![A Katana In Your Pocket?!? BOSS KATANA:GO [Product Demo]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ij0DdFhetOY/mqdefault.jpg)
i had left my guitars collecting dust as i had no time in the day to practice with am amp without disturbing my little kid and wife at night.i really think this is one excellent product for me to go back practicing again during the night .great one BOSS
its great but most modern amps have headphone out already,, alternatively a cheap Focusrite 2i2 interface will literally change your life for practicing quietly.
@@averagebedroomproducer5008
The biggest issue I have these days is that I'm in quite a small apartment so in order to play I have to literally move furniture to get to my amp and dig out all the cables and pedals, even to play through headphones, then putting it all away again, I feel like i have to spend forty minutes as a roadie for my own forty minute practice. I'm definitely going to get one of these.
I’ve been just using the amp modes in GarageBand. Loads of variety and sound great.
@@averagebedroomproducer5008 not everyone wants to be tied to their computer, some people like being able to move around when they paly.
This! Whilst they've sold like hot cakes I always thought it was dumb that with the full size katana amps you had to physically plug into the amp to use the the editing software. And yet with the other amps including this Go unit you can connect wirelessly over Bluetooth.
So I got one plugged it up and thought “Shit this doesn’t sound as good as this video” then realized I’m not Dagan. DAMMIT. But I will say this thing is AMAZING. IF ONLY I HAD DAGANS DAMN FINGERS.
i love little headphone amps like this just because how practical they are.. when you just want to practice on the couch or something no way near your rig.
Wow, when the guitar is muted you can really tell what a light touch Dagan has. Love your playing and antics, D. Keep on keepin' on.
Excellent demonstration Dagan. Thanks.
Rock on 🤘🎸
I love the sound editing in this one also. That was really cool.
Great playing once again Degan!
Degan, "That's enough of that." No, man. Can't ever get too much of that. Killer playing and demo as usual. I'll have to get one of these.
Great demo! Just been to PMT online and bought one even before the video finished! I've got the katana 50w and also the katana mini, now I'll have the go to play with. Nice 😊
For all those asking, NO this doesn’t work with Bluetooth headphones, and none of those do. Not the device fault, it’s Bluetooth latency fault. No Bluetooth protocol allows for low enough latency to play an instrument through it and still monitor
Wonder how their Wazza Air headphones work ?
They are wireless
@@A.D.D.O.C.D.T must be 2.4Ghz or similar, like the wireless systems used on stage. Bluetooth is a low power protocol and there are many other wireless protocols.
@@A.D.D.O.C.D.T they have their custom format, which is not Bluetooth. They also support Bluetooth, but if you use that, there's the higher latency again
Waza Air Headphones work fantastic! They are practically the same thing but cost as much as a tube amp. For $119 I’d put up with the cord.
Technology now wow. 😂 Dagan is my fav guitarist reviewer!
Ours too! 🤘
He’s definitely fun 🤩
Thanks, Dagan , for your great review. Yes I will be getting one of these when they come back in Stock at PMT Portsmouth. Just wish I could play as good as you.
I lost it during the intro when the camera cut to the shot of him playing without the direct audio. 😂
got mine 2 days ago, loving it so far. headphones are great, I also use the aux in on my katana mini on batteries. best headphone amp I've tried so far
Dagan, you are an amazing guitarist and presenter, great job as always!
Great review. Never bought from PMT before, but they seem to be the only online music store to have these in stock. Can't wait for it be delivered. Well done Degan and team and PMT!
Sounds great man
I'll be getting one of these very soon 🤘😎
Honestly what a handy little thing. Great for late night practice or not waking folks up or even just being nowhere near your rig.
BOSS never ceases to amaze! I’ve got so many Tone Central amps to put into this! 👍👊🤟
Very cool. Boss Katana’s are fun. 🤘😎
Cheers Aljon! 🤘
Boss makes nice products, I really ❤ this katana go.👍
And gotta love those Kramers. I still play my original 80's american pacer Imperial daily. 🎸
Danm, I bought the fender one as a stocking stuffer for myself this Christmas. Should have waited.
This Seriously Looks Great
Great review! This looks incredible. Will it connect to an iPhone so I can connect my guitar to garage band? Thanks
Great Demo. Shame there's no Drum Machine/Metronome feature. Would have made it a total Home Run. Maybe add in an update in "Session"?
Cant wait to get one !!!
This technology is so good and moving so fast how long before these type of units are all home players (the majority) really need. I look at all my stuff and don’t and won’t need most of it soon (probably still buy it though). Great video!
That's a great feature with the Bluetooth so you can play along to backing tracks.
Better still, run one ear budd into one side of the headphones independant from this system. That will save you battery. A Y cable might work too. Probably need a mono cable, not stereo.
just popped into pmt romford and purchased one of these.
Dagan doing what he does best yet again, making a great product look even better. Well done big man. Awesome!
Great idea, great product AND another great review. It was good to see you in person at the Guitarshow 24 even if I didn't speak to you personally. Keep up the good work bro AND keep on inspiring us
Dreat demo Dagan... holy shit, I'm getting one!!
Nice review! Know if it’s possible to use this with other MIDI controllers/expression pedals? Or only Boss?
I have a Morningstar MC6 Pro, and would be keen to know if it’d work with this…
I wish that I was the product manager behind that little monster! For the Stage Feel - I could even hear the difference between the direct to the positioned amps with my Bose Companions.
Sweet playing!
Does it have an integrated looper or only the session mode?
I have Fender Mustang Micro, but this one has more features. Interesting and worth a look, especially the built-in tuner!
It blows the Fender out of the water.
I've been using a mustang micro for the last three years, loved it. Waiting foe this sucker to come in, cant wait. 🤘🤘
I noticed these were back in stock this week and got mine today. Yes, the hype is real. I can understand why everywhere sold out of these so quickly.
I've got the Rushead Max at the moment, going through AKG headphones and it sounds absolutely amazing (much better than I imagine I could get through an amp, without spending many multiple times more)
It doesn't have a lot of the features of this Boss though and my big gripe with the Rushead, is the fixed jack point. It has inevitably snapped off and broken the housing in use. This is even after having the wires tied onto the strap button, the pressure on it was too much for the plastic to take.
If they could supply a short curly extension wire and some kind of rubber style case that had a loop coming off it, to attach it to a strap button, it would be a big help.
I might well get one of these Boss's to replace it, it looks very impressive, will there be a comparison video coming up, to see which headphone amp sounds best?
I can't believe how inexpensive this thing is! Bought one the other day and it's brilliant. Works great into a portable amp too. I put mine through my little Blackstar 3 as an experiment and I was really impressed. I can see tis being used more than my normal amps now. Playing through headphones will keep the missus happy anyway.
My neighbors who like my guitar playing so much threw a brick through my window so that more of the sound could get out, just bought me one.
What headphones are you using for the demo? Considering picking one of the Katana Go's up and was interested in a decent set of over ears to go with it.
Can this be used as interface for video recording on mobile phones? Also is headphone jack TRRS so it can capture voice also when uswd for online lessons?
SMOL TONES!
I love the headphone amp but what is really like to know is can I buy that Kramer!!!
Is it linkable to boss wireless reciver? If it goes to a mixer is incredible
Not bad, If I didnt have a nux pro plug I would buy this for the physical screen and on screen tuner. But the nux pro already has IRs, and everything else, including app tunning. But this seems great and at a really cheap price. Was going to laugh about how the nux does the same for half the price, but they cost pretty much the same. Boss doing a great job as always
Can this be used with other Bluetooth pedals like the IK Multimedia BlueBoard?
What kramer model comes with dtuna and kill switch???
You should offer lessons...i just ordered one of these
Can you plug the 'Go' into an amp if you want to use the effects like a pedal?
soo impressed i bought one from PMT , straight away :) , p.s whats the riff at 19:40 ?? cheers :)
Just wondering if you used the sustainiac at all during this review. I see it on the guitar.
I want the waza air but I've been skint this looks like a fantastic alternative for more than half the price
The one thing I haven't seen anyone demo in their reviews is the expression pedal integration. Can it be used to control any built-in wah or other effects?
Can you shape the tone with It and then connect It to the Katana MK2? I'd like to create my tones at home and then use them on my katana amp that i use in the reharsal room. Is It possible?
In your opinion what is better the boss pocket gt or the katana pro? I have the pocket gt on back order. Its 6 weeks out. Bleh. It the katana go has a lot of the same features as the pocket gt
Awesome dagan. Can i use my ditto looper with these? So guitar into looper and katana on the output? Assume they work same as waza air receiver? Thanks
But I think then you wouldn't be able to use the Katana sounds to record overdubs while keeping the original track pure, the Katana would affect the original track as well (like putting the Ditto looper in front of your pedalboard).
that Kramer GUITAR is sick. Can I find a review of it on your channel?
Seeing that you can connect multiple Bluetooth devices to this, such as the wireless expression and foot switch pedal, can you connect wireless Bluetooth headphones/earbuds with this or do you HAVE to use the aux port?
You have to use wired headphones, the Bluetooth only works in one direction, into the Go, not out of it.
can you connect it directly to an amp/combo-amp ?
Looks like I’m gonna have to get me one of these. 😃🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
I would like to see this compared to the NUX Mighty Plug Pro.
At the risk of going off at a tangent I did think about just going for a katana 50 proper amp. However, it's just silly that for editing via the app you have to physically connect it to the amp rather than do it over Bluetooth. That looks sillier when you now see this product to that precise operation over Bluetooth. For home practice cutting down cables is great
I have the Nu-X, but this seems better. For one thing, it has a tuner. Also has a master volume knob, which the Nu-X lacks, you have to set the volume for each pre-set individually using the app. I'm eager to get the Katana.
What guitar is it??❤😊
Just need to wait for it to be listed literally anywhere in Australia I guess. Definitely want.....NEED it.
It's now listed for pre order at Sky Music and Mega Music Online 🤘
I just ordered one from musicians friend. It will ship out next week
Is there a slight lag when playing using bluetooth? I have the Fender Mustang Micro and it's unusable with bluetooth due to the lag.
Love it when switch to just guitar 😂😂
im a complete guitar beginner player, and im also a short arsed wheelchair user, full size guitars are not suitable so i decided that as im a newbie that just wants to learn and play for myself im just going to get the hofner shorty deluxe guitar, more than enough for my needs, and i was going to get the boss katana mini amp to go with it but now im wondering if this might be better for my needs.
Looks decent enough, and these modern ones are so much better than the amplugs we used to have like 20 years ago yet they still try and sell for far too much.
Trouble is I now have several of these gathering dust. Fender micro, nix, bosses core, a mooer p1 and an Ali express special I bought just to compare.
They are pretty good, but changing effects is a fiddly faff and ultimately a small multi effects like a zoom or a mooer is actually about the same price or less and just better.
Plus you can then plug those multi’s I to your amp and just not buy an extra device
can you use this as a live gig thing?
Great vid! How tall are you man?
First off awesome video and love your playing.Had it for about ten days and i honestly like the fender mustang micro better.the boss is fine and sounds great but cant really do anything without the app.i mostly play hard rock ,metal and blues(just need three presets )and the fender mustang is perfect for just plug in and play guys(fender shouldve put in a tuner like boss did)that being said if you need thirty presets and like spending hours tweaking and retweaking pedals amps and eq's then the boss katana go is for you.but for meat and potatoes players like myself(been playing since '79) go with the Vox amplug of your choice or for double the Vox price get the fender mustang micro...peace \m/
Nothing new you got the Boss Pocket and it’s great
I want something so I can play like that 😮 like a brain transfer pedal
How does this compare to the Fender Mustang Micro?
Please do comparision with fender mustang micro
What is the song that the riff is from @7.55 ?
Nice one Dagan - legend! 🎉
Thanks! 🤘
And Megan, lovely bit of acoustic guitar playing from 10:44 👏
Dagan is BOSS
It's junk
What guitar are you playing
Can "picth shifter" effect in this katana capable of dropping guitar tuning such as from E standard to C standard for playing Metal sir? Please answer🙏
I haven’t tried it personally, but I believe you can get all the effects from the Katana when you edit patches with the app!
Which is better?? The Katana Go, or the Waza Air??
I can't decide 😞
What's the verdict? This or Fender Mustang Micro?
Is it better than the Fender Mustang Micro? Been using it for a few years and love it. Play it way more than my amp
I have the Fender, but this seems way better to me. I think I'm gonna get one!
@@jakollee same here. I play with a headset more than anything. Love these little amps
I play it so much that things seems off when I use my actual amp like
There is a delay or something. Guess I got used to the guitar coming out of the headphones it is weird when the sound is in front of me. Which isn’t good lol but it is what it is
@@MrRaEricksonThat's funny! Maybe you need to rig some sort of in-ear monitor for your amp!
@@jakollee I think so. It’s hard to explain but it is different
What Times does it have
what a time to be alive..
Is there a way to run this into a droid phone? Im guesing so? I have an app i can record on that way when traveling thanks
can you use the boss katana go on boss tone studio pc version?
i dont think so. not one word i was listening for that too. pc would be easier.
It would be great if it also had a guitar output, to record directly with it or connect it to a speaker/clean amp.
I'm not sure, but I think you can use the USB port to record directly to computer? For speaker/amp, if you happen to have an amp with a AUX IN that's a 1/8th inch female input (for example, a Fender Champion), you can run a cable with 1/8th inch male plugs on both ends into the AUX IN of the amp and come out the speaker. I think this bypasses the pre-amp section of the amp, and you can only control the volume with the master volume on the Katana Go. This is what I do now with my Fender Mustang Micro (similar device) into a Fender Champion 40, but the Katana Go looks way better, I need to get one!!
Gosh i would freaking LOVE one of these as it'd be perfect for my situation but because of that same situation i can't afford it 😅 currently homeless living in temporary supported accommodation so can't disturb my neighbours in the next rooms by playing through an amp. I got by with a vox amplug for a while but it died on me back in december and i've been playing unplugged ever since 😭 once my circumstances are better i'll still hafta get one though so i can play around others without disturbing them ^.^
can i record it into an ios device whilst recording video? would make things so simple for tiktok
Sure beats the Rockman I had back in the day.
No review on UA-cam explains how you connect this device to your iPad to play along with backing tracks via headphones on UA-cam as you can with the Roland Cube. Any ideas anyone?
Okay, so I just want to make sure. If I will pair my smartphone with Katana GO device and will play any sound source in the background (UA-cam, Spotify etc.) as a back track I will hear both the sound from the Guitar/Katana GO and the back track from other source?
Yep! 🤘
🔥🔥
I impulse bought the Waza Air. Which are very limited. They cant be used as normal headphones. This is way better.
Can you maybe elaborate a bit more as to why the katana air are limited? I’ve been wanting a pair of them since they came out, but I was hoping they would come out with an MK2 version, but it seems they made the katana go instead.
@@isyscarola5928
@kruse8888 SAID....
2 days ago
Get the Waza Air headphones instead. No cords and the spatial effect is awesome.
A little expensive but worth it
i need a run down on Dagan's guitar.
Can u connect this with Bluetooth or regular speakers is there any latency?
There’s no Bluetooth audio out, just the headphone out. You can edit and stream to the Katana go, not from it.
Does it have a metronome?
That's cool, but the more I think about it, how is it better than the headphones connected to my Katana like I already do if I want to be quiet?
You're not limited to, staying in one place like your main system. unless
You walk around with your amp.
@johngonzales3686 I've got a Bluetooth transmitter and receiver, so yes, I do walk around, but I see your point.
I’m thinking, will that Jack be ok? does it get any strain?
Jack is fine , they have it a set right so the katana is above it and doesn’t get in the way, using in a fender Strat
