BOSS has introduced an ultra-compact headphone amplifier for daily jams with a guitar or bass.

KATANA:GO puts authentic sounds from the stage-class BOSS Katana amp series at the instrument’s output jack, paired with wireless music streaming, sound editing, and learning tools on the user’s smartphone. Advanced spatial technology provides a rich 3D audio experience, while BOSS Tone Exchange offers an infinite sound library to explore any musical style.

KATANA:GO delivers premium sound for everyday playing without the hassle of amps, pedals, and computer interfaces. Simply plug it in, connect earbuds or headphones, call up a memory, and start rocking. Onboard controls provide access to volume, memory selection, and other essential functions, and you can easily view the current memory and tuner with the built-in display. The rechargeable battery provides up to five hours of continuous playing time, and the integrated 1/4-inch plug folds down to create a pocket-size package that’s ready to travel anywhere.
