I've got the Boss Katana Mini. I use the mains power supply with mine at home. Got mine for £81 Great little amp for home practice.

Cheers guys, nice choice for review with that Christmas present money burning a hole :-) I've been tempted by the Laney before, glad to hear the sounds backs up the cool looks. I've seen demos of the app too, it looked like a lot of fun to just 'dial in' a sound when mucking about in the front room .

Was it just me or was the middle one the loudest? Is there an offering with a rechargeable battery and totally wireless.

In my opinion The very BEST battery powerd amp is the Vox Mini5 Rhythm !! Has an integrated fx and drum rythym section ! Best for practice and Busking - even has a Microphone input !

I have a short scale that I switched to Uke tuning and the best thing I found for it was the Rhino amp sim on IOS then output to an amp or portable speaker. Amazing tone!! Only problem is that it requires an irig or similar device also not very good due to latency in the way android processes audio signal has to be iPhone or IPad.

Are any of these amps suitable for bass guitars?

I bought a Laney mini st lionheart and the front grill wasn't glued in properly and it fell out, along with the speaker cones. The same thing happened with the replacement. Dodgy manufacturing by Laney.

Why in the hell wouldn't you show the extra feature with the Laney that you could use the IOS to get the sounds of any guitar;. I'm sorry, don't like to complain but this was not a good review whatsoever.

Morte Santa something sounding good or not has a lot to do with effects, they even showed built in effects on each amp so, tone bridge connectivity definitely falls under “do actually they sound any good”.

The blue tooth fly was never 60. The 5 knob Laney was not 60 either. The 3 knob was 60. Cmon man.

Doubt those will be as good as the bigger Roland Cube or mid size Yamaha THR, I have both, they are pretty good

I dunno, the Roland mini cube sounds great for a mini amp

I don't get why so many people are horny for the Katana Mini. For the money there's a dozen better options (Blackstar Fly3 with extension speaker for starters). Same for the Yamaha THR5 to be honest.

To me the Fly3 sounds better than the THR10 , except for the Fly OD channel, which sounds too harsh for me , but pushing gain on the clean channel produces a very sweet/musical crunch. I re-sold my THR10 after hours of tweaking in vain to extract any decent sound out of it.

So glad i got the laney iron heart st mini from rich tone for 29 quid. Was well worth the price. The black star is tinny. And the boss is way over priced.

Worst review I've seen on these amps in particular the Fly3 which is by far the best little amp out there. Great tone, delay and portability without having to pay over the odds or download any apps.

I think this was ok But you missed the whole point. Don't compare products that are double the price. Laney and Blackstar are competitive. If you going to throw in the BK , which is double the price, then best bring in some Vox amps that will blow them all away. Anyway , the Blackstar kills the Laney. So that's the conclusion of this video, BK should be compared to Vox, Yamaha, Fender equivalents, and I would probably still buy the BS anyway . And as for looks, buy a guitar for looks , not an amp.
