Really appreciate the review, Ola! Can't say I'm going to buy that lil' sucker, but I'm happy to have the chance to hear what it has to offer.

[@DanielAwaritefe]

Decided to learn electric guitar and get a guitar and amp for Christmas. I bought this based off your review. Needed to hear it chug and this was the best review by far!!

[@Old.Monkey.Bones.]

Great demo Ola!! Sounded very good indeed!! I have a feeling you would be able to get a great tone out of almost anything, you put sole into everything. Also, very nice to finally see a demo of the correct use of the head apparel they included too. I really enjoy eating those little sachets they include with new gear, a couple of those on a baguette and I'm set for the day. 🥖

I have the 50 watt katana. And that thing rips my house. Love that practice amp!!!!

[@The-Lu]

I have to keep mine on the 0.5watt setting until my neighbor goes to work 😂

[@jamesmotiv8989]

I have a Katana mk2 head and it honestly rules so hard. The 5150 modeler with deep cab and my 7 string is fjorking tasty. Plus when I don't have space or room to use my cab it just has a .5w and 7w practice amo built right into the head. It's so good dude.

[@jackbootshamangaming4541]

Is there any use for a head for those of us with tube amps? I was looking but hard pressed to find a reason, I used to be it's prime target market but I got pedals and tube amps now so

[@palantyr_oh]

@@jackbootshamangaming4541 yeah man, a decent solid state makes a perfect backup head and if your playing at a sketchy venue and dont want to take the big bucks tube heads. my main head is a budda and i fucking hate taking that thing out to shithole bars

Hey Ola!! Theres a tail wagging during the unboxing., 😄🐶

[@irubberyouglueonethousand5384]

Reminds me of the early 2000s Roland cubes

[@cycomiles4225]

Boss did buy roland, so yeah, they are trying to fill that hole but many people say that those roland cubes were phenomenal, even for gigs. I didnt like normal katanas, but katana mini is amazing for what it is imo.

​@@cycomiles4225huh? Idk man I heard Boss is owned by Roland.

[@cycomiles4225]

@@DoomKid Everybody says that. Pretty rare sight on the used market.

[@aequanimus63247]

I used to have a roland microcube, it was awesome. I bought a katana mini hoping it was going to be similar. It was close enough, but they cut the tuning fork, and effects. This one seems like it's closer to what the microcube was like, and a genuine improvement.

[@Sniper_Cat_71]

I have the Boss Katana 50 first generation and the thing is just a powerhouse of an amp. I prefer it over my Peavy Vypr and my old Fender Princeton Chorus.

[@yearoftherabbitoftheyear]

I bought this amplifier for playing on street corners and small rooms. $149 US! They love me at the corner of Haight and Ashbury because I get great tones at volumes I can sing over without a PA and everyone is happy $$

[@chrispile3878]

Roland/ BOSS can do no wrong! Thanks, Ola.

[@GenCirnoLivestream]

I’m so happy to hear this demo again. It was my favorite Sundays with Ola demo ever since you demo’d Jared Dines’ Stingray guitar. That amp sounds killer too. Thanks for the review man.

[@Silveradoman61]

WILL IT CHUG

[@saltlakedood]

I love that the first thing we see Ola play on it is really metal and melodic and sounds awesome and kicks ass!!

[@Jermusicislife84]

These amps are awesome. I recently got the Boss Katana MK2 100watt Head and I love it!!!!

[@Cpmnk]

I love that it looks like a proper amp just smol.

[@CatharticGuitar]

Love the bag over the head. I always wanted to try that.

[@Spivonious]

I tried a Katana in the store. The treble made by ears bleed and could not be dialed out. Much preferred the Line6 Catalyst sound.

[@ernestochang1744]

on the opposite side we have the positive grid spark which no matter watt you do Bass can not be dialed out, however the Spark 2 is a step in the right direction... still a bit bass heavy but if you like a bass heavy amp for practice try the spark 2 by positive grid

[@francesboy2]

I got the original mini because of this channel years ago, feeling very nostalgic right now.

[@stepitupandgo67]

That sounds really good to my ears....ready to record an album!...dig it

[@EasyHeat]

That sounds just f'n incredible! Consider me impressed. I previously had a Katana 50 mkII, and am after a mkIII EX, but this may just be the perfect practice/apartment recording amp IMO. Great video OLA!!! Much love from the central North Carolina sludge/doom community! 😈🤘💥

[@zandig666]

Great tune Ola !!!! It chugs !!

[@klarson5597]

Sounds incredible! :D

[@greengelacid2061]

Super cool little amp…I have the 212 100w katana 2…it’s been amazing, and it looks like boss will continue making an affordably great product…

[@DoomKid]

The 2x12 100w kicks ass! Good enough for small venues!

[@omarvillegas7071]

I have the original mini with batteries, this one looks like a fine upgrade to practice

[@judas_saves]

Perfect for your new Haunted album! 😇

[@renevillalba]

I do like the control panel in front, hopefully they do a mini head that can be cool

[@HaErBeSo]

After looking at far too many reviews, trying far too many amps, losing far too much money along the way, something clicked in my brain and presto, I’ve entered Jazz sound Walhalla. I just connect the earphone output of my Fender Mustang Micro to a Sangean U4 (a fairly simple ‘builders’ radio) and that’s it. The versatility of the little Fender (amp modelling, effects) gives me plenty to experiment with and the (brilliant!) Sangean has totally acceptable sound for home use (not forgetting FM, DAB, blue tooth connectivity etc). And if necessary it all works on batteries if you want. And I’m fine without all the overhyped app-tweeking. So I’m not falling for the commercial traps set by amp manufacturers again. Maybe I’ll change my mind when I start gigging, but that’s a highly unlikely scenario. Would love to see someone showing this solution on youtube

[@davidpaul6656]

I have one of the original Katana minis and love it!! That being said I want this one too!

[@Badger_FPV]

Nice! You could add a decibel reader in the room to help with comparing how loud they are Vs talking

[@MashaT22]

Doesn’t he have a giant decibel meter hanging on the wall behind him in most videos?! Like I’m literally looking at it in his wall of guitars on the right side! 🤔😂

[@jdfenix7]

Yep get ready for updated regular katanas with that tuner integrated. $$$$$

[@tvalla]

Which one do you recommend?

[@jdfenix7]

@@tvalla Katana Head. Has an internal speaker, effects loop, portable, and can add a cab when you’re ready.

[@AwkwardHypernerd413]

I just bought the regular mini two weeks ago for 60 bucks used… and boss releases this damn thing. Gog Damn it boss

[@chriskitchen4772]

Ya, I'm familiar with that feeling too.😧

[@BobVermaes]

I currently practice through a pro pod. The ear phones are a pain. The boss seems like it would get the job done easier. Thanks for the demo.

[@SurvivalInFlames]

I had the original katana mini and really liked it, it def had some downsides which this version addressed(rechargeable, tuner, more effects). I think they dropped the ball however not including an audio interface option which would have really made it useful. Then it would have been a real competitor for the Yamaha THR amps, especially being about half the price.

[@robinr22]

Does anyone really use this type of thing as an interface though? I have a bunch of products that double up like that and I've never used them once because I have a couple of actual audio interfaces 🙂

[@magellan333]

Simplicity works , its like mini Roland Chorus❤

[@AshenMireAB]

I picked up the Line 6 Catalyst CX200. 2x12. It's impressive for use with my Line 6 Helix LT. It is a good practice amp too and for jams

[@_Yep_Yep_]

Thank you Big Brother Ola.

[@TreyXanthean-c5h]

sounded great! i use an Alesis Cube but i have no doubt this would be just as good...

[@triledink]

Do a Roland Microcube vs boss katana mini X. The microcube is legendary for its classic stack preset, especially for that price.

Can't connect to the mobile app or tone studio? I'll just stick with the Katana Go and maybe grab the Spark Mini for a desktop amp

I have a Katana Mini which I love but I may need to upgrade to this

[@thyreapermc5948]

Have a Mini myself. Once I got the GE7 to saturate presence, I was very happy AFTER with that for a bit. The 4" driver is for players that already have an ear & understand the guitar's role in a band... Maybe not beginners. The Behringer HA40R is a GREAT pedal platform. Not perfect, just great.

[@willx6394]

Damn that sounds great

[@DantesGrill]

Like some parts, some seem less good. Like the knobs and almost everything being on the front. Would make it easy to stash on the desk and have access to everything, but it's also a bit cluttered with the charge cable coming out there too. Don't think I'd upgrade from my non-X version, which was also only 70-ish bucks. Good amp nonetheless

[@meechmunchies]

Duuude awesome shirt!!!🐉👍

[@damnedsaint5463]

I am torn now on which small amp to get for my desk now. The Fender Mustang LT40S, I like this one because of the small footprint, and you can use the app to tweak sounds. The Fender Mustang Micro Plus, I like this for the even smaller footprint and using the app to tweak sounds. Now, Boss Katana Mini X, I have owned the Mini, and I liked it. This looks like a great upgrade to the Mini. Being able to use an app to tweak sounds and store presets would be great, though. Which would you recommend?

[@MarbsMusic]

When you started playing about 2:40 was that using the DI out on the Mini X? Trying to understand i that was the amp or something else?

[@tomislavs1698]

I was literally about to place an order for spark mini, think I'll wait a bit for this one tho.

[@brainycrunches2359]

Tuna can! They nailed it!

[@ElectroFret21]

When you first started playing, I thought it was a Breaking Benjamin riff. Also, I liked the "oh, shit yeah" when you switched to the brown channel and that high gain feedback came out.

[@elancaster3989]

the boss street cube and the me90 effects processor i use with the rc5 looper pedal to busk and shred at the beach. on baterry power. highly recomend. you can link 2 street cubes for a stereo rig.

[@JoseArturLimaLira-rg9oj]

11:57 "scent?" yeah definitely sounds like it.

something about those scratchy highs I don't like ... but that's due to the speaker size I guess.

[@Pauligrinder]

Could be the mic position as well, there's a chance it'll sound nicer IRL.

[@diegolanza_]

The base 50W is also quite fizzy on the high ends but the incorporated EQs in the app really do wonders

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

Crunch variation sounds like Entombed Wolverine Blues.

[@francis35141]

that tone at 13:00 min is impressive considering that it's a small practice amp !

[@DiscoveringTheScene]

Sweet! I love Roland

[@TheBudgetMusician-xs6ob]

Try a Monoprice 15 watt tube combo. They're only about $250 and just 1 channel, but have 3 preamp tubes, 2 power tubes, a spring reverb and an effects loop. Harley Benton also makes one for European players.

[@dingalarm]

@@TheBudgetMusician-xs6ob But apart from lacking an effects loop, the Mini X is much more versatile (3 channels, each with a variation).

Can you compare it to a grid Spark 2 ? Thanks!

[@PedroKing99]

Sound real good❤!🤘🤘🤘

[@CakedNinja]

🤦‍♂️ I've only had my Boss Katana mini v1 for like 6 months. It's really good, but damn this X seems great! I guess only difference is that the delay on the 1st one is much more adjustable, while here the effects are very limited to adjustment. Not sure i like that. Thanks for the demo Ola! 🤘

[@heroebennett]
