Now, the Katana-Mini makes serious Katana tone accessible in a small, go-anywhere amp that runs on batteries. Offering sound quality that far exceeds other amps in its class, this miniature powerhouse features an authentic multi-stage analogue gain circuit for big, expressive sound, plus a traditional analogue EQ and an onboard tape-style delay. Ultra-compact and travel-ready, the Katana-Mini delivers inspiring Katana tone anywhere you want to play. Great Katana tone in a highly portable amp Rich, full sound that far exceeds other amps in its class Authentic multi-stage analog gain circuit and three-band analog tone stack Three versatile amp types: Brown, Crunch, and Clean Built-in tape-style delay for warm ambience Aux input for jamming with music from a smartphone Phones/recording output with cabinet voicing Runs on six AA-size batteries or optional AC adapter Specially Designed for Top-Quality Sound Unlike typical small, battery-powered guitar amps that offer so-so sound quality, the Katana-Mini produces big, full tone that inspires you to plug in and play for hours at a time. BOSS’s comprehensive design approach includes 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. Inspiring Tones, Ready to Rock The 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 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. Analogue Tone Stack and Onboard Delay In contrast to the limited EQs found in other small amps, the 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 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. Jam at Home or Grab and Go Thanks to the 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. Review: It's NOT a toy - 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! Review: Superb Amp - What a fantastic practice amp. I have it’s 50watt bigger brother and in comparison where quality of build and sound is concerned they are on a par. Obviously this doesn’t have massive amounts of effects on board, but it gives lovely clean tones, great dirty tones and excellent delay, there is a switch to select clean, crunch or brown, you then alter the settings using the volume, gain, bass, middle, treble, time and level controls. All of the settings are excellent and no matter what your preferred tone is, you will find it on this amp. There is an audio input to attach a microphone or allowing you to play a jam track, drum app track or favourite song to play along with from a phone or mp3 player, this input is totally unaffected by any of the controls on the amp, even the volume which is altered using the phone/mp3 players own controls. There is an output for headphones or recording device i.e. pc, laptop, voice recorder. It is light and compact and can be carried anywhere when used on batteries, 6x AA batteries required. I haven’t changed mine yet since purchasing this amp and it’s used daily. ## Features - Unlike typical small, battery-powered guitar amps that offer so-so sound quality, the Katana-Mini produces big, full tone that inspires you to plug in and play for hours at a time - The Katana-Miniâ€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 - Great Katana tone in a highly portable amp - Authentic multi-stage analogue gain circuit and three-band analogue tone stack - Aux input for jamming with music from a smartphone - Built-in tape-style delay for warm ambience - Runs on six AA-size batteries or optional AC adapter ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B072XKP8TH | | Amplifier Type | Solid State | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,342 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 46 in Guitar Combo Amps | | Box Contents | / | | Brand Name | BOSS | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Guitar | | Connector Type | 3.5mm Jack | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,552) | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00761294511299, 04957054511296 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 27.3D x 23.7W x 17.4H centimetres | | Item Type Name | BOSS KTN-MINI Katana Portable Guitar Amplifier | | Item Weight | 1.5 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Roland | | Manufacturer Part Number | KTN-MINI | | Model Name | Katana-Mini | | Model Number | KTN-MINI | | Output Channel Quantity | 1 | | Output Wattage | 7 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Speaker Size | 4 Inches | | UPC | 761294511299 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BOSS - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Guitar - **Material:** Plastic - **Output wattage:** 7 ## Images ![BOSS Ktn-Mini Katana Portable Guitar Amplifier, A Compact, Go-Anywhere Amp That Runs On Batteries - Rich, Full Sound - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91bwjO4OHdL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: can it be use with an acoustic guitar?** A: Hi, the Katana Mini can be used with a electro acoustic or a acoustic guitar with a external pickup connected. We would recommend using one the larger BOSS Katana amps such as Katana 50 or one of the amps for the BOSS Acoustic Singer range for using an acoustic guitar. **Q: Will this work ok with an electric drum kit?** A: I doubt it. The kick drum will distort. **Q: Can you use it for busking?** A: In theory, yes, as you can run it on 6xAA batteries. However, you are limited to only a single input so it's not going to work if you want to amplify guitar and use a mic for vocals. I play fingerstyle Jazz so it's not a problem. The output is decent and you can easily get it loud enough to upset the neighbours but I'm running mine with the Gain on 40% and volume on 50% so I have my doubts that it would be a good outdoor or long-term solution. I bought this to replace a dead Roland Mobile Cube (which works for small/ intimate chamber gigs) and it makes a great practice amp but for anything live I think you'll run into its limitations fairly quickly. **Q: is there a suitable carry case bag to go with this?** A: Boss do a carry case for their katana 100 head which is a similar size. I know of at least 1 company making flight cases for the katana air specifically. Its worth checking the product lines from companies like Gator as someone will have a product that fits the bill. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's NOT a toy *by S***N on 24 April 2022* Having previously used/suffered a succession of 'toy' amps (Orange crush, mini Marshall stack, etc..)
