Beginner and live in an apartment. Neighbors were complaining about the noise with my regular amp. I bought this so I can practice loud without disturbing anyone. The app has a ton of tones and I don't have to lug my amp around and can practice practically anywhere. Love it

I am coming from a Fender Mustang micro and this thing blows it out of the water. It literally just sounds like I plugged my headphones into a boss katana. I highly recommend
Amazing device and great value...

I have the Katana Artist GEN 3, and the Katana GO is its portable equivalent. I think the studio app is actually better for the GO. Extremely intuitive to use and the amount of editing/sound design options are vast. The fact that it has a tuner is a total bonus. Even the Artist doens't have one. And lastly, I'm excited to try running the GO straight into my DAW via USB-C. That's very cool.

Yes or no on bluetooth headphones? It appears as the question has been asked twice already but got two different answers.
I apologize for the confusion. No, the BOSS Katana:Go Mini Guitar Headphone Amp does not support Bluetooth headphones. While it features Bluetooth connectivity, this is solely for streaming backing tracks and connecting to the BOSS Tone Studio app for sound editing and practice tools. Audio output is provided exclusively through the 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, requiring the use of wired headphones or earbuds.submitted6 months ago

Can this pair with wireless headphones? I have a pair of studio Sony headphones that would be great for quality. Or does this product need a direct input?
Unfortunately, no.
