Wow that is impressive. Features and functionality make sense and sound high-quality. I wonder if they would make a Katana 800 (400 W / 8 ohms) as that may be more practical for gigging with a drummer at a venue or outdoors (versus inside on stage). The opening bass line was so thick, fat, and juicy it grabbed my attention. That bass guitar is super sweet and Kai is a killer bassist- super demo. Price on Reverb for pre-order is $799 shipped which seems great considering what you are getting (makes it tempting).

I'd totally want one but it doesn't have international power switching. That is literally the ONLY thing they didn't throw in. Flying from Africa, across Europe, then across the USA doesn't work very well if I have to carry a transformer when I want to travel light. Edit: Hey, BOSS! Please make this thing with universal power! Please. Seriously. It has everything I'd ever want and need, but that. I've watched this video a few times, plus a few more. This amp wants me.... I can feel it.

Pretty interesting. I saw someone talking about this somewhere. They were thinking there was no reason for this amp since it's all in the 2x10 combo. Personally, I would prefer the head so I could use it on whatever cabinet I want.
@han_mono7 ай бұрын
The Amp has much more options compared to the combo, that said while the features were impressive, the sound samples weren’t my cup of tea.
@GrantFunkyFrabe6 ай бұрын
Beyond being able to the the head in whatever cab, (hartke for me personally) this head is a little more powerful than the one that comes in the combo. Plus some features the combo doesn't have. In my opinion, the speaker is the weakest part of the Boss Bass Katana. I'd love to hear the head through my Hartke Stack

Thank you as always for the great reviews and demos!

Also, is it all digital or are there any analog components? Thank you so much 😊

Its loud and doesnt run continuously which could make you ignore it after a while - but it does statrt and stop every 30+ seconds. Im a bit dissapointed...
