How to mod your Katana Mini - Adding an external speaker out

[@AngusNB]

I wouldn't worry too much about battery vs mains power. Either way the amp is still receiving 9 volts DC. You should use the last set of pins for negative (ground) and leave the middle set unused. That way if you ever connected a speaker using a stereo cable (unlikely) the negative wire would still be in the right place, the sleeve.

[@JM-jk3fe]

Give this man a medal!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thank you. I accept cash, PayPal or pirate gold

[@MrMidnightSon]

This worked like a charm, thank you! Used my Katana Mini + Harvey Benton G112 Vintage. I did follow Angus Black's tip of using the last set of pins for black, which works well and makes the hack more universally compatible. Cheers!

[@heavyfeitus870]

hy Nicolas, excuse me, what "angus Black´s tip" do you mean? thanks

[@MrMidnightSon]

@@heavyfeitus870 you should be able to find it in the comments under the video. He advised using the last set of pins for the ground (negative) and leaving the middle set of pins unused. That makes the build compatible with stereo jack cables, in case you ever use one to plug your guitar in. Hope that helps!

[@heavyfeitus870]

@@MrMidnightSon Of course it helped thank You

[@landonbailey]

Awesome mod! I might just try that some day! :) thanks great video !

[@TheGuitarGeek]

You're welcome man. Easy peasy too

[@mjallenuk]

Just for kicks I'd love to hear the Katana Mini go through the Artists speaker for an interesting comparison. No soldering required just connect up to the spade terminals with a jack socket the other end. Really interesting mod. I've been thinking about buying a Katana mini for the bench for testing (and time passing when I've had enough of fret polishing for a while) but this would be a cracking upgrade if I could buy a smallish cab for the corner of the room. Cheers!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

You're welcome! I'm one step ahead of you...stay tuned

That was pretty much the plan mate... ;o)

[@par5eagles975]

great video, as usual. glad you are back "solo"!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

thank you.

[@Nixeuss]

Thanks, just did it but a silly, very silly question ! You plug the guitare in the input of the Katana mini. You plug another jack on the "new" jack socket we add, but in which input do you plug it on the "other" cab ? If i plug on the "input" of my Blackstar HT 20 ( combo) it will pass through the amplifier.... on the rear i have Emulated output, the send/return and the ouput for other speaker.... Thanks a lot

[@lauranceemory4448]

I did that with old Vox AC1 9v toy... hooked to friends JBL PA speakers... amazed it drove them....

[@TheGuitarGeek]

It feels like it shouldn’t work but it really does

[@Red-40]

Hello! I really enjoyed this video. I am wondering if I'd plug this into the 16ohm jack on my amp? Is there a way to tell how many ohms the output is? Also, you used a speaker cable I assume?

[@stepvanjoe3469]

pretty cool man, should be a factory feature, but that being said there should be no reason why you could not use the power supply with this mod as nothing else was disturbed

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I agree but I can't advise someone to play with electricity once they've fiddled round inside. Gotta stay safe!

[@stepvanjoe3469]

TheGuitarGeek +this is true...in the modern age of lawsuits and personal injury lawyers you must have a disclaimer for almost everything. Maybe just adopt a general disclaimer at the start of every video to save some hassle.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

That's a good idea! I'll get that done

[@jorgeabaezp9365]

Great! So i can use the power supply?!?! Neat. That way i can also spare spending money burning thru batteries

[@louismagnin368]

Great mod ! Do you now a way to modify the channel handswitch to implement a footswitch between clear channel and first saturated channel ? Regards.

[@Bingopete71]

Great simple mod that could possibly be done on other mini amps too.

[@gabriel_santana_86]

Hi, great videos! :-) I have a MkI 100 212, and I was hoping that you could do a video where you could show how to do a mod so that one could both use the amp as a head with an external cab, as well as using the the internal cab with an external head, preferably by adding jacks to the real panel beside the existing ones. In my opinion the MkI's sound better than the MkII's. I also have the MkI 50, and if there is a way to add a FX-loop to the rear panel in a similar way with jacks, that'd be a world of help. The MkI 50 - given that one tweak it so that it sounds right because right out of the box it really does not - might be the best amp of all time, considering versatility, sound, portability, and plain powerful headroom. Cheers! :-)

[@mile0141]

i should be fine hooking this up to a harley benton 2x12, right? the cab impedance is 8 ohms, just don't wanna risk blowing the amp or speakers

[@williamjohnson3195]

What specs on external speaker/cab do you recommend ...(I tried a fender pa speaker...which didn't work...but I'm sure there is a good reason...thanks for your insight on this question and kudos on this instructional video!

[@ivanroberts2447]

Great idea and demonstration mate was thinking of getting one of these but already have a blackstar fly so I bought the 100 watt katana head instead and it is awesome, in fact I loved it so much I bought the 100 2x12 combo as well they are outstanding amps can't see me ever needing any other amps , (though I do love me peavy bandit red stripe for clean strat tones)need bigger house help.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

That's a nice collection. You should try the artist. Get a bigger house first though

[@ivanroberts2447]

Thanks guitar geek yes definitely going to try it when I get the opportunity but I have to say that I really love the speakers in the katana's I have and have to wonder if it's worth nearly £200 and some odd pounds extra for a different speaker and change of styling but I'll give it go ,cheers for the reply and great content.

hey do you think that this mini boss katana mod can keep it up with a drummer?

[@gnarmyskateboardco]

hey! would this work to wire a speaker IN jack as well? since the ac10 already has a speaker out that mutes the original speaker, making one more like this for a speaker in would give the ability to use an attenuator between the two i think? does that sound about right?

[@antonisgiaglis2051]

Is it possible to a do this mod to a stereo micro amp, such as the Laney mini-st? I'm thinking to add the jack to just one of the channels (let's say the left one), but what about the other one? disconnect it or leave the internal speaker?

[@kogadogg]

What guage wire did you use on the speaker! Thanks nick

[@bradwylie9336]

works great ,can do it with 2 2way switches too if you cant find switching jack ,, just put a 2 way switch on both speakers power wires (red) coming from the computer(power),(if using 2 seperate switches make sure 1 switch doesnt cut power to the other ) wanted the nice delay louder and cheaper ) will work exactly the same on batteries or powered from the wall , i see why he said that but its a non issue ,have fun my friends and thanks guitar geek dude )

[@MaxCarton]

Great video Andy! I love greenbacks! I use a Palmer 212 that I love with my Plexi... So funny how much of the tone comes from a cabinet! Cheers man

[@TheGuitarGeek]

It's often overlooked. Greenbacks are my favourite

[@MaxCarton]

Yeah! I love them 2! I use Celestion V-types live for a bit more High end. They sound a lot like greenbacks, but they cut just a little bit more frequency wise. With my torpedo 2 notes stuff I always use a regular greenback cab! And also cool to look at is the Neolight Creamback Celestions if you're gigging! They sound like greenbacks (if not slightly better), they can handle 65 or more watts (I think), but the best thing is that they only weigh 1,5 KG!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

My favourite mix is a v30 with a greenback. I'll have to take a lok at that creamback, sounds great so far!

[@MaxCarton]

For some reason I don't like V30 speakers (with my amp). But I love them for some other amps! And yes the NEOcreambacks look awesome... I want them for a lighter/louder greenback sounding 212 :) BTW I love that P90 guitar you're playing! P90s and Greenbacks are tone heaven...

Hello, great video! I am thinking of drilling my katana mini to use the 12inch speaker of my old line 6 spider iii 30watt combo, by plugging the cable in the aux input so to only use the speaker. Is this feasible? Or will I have a damage regarding the impedance of the line 6 speaker?

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Don’t do that! Speaker out to speaker only

[@Vman9484]

would it be possible to make a small 2x8 cab that the Katana Mini could safely power so long as the two 8" speakers are 4ohm each?

[@TheGuitarGeek]

The resistance depends on how you wire the speakers but as long as the sum is 8 oohms you will be ok. I powered the 212 rather nicely!

[@AdrianManzo]

whats the difference between this and using the "rec out" port...? 🤔 🤔 🤔

[@abhijay2804]

yes same question

[@anarmadillowithagun]

the “rec out” port is not connected to the speaker, it acts as a headphone output/recording output to a mixer or interface. it’s also a 3.5mm jack, so you could not connect a speaker cable to it even if you wanted to.

[@tgdb4968]

Thanks man, i'm gonna try this.

[@BudgetPedalChap]

What a great mod and that Guitar. Oooft

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Ooooft indeed. Nice fat neck and the p90s are cracking

[@hippopothomas1980]

it's because the receive end of the speaker have a capacitor prevent overload input, or else you need to put additional capacitor at signals cable series to the jack.

[@rydock]

This is awesome! What sort of wire gauge is suitable for wiring up a switch like this?

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks! Just match the wire that Boss use and you'll be fine.

Stupid question but does the stock speaker still work when not hooked to external?

That can't drive a speaker coil, only a headphone driver. I have a Tech 21 Deuce Deluxe powered cab -- so it can take any signal, like a headphone out and amplify it with its own power. I'm sure it would work great with the Katana mini --- and no mod needed. But I can get such great sounds out of the Joyo American Sound or AC Tone pedal ($25 each) through the Deuce Deluxe, that I don't need the Katana. . . .

There is no reason not to run this off mains, your switching power supply is going to be supplying the same DC voltages to the amp as the batteries and there are no mains voltages going on in the katana, and by the time you get to the audio output you are not going to be seeing DC either just the audio signal.
