Take the Boss Katana Mini with you.

Boss amps might not have as many features as some other leading brands but they are some of the best sounding, easy to use. These design features have been fed through to the BOSS Katana Mini. This little amplifier now delivers top quality tones on the move. Outstanding features include a multi-stage analogue gain circuit and a three band EQ. Tape style delay adds space and dimension to your tone. The Boss Katana is the ultimate travelling electric guitar amp.

Designed to sound great.

The Blackstar Fly 3 now has some competition in the sound quality department. With the introduction of the Boss Katrana Mini this amp doesn't sound like a toy or a novelty item. BOSS have designed a custom speaker, advanced hardware, refined circuitry, and special component selection, which all work together to produce maximum sound quality in a minimum footprint. The amp also incorporates BOSS’s decades of research in energy efficient design, providing class-defying power and punch from only six AA-size batteries.

Full on rock tones.

The Boss Katana-Mini’s all-analogue input circuitry includes multiple gain stages that drive three classic sound settings, offering the same cascaded gain approach found in high-end amp designs. This is what gives the Katana Mini its satisfying tone and quick, interactive feel, with distortion that’s easily controlled with input volume and picking strength. Inspired by BOSS’s flagship Waza amp, the Boss Katana-Mini’s Brown setting delivers expressive, high-gain tones rich with harmonics, perfect for heavy riffs and soaring solos. Crunch provides overdrive that’s ideal for rock rhythms and bluesy leads, while Clean offers up crisp, sparkling tones with punchy dynamic response.

EQ and Delay.

In contrast to the limited EQs found in other small amps, the Boss Katana-Mini comes equipped with a genuine three-band analogue tone stack. This provides natural sound shaping via familiar bass, mid, and treble controls, just like the tone stack in a full-size stage amp. In addition, you can enhance your sound further with the Boss Katana-Mini’s cool tape-style delay. Using the dedicated time and level knobs, it’s simple to dial in everything from subtle reverb-like ambience to long, warm delay repeats.

Home practice or on the move.

Thanks to the Boss  Katana-Mini’s advanced-yet-compact design, you can plug into serious guitar tone any time and any place. Weighing just under three pounds, it sits easily on a tabletop or shelf at home. And with the integrated handle and battery operation, it’s easy and convenient to grab the amp and play anywhere you want, indoors or out. With the aux input, you can even plug in your smartphone and jam along with your personal music library or tracks streamed from the web. And for private practice and recording situations, you’ll want to take advantage of the phones/recording output, which features special cabinet voicing for real mic’d amp tone.
