BOSS Ktn-Mini Katana Portable Guitar Amplifier, A Compact, Go-Anywhere Amp That Runs On Batteries - Rich, Full Sound

Product Information

Buy the Katana Mini and you won’t be disappointed. In fact, you will be really happy with it unless you’re one of these audiophile it has to be perfect kinda guy. For me it is a toy, which plays much better than I would except from the toy of that size. I am using it mainly in my house when I want to play not in the room where my standard amp is standing (i.e. in my son's room when I am putting him to sleep, this amp is perfect for this purpose).

With the dedicated time and level knobs, you can easily dial in all sorts of great delay sounds from subtle reverb-esque ambience to long, warm delay repeats. Portable Mini Amp Alkaline battery (AA, LR6) x 6 Option (sold separately) AC adaptor (PSB series) Size and Weight Width 230 mm But you can achieve an effect similar to studio reverb with this delay module – just set the “time” to low and crank “level” up to full. Does the Boss Katana Mini Take Pedals Well?Yes, reverb on its own would have been nice, but you have to be at peace with what we have here. But well, there is no dedicated reverb module, but you can get a reverb-like effect by dialing the delay knobs to certain values. It uses plastic everywhere without any fancy appointments. The only off-center addition being a couple of thin plastic strips and the “Boss” logo on the front. All you need to do is set the delay time to zero and crank the level to near-full. Technically, this is a rapid echo that goes on for a long time, but it sounds very similar to reverb.

For its price and size, the Katana Mini offers more than enough. Overall, I’m happy with the features.

BOSS 50TH ANNIVERSARY

Yes the reccomended AC adapter PSB-120 does add some interference that disappears when you touch the strings. I have tried hooking into a ground to the ground screw on the unit that I created in my shed but didn’t solve the problem. Also found this issue went away when you touch the ground screw on the rear. This is not a huge issue really, just slightly annoying…just keep your hands on the strings or metal parts on guitar. I just rest my palm on the bridge of my Stratocaster. This issue isn’t apparent when using batteries. I suggest using rechargeable batteries. Since the Katana-Mini has an extremely advanced yet compact design, you can plug in and get serious guitar tone wherever you are.
