Desktop wireless amp goes on sale
Boss has announced that the Katana-Air, the world’s first totally wireless guitar amplifier, is now available.
Featuring new low-latency wireless guitar technology and a custom wireless transmitter that plugs into any electric guitar, the Katana-Air gives you the freedom to rock out around the house without any cable worries. Dial in tones and effects from the Tone Studio app and you can also stream audio via Bluetooth from an iOS, or Android device.
Users of the Katana V2 amps will find familiar sound-shaping features on the Katana-Air, which features five channels ranging from to sparkling clean tones right up to Boss’s custom high-gain Brown sound. Memory storage for up to six amp and effects setups is also onboard and you can choose from over 50 integrated effects.
The 30w amp and wireless transmitter can be charged via a docking port and Boss promises a full charge will provide up to 12 hours of continuous playing time. To further conserve energy, it operates in stand-by mode and instantly wakes when it senses motion.
The Katana-Air wireless guitar amplifier is now available for $399.99 and you can find out more in the Boss website.

For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
