Playability without compromise

The Katana Go delivers high-quality sound anywhere, anytime - without external amplifiers, pedals or computer interfaces. Just switch it on, plug in in-ears or headphones, call up a preset and you're good to go. On the unit itself you can adjust the volume, select memory slots and operate basic functions. The integrated display also shows the current preset and the tuner. The rechargeable battery lets you play for up to five hours straight. The built-in 6.3 mm jack folds away, so you can slip the Katana Go into any bag and take it everywhere.

Authentic Katana sound

With the Boss Katana Go you can liven up your sessions with the original sounds of the famous Katana stage amplifiers. The guitar mode offers ten distinct amp types, including Clean, Crunch, the Boss High-Gain Brown, two models for electro-acoustic guitars and more. The bass mode includes the types Vintage, Modern and Flat, taken directly from the Katana bass amplifiers. Both modes include a vast collection of Boss effects that can be fully customised in the Boss Tone Studio app for iOS and Android.

Top-tier live sound with the Stage Feel function

The innovative Stage Feel function of the Katana Go delivers an immersive playing experience based on the advanced Boss Spatial Audio technology. Using presets you can place the amp and the backing at different positions within the sound field. This creates the impression of playing with a backline on stage or jamming with friends in a room. With the intuitive tools in Boss Tone Studio you can even tailor the spatial layout to suit your personal preferences.

Versatile mini amp for a wide range of uses

The Boss Katana Go is versatile and also works as a USB audio interface for music production and creating online content on a computer or a mobile device. Record professional Katana sounds into your DAW or connect to your favourite social media and video apps to share your fretboard skills with the world. In both apps the Stage Feel function is available to give your instrument and the backing track streamed over Bluetooth audio more space and depth.

With the optional EV-1-WL Wireless MIDI Expression Pedal and the FS-1-WL Wireless Pedal you can wirelessly control the functions you previously assigned in Boss Tone Studio. Expand your Katana Go experience and control volume and wah, switch between patches, engage effects and more - all wirelessly. You can find more information on the product pages for the EV-1-WL and the FS-1-WL.
