Boss KTN-MINI Katana 7-Watt Mini Amplifier

BOSS Katana amps have been praised by guitarists everywhere for their sound and feel, onboard effects, and value. The Katana-Mini takes that same DNA and shrinks it into a go-anywhere amp that runs on six AA batteries — without the so-so tone most mini amps settle for. An authentic multi-stage analog gain circuit, a real three-band analog tone stack, and an onboard tape-style delay give you big, expressive sound from a 7-watt package you can carry in one hand.

The all-analog input circuitry uses multiple cascaded gain stages, the same approach found in high-end amp designs, feeding three classic sound settings. Brown is derived from a core amp character in the Katana stage models and delivers expressive high-gain tones rich with harmonics for heavy riffs and soaring solos. Crunch handles rock rhythms and bluesy leads, and Clean offers crisp, sparkling tones with punchy dynamic response. Distortion cleans up or digs in depending on your input volume and picking strength, so the amp responds like a much bigger rig.

Where most small amps give you a token EQ, the Katana-Mini has a genuine three-band analog tone stack with familiar bass, mid, and treble controls for natural sound shaping. The tape-style delay adds another dimension, with dedicated time and level knobs that cover everything from subtle reverb-like ambience to long, warm repeats.

BOSS packed in a custom speaker, advanced hardware, refined circuitry, and carefully chosen components to get maximum sound quality out of a minimum footprint, along with decades of energy-efficient design research that gets real power and punch out of six AA cells. At 2 lbs 11 oz with an integrated handle, it sits easily on a tabletop or heads outdoors with you. The aux input lets you jam along with your phone, and the phones/recording output features special cabinet voicing for authentic mic'd amp tone when you're practicing quietly or tracking.
