Introducing the NEW Keeley Katana Clean Boost in a new “Throwback White” colorway!
Our Katana Clean Boost is back and better than ever! Reimagined while returning to our roots. We listened to what our players wanted and went back to our roots.
The new Katana uses the original JFETs that made the original so special. We used the same component values as the original Katana and updated the Boost mode to deliver a more robust and clear sound, giving more clarity to bass notes when engaged. We've updated the construction with modern construction techniques to make this Katana the most reliable Clean Boost on the market, including an updated aluminum control knob designed to adjust on the fly.
DO YOU WANT A MIRROR IMAGE OF YOUR TONE, ONLY STRONGER? Move the volume knob forward with your foot and you'll be good to go! NEED MORE? The Katana Boost is also a big harmonic-rich boost, just pull the volume knob and push the limits with overdriven sound! You can keep it on all the time to push your amp harder, or as an occasional boost to cut through the mix.
The Katana circuit is Robert Keeley's first guitar effects design for Keeley Electronics. It was originally made as part of Time Machine Boost, but later became an independent product under the Keeley name after the release of the original Keeley Compressor.
WE ARE PROUD TO OFFER YOU THE BEST KATANA EVER.
Two modes, Pure Clean and High Gain
1. With the speed button pressed, think of it as a volume control up to 20.
2. With the speed knob removed, it's a cutting boost with some gain. Not quite an overdrive, just overdriven tube grain and a benefit to your sound.
The Katana Clean Boost offers two modes. Pull the control knob for an extra +30 dB boost – This will make your signal sing!
Doubling of voltage
Two FETs for tube-like sound in a solid-state design. Doubled the power inside, so you put in 9V DC, and we use a charge pump to almost double the operating voltage! (Caution – Maximum input voltage 9 volts DC (don't try to put 18 volts into the unit and hope the doubler will give it 36 VDC!)
What do higher supply voltage rails mean?! -> SUPER CLEAN HIGH HEIGHT BOOST! Pull the Level knob to toggle -> Tube type gain! THE EDGE!!!!
The Katana circuit is Robert Keeley's first effects design for Keeley. When it comes to clean boosts, the Katana is KING TONE!
