Boss Katana Mini B-Stock

The Boss Katana series offers a selection of excellent-sounding amp simulations, three of which have been integrated into the Katana Mini, the smallest combo in the range. Players can thus choose between a shimmering clean sound, a biting and dynamic crunch, and a singing high-gain lead sound, which are easily selectable using the mini-switch on the amp’s control panel. The Katana Mini is also child’s play to operate in every other respect: Its gain and volume controls and three-band EQ section mean that all manner of cool sounds can be dialled in with ease. With controls for delay time and level, the amp’s tape delay effect is both intuitive to operate and adds a touch of depth to the sound – also a welcome feature while practising.

The Boss brand has been an important part of the Japanese Roland Corporation since the mid-1970s and has caused a sensation from its inception, especially with its compact effect pedals but also multi-effect units and other helpful tools for guitarists. The company's single effect pedals in particular are legendary and can be found in almost every guitarist's home. An incredible 15 million have been sold to date. With its Katana series, the manufacturer now also offers excellent amplifiers at a very interesting price point.
