Boss Katana Air 30W 2X3"

Katana-Air: The Katana Spirit in an Ultra-Mobile Format

The BOSS Katana-Air was designed as a natural extension of the Katana range: retaining the character and versatility that made the series famous, while breaking the usual constraints of a guitar amp. Its uniqueness lies in combining a compact format with a truly modern experience: zero cables on the guitar side, and the ability to play without relying on a power outlet.

An Amp Designed for Practice, Creation, and Playing Without Limits

The Katana-Air is aimed at guitarists from beginner to advanced who want an intuitive, inspiring amp that's quick to set up. It excels in home playing (controlled volume, small footprint), light rehearsals, and home studio use for laying down ideas without complex setup. Its versatility makes it comfortable across many styles: pop, rock, blues, funk, indie, and even more modern overdriven tones when you push the gain.

Controls, Sounds, and Ecosystem: A "Pro" Approach in Wireless Mode

Despite its size, the Katana-Air features a typical Katana sound architecture, with several amp characters ranging from clear, dynamic cleans to expressive crunches and denser distortions. The built-in effects let you shape a complete sound without a pedalboard, and wireless editing via the dedicated app makes organizing presets and settings easy. On the connectivity side, you have the essentials for efficient work: instrument input, auxiliary input for playing along with backing tracks, headphone/recording output, and USB for integration into your setup.

Sound

The BOSS Katana-Air is a modeling amp focused on feel: precise attack, good responsiveness to playing dynamics and guitar volume, with a palette ranging from clean tones with definition to punchy crunch, and more compressed, singing distortion for riffs and leads. The two 3-inch speakers prioritize clarity and balance at reasonable volume, perfect for working on rhythmic placement, nuances, and effects, while maintaining a pleasant daily sound.
