This will be a NAMM release by BOSS; a wireless amp, the Katana Air, they call it. If you wish to go wireless before the Katana Air happened, chances are, you needed to invest in a separate wireless relay system which has no guitar/ amp affiliations. BOSS now gives you its acclaimed Katana servings plus wireless feasibility.
How things look like from the top. The Katana Air has battery capabilities as well- 8 x AA batteries for a 20W output (otherwise, plug it into the wall socket for a 30W output). We're looking at a $600 price bracket here which isn't quite everyone's cup of tea when it comes to desk top units like this. Fans of the Katana tone might give this a chance. Fans of the wireless relay system might give this a chance as well. So we see where the Katana Air is heading for in terms of market appeal; tone & feasibility. Chances are, this amp will debut here so let's give it more opinion after hearing it in action.

I feel everything fall in place nicely when Roland/Boss adds features to their product. However I'm not a fan of modelling amp technology since the first one came out. This one is no exception. Just my 2 cent sir.
Em... sir... I have never owned any either... :-P
hope someday they'll make separate transmitter/receiver module, for those who just need the wireless system and not the whole katana
No no sir, not aiming my analog barrel at you sir. Just praising/shooting at the brand/technology. Hehe
@Ijau There are currently independent wireless relay systems out there like the LINE 6 G series but we need to ask ourselves, why are we not that keen on them.
@Yus No offence taken encik, I'm really not a fan of modelling tech- was never one from the start. I prefer singular offerings with lots of focus rather than a swiss army knife being master of none.
