The Katana-Mini guitar amplifier from BOSS brings full-size tone and versatility to an ultracompact format. You will appreciate its advanced analog gain circuitry, which provides satisfying distortion easily controlled by input volume and picking dynamics. The Katana-Mini offers three classic voicings: Brown delivers harmonically rich high gain ideal for heavy riffs and searing solos; Crunch provides overdrive perfect for rock rhythms and blues leads; Clean offers up crisp, punchy tones with wide dynamic range.

Advanced Analog Gain Circuitry Brings Big Tone

Unlike typical small amps with lackluster sound, the Katana-Mini produces impressively full tone that makes you want to play for hours. BOSS's design approach incorporates a custom speaker, refined circuitry and component selection to maximize sound quality in a minimum size. Decades of energy-efficient research provide surprising power and punch from just six AA batteries.

Three Classic Voicings: High Gain, Overdrive and Dynamic Clean

The Katana-Mini's all-analog input circuitry includes cascaded gain stages like a high-end amp, providing satisfying tone and feel with distortion controlled by playing dynamics. The Brown setting delivers expressive high gain rich in harmonics, perfect for heavy riffs and solos. Crunch brings overdrive ideal for rock and blues. Clean offers crisp, punchy tones with wide dynamic range.

Shape Your Tone With Traditional 3-Band EQ

Unlike limited EQs in other small amps, the Katana-Mini provides natural tone shaping with familiar bass, mid and treble controls like a full-size amp. Enhance your sound further with the onboard tape-style delay. Simple time and level knobs dial in reverb-like ambience to long, warm repeats.

Jam Anywhere, Record in Silence

The Katana-Mini sits on a tabletop or shelf at home, with a handle and battery power to grab and go anywhere. The AUX input lets you jam with your music library. The phones/recording out has special cabinet voicing for miked amp tone in private practice and recording situations.
