Air in stock

If you wish to go wireless, be informed that the BOSS Katana Air is now in stock at Swee Lee ($600+/- price bracket). As for me, I don't need the amp, I just need the technology. Waiting 😎

Wireless like a boss

Now that BOSS has officially released this wireless wizardry, I'm VERY sure everyone wants one. The wisdom behind this marketing is that it offers three versions to appeal to the three major player groups out there. Here's more:

BOSS 2018: Embrace air

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.

Next gen?

Pssst. You heard of NEXI industries? No? That's because they are new to the scene. They have this Solution Pedalboard where you can plug in pedals that are cable-free. The catch is, it's their kind of plug-&-play pedals, not something that you already own which could be made compatible for the board. Nevertheless, it could prove to be a difference with all those messy cables out of the way. 

By the way, you heard of a Marshall JVH amp?
