Andy: Your Thomanlink doesnt work
Are you sure the effects on this thing are all mono ? I’m hoping the reverb is stereo otherwise it’ll sound very dull in headphones.
Thanks! @@user-pk4kb8bx9g I fixed it
no, just that patch was mono@@iwonder.
@@TheGuitarGeek
Yeah. Now it works 👍
Excellent work from our resident Katana GENIUS! Thanks Andy :)
You’re welcome! GREAT piece of gear
I have come to trust your demonstrations Andy, I know we all have to make a living and affiliate commissions are a part of this for online personalities, but I sense you have good intentions, additionally you are a player, amongst all of the UToob guitar people I like your approach, for what this is worth. Cheers (Mic not being connected happens to the best of us)
Thanks Michael. Honesty and fun is the basis of my channel. I love what i do and I am just another guitar enthusiast
Love your very honest opinions on products 👌 🇬🇧
@@TheGuitarGeek I also enjoy and trust the demos (and understand the need for comms!). Thought for another vid (with kit you've already got) - I already have a Pocket GT; would I want a Katana Go as well or vice versa ? Would I want to use a Pocket GT with a full Katana amp, or is it just duplication ?
Thank you for the detailed demo. Makes it easier to decide whether or not you might want to try the product. You do a good job and it’s a big help. 👍🏻
Love your presentations. I’m 70 years old and still love learning stuff like this. Praying for your son to get better.
Thank you Joe
In Jesus name, son be healed. Just as Jesus said to the Centurion and the servant was healed that very moment. amen.
🙏🙏🙏
@@StratmanDarrellamen brother!
You sir are one of the BEST on UA-cam. I enjoy every video, instagram post, and @threads post you do. All quality, truthful, and entertaining content. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Thanks 🙏
An absolutely brilliant review, Andy. I’m sold!
You always shoot straight from the hip, Andy! Huge reason that I trust and believe you when you review, demo and give your insight on the products that you feature. Again, you did not disappoint. Boss is an innovator and makes quality equipment. Well done, ANDY!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
stumbled in here from another of your videos. Super informative well presented. Such a time we live in with all this tech and still sounds great...come a long way
Great demo Andy. Your review appeared to be pretty thorough. Saw this video about 20 min after it was released as I woke up early in the AM - U.S. Central time and could not sleep so turned on UA-cam. You had me thinking about this all day. The built in tuner coupled with your demonstration was the thing that sealed the deal for me. Ordered it tonight and used your link.
Glad it was helpful!
Great review Andy. What a cool little thing this is !! Very versatile
Cheers
Nice review. Also thanks for taking bassists into consideration!
Thanks again for a excellent demo and explanation of new Boss tech.
Excellent review! Expecting mine in a few days. I totally agree with having channel 2 USB being the clean DI. Very helpful!
Amazing review! Now I’m drawn to buying this. TYSM!
As a trucker this would be great for me. Great review 👍
Great review! This little beauty is going on my Father's Day gift list!
This is exactly what I need. I use a headphone amp for my daily practice, but this is the next thing, plus I've already have a Katana 50. Thanks for posting.
Great overview, thanks!
You always review the coolest stuff! It gives us an idea if they are worth buying and that is important when you have to manage funds wisely.
Thanks! I hope this helps you make a decision
What a great little piece of gear! Would love to try it out since I have a Katana amp. Good one Boss and thank you Andy for the great and informative video! 🤘
Thanks V. I recommend one to anyone who is travelling…. 😊
Great demo Andy! That's pretty cool!
Glad you liked it!
Primarily a bass player but love watching this channel for news etc. nice to have my own special hello in this vid Andy - cheers ❤
Hello Timothy! Glad to have you here ❤️
@@TheGuitarGeek good to be here. Genuinely really enjoy your views on here, I don't always agree but always find that you are very fair and pickup a tonne of the everyday usage points that I am interested in. Love it when I can find info on your channel about gear I am interested in as I really feel I get a sensible opinion. Thanks for what you do fella, it is appreciated here.
Got one, digging into it. Sounds great!
I love my waza air headphones, especially with the funky spatial sound when you move your head. But they are extra when travelling and I’m already taking another good set of headphones. Incredible sounds for such a tiny box. Also mate loving the new look to the studio. Also Vegemite is king.
I was with you right up until the last statement
Just love you. At Nam, you showed everyone that you don't compromise your values. Any mate that does that is good in my book. I have the fender micro, very similar. I've gotten rid of my regular amp mostly. Hey, if you like big amps, dealers can't sell them right now. Good time for a discount, a big one. They need the room. I love the mono feature. My in stereo sound is priceless
@@giddyrightonup Haha! Me too! Marmite rules, obviously.
Well you had me till you said that price,. I can tell you something that will blow minds 🤯and piss off all big name brands, . First get out that old pos practice amp your grandma got you ,you know that gorilla amp . Cut the two speaker wires going into that horrible little 5inch speaker inside that makes that awesome sound of bees inside of a trash can we all grown to love so much and replace it with a 12inch vintage 30 ,you’ll probably have to get a cab as well . In the end will it be cheaper than the katana go ? Nope ,but if your gonna shell out $130 you might as well spend $30 more and get something your not gonna lose or break when you accidentally step on it cause it will happen 😊
Thanks Andy!
You are very welcome Peter!
Nicely done Andy, some seriously cool guitars utilised in this video!
Boss giving us the goods again, the OG and go to for good reason. £120 uk at andertons is priced spot on 👍🏼
The price point should make it a no brainer for any one on the lookout for something like this
Got mine today and am 100% happy with it.
Thanks
can you play with a backing track/sound on headphones?
@@sam710v yes
That was awesome 👏 thank you 🙏 I made a special board to take around for practice …. But it’s cumbersome… this solves that problem and sounds great 👍. Thank You 🙏
I love your reviews!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Didnt even know they were doing this.
Thanx andy.
This was a great video. I'm buying one of the Katana Go because of this video...
Just bought mine and on my way home. Thank you, Andy. 🙂
Just bought one based on your review. Thanks!
Hi 👋 Could you tell me how loud is it through your headphones please? I'm a little hard of hearing and I have found the other devices I've used through my headphones aren't quite loud enough. Maybe to protect people's hearing 🤷🏻♂️ I don't want it super loud just loud enough to hear what I'm playing properly and I can't seem to find any information on it's volume
Great demo Andy....it's never been a better time to play guitar !
Great job buddy
Thanks again for another fun and very helpful tutorial video! I appreciate you Andy, especially for your unorthodox way of testing and demonstrating gear to take it to higher limits than expected.
Very nice review! I just bought one and can't wait. Totally agree that stereo outs would be killer, more so if this could also switch to a true stereo out mode for rotary modulation and ping pong delay. Guess we'll have to wait for the next version.
The pedal was a pleasant surprise. "STAGE FEEL" was another pretty brilliant addition. BOSS is continually offering the best practice amp options. Great review graphic overlays, by the way. Super helpful.
Why are these priced $229.00 AUD in Australia. Like around $150 US?
@rickyzoom8059 I'm guessing its so that they don't lose money. The currencies are different. USD is currently valued at $1 to every $1.51 AUD. So, every $200USD would be roughly $300AUD, etc. Otherwise, maybe a trade agreement or just because China is jealous of Australia having the best surfers. I don't know.
good video, good review, good product, good reviewer (as always). I'm getting one. Thanks!
Enjoy it!
I did walk > train > walk to a gig on Thursday so anything that reduces the weight of my gig setup is very attractive. Very tempting (and the IR2 pedal seems to be out of stock everywhere in the UK!).
Damn, bro! Those first few chords sounded like some Cocteau Twins style shoe gaze! ❤🤘
This is a brilliant idea from Boss. It's probably going to sell like crazy.
You know, for a 'geek', you're pretty cool. I've watched a few of your videos and really like the channel.
Liked and subscribed.
I agree and thanks! Welcome
To the channel
Would love to see a comparison to the original NUX Mighty Plug in terms of the quality of the effects and amp sounds. Including the session feature but no drum machine is strange.
That is a pretty nifty device, very smart to use it near your pedal board with a normal guitar cable connected!❤🎉
Great Demo, Andy.
I think My Tom Scholz Soloist was a bit over $300 when it was gifted to me for Christmas in 1986. I could play clean, edge, or distorted; with chorus and/or echo for effects.
I just priced this at $119 this morning & I’m more than blown-away by the way this thing sounds. Plus, it has a tuner. What an amazing tool for students & pros alike.
I have a sick cat that’s about to eat my savings, but that’s ok. I’ll get one of these soon enough.
Can't wait for mine to arrive! Hopefully some day Boss adds a looper to the katana platform, would make it perfect
I just purchased a Boss Katana Artist II guitar amp. 100 watt. Love it Great amp for the money. Take care 😊😊🎸🎸
Great demo Andy as are all of your demos. Love lsitening to you and you know your stuff! What is that metal box the Katana Go is plugged into. I like that becasue I can have the unit on my desk. Tank you!
Amazing, Vote for Pedro!
We just bought our youngest son his first electric guitar as a surprise for his 15th birthday today (he's in his 5th year of playing classical guitar) and I was thinking about getting him a Katana, but this is golden! So yes, I just ordered him one of these, thanks to your demo/review! I'm actually looking forward to trying it myself, lol
Next step will be a Katana combo, but I was thinking the same as you, that MKIII may be on the horizon (soon?), so we're going to wait with that for a bit longer
If there's a Mark 3 please God they have the sense to make sure you can use the editing app over Bluetooth rather than having to physically plug it in.
Amazing ❤🎸
First, let me say that this piece of gear is BADASS!!! I can certainly see myself using this in several applications, even in live performance. But I can also definitely see myself practicing with it, which is the reason for this comment/question. Did you say that this can be plugged into your guitar and the signal can be sent to WIRELESS, BLUETOOTH headphones/earbuds? If so, I will be using your link to get one today. One more thing, thank you for these vids; you along with maybe 3 or 4 other content-creators are my go to for things of this nature. Keep going !!! You got this !!!
Love the review. Just ordered one. That’s a very interesting setup what kind of pedal box did you plug the katana go into? Thanks.
BOSS is gonna sell millions. Also, my favorite part of the video is near the end where he directly addresses the amp like it's a person.
😂 that amp and have been through a lot together
I’ve been using Roland/BOSS gear all my life. This will be a great addition to my Katana 100!
jeezus... you keep dropping that hendrix "highway chile" riff into your recent videos now the damn song is stuck in my head.
I can’t help it… it’s stuck in my head too😊
THIS looks really cool, I’ve been looking at these micro things for a bit now but never quite felt that “urge” to get one?
THIS could very well be the game changer, thanks for a very informative and in depth review, now…where’s my nearest dealer🤓
Great content! New suscriber here. Happy new owner of a Katana 100 Mkii and a Katana Go thanks to you yoo! I'm wondering how you can connect the stereo 3.5mm output of the Katana to a Aux in? Is the Aux in also stereo or are you losing a channel? I'm intending to use this feature to play a jam sessions when I just show up for 1 or 2 songs and want to avoid carrying gear but still somewhat have my own sound and voiume control handy.
Thanks for the video! I’m super excited, as I liked the sound of the Waza Air, but without the ability to record it or just listen to it without headphones it didn’t work for me. Seems like the Go is the thing I’ve been waiting for 🎉. Do you think you could gig with it?😂
As soon as I heard you start playing lovebuzz it improved my whole outlook on life
I love using reverb above all other effects - but that ‘stage feel 2’ is amazing; I might have to buy an expensive headphone amp now - and have my Vox Amplug2 Clean as my backup!
Great demo Andy. Can you share any ideas you have on how to put a looper pedal after the Katana go?
Great video, Andy. The Waza Air has a tunner. It is a sound tunner, but a tunner still.
IT IS STEREO! But use modules that are stereo of course, like stereo chorus, panning delay and or reverb. Use the headphones out directly and or record via USB. It sounds huge and immense!
1:43 Never forget protection Andy! /stares awkwardly at the small humon next to him. Thanks Andy 🍺
Amazing a must for everyone. Reminds me when the Rockman X100 came out. but this is a million times better!!!! As for the Plug i would add an extension with cable like a wireless on belt.
Looks cool but I got it covered with my Nux mp3...love that thing!
I already have the Mustang Micro. I've ordered one of these today.
This thing is pretty darn cool! Thank you for answering my biggest question at the very beginning! Awesome that this has a bass mode! Yup, I'm a bassist. I've been watching you for quite a while, at least a year. Anyhow, I appreciate how you can totally geek out and do a thorough dive deep into whatever it is reviewing all while keeping the video under a half hour! Totally appreciate you and your contributions to the UA-cam space! I hope your son is on the mend!
Thank you Andy!😃👍
Hey Andy, thanks for the review, received mine yesterday and it will most likely replace my Mustang Micro 😂
One question though: what is that little box you plugged in the cable and the Katana Go? Cheers, Klaus
An led bar over full with above the boss logo would make a really precise and comfy tuner with no fancy matrix display. Like the olf 19" rack tuners I miss.
Great review, hope your son gets well soon mate :)
Thank you John!
Awesome. 🤙🤙
Edit: just got one, cant wait for it to come in the mail. 🤙🤙
Can you use a Bluetooth earbuds with it or just wired? It seems if one can’t use Bluetooth headphones would be the biggest omission and a complete deal killer for many.
That's a really neat little thingy! Will definitely give it a try.
One thing that comes to mind in terms of longevity: is it possible to use the device WHILE charging or did they disable that feature? While the 5h battery might last long enough now, no one knows if it will a couple years down the line. The one thing I absolutely hate about wireless earbuds. In contrast to them you might actually be able to replace the battery with this device (at least in theory), in practice no one is going to bother or there won't be proper replacements.
Great video. (as always) and something I’m very interested in, but I do have two questions. First does it take both Katana MK 1 and MK 2 presets? Second does it support Bluetooth headphones? I’m assuming it will not support multiple Bluetooth devices at the same time, but if I can get everything set up with my phone, then switch over to wireless headphones - that would make it perfect for me.
Nice from Boss adding another Katana to their lineup. Does it also work as a full interface and is it usable with i.e. Amplitube?
For Katana mk3 I would want Bluetooth (even if an option with the plugin module), stereo line out and, preferably, an FX loop on all models.
I'm that bass player who watches your channel. Helloooo 👋
Hey there! You are very welcome here
Hey Andy, great video for a great product. Does this have the eq like the Katana? That feature really open up this amp for all genres
Hey! Yeah it has the EQ too
Good review. I like these headphone amps. I have a NUX Mighty Plug, and its biggest flaw is lack of a tuner. Duh?!!! I've been waiting for an upgrade to the app, but nothing.
The wireless controller pedal looks to be quite a sweet accessory, and takes these devices from "good enough" practice gizmos to a possible preferred minimalist performing rig. Multi-fx rigs can sound great through a decent house PA.
Great review, Waza Air does have a tuner, but via the app.
…. Which makes sense as headphones are on your head:)
Very informative review, Andy. Do you know if I can use session mode to play along with mp3 files I have on my phone rather than UA-cam videos? The ability to choose songs from my internal song library and slow them down as well as select and repeat certain section would be enormously helpful to me.
Great demo as always. Now it would be nice to compare the Katana Go with the NUX Mighty Plug Pro. The NUX as darn good algorithms...
What is the latency when using as a computer interface? Love the video, btw.
Thanks for the wonderfully informative video. Could you please share what the little box is that you plugged the guitar cable into and the the Boss unit into ? Thanks in advance
Kool review! I've been a Boss fan for many years. FYI the symbol on the package is a generic one for 'knife' or 'sword'.
Question please-you plugged it into 'this little box'. What is the little box?
+1000 on using the second stereo USB channel for DI that would be awesome! @BOSS firmware upgrade feature please! Great review answered many questions I haven't been able to get clarified elsewhere.
Great video. Got mine yesterday. Great product for the $$$.
If I have one complaint with the Katana Go it's that there isn't a Drum Machine Feature like the Nux and Flamma mini HP amps have. Big omission
Its got a tuner!!!! Yay!
The biggest thing for me, that you can stream to your wireless headphones. That is the one thing my Spark Go can't do that I want it to!
He said wireless? He's using wired earbuds
@@GTSViperman boo, thought it was wireless for some reason
A Bluetooth connection out to connect to wireless headphones would make it a winner for me. To date, none of these little amps does that. Why not?
Latency
I've been playing a Boss Katana twin last 4 years, through choice, I have Marshall and Vox valve amps, which I rarely use now, I can rock up with the Katana, 2 guitars in one trip from the Car, fantastic amp, having all that in a headphone amp, is kinda nuts, this tech is now getting silly, good video, very well explained and I know you dont BS, just because they are paying you. Do you ever play Gigs Andy?
Hi Andy! I love and trust your gear demos. But now look what you've done. You've given me GAS again, you!
Although I do not need this item, your video leaves me wanting this item.
We shall see if i purchase this item in the future.
I am truly sorry.
It's a great time to be a guitar player :)
Great video. I'm super psyched about the Go!! @AndyGuitarGeek how does it sound compared to the other Katana models?
Sounds about the same! Certainly sounds great that’s for sure.
Basically this is the solution I was waiting for.
Awesome review as always! You mentioned that presets are compatible with other Katana MKII family. Does it mean that this tiny supports also SneakyAmps?
Thank you. I’m not sure about the sneaky Amps as I don’t use them myself.
stage feel 1 is amazing
I think this is my favourite
