    I have the Katana Artist GEN 3, and the Katana GO is its portable equivalent. I think the studio app is actually better for the GO. Extremely intuitive to use and the amount of editing/sound design options are vast. The fact that it has a tuner is a total bonus. Even the Artist doens't have one. And lastly, I'm excited to try running the GO straight into my DAW via USB-C. That's very cool.

  • Incredible versatility and tone

    I have owned a Fender Mustang Micro for years and never happy with it. The Katana presets sounded pretty bad with some of my guitars, but I got the app connected and I dialed in great tones in a few minutes. The variety and level of control of the effects is top notch for the price.

  • Great bang for the buck!

    So glad Boss brought back the Katana:Go! I have a Fender Mustang Micro, and the Katana:Go leaves it in the dust. The presets are much more to experiment with, and the ability to edit each effect and preset with a smartphone app, it's great!

  • I live in hopes of better tech.

    This unit could be better but, In my opinion, and Having played with this a year now, It is better than most devices of this nature out there i.e. Positive Grid, Fender Mustang micro (which is terrible), NUX MP-3, Vox amPLUG 2 etc... Make something Better please.

    Can this pair with wireless headphones? I have a pair of studio Sony headphones that would be great for quality. Or does this product need a direct input?
