BOSS Ktn-Mini Katana Portable Guitar Amplifier, A Compact, Go-Anywhere Amp That Runs On Batteries - Rich, Full Sound

Bought this amp after seeing several video demos. Very lightweight and all plastic so when I first unpacked I thought it may be a cheap Chinese mistake. Plugged in my tele, and wow! Really good sound when you turn your back to it and forget its small and plastic. So much better than the Blackstar Fly I tried last year. All bits seem to work well and well designed. Even came with 6 x AA batteries. Really pleased.

I got this for when I travel to plug my guitar into, & also to use as an Ipad speakerTo say I was disappointed when I plugged in my guitar would be an understatement - Having watched some reviews online I was expecting to be blown away by the Katana Mini, but I was left thinking why have I just wasted my money when I've got a Blackstar 20w practice amp ?It was the next morning that the Katana Mini really showed me what its aboutI was up at stupid o'clock for work, had some time to kill, so plugged in again - Great tones across the 3 channels at low volumes, very responsive controls to the slightest tweaks, nice delay but you can get a useable reverb type effect from it - You can actually talk over the amp when its at full volume (might have to raise your voice a little though)This amp isn't trying to be anything, but a practice amp with great tones at low volumesI think for the price it should come with a power cable, but the 6 included batteries were an unexpected bonus !Highly recommend the amp, & fast delivery through Prime from the seller Sound Affects

This is perfect for around the house it's very versatile and sounds pretty good. It's early days yet but for now I'm well pleased with it. You can't expect to much from these little amps but there a whole lot better than the mini amps of twenty years ago.

Update - I gave up on this amp, okay for stringed instruments but completely unsuited to the harmonica or indeed vocals so I’m afraid I had to return it. No issues with returning it and a full refund was issued. Surprisingly loud for a little practice/small gig/busking amp ! Can’t say about battery life as I’ve not had it long enough and I tend to use it via a power supply anyway but sound is pretty good for both my electric acoustic ukulele and electric ukulele. Shame it only has one input as I would have liked to use it in conjunction with a harmonica but then after trying it today I don’t actually like the sound I’m getting that much via a bullet mike ! Of course time and fettling could prove me wrong because at time of writing I have only just unpacked it so can’t really do it justice ! Maybe I’ll come back at a later date, if it proves to be a compatible match for harmonica use and if so then so much the better. Anyway, for the money I think it’s worth a punt and I’m certainly not unhappy.

I bought this for my granddaughter's birthday. Looks like a toy, feels like a toy, sounds great. I used this for a 2 hour practise session, mostly on the clean setting a d was amazed at how good it sounds. The crunch and lead settings are terrific, where this amp excells, but l really liked the clean with a touch of delay. I'd love to hear this through a PA system, i think it would be awesome, and it's the size of a lunchbox. I really want one for myself!!

Wow what a cracking little Amp the Boss KTN mini is. The output of sound belise the size of the little 7 watt amp. My 20 watt cube and 15 watt mini cube are Roland's, and a bit heavy to shift about.This lives up to the Roland name with knobs on. Works great with my Epiphone Sg 400 and Guild Acoustic along with my Taylor acoustic guitar. Really nice Amp. Decent price tag quality product despite being plastic a really good build quality. No problems in recommending this Five stars.👍🎛️

Having previously used/suffered a succession of 'toy' amps (Orange crush, mini Marshall stack, etc..) I'd been after a 'sofa amp' for ages. You know- when you want to noodle away when watching TV but don't want to bring anything bulky downstairs... So I'd decided on the Blackstar Fly or this. SO happy I chose this!Nothing wrong with the Blackstar Fly- it's a cracking little box. But the Katana mini is awesome! Once you get it dialled in properly (keep the treble below halfway) you'd swear you had a 'real' amp sitting there by the fireplace. All three channels are perfectly useable. The gain knob works very well with each, and combined with your guitars volume knob you can tailor pretty much any tone. Delay is a nice feature too, with time and level controls. (TIP - turn the time all the way down and the level up to get a half decent reverb!)Crunchy gain sounds are rewarding, as is the high gain 'Brown Sound' setting.If, like me, you are convinced your family/spouse/pets need to hear your version of that-bit-you-can-play-from-Eruption, then you have found your practice amp!

Looks good and trusting other reviews but don't have any worries, it's just for the living room, I'm happy it's battery operated less faffing about, fits in my unit perfectly so happy 😁
