Another £120 I didn’t know I needed to spend! Damn you Andertons…. Ultimate salesmen when they can convince you to hand over money on something you didn’t even know you needed. Awesome video and outstanding product! This is gonna be epic for busking into my Bose S1Pro+ alongside the mic input. Ultimate busking setup.
@@MrSJBGuitar Hmmm i don't know! He said something about it being "Danish Pete's loop on CZcams" but I didn't pay attention 😂 I was too absorbed with his playing
@@MrSJBGuitar not sure if you still need this... but the backing track you were looking for is called "Holding The Groove" which was made by Danish Pete. it's on youtube with a bunch of other great tracks he made. Enjoy :)
Never in all the years of watching Andertons videos have I ever had a “Shut Up And Take My Money” moment …..until now! I bought this thing long before the video ended!This will make my short evening practice sessions so much easier to set up, which will help me to practice more. Thank you Boss!
Depends on your setup and what type of player you are but I go from my amp into a loadbox into my interface out of either studio monitors or headphones. Its not as portable as this of course but it sounds great.
Same here. Watched a PMT video and was like….blimey that sounds good…..Bluetooth backing tracks….only thing I want is ability to dry signal to MacBook via usb
This is one of those monumental products that is going to be looked back at in the future as a pivotal iconic device that was a game changer. Will definitely be doing a video of this on my CZcams channel. Superb, well done
Great playing! This is a strong offering from Boss. I have the NUX might plug pro and I have to say it's a great practicing to small gigs tool (output to a "boombox" for basking anyone?). Main differences are: nux 7 presets vs katana 30. Nux Pros: * Nux has a much more flexible effect chain, more amps/fx/IRs. * Nux has 19 or so slots for your own IRs. * It has similar Session functionality (automatic preset switching, only local mp3 files, no youtube), it's a bit expanded because you can have multiple setlist on the NUX. So you can have a setlists of 10+ songs, all queued with automatic switching. * Nux many usb settings, to reamp, record dry out, live stream :-0 ???? Nux cons: * I had to use a 3rd party app to take advantage of all the NUX features, * clean sounding amps need some work. * exchanging tones is a bit clunky Katana Pros: * The katana clean sound sounds really good off the bat (in the youtube demos) * stage feel sounds really cool as well (in the youtube demos) * Boss approved footswitch that connects directly to the plug. With the Nux the footswitch connects to the phone, not the plug, so you need to keep the phone open with the app in the foreground for the footswitch to work. * tone exchange (Coming soon June 2024) Katana Cons: * In order to load a youtube video in the session list you need to copy and paste the url from the browser to the app. No biggie I don't have one so I can't speak about what parts of it don't work as advertised. I think with slightly less features it's going to be more likely to have less opportunity for things to not work as you'd think. They both are banging products for as long as the phone apps work. I don't think you can go wrong with either one
These guys "sold" me on the Fender Mustang Micro awhile back . As a current apartment dweller , these headphone amps are waay cool, as they prevent the neighbors from acting crazy ... As a Katana owner, I guess these little guys (like the biggie Katanas ,) do waay more stuff than I know how to use . Although I am happy with the Fender product, I will probably score one of these Boss guys later this year ...
Literally ordered one, halfway through this video from Andertons. I had some loyalty points itching to be used. Can't wait to play through this over the weekend.
Lol, kinda every boss pedal I've owned cracks, pops, and needs resoldered after 2 years....and every Toyota I've driven is noisy, full of cheap terrible plastic and sounds like it could fall apart at any moment.
@@trevorD1156 Which is crazy to me because I own early 2000's boss pedals that get used all the time that are perfect, have driven may Toyota's with well over half a million kms on them that are tight as. If you're American though, you don't get the good Toyota's.
I've never owned a boss pedal that didn't need resoldered, or one that I actually used regularly which makes it even more pathetic. The rest of my pedals are made by joyo, tc electronics , or Donner, all of which I prefer and have never had to open for any reason. I just had my ds1 out comparing it to models of it in amp sims and the sims all sound much better than the real thing.
@@trevorD1156 definitely haven't had that experience. With your amp sim situation though running a produced amp sim through a set of speakers will never ever sound the same as running the same real life rig. It's the same argument people make about Marshall amps sounding thin because they're so use to running software that has a produced quality and sounds huge which just isn't the case in real life.
Ordered one. The ability to practice in silence with the minimum fuss and play along with music is exactly what i want to be able to do. I can do this with a Spark and a set of headphones but this is way more portable and convenient. Just one wire to the headphones and you are off. Sounds great too on the demo.
I have to say - I love Danish Pete’s playing. I’ve been watching you guys for ages now, and I love the reviews (cheers Captain!) but Pete - your taste and feel are great. I’m not even angling for a discount either! 😂😂
Bought one after watching this and other videos...then bought two more as gifts...then a backup for myself when Boss announced they were ceasing production on this version of the unit! My guess is they sold even more of these than they had anticipated, realized they should have made it more cheaply, priced it higher, or both, then decided to retool into whatever next iteration awaits. All I can say is, glad I have this one, it's crazy cool!
@@hardlines2635 a practice amp is not complete without a Looper. I have the Nux Muighty Plug which also good , it has a drum but my dislike is it doesnt have a looper. I would go for the Mooer Prime P2 just bccoz it has a drum machine that synchrozses with the looper. All these new School Pocket Amps sound good. The only reason Id take the Mooer Prime P2 is the Drum Syncing with looper feature.
I bought one of those first Vox ones back when they came out, man technology these days is great! Nice playing in that intro Pete and Lee is soo much better now.
When Katana Go first came out I was looking for information about it and I completely skipped over Pete's soloing. I Just heard it and must say that it was simply great. Well done Pete.
Fantastic playing from Pete! 😎 The Katana:Go seems really good (compatibility with other Katana amps is a big plus for me). If only Boss had brought this out 6 months ago I'd almost certainly opt for it, but now I have a NUX that does everything I need for now.
Just to let you know, when you were adjusting the 'Stage Feel' settings, I was able to discern all the changes when listening through the surround sound setup on my computer. Probably not as much as through headphones, but the changes were very clear through my setup. I guess I will have to get one of these, in fact I'd have already ordered one if they were not sold out at my local shop here in Montreal. LOL
@@ethanpunto9222 Possibly, but considering they are in England and I am in Canada, I would expect the shipping to be relatively expensive, not to mention quite slow. By the time they would fill my order, the product will be back in stock at my regular spot. Besides, I have already been in contact with my buddies at Long & McQuade, and they will have them in stock very soon.
I guess you can connect Go to your phone/computer via usb c cable then use your wireless headphones like that. Either way cable will have to be involved somewhere. Perhaps next generation will have full wireless feature.
A more realistic stage feel would be straining to hear yourself and the singer over the drummer while trying to work if it’s you or the bassist that has got this chord progression wrong
Bluetooth just can't handle realtime audio, so there would be too much latency for bluetooth headphones. For backing tracks the latency doesn't matter and videos have lag compensation, which is used to sync the video and the audio.
@@andertons might also be true that bluetooth cant send and receive bluetooth audio at the same time. I can't think of any device that supports that, so there are multiple disadvantages with bluetooth format
@@cirisirpula152 no problems sending and receiving, bluetooth headsets provide that with microphone and earphones - your original explaination is spot on though
Got mine yesterday. This is one of those products where somebody finally got everything right. Including the price. There is nothing I wish it would do that it doesn’t. Pair it with your phone, and you not only control it with the app, it will play back audio to the device over Bluetooth for playing along with tracks. It has Bluetooth audio and MIDI. It functions as an audio interface to record the output with your DAW. This is the perfect modern practice amp. The only thing I can say negative about it is that unless there’s something I haven’t figured out, “stage feel” is underwhelming. The available reverbs are much better. The presets are also slightly mediocre, and if you edit your own preset, it can sound much better. But the quality of the modeling is as good as any, and the tiny size is right. The minimum you need is the device and headphones, and you are practicing anywhere, walking around freely. Add the phone, and you get editing and backing tracks. Plug into your computer, and you’re recording. I’m not someone who’s willing to trade a tube amp for modeling, and I have a M/B MarkVII for when I want to get serious. But this is the convenience factor and price I needed as a compliment. Cannot complain. I think this thing is going to sell huge. This is the ideal thing for a beginner who’s learning, or a pro who wants to practice conveniently.
Literally in the same boat, got the mustang micro, and found the recording off it into the DAW very underwhelming when it came to the volume output, then this came out... not to mention my main rig is an mkII......
that improv by pete in the beginning was juicy as fuck, usually totally not my style, im more of a death metal kind of guy, but that was a vibe and a half
I have one of the original Katana 50 watt amps. Love it. This is great they use the same presets. I'm not allowed to bring the 50 to the living room this Katana Go my gain entry.
So - to clarify - to play like Pete, all I need to do is part with just £100 and I'm sorted? Great - just wanted to clarify :))) Great playing, as always, and once again entertaining just listening into you 2 as you demo gear.
Very enjoyable musicianship. Noticed you mentioned a couple of times , to wear headphones. Perhaps , you know this already, some of us are using large screens and AVR's. So we appreciate the video/audio quality of your episodes. Great product, I think I'll get one, since I own and use a K2 100. Cheers.
Bought a Mustang Micro at launch and still love it. The only thing that puts me off the Katana is the app, pretty much abandoned my Spark as I just couldn't be bothered. That said, I will buy one of these along with the Line 6 Pod Express because I don't have enough gear already 😂 Seriously though, I'm sold on the tones, and at the price, I need one. IF ONLY GEAR THIS GOOD WAS AROUND WHEN I WAS A KID lol 😂
Happy times for us music makers and axe neck wrestlers ... Me was into the VOX Amplugs like 10 ago and they worked ... made me happy practicing@night BUT this is quite some quantum leap ... well done BOSS Thanks a lot for sharing ... great demo
As much as people sometimes hate using apps, I think Fender really significantly limited the mustang micro by not having one for a headphone amp specifically to me. Not only is it nice to have an optional way to do a LOT more with your tone and FX. On top of that with how MASSIVELY variable the sound signature is of different sets of headphones or speakers you might plug this into, you really need to be able to have more fine control of even just your EQ than Fender gives you with just a few EQ presets. I've used the Nux headphone amp, and you can set up a sound that is great on one set of headphones, but when you then use that same sound on different headphones or speakers can sound absolutely terrible and you need to adjust it to be usable. With the Fender, you're stuck with what they give you so your option would be just to either play a bad sound, buy new headphones and hope your options sound good through those, or buy an EQ pedal to plug it into and bring that with you everywhere haha.
Sounds great! However, the best part of the video was Pete telling Lee not to bury his head in the sand so an ostrich wouldn't sneak up behind him and fall in love....I'm still laughing.......So funny!
If Anderton's wants to make an incredibly useful CZcams short, spend a few minutes plugging the Katana Go into non-standard jacks for guitars like the Ibanez S series and other guitars that use more modern jack openings. Also, plug it into strat guitars with trem arms attached to see how flat the unit can lay so as not to impede whammy arm use. :D
Exactly. I know this because I play many Ibanez S series axes and others and have also been using low to mid priced wireless guitar systems at home for years. @@zoeherriot
We did try it on a few guitars & you do see a few sweeps of those shots in this video - we tried it in the recessed socket on an Ibanez AZ model & it fitted fine. But I've passed your comment on to the video shorts team, so you never know....
I specifically told myself that if this is under 200 bucks I’ll get it. Guess I have to get it. 😂 but I’ve been looking for something like this but other ones haven’t appealed to me that much. This one looks dope!
I hit the play button on this video with the usual giddy anticipation that has become the norm for viewing Andertons releases. However, nothing could have prepared me for the life lesson on amorous ostriches!
Theres another bluetooth latecny issue with looping... the split second delay from hitting a bluetooth footswitch to start/stop the looper just wouldn't work
My CZcams has exploded Boss have jumped on the band wagon at the wrong point. They needed to step in at the next gen with Bluetooth and preset editing Mustang and Nux especially already doing this in the space. The embargo lift sent my CZcams notifications mental lol
Anderton's charged £10 delivery to my part of the UK so sadly I ordered elsewhere as it was only 1.50 delivery from another company, hopefully in future they can get more realistic delivery costs!
So I love these things. I have the blackstar fly2, I've tried the mini mustang, the classic rock vox, and most recently the Flamma FX10. They're all great. This one looks pretty good, but for my own use, I dont want a companion app and I dont want to haul around a footswitch. The best one I've found for literally a standalone headphone amp experince is the Flamma FX10. Great sounds and effects, plus some pretty decent drum loops. They've come out with an upgraded version with more of everything, but it requires a companion app to access a little less than half of them. No thanks, but if youre into that sort of thing, give it a whirl.
Fender needs to release a ToneMaster Micro that has an app, and goes into a guitar better without risk of breakage. The Fender Mustang Micro sounds fantastic. It just needed an app.
This seems really cool. Headphone playing is most of what I do though an AmPlug Clean. Trick is once you add in the foot pedal you're now up in amongst the Valeton range. Given that wires are involved in both, I am wondering which would suit me better. It would almost be easier if the pedal wasn't an option!
It is impossible to play guitar and use bluetooth headphones to hear it without lag. When you use bluetooth headphones with you cellphone, it calculates how much delay there is in the connection, and then DELAYS the video so that the delayed audio will sync up with it. If you ever try plugging a bluetooth transmitter into the Headphone jack on your amp, you will see this - there is like a 1-second delay every time you play a note.
Everything always sounds good in their videos. Skilled players + great knowledge of how to set things up. Also we are basically watching a commercial. An entertaining one, but in the end still a commercial.
Mine arrived today , all good ! The Stage effect isn’t that amazing to be honest , but adds a nice ambience to the sound . Only fx which is stereo is the stereo delay , and only works in stereo when the Stage setting is off , so , sadly no lush head swirling chorus’s or Flangers but the delay / s is are great , simple to use and very nice sounds , especially the overdrives . Great to play along to music / backing tracks etc . Well done Boss !
Headphone amps aren’t a new thing, I’ve had a few over the years. The vox amplug, the Blackstar, even the fender mustang micro which I actually didn’t like, found it to fiddly. Currently have the nux mighty plug pro which is pretty good and is probably the best one out there until now. Boss have absolutely nailed it with this, the tones sound amazing even before using the stage feature, the app looks way better now to and with all the other features it has as well this is definitely the new king of plug in headphone amps. Mine is on its way as I write this 👍

Pete is the best. He has become one of my all time favorite guitar players.

No Drum Machine/Metronome Feature is this units only draw back for practicing and jamming
bought one of these and love it.
Cool Unit. Surprised Boss omitted a Drum Machine/Metronome which the NUX does have. Would have made this KATANA Go a Home Run

... It is to laugh😊
Haven’t watched anything from Andertons for a few years and instantly started laughing. Glad to see nothing has changed 🤣

That's all very well, but Pete can make a torn-cone 70s radio speaker sound good. You should try it with a mortal playing.
on a new version on a later upgrade, I hope a looper is included natively in the katana go, that can be controlled by the footswitch

Pete - and a Mrs B, and Mrs C...
LOL Pete's quite witty 😂
Just fantastic playing Pete, great info on the product
Missed opportunity Pete started the top gun theme and stopped I got so excited
I have one of the original Katana 50 watt amps. Love it. This is great they use the same presets. I'm not allowed to bring the 50 to the living room this Katana Go my gain entry.
So - to clarify - to play like Pete, all I need to do is part with just £100 and I'm sorted? Great - just wanted to clarify :))) Great playing, as always, and once again entertaining just listening into you 2 as you demo gear.
100% thats all you need to do :)
Very enjoyable musicianship. Noticed you mentioned a couple of times , to wear headphones. Perhaps , you know this already, some of us are using large screens and AVR's. So we appreciate the video/audio quality of your episodes. Great product, I think I'll get one, since I own and use a K2 100. Cheers.
Bought a Mustang Micro at launch and still love it. The only thing that puts me off the Katana is the app, pretty much abandoned my Spark as I just couldn't be bothered. That said, I will buy one of these along with the Line 6 Pod Express because I don't have enough gear already 😂 Seriously though, I'm sold on the tones, and at the price, I need one. IF ONLY GEAR THIS GOOD WAS AROUND WHEN I WAS A KID lol 😂
And, I'll wait for the Version 2 with all the bugs fixed and extra features 😁
You folks are wonderful. I adore the videos and the banter between you two. If I wasn't across the pond, I would love to visit the store!
I’ve used BOSS/Roland gear all my life.
My Tone Studio has so many amps I’ve added to use with this!
Happy times for us music makers and axe neck wrestlers ...
Me was into the VOX Amplugs like 10 ago and they worked ... made me happy practicing@night
BUT this is quite some quantum leap ... well done BOSS
Thanks a lot for sharing ... great demo
It's like I went to sleep and one of my dreams actually came true!
Pete I’m going to be stealing those licks ! Just got my Katana Go today 👍
As much as people sometimes hate using apps, I think Fender really significantly limited the mustang micro by not having one for a headphone amp specifically to me. Not only is it nice to have an optional way to do a LOT more with your tone and FX. On top of that with how MASSIVELY variable the sound signature is of different sets of headphones or speakers you might plug this into, you really need to be able to have more fine control of even just your EQ than Fender gives you with just a few EQ presets. I've used the Nux headphone amp, and you can set up a sound that is great on one set of headphones, but when you then use that same sound on different headphones or speakers can sound absolutely terrible and you need to adjust it to be usable. With the Fender, you're stuck with what they give you so your option would be just to either play a bad sound, buy new headphones and hope your options sound good through those, or buy an EQ pedal to plug it into and bring that with you everywhere haha.
BOSS is the boss...again!
What an opening jam! And Cap's play out!
Sounds great! However, the best part of the video was Pete telling Lee not to bury his head in the sand so an ostrich wouldn't sneak up behind him and fall in love....I'm still laughing.......So funny!
Thouough run through of the Katana Go. Really appreciate the time stamps.
If Anderton's wants to make an incredibly useful CZcams short, spend a few minutes plugging the Katana Go into non-standard jacks for guitars like the Ibanez S series and other guitars that use more modern jack openings. Also, plug it into strat guitars with trem arms attached to see how flat the unit can lay so as not to impede whammy arm use. :D
Yeah, you really need a little extension cable - the Fender one didn't fit into half of my guitars. lol.
Exactly. I know this because I play many Ibanez S series axes and others and have also been using low to mid priced wireless guitar systems at home for years. @@zoeherriot
We did try it on a few guitars & you do see a few sweeps of those shots in this video - we tried it in the recessed socket on an Ibanez AZ model & it fitted fine. But I've passed your comment on to the video shorts team, so you never know....
@@andertons good to know - thanks!
Thanks Cap! @@andertons
The NuX version is SO good! It’s very reasonably priced and the tones and app are very easy to use!
Great demo guys🎸👍
Yeah, I'm sold. Add that to my gear collection. That is awesome
I specifically told myself that if this is under 200 bucks I’ll get it. Guess I have to get it. 😂 but I’ve been looking for something like this but other ones haven’t appealed to me that much. This one looks dope!
I’m ok with my mustang micro for practicing but I can see they improved these devices a lot
Really amazed at how good this sounds! For £100?!?!
Man, this thing is going to sell out like crazy. This is awesome. I'll probably get this for my sister who is wanting to learn guitar
Yup - we'll be sold out by tonight/tomorrow I reckon... and we ordered A LOT!
I hit the play button on this video with the usual giddy anticipation that has become the norm for viewing Andertons releases. However, nothing could have prepared me for the life lesson on amorous ostriches!
I don't know how they would implement it, but a looper would be next level in this device!
Theres another bluetooth latecny issue with looping... the split second delay from hitting a bluetooth footswitch to start/stop the looper just wouldn't work
You can probably use a separate looper. Guitar > looper > boss > heaphones. Of course build in would be even easier, but this is still pretty simple.
I’ve got the Mustang Micro from Fender and I love it. My family too 😂
It's awesome. The Bluetooth feature is what sold me on it initially.
I want this badly
No better way to start the day than Pete doing “Muppets on bass”😂😂😂😂
Pete that solo was so good 16:07
My CZcams has exploded
Boss have jumped on the band wagon at the wrong point. They needed to step in at the next gen with Bluetooth and preset editing
Mustang and Nux especially already doing this in the space.
The embargo lift sent my CZcams notifications mental lol
The Waza Air already does all that. Has done for years.
(And this does have preset-editing).
Yeah, this does feel five years too late - it's a crowded market and the Katana name alone doesn't do enough to stand out.
Anderton's charged £10 delivery to my part of the UK so sadly I ordered elsewhere as it was only 1.50 delivery from another company, hopefully in future they can get more realistic delivery costs!
So I love these things. I have the blackstar fly2, I've tried the mini mustang, the classic rock vox, and most recently the Flamma FX10.
They're all great. This one looks pretty good, but for my own use, I dont want a companion app and I dont want to haul around a footswitch.
The best one I've found for literally a standalone headphone amp experince is the Flamma FX10. Great sounds and effects, plus some pretty decent drum loops.
They've come out with an upgraded version with more of everything, but it requires a companion app to access a little less than half of them. No thanks, but if youre into that sort of thing, give it a whirl.
That backing track is fire.
Fender needs to release a ToneMaster Micro that has an app, and goes into a guitar better without risk of breakage. The Fender Mustang Micro sounds fantastic. It just needed an app.
How can a tiny thing sound so good..
He practices a lot 😅
Great playing, yes. But also, software simulation.
Great solo Pete!!!
I JUST bought the Waza Air! I wonder if this had been brought out a week earlier whether I would have still bought the Waza Air..
I did too.
I like the no chord deal tho.
I wanna plug this into my Katana Mini's 3.5mm jack for a REAL Katana Mini
This seems really cool. Headphone playing is most of what I do though an AmPlug Clean. Trick is once you add in the foot pedal you're now up in amongst the Valeton range. Given that wires are involved in both, I am wondering which would suit me better. It would almost be easier if the pedal wasn't an option!
It is impossible to play guitar and use bluetooth headphones to hear it without lag. When you use bluetooth headphones with you cellphone, it calculates how much delay there is in the connection, and then DELAYS the video so that the delayed audio will sync up with it.
If you ever try plugging a bluetooth transmitter into the Headphone jack on your amp, you will see this - there is like a 1-second delay every time you play a note.
"Are you OK?" laffffffoutLOUDDDDD
I think Pete's chapman signature could give his purple tele a run for its money, always sounds good in their videos
Everything always sounds good in their videos. Skilled players + great knowledge of how to set things up. Also we are basically watching a commercial. An entertaining one, but in the end still a commercial.
Yup - thats the idea - the Chapman DPT is very much a guitar that Pete designed as an affordable alternative to his Custom Shop Tele
Mine arrived today , all good ! The Stage effect isn’t that amazing to be honest , but adds a nice ambience to the sound . Only fx which is stereo is the stereo delay , and only works in stereo when the Stage setting is off , so , sadly no lush head swirling chorus’s or Flangers but the delay / s is are great , simple to use and very nice sounds , especially the overdrives . Great to play along to music / backing tracks etc . Well done Boss !
Can you tell me if there’s a clean direct bass signal option like the Fender Mustang offers?
Superb sound really impressed. Great playing as well👌
Can you use this excellent Boss Katana product as a recording interface?
Great playing as always Pete 🙏
Yes - via the USB C output
Thank you 🙏
Headphone amps aren’t a new thing, I’ve had a few over the years. The vox amplug, the Blackstar, even the fender mustang micro which I actually didn’t like, found it to fiddly. Currently have the nux mighty plug pro which is pretty good and is probably the best one out there until now. Boss have absolutely nailed it with this, the tones sound amazing even before using the stage feature, the app looks way better now to and with all the other features it has as well this is definitely the new king of plug in headphone amps. Mine is on its way as I write this 👍
I’ve got the fender one an think it’s time to upgrade to this one
I wonder if there's a metronome built in? If yes, the unit is really well rounded for practice. If not, it's a shame) Love stuff from Boss
