Boss - Katana Air Wireless Guitar Amplifier

Lovely.Excellent sound (can't believe something this small can sound so good), can be used as a speaker and as an audio interface and can be controlled from the mobile app. It's completely wireless, you leave it plugged in and when you're ready to play you pick the guitar and you're done. No cables, no problems.It is a little expensive but it's pretty much all you need to play and record at home. And you can EASILY bring it around.Feel like playing in the streets? Put some batteries in and you're done.Want to play it using headphones? Go for it, the sound will be exactly the same as you hear it from the speakers.Need to move to the other side of the world? Put it in your luggage, it fits and it's light.Couldn't be happier.

Overall: Perfect amplifier for home use - sounds great, the wireless jack works brilliantly and the software is easy to use. Would be 5 stars but it's expensive compared to similar amps and the bluetooth connection (for the app or streaming music) is occasionally flakey.Pros:- The core amp models and effects all sound great. Significantly better sounds than my previous Vox DA5 amp.- Wireless guitar jack system seems to work really well - no latency, long range.- Works pretty well as a dedicated bluetooth music playback device.- The app is very intuitive - the default effect settings seem to be well configured to give a good sound but there's lots of in-depth options for tweaking as well.Cons:- More expensive than similar specced amps (yamaha THR, vox ... MoreOverall: Perfect amplifier for home use - sounds great, the wireless jack works brilliantly and the software is easy to use.

Either needing to reconnect or music skipping when the phone is moved around.- At present no PC/Mac equivalent app for controlling the amp.- Would be nice to have some EQ settings for the music playback.

Awesome

It’s very useful as a practice amp. It sounds good enough to satisfy me. it’s easy to carry around the house. With the wireless you can easily sit in any chair, lay on the bed and play move around, walk around the house. Not something you are going to take gigging and I wouldn’t record anything with it but for practice it’s worth it’s weight in gold

Boss Katana Air

This is the best practice amp I’ve ever played through. Very little tweaking to get a great sound at a manageable volume - that being said, this thing is loud! The wireless capabilities make practice super efficient when you’re short on time. Highly recommended and comes with the wireless adaptor.

Power of convenience

This is my go-to amp for practice. Completely wireless, great set of sounds out of it. Truth be told I’ve barely touched the sounds app once I’d dialled in a good crunch tone. Bluetooth for backing tracks is also great as you can play along at a reasonable volume which helps with my time keeping haha. Yes you are paying for convenience but it does certainly take a lot of headache out of setting up for practice. Great little amp.

Review of BOSS KTN-AIR Katana Air

Every guitarist in the world who plays electric guitar wants one of these and no wonder. I’m just lucky enough to have one.Ok the price is steep but the sound and portability make it a must have.The Boss Tone Studio app that accompanies the amp takes a bit of getting used to and needs some work but overall, money well spent.After submitting my review earlier, I just downgraded to 4 stars, the reason being that while practicing scales my guitar was being held in one position and the amp went into standby which I have set at 5 minutes.I had assumed that if it was receiving a signal this would not happen but apparently the transmitter has to move to activate and sustain the on signal.Hopefully Roland know about this and can patch the firmware.

Review of Boss Katana Air Wireless Guitar Amp with Transmitter

A fantastic amp- was undecided between this, yamaha and vox. I'm a yamaha guitar person so know yamaha would be good but lacked full tonal range, without buying all 3 thr and the vox is more click a sound, click an effect and that's about as deep as you can go excluding a few odd tweeks on each.. plus yamaha and vox either not wireless or only partly with the vox being Bluetooth.The air is amazing with 50 plus really useful effects and now 4 can be used at any one time.plus up to 3 pages of adjustments for each effect and the ability to arrange the sound chain. This allows the air to produce any sound you want with great tone and loud enough to fill a 14x14 foot room.If you want to just click a sound and effect you can do, making it easy or go to virtually ... MoreA fantastic amp- was undecided between this, yamaha and vox.

Went into music shop the other day and it hit me that these big old tube amps just look like dinosaurs all of a sudden.Wireless works perfectly and Bluetooth stable and with app giving infinite sounds and once Bluetooth paired no need to touch the amp again. It's easy to start to play.Tones -with my eyes closed can match my hughes and kettner valve amp no problem.if you want to gig just add an frfr speaker from line out and choose output cab settings. No mucking about with amps pedals etc which I couldn't be bothered to do.Literally a perfec amp for me and won't be going back. Not sure why Internet has some weak reviews it's brilliantly good.
