Instant gratification
The KATANA:GO delivers premium sound for everyday playing without the hassle of amps, pedals, and computer interfaces. Simply plug in, connect earphones or headphones, recall a memory, and start rocking. Onboard controls provide access to volume, memory selection, and other essential functions, and you can easily see the current memory and tuner with the built-in display. The rechargeable battery provides up to five hours of continuous playtime, and the integrated 1/4-inch jack folds into a pocket-sized package that's ready to go anywhere.
Authentic katana tone
KATANA:GO powers your sessions with authentic sounds from the best-selling Katana stage amp series. Guitar mode features 10 unique amp characters, including clean, crunch, high-gain BOSS Brown-type, two characters optimized for acoustic/electric guitar, and more. There’s also a dedicated bass mode with Vintage, Modern, and Flat types, directly ported from the Katana Bass amps. Each mode includes a massive library of BOSS effects to explore, with deep sonic customization available in the companion BOSS Tone Studio app for iOS and Android.
Immersive stage sound
The innovative Stage Feel feature in KATANA:GO delivers an immersive playing experience, realized with advanced BOSS spatial technology. Presets let you place the amp and backing music in different places in the sound field, giving you the impression of playing with a backline on stage or jamming in a room with friends. You can even personalize the sound field with the intuitive tools in BOSS Tone Studio.
Boundless inspiration
The guitar and bass modes in KATANA:GO each have 30 memories packed with sounds ready to play. With BOSS Tone Studio, you can fine-tune the preset memories, create sounds from scratch, or import Tone Setting memories created with stage-class Katana guitar and bass amps. The app also provides integrated access to the BOSS Tone Exchange, where you can download professionally curated Livesets and share sounds with the global BOSS community.
*Currently, only Livesets created by BOSS are available for download in the BOSS Tone Studio app. Support for downloading and sharing user content will be added in June 2024. You can access all user content features by visiting the BOSS Tone Exchange using your web browser.Â
Jam, practice and learn.
With KATANA:GO and your smartphone, you have a complete mobile solution to give your daily workout a boost. Warm up by jamming along to songs from your music library. Then use the powerful Session feature in BOSS Tone Studio to hone your skills with YouTube learning content. Create playlists to create an organized routine and loop sections for focused learning. You can even set timestamps and have KATANA:GO automatically switch memories as you play along with YouTube backing tracks!
Record and stream
The versatile KATANA:GO also functions as a USB audio interface for music production and online content creation on a computer or mobile device. Record professional Katana tones in DAW software. Or connect to your favorite social media and video recording apps and share your fingerboard skills with the world. In both applications, you can use the Stage Feel feature to add depth and dimension to your instrument's sound and backing music streamed via Bluetooth audio.
Wireless foot control
The optional EV-1-WL Wireless MIDI Expression Pedal and FS-1-WL Wireless Footswitch expand the KATANA:GO experience with remote control functions that you assign in BOSS Tone Studio. Control volume and wah, select memories, turn effects on and off, and more—all with a cable-free connection. Learn more on the EV-1-WL and FS-1-WL product pages
