![A Katana In Your Pocket?!? BOSS KATANA:GO [Product Demo]](/img/1.gif)
I bought this recently and I think the sounds are great compared to my old line six pods, both guitar and bass. I cannot use my amps in present location. For the price you can't argue they aren't great sounding. Upgraded my headphones to beyer dynamic dt 990 pro and happy all round. Been using Audio technica phones since 80's but the Beyers are whilst quieter, probably impedence, are much more detailed and separated in the stereo feild.
You CANT wear wireless headphones because of the latency.
I agree. I don't think it's quite there yet. Generally, devices that use bluetooth either it doesn't matter (like listening to music) or something like for zoom/teams/meets meetings, and we all know how great those are.
That is definitely a problem with many "wireless" headphones, i.e. (Bluetooth). I've tried many different ones myself and been disappointed so many times. But, there are some that you don't have that problem with. At least to the point that it's noticeable. But of course, that efficiency and/or accuracy comes at a price that IMO, may not be worth it for many. Just my worthless two cents, lol. Cheers!
@@rmax5150 Aren't those usually ones where the company makes both pieces? They probably have the software set up a separate, prioritized connection.
Half correct, but you have to use a dedicated "in-ear" set with a dedicated transmitter & receiver" to avoid Bluetooth latency
I haven't seen anybody go out of the headphone jack, into a pair of powered monitors.
Wondering if it would sound like any other modeler, or if it has some sort of funky sound that only translates thru headphones.
You missed the fact that it allows you access to Boss's Katan's Tone cloud. So you can share and download patches. You did a good job on the Brown sound, sounded like Eddy to me.
Great review. You make a good case for using it for an interface and substitute for a lot of plugins. If I was buying a practice amp plug today, I'd definitely be getting the Katana. But I have a ~4 year old NuX Mighty Plug that I only use for late night practice, and the Katana doesn't change my main issue with the MP: wired headphones.
As I mentioned before its an option overload piece of gear like the Spark amp, still will get one though! And as a side note the JHS Notaklon was well worth the 4 month wait! Dont know what the genuine article sounds like but it is awesome, sounds good by itself or driving other dirt boxes.
I was getting the boss katana mini, but now im thinking this might meet my needs better, im a complete newbie that will just be practicing, badly, in my bedroom, i think this will definitely suit my needs.
Right with you brother
I love this little device but saying that I only have two minor problems with it. The first is that once the battery wears out you might as well throw it away cause you can’t put a new battery in it which actually is a big issue. The second thing is they’re saying it last up to 5 hours before needing a recharge I’m only getting about 3 hours. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue?
Absolutely agree with your comments about the continued limitation of Bluetooth. That said the product is impressive. I have a Vox AC headphone amp and a Spark. Saw this advance coming. Very cool! Keep’s comin!
It actually sounds really good. Not that you'd expect anything else from Boss.
As for the BT headphone, I wouldn't be surprised if Boss adds that functionality later, if the chipset supports it. In that case the technical challenge lay more with all the different BT implementations. Especially on Android devices.
Whoah!
Shut The Front Door Robert!
That thing is freakin' sick AF!
Me wanty, and I own a Fractal FM3!
Whoop-whoop!
For Bluetooth they make universal transmitters on Amazon that plugs into any 3.5mm jack. But this amp does sound extremely nice!
Those transmitters usually have a little bit of latency though.
THAT is fantastic!!! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you, Robert, for another great review!
Picking one up tomorrow. 😁
Rock on, Robert! 🤘🏻
One question, donyou know how to use the jam session? What I meab is I can only get the guitar sound into the headphone and not the elevated jam tune I have to play the headohones also.
Thank you.
1. Can I connect Boss Katana Go with a Mac computer over bluetooth, playing along backing tracks on iTunes or any digital audio workstations on the computer to jam along with?
2. Does Boss Katana Go support wireless/Bluetooth headphones?
1. Nope!
2. Nope!
@@RobertWJackson Right. Thank you.
I like the NUX Mighty Plug Pro. Not tempted to deviate from that by anything I have heard from the 94,759 BOSS Katana GO reviews up on YT. I use my NUX with {2} 4 button BT wireless foot controllers and an expression pedal.
Thanks for calling the Blue tooth issue out, heck it would be nice if I could connect wireless head phones to my Focusrite Scarlet so there are a lot of hardware waiting for some type of solution.
I have owned the Vox amplugs (even a rock master) as well as the new Fender mustang Plug and sold it for Nux which is a lot like this, not as cool looking and also has the app! I sold that too however because there was no Loop recorder that would make these priceless practice tools! A reason I like the whole Mooer prime, s1, p2, all the gtrs stuff, is the 80 second looper though I find it over priced. Anyways. Can this be put into an effect loop or ABY then headphone ported to powered speaker? That is how I would use this if possible. Thank You. Also, You never explained what You actually thought about Mitchell and they re products, especially being a former higher up in the Guitar Center Business. I Love that BC Rich. I always fall for Washburn and Randall has been letting Me down with Explosive Prices. Last but not least, I’m disappointed that this doesn’t have a Rectifier Model, like the new Pod express has no INSANE lol! You Rock Robert and keep it up! Great Channel!
This or mooer p2 for playing only with headphones? I am discarding the nux mighty plug pro since I heard that it has problems with high gain settings
No idea. Never tried the Mooer.
Your Amazon link takes me to the Fender headphone amp.
That’s strange, thanks for letting me know. I just updated the links. That Amazon link was for the right product the other day. Now I can’t even find the Katana:GO on there at all.
@@RobertWJackson Nobody has the product, I guess the container got lost at sea?
@@seanwalsh999
Order from Reverb. 💯
I have 2 already and both through Reverb as (1) arrived from the Netherlands and the other from New York. You'll be glad you did because this product is top notch.
Looks like most places have it back in stock now.
@@RobertWJackson Thanks for the update.
After I watched this video, I went to Music Depot for my guitar lesson. I looked around for a while and saw these pocket amps. They were not from Boss. They were from Black Star. They were on sale for $54.00. You could plug your head phones in them. but not your phone.
Wow Boss! The best pocket amp by far was the Vox amplug metal, but this thing is pretty dam great. It is double the price but it does do more🤘🏼 this is going to be on my buy list and great review👍🏼
How is the Software compared to the positive grid spark Software...?
That sounds like a question for @GearGasms!
Still better the spark amp software. I love my spark go, but this is better.
Had to crack a smile when you were talking about your opinion😄. Nice sounds but bummer... no aux input. Without an external mixer or something it's the 'Lone Guitar Player".
wow, modern technology. I had a tom sholtz rockman in the 80's and thought it was amazing.
Those actually sound really good. R.J. Ronquillo did a video on those awhile back. 80’s Def Leppard tones for days!
i love my Boss Katana and GT-1 and want this but am bothered by the notion that one day that little internal battery is going to die and then all you have is a disposable brick and a product which is likely no longer made which is why they should make it so once the internal battery does die you can just slide it out (like you do when replacing the battery on a snark clip on tuner) and there you go you have a product that lasts a lifetime not just a few years.
I bet that sometime in the next year or so, a few people will start posting videos about how to replace the battery on your own. I’m sure Boss will also offer support for this via their manufacturer’s warranty, as well.
Mine arrived yesterday, it’s great.
This is gonna hurt my wallet great video might make a great thing to use when I want to play and not wake the baby
I love the concept, but I have an analogue brain, so I struggle with amps that don't have visible & tactile controls.
So I bought a new studio headphone that I'll use with my existing practice/modelling amps instead.
I guess this sort of thing isn't made with middle aged gen xers in mind as the target market. More than dozen mini amps are probably enough anyway!
It would be great if boss actually shipped them to the local music stores. Can’t find them anywhere.
Just order one. Most places have it online.
@@RobertWJackson I try to support my local music shop. Shops like that are becoming more scarce. Buy local.
I get that, but NOT buying something that the local shops don’t have in stock anyway isn’t supporting those local shops.
Can i play a backing track on youtube and have it play along in the headphones?
How would you do that?
@@RobertWJackson you can actually i found. bluetooth audio from the phone to the headphones,
K, but my doggie Fang would love to make that his next chew toy though.
Some groovy tones...
wireless headphones with bt suck because of bt's latency to the point they become useless with timing critical devices like instruments. if you wanted to go wireless you'd need a different kind of radio protocol, maybe offer that as an upgrade with a plug-in 3.5mm trs module that you velcro-strap to the device and your headphones?
I ordered mine from Sweetwater on March 29th. I received a text indicating "The KatanaGo is on backorder for the next month or so".
Did you receive yours? I ended up finding one locally at GC. Sad news that they've discontinued the Katana Go already.
@@IamtheFerryMan I did. I received it on May 25th. It really is a great product. Good find! Worth every penny!
@IamtheFerryMan Boss didn’t discontinue the Katana:GO already. That’s nonsense. It was backordered for a bit due to a distribution snafu at the time it was released, but that’s been resolved now and it’s back in stock at numerous retailers.
@RobertWJackson You want to know something that's nonsense? A guitar youtuber who doesn't do his research. Sweetwater removed the sales page (they've since re-added it for reference only), CME and other retailers sent notices to pre order buyers. The Katana Go, in it's current iteration has been discontinued.
@@RobertWJackson If you need further proof, the only page available on the Boss website is the support page for Katana Go.
Cool!
That Yamaha bass tho😍
"That Clean sucks!" (Continues to play with Natural Overdrive boost set ON throughout video)
Jokes aside, I am highly planning on getting the Katana Go in the near future! Especially as it has both guitar and bass features.
Also, sorry for the spammed comment (deleted all extras I think). Am at work and RUclips app was being an ass
I hate digital controls. Knobs are so much better.
watching you reach for the unit and adjusting it constantly was about the most annoying five minutes of my life.
