blackstar 20w practice amp ?It was the next morning that the Katana Mini really showed me what its aboutI was up at stupid o'clock for work, had some time to kill, so plugged in again - Great tones across the 3 channels at low volumes, very responsive controls to the slightest tweaks, nice delay but you can get a useable reverb type effect from it - You can actually talk over the amp when its at full volume (might have to raise your voice a little though)This amp isn't trying to be anything, but a practice amp with great tones at low volumesI think for the price it should come with a power cable, but the 6 included batteries were an unexpected bonus !Highly recommend the amp, & fast delivery through Prime from the seller Sound Affects

The first impression is deceiving, this is no lightweight. Used with Epiphone Les Paul, could not believe the clarity and variety of sounds available. Would heartily recommend.
