Authentic Katana sound
KATANA:GO powers your sessions with the authentic sounds of the best-selling Katana stage amplifier range. Guitar mode features 10 unique amp characters, including a clean, a crunch, the high-gain BOSS Brown type, two characters optimized for acoustic/electric guitar, and much more. A dedicated bass mode also offers Vintage, Modern, and Flat types, taken directly from the Katana Bass amps. Each mode includes a massive library of BOSS effects to explore, with deep sound customization available in the BOSS Tone Studio app for iOS and Android.
Immersive stage sound
The innovative Stage Feel function in the KATANA:GO provides an immersive playing experience using BOSS’s advanced spatial technology. Presets allow you to position the amp and backing music at different spots in the sound field, creating the feel of playing with a backline on stage or jamming with friends. It is even possible to customize the sound field using the intuitive tools in BOSS Tone Studio.
Unlimited inspiration
The guitar and bass modes in KATANA:GO each feature 30 memories filled with ready-to-play sounds. Through BOSS Tone Studio, you can edit preset memories, create sounds from scratch, or import Tone Setting memories created with professional-level Katana guitar and bass amps. The app also provides integrated access to BOSS Tone Exchange, where you can download pro-curated Livesets and share sounds with the global BOSS community.
Jam, practice, and learn
With the KATANA:GO and your smartphone, you have a complete mobile solution for optimizing your daily practice routines. Warm up by jamming along with songs from your music library. Then, use the powerful Session function in BOSS Tone Studio to sharpen your skills with YouTube learning content. Create song lists to build an organized routine and loops for focused study. You can even set timestamps and configure the KATANA:GO to automatically switch memories while playing along with YouTube backing tracks!
Recording and streaming
Versatile and capable, the KATANA:GO also functions as a USB audio interface for music production and online content creation on a computer or mobile device. Record professional Katana tones in DAW software. You can also connect to your favorite social media and video capture apps and share your guitar skills with the world.
