Boss have confirmed that the Katana Go is going to be discontinued due to catastrophic issues with the supply of parts.

The guitar needs one more pickup

The entire guitar should be one giant magnet wrapped in copper.

The Katana Go is amazing. The simplicity and ease to just plug in and get started instantly is well worth the purchase. It has more than tripled my practice sessions! I use it more than I use my amp now. Amazing piece of kit

I had the Nux Mighty Plug Pro and it's been nice. I just got the Katana Go and this thing in my opinion destroys the competition. The sound, the features, being able to switch presets and access the tuner without using your phone is amazing.

Thank you sir. I also have the Mighty Plug Pro, which is AWESOME, but I’ve got the Katana Go in my Amazon cart just waiting to pull the trigger. Your recommendation has me firing away. THANKS!!!

Hello there, so in your opinion the katana go is better than the nux mighty plug pro in terms of sound ? thanks

@@fabioa.565 the sounds seem pretty comparable, both awesome. It’s the other features like the sweet display that put it a notch above the NuX. I have the Nux and LOVE it. Can’t go wrong with either. 😃

I got both. Their both AWESOME

After watching the video a couple weeks ago, i immediately purchased a Katana go and i've used it every single day since, its a fantastic piece of kit and I recommend it to anyone considering it!!

I have 2 marshall dsl 1 hr ...heads I run in stereo....I also have a prs mt15...it lives in the box...because it scares my dogs....so it has been banished back to the original box....it has maybe 10 hours runtime on it....I use my katana go more than anything else I own because... it goes with headphones so well...plus the sound is very ...very good....katana for the win !

I have both and to me there is no competition. The Boss is the Boss

I have the Fender and use it all the time when traveling or playing late at night. But I have to admit the Katana Go sounds much better in this demo.

I own both and whilst the Mustang Micro is excellent, the Kat Go blows the Mustang out the water.

Same. And same.

Amazing! Thank you.

Well Katana Go is discontinued now. Something about manufacturing issues and to high of a demand. Not sure what this means for its support

Would be nice if Boss released an official statement to consumers

Both seem great. I got the new Boss IR-2, I know it's a pedal and takes up more space but can use with headphones and no amp.

These things are amazing. Hope that marshall does one too

The Katana Go is superb. Best €150 I ever spent.

I have both headphone amp. Both are great. I find the Fender Mustang easier to use. The Katana has much more options. I love both.

Can you please do a Buckethead gear guide? I really wanna know how he gets his tone

What can this be plugged into if you don't want to use headphones ?, I want that Paul Stanley guitar in the background bt dubs

I have them both and the Line 6 Pod Express. I like the Mustang for the clean amp selection and the modulating reverb. The Katana is very impressive when you figure out how to dial in you want. The Pod Express is the better headphone experience but obviously the least friendly form factor. I'm hoping Line 6 or Positive Grid make a new headphone amp module as well. Both the Mustang and Katana get plenty loud but there's not much drive with either. Thankfully I own some Meze headphones and a Campfire Cascade which turned out to be a perfect pairing. IEMs also seem like a good fit for both but definitely need to watch the volume knob. The Katana's volume wheel is much better than the Mustangs, way harder to accidentally bump the volume.

Yes, that modulated reverb on the Mustang is incredible. Trying to replicate that with the Katana.

Just get one of each.

thank you for this comparison. i find the mustang micro clean amps sounds better, more realistic, and thats what i look for while practicing, not tones of washing sound effects, and i prefer not to be dependent on mobile phone app to change eq, etc. do what works for you, cheers!

Cant wait for another guitar video with a single humbucker and a floyd rose.Where kramers been?what about the japanese baretta they said they are going to release

I have mustang and boss katana amps. I got a more vintage and warmer tone with the katana than I did with the mustang. However, the mustang is still an amazing amp. At the end of the day, it’s what sound you want! Either is a great choice

I've had the Mustang for about 6 months now and love it. Through a Strat and Les Paul. After watching this I'll probably buy the Katana too. Its cheaper than an amp and keeps the Missus happy. Win win!

Off the bat that sound is far too fizzy for my liking but I'll continue watching as I enjoy your channel and playing Deghan. Hopefully these units can simulate better sounds to? Can you record with these devices into a DAW?

If you have a sound interface (a focusrite, m-audio, pro-tools) you can record anything that has an output, like these two devices.

So you could take an 1/8" to 1/4" connector to a wireless and use a tablet to control tones of thew Katana Go and use this as a live rig?

Yep, works incredibly well, or at the end of a pedalboard, you can remotely drive it no problem.

What headphones do you guys use?

I have an SG (passive pickups): i recently picked up the katana go.....put of the advertised 30 presets, 10 are like Mix ready or recording ready, a lot of them really require some firther tweaking/refining to get that sweet spot .....or maybe it's just my SG which is known for a more darker sound and it could sound brighter say on a Telecaster......ny general opinion of most dist/high gain presets is that they are bit FUZZY /muddy and dont cut through.....again it just could be my SG.....would like others opinions if used on other guitars

From all the videos I've seen of this, I like the sound a lot better than my Mustang Micro, and I like the addition of a screen and a tuner. However, I wish one of these app-based headphone amps included a physical "effects" modification button on it. I like to change the delay time on the fly on my Mustang Micro to get that "whooshing" sound when the delay time is changed. I wouldn't want to have to go into the app every time I use the headphone amp, I'd rather just set up some parameters on the headphone amp with an app and then ignore the app until I want to make large modifications again. It would be nice if the presets included an option to tie the level of a specified effect to a physical button. This way, too, you wouldn't have to waste a preset slot if you wanted an amp by itself plus the same amp with a bit of an effect - you could just turn the effect on and off.

Good vs comparison. Especially for a person that doesn't own a headphone amp. I wish you had the new VOX sets and compare those.

​@@christophervincent8420 The AmPlug 3 is honestly just behind the times in most respects. No Bluetooth, one amp-model per unit (albeit with 2 channels), sound quality not fantastic (the AC30 manages to be *okay*, anything else just sucks), very limited effects. The rhythm tracks built-in are nice, but can't hold a candle to Bluetooth'ing a full backing track to it. It also still has the problem where it straight-up won't fit properly in some guitars - anything with a deeper jack cavity than normal or with it at an even slightly awkward angle, no AmPlug for you. Lastly, it still takes ye olde AAA batteries instead of having an internal rechargeable one.

@@JohnvanCapel I hate Bluetooth, so lol.

The tuner aspect is a let down for the Fender Mustang although the rest about it is great

Excellent demo.! Thanks for your help...I'm gonna "go" and buy the Katana ! 🎸🎧🎛

Any gear that requires a phone app - for *any* functionality not available otherwise - gets the immediate "no thanks" from me as a pleb who plays guitar specifically to *not* interact with a phone for a while. So as impressive as the Katana Go is, I'll pass on it.

The Mustang is very lame, got it, sold it. The features of the Katana are great but…there is a lack of medium frequencies, yes even with the eq, I found that the medium is not in the good spot. But for the price, size, features… One last con : The volume of your phone via Bluetooth is dependant of the Katana’s volume, so when you want to lower the volume of the guitar you ALSO lower the volume of your phone (the backing track for exemple). So this make this (to me) main feature a bit tricky !

Zoom G1 four. Runs off a USB battery pack, is cheaper and better most of the time, and doesn’t need an app.

Friendly reminder that neither will sound good if you can't play for shit, and that they'll both sound phenomenal if you're a Dagan.

Yeah, but we bad players need amps, too.

Great demo, but why are you playing through such an ugly guitar? Play something cool like the Iceman behind you.
