The BOSS Katana-Mini brings the acclaimed Katana sound to a highly portable, go-anywhere design. Guitarists everywhere love Katana amps for their feel, clarity, onboard effects, and outstanding value—and the Katana-Mini delivers that same inspiring character in a lightweight, battery-powered format you can take anywhere.

At home, on the road, or outdoors, the Katana-Mini makes serious tone accessible wherever you want to play.

The Katana-Mini is engineered to deliver full, rich tone with impressive volume and clarity. Its custom speaker, refined circuitry, carefully selected components, and energy-efficient design work together to create powerful sound from a tiny footprint. Even on battery power, it offers punchy, inspiring tone that encourages long practice sessions and spontaneous playing anywhere.
The all-analog input circuitry includes multiple gain stages, similar to high-end tube amp designs. Three classic Katana-style voices give you a wide range of tones:
Brown: High-gain, harmonic-rich tones perfect for heavy riffs and soaring leads
Crunch: Rock-ready overdrive ideal for rhythm work and bluesy solos
Clean: Clear, sparkling tones with dynamic punch
These voices react naturally to your picking strength and guitar volume, giving you expressive control just like a full-size amp.
Unlike many small amps with limited tone shaping, the Katana-Mini features a genuine three-band analog tone stack—Bass, Mid, and Treble—just like a stage amp. The onboard tape-style delay adds warm, musical ambience, easily adjustable from subtle space to long, lush repeats.
With its compact design, built-in handle, and battery operation, the Katana-Mini is ready for practice sessions outside, quick songwriting ideas, low-volume indoor playing, or travel. Use the aux input to jam with backing tracks or stream music, and switch to the phones/recording output when you want silent practice or direct recording with authentic mic’d cabinet tone.
The BOSS Katana-Mini delivers real Katana tone in a lightweight, travel-ready package that punches far above its size. With analog gain staging, versatile amp voicings, three-band EQ, tape-style delay, and battery-powered portability, it’s the perfect practice and take-anywhere amp for players who want inspiring sound wherever they go.
