Pros

Its freaking fantastic. Overdrive is useable.

I play both spacey blues and very heavy modern metal, and this amp does everything i want. I play mostly metal (iron maiden, exodus, megadeth) for what this is.

The size is just a bonus. It's the size of a lunchbox, with the punch of broly.

It absolutely rips. The delay is good and with a little tweaking it’s also capable of mild reverb. They only offer a delay fx, but you can dial in a really impressive sound!

The katana mini is an actual analog guitar amp with a preamp stage and amplifier stage. This amp comes with 6 as batteries.

Quality


Sound quality is amazing for the price and size of this amp.


Very good sound quality, volume is sufficient for practice and aux out is perfect for recording into daw (audacity).


It can't produce quality sound and doesn't have a ton of features.


The amp works great, sound quality is very good, and it has a good feature set, especially the option for battery power and plug-in power.

Price


Of, at the current price, i wish it came with rechargeable batteries and a charger.


The price seems a little high for what is essentially a toy.

Packaging/appearance


Couldn't believe how light this was when i took it out of the package.

Competitiveness


The katana offers more controls than its closest competition in terms of quality.


Overall it does exactly what i wanted it for and its a great value for the price.


I never turn the volume past 12 o'clock.
