Thanks Team Thomann! 🎉
any rumors on the Katana MK3, I'm planning to buy soon :)
Can you guys please make plugin versions of your pedals I need a ceb-3 bass chorus effect
If anybody wants to be in with a chance of winning a Boss Katana Go then watch my review here First Look REVIEW of the Ultimate portable Guitar amp? Boss nailed it!
ruclips.net/video/tZR-sIR13fY/видео.html
This is exactly what i am looking for. I had the boss 50 in my eyes for a while, but i knew i would be plugging the headphones in all the time. This is bang on what i was waiting for!
Cool just ordered one
Thanks for the demo guys. Seems like a cool gadget to have for noodling on the couch or anywhere for that matter. I noticed there are quite a few of these devices out now but maybe this is the best one yet? Just hope the battery lasts long enough to make it worth the purchase.
Cheers
For the love of God, that custom stage feel is so good 😂 You guys made the Go sound great indeed, much better than some other units out there! Wish there was something similar when I started. Definitely gonna give it a try. Thanks Kris and Guillaume!
Super coo little thing!
Now I'm waiting for the Katana Floor 😂
The outro sound was stunning...! I wasn't really much convinced by the Fender Mustang plug-amp, but this one... wow ! As to the price, it is the equivalent to 10 high-grade string sets so stop complaining about obsolescence. Just play it and have fun ! Well done Boss, the app and the options are breathtaking...
The fender mini does the fender thing great
I know using an app for tones is less convenient sometimes, but for me that's the kind of thing that really sets the fender back a lot. Even cheaper headphone amps have app control, and it gives you so much more control over your sound instead of just general "tone" knobs/buttons. It's just super helpful to be able to adjust highs, mids, and lows independently. ESPECIALLY for something like a headphone amp where it's going to be coming through different sound sources. Different headphones, speakers etc which are all going to sound different and likely need adjustments. As opposed to like a combo amp which is usually just coming through the built in speaker no matter where you travel with it.
It sounds like ass dude. Its a comprimise. Cool riff though.
I adore this red Solar guitar.
We do too. In this case you might wanna join in the livestream today at 4pm CET. Just sayin' 😜 //Kris
This is really cool, especially for starters with limited room space and budget, I guess. Wish I had this, when I started playing guitar.
Also thank you K&G for always putting up a good show. Much love! ✌️
Thanks so much buddy! 🙌 If I was travelling a lot, I'd be super happy with a guitar and this through headphones. We were both really impressed by the tone. //Kris
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses
Can you tell me how to find that "Ambient Clean tone patch"? What is it's number? Its so cool and nice, pure magic!
Decided to go for the Katana instead of the Nux, as the studio effect on the Katana sold me. I am willing to pay the extra money for the Katana Go.
Just read on FB that the Hungarian guitarist, Gabesz Sántha took part in creating the built-in guitar sounds. FYI Kris! 🙂
Love my fender mustang micro. I used it 99% of the time when playing at home. Going strong after a year and a half. This looks great so I ordered one.
Genuine question. Why ordering this one when you already have the Fender? Is it just the different tones? Thanks for your help!
@@rcdmrl I have the Micro and love it, but this blows it out of the water as far as ease of use through the phone app. Plus I play bass and this actually has bass tones and effects rather than just running the clean/studio setting on the Micro. I plan to get the Katana Go and sell off my Micro.
Thank you!! The presets are interchangeable btw/ the Go and the Katana Amps Heads?
The extentions are the same
.tsl
Good review, better if it were made with both cheaper and expensive guitars that should represent the users.
Like everything Katana, sounds great! I have a Kat head, a GX100 and WAZA headphones so probably don't need this, but won't let that stop me from buying it! 🙂
Very good sound from the Katana (natural Drive is great). I've been searching for this kind of tools to practice during trips : the one from Fender is good but not "tweekable", I didn't like the sound from the Nux, I ended with the Spark go that I really like as phone amp (and smart band option) ... but it lacks the room option from the boss ... one of the most important thing when you are playing with headphones ! Iwill go to my local store to compare the 2 side by side. Cheers !
It is very similar to nux mighty plug pro. A comparison video would be great!!
This! I have the original Mighty Plug and would like to decide whether buying this would be a definite step up or just a bit sideways?
I note that this does not have a drum machine or metronome which my Plug has
yeah, it seems Katana Go couldn't load custom IR
I use mainly the mustang and the brain may amplug and i love them, the katana is i think comparable with the nux..as also editable with the app, the only thing what i would miss is some drum presets as built-in in the amplug to have the "eierlegende Wollmilchsau"😂 (full-package) thx for the great review🤘
I love this idea, but I absolutely hate the built-in jack. Besides the fragility it introduces (one wrong move and the whole thing is useless), I'm sure it makes it much harder to tweak the settings while plugged in (must use app). Also, imagine how long the USB cable has to be to use it as an interface. I guess a male-to-female cable would be a workaround for those issues, but that's my point. If I'm going to have to use a cable, why not just make it a plug?
Hi Chris, the Ambient Clean preset (4:29) is in Katana tones ? Where can I find it ? Thanks !
You could gig with this with the Wireless Footswitch! The MIDI control is super flexible!
That I was wondering about. You recon you can go into aux or headphone input on a clean speaker?
Love it! Can you play two amp models at the same time for a more powerful sound?
I saw in another channel that you could do that. If you connect it with another amplifier, I don't remember in which channel I saw the video explained.
I have the fender one. I feel like the newer ones have way more features.
Can "picth shifter" effect in this katana capable of dropping guitar tuning such as from E standard to C standard for playing Metal sir? Please answer🙏
If you connect to a Daw can you only record the units presets or can it be used as a DI by selecting a preset. Or bypassing effects?
Using as an audio interface, will it capture voice over using TRRD headset? Say like of you are live streaming or havong online lesson?
Thanks for the Video.
What is the difference to the Pocket GT?
Can you record directly to the iPhone?
Yes, you can.
I think evolution is eventually going to offer this technology mounted in the pickguard or body , with access patch change tap buttons, easily available.
Can you easily mix auxiliary music into it for jamming (without needing to upload URLs) ?
Hi ! I have ordered one from my local music store . What would be the specs of the headphones required ? Do you have any suggestions for headphone brand I should purchase ? Thanks
Thank you for the review and let me ask you .. If I bypass everything in guitar chain in Katana Go and send dry guitar tone to DAW for processing there (amp sim + FX) will I hear in headphones only the processed signal from DAW or also the dry signal going thru the Katana Go to DAW?
Question to touring guitarists. Any chance for it to replace all the gear and just play in line?
Can it be used with other bluetooth foot controllers (eg. M-VAVE Chocolate, Airstep, Airturn, ...) than the roland one?
Just bought from Thomann. Nice product but is it right that if I'm using a youtube backing track the master volume on the katana rise or decrease also youtube volume? Hope they're gonna fix it with an update. Some videos' audio are really bad and if you can't lower the guitar volume whitout decreasing the video's audio is a huge problem.
So excited for this! Does can anyone confirm if it works with the Airstep Katana so I can switch presets/effects?
Working on finding out, I think they must do an update xsonic
Does anyone know if you can use Bluetooth headphones with this?
How do you use it via usb in your DAW? When I connect mine with my laptop, and I go in preferences in Reason, I can select the Katana go as audio interface but after that, when I choose the input for an audio track, nothing appears. On the boss support page there is no audio driver for katana go. Only for al the other Katana products.
Kris
Which solar guitar is that
It’s bloody awesome !
Thanks guys , I ordered one 😂😂😂😂👍👍🙏
Hey Paul, it's an S1.6 FR FBR and it's awesome. We might be seeing it a little more in the next couple of days. 😜 //Kris
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses I might have to save some money and get one
It sounds epic!!
Nice demo - does anyone know whether you can use the Boss Katana Go with bluetooth headphones also? Or is the bluetooth functionality only for connecting the device to the mobile phone?
in general, you can never use bluetooth headphones for playing music. The signal would be affected by a significant delay from the moment you play a note and the moment you'll hear it.
You can use bluetooth for audio streaming from your phone (eg. backing tracks) instead. In this case no matter if the audio will start out of sync from the time you press the play button and the time you start to listening to it.
Can you get to the sneaky amps with this?
god damn I ordered one. my office noodles have never been so epic. i already have one of the older vox pluggy thingy ones for the office. but this? this is …. my 2024 is saved.
All hail the office jams!!! 🙌 It's crazy what they can squeeze into such a small box, isn't it? Proper good guitar tones and all. Kudos! //Kris
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses It arrived and wow man this thing is a keeper. All the Katana tones controllable via app in this tiny box. Just wow! The stage feature is great. Love the custom setting in default. Dialed in my crunch tone and I'v been playing for an houre. Then I realized "oh, I'm not even plugged into my QC, I'm still playing the Katana go".
The footswitch being proprietary is a pain. A shame you can’t just use any midi foot controller.
How does is sound with headphones. Does it sound like a toy? Should I go to Waza air if I want sound that feels real on a headphones?
Powered fr cab work?
Hi. Can you use the Katana GO with wireless headphones?
No, Bluetooth would introduce too much latency. The boss waza air is a fully wireless alternative.
Mini plug change The World .....
Great product but why no stereo option ? Headphones are stereo by nature , why no lush chorus’s or head swirling delays , I get the stage mode is a way towards it but , maybe offer the option to switch to having the fx in stereo might sway some buyers , me included . Great demo 😊👍
Can you plug an acoustic into it?
Is this better than Fender Mustang, with the app might edge it plus Screen
It seems way better to me
👍👍
take my money now!
This will free people from being trapped in front of their computer.
I wonder if I would have bought the BOSS IR-200 if I had the Katana:GO
it will come in the iPhone next 😊
Unlikely... But GarageBand is free and has some amps and pedals models already.
What cable are you using to go from the unit to the DI?
Hi, it's a TRS mini jack cable. We were using the headphones out of the Katana:GO. Cheers //Kris
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses Thank you for sharing that with us. Fun video much appreciated.
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses Was it connected to a mono input in the DI box?
Why is it listed as 129 euros but when you put it in your shopping basket the price goes up to 139 euros??? I have tried this on android and ios with the same results. Anyone else have this problem/noticed this ?
Thomann has shipping costs, it depends on your location.
Sold out ㅠㅠ
how bout acoustic amp for acoustic guitar sounds be like?
Can the headphone output go directly into a mixing table / PA ?
Probably
That's exactly what we did here. We went from the headphones jack with a mini jack cable to a DI box then into a mixer. So yeah, it works. :) //Kris
Exactly what I was hoping for.. I want to gig with this thing simply because I don't want to carry anything other than my guitar gig bag from my car to the stage. Great job with the demo!!
@@ThomannsGuitarsBassespls which di box did you use?
Does it connect to BT headphones?
in general, you can never use bluetooth headphones for playing music. The signal would be affected by a significant delay from the moment you play a note and the moment you'll hear it.
You can use bluetooth for audio streaming from your phone (eg. backing tracks) instead. In this case no matter if the audio will start out of sync from the time you press the play button and the time you start to listening to it.
"we will celebrate ... in a way", says Kris, waving a Solar shred machine.
_Searches internet for weight range of a Solar..._ 😂
Haha, nice to see that someone pays attention. 😆 Soon my friend, soon. Cheers //Kris
Good to know the $500 I spent on the Katana can put in the size of half a deck of cards. Oh, where's the app for my Katana?
Can i link katana go with katana wireless reciver?
I'm not sure but I don't think so. One question though, why would you want to do that? //Kris
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses becasue it can be a very good back ump amp: link the boss wl20 t in the mixer and play. Using my smartphon as pedalboard
Unfortunately it can't be used together with the Spotify app. Only your Phone s internal music library.
The Fender Mustang does that with no problems..
Unfortunately the Fender sounds like crap.
Der Kaiser hätte gesagt...Jo iss denn scho weihnacht'n 😂
😆 Deine Kommentare sind einfach jedes mal 🙌🔥 Ciao //Kris
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses 🚀😄
Pocket GT is still the GOAT, no need for me to change it for my late night practice sessions
Correction: Internal, rechargeable batteries are NOT saving the planet. Unless they are easily user replaceable, internal rechargeable battery devices, all of them, will after a few years stop charging, rendering the devices useless and just more landfill.
OG wired headphones and IEMs are the perfect example of this - they will literally continue to theoretically function forever since there are no internal batteries that need to be replaced. Many people have favorite wired cans and IEMs they're still using decades after the original purchase date.
Know of anyone who has replaced their airpod batteries, themselves? No. The vast majority of people just throw out the old ones and get new ones.
Sorry to mini rant, but those are objective facts I've stated.
I personally still use and own plenty of non user replaceable battery devices, so I'm a bit of a hypocrite. However, I do KNOW I am being hypocritical....
I understand your concern and it's an important "big picture" subject. Even though cell phone batteries are not easy the change, it's absolutely doable. You can find places that specialise in doing just that, even many years after that product was made. Same goes for something like this product. It's not meant to be fiddled with in your own garage but since the batteries used in most of these units are easy to find as a replacement, I'm sure a technician can swap it for you in a few minutes when the time comes. Cheers //Kris
Fair enough Kris, and thanks for the reply, But be honest - how many typical consumers of these kinds of products will go to that trouble? Maybe easy for a tech like yourself, but you're maybe 20 out of 1000. Not looking to slam you guys - love you. But just pointing out a simple fact - non-user replaceable rechargeable batteries are part of the problem, not the solution. And can also be part of engineered obsolescence. Cheers!@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses
@@joesatchton212 You're entirely right.
Totally agree!
Hence, I’m super happy with my Boss BR 80 powered by good old batteries. It has also an in-built multi-track recorder, in-built mic etc.
There are also other battery powered amp devices like VOX Adio Air or Blackstar Fly or Zoom G3/B3.
Yeah. Boss can do user rechargeable battery devices - I totally love my little GT-1. She ain't the fanciest, she ain't got all the latest features, but man can she sound great and she can run on 4 AA batteries, rechargeable or alkaline. @@Phoboss32
Seems a lot of money for what it is
NUX Mighty Amp 3 does much more and sounds better for less price!
Its the same price
PRS sounds weak….
Not replaceable battery is a big no no. Once the battery dies you can throw it in the trash. I still have a 10yr old vox amplug in a drawer somewhere, chug some batteries in it and it`s good to go. Do you think any of these katana gos will still be working 10 yrs from now?
Realistically Nothing that costs $120 Bucks will last 10 years. In 10 years they will already be on the Boss Katana Go Mini 4
In 10 years, this thing will be irrelevant. The technology advances we are about to see are beyond comprehension. People already pay $1500 for a mobile phone that only lasts them a couple of years.
lol in 10 years there will be something better anyways .
It's a hundred bucks man 😂
Dude probably uses both sides of his TP.
No looper? No drum machine?
Boss BR 80 has it all.
Well! VOX invented the concept, and NUX make the best of all. Sorry Boss
Returned the NuX. Too shrill...
Cringe

Can you tell me how to find that "Ambient Clean tone patch"? What is it's number? Its so cool and nice, pure magic!
Hi, I can't remember exactly but it was one of the presets in the first 3 banks. It's the first ambient preset you'l find, can't miss it. And yeah it sounds beautiful. Cheers //Kris
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses
Thank you Kris for your reply! Cheers from Serbia :) Its a shame we dont have Thomman representative in Serbia and official dealer. :'(
