With a multi-stage analog gain circuit and three selectable voicings, the BOSS Katana Mini combo amplifier delivers big tone in a compact, portable package. The Brown voicing delivers iconic high-gain tone — perfect for metal leads. Crunch offers overdriven rhythm tones, while Clean provides sparkling tone with a wide dynamic range that is perfect for use with your pedals. Factor in battery power and a convenient handle, and the BOSS Katana Mini combo amp is your ideal portable practice partner.
The BOSS Katana Mini is ready for silent practice and direct recording, thanks to its speaker-emulated output. Plug in headphones and jam without disturbing your neighbors, or connect directly to a recording device to capture your tone.
Guitarists at Music Experience are impressed with the big sound of the Katana Mini despite its small size, and it offers impressive control over your tone. A 3-band EQ allows you to shape your sound with bass, middle, and treble controls. And a built-in delay effects section is perfect for adding a sense of space to lead tones.
The BOSS Katana Mini weighs less than three pounds and can be powered with six AA batteries for up to seven hours of operation. You can also use an optional AC adapter (not included). Its compact size, robust carry handle, and battery operation make it the ideal go-anywhere amplifier for your electric guitar.
BOSS Katana amps have received accolades from guitarists everywhere for their fantastic sound and feel, onboard effects, and great value. 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 analog gain circuit for big, expressive sound, plus a traditional analog EQ and an onboard tape-style delay. Ultra-compact and travel-ready, the Katana-Mini delivers inspiring Katana tone anywhere you want to play.
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.
The Katana-Mini’s all-analog 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.
In contrast to the limited EQs found in other small amps, the Katana-Mini comes equipped with a genuine three-band analog 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.
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
