BOSS / KATANA-AIR EX

KATANA-AIR EX is a desktop amplifier equipped with BOSS's superior wireless technology that allows you to perform with professional sound extremely easily.

Two 5’ custom speakers are mounted in a carefully crafted wooden cabinet, tuned in an ideal balance to bring out the best of each speaker.
The cabinet responds dynamically to the player's touch, giving a rich, stage-amplified sound. The carefully selected pre-amplifiers and extensive effects suite allow you to play with a professional sound regardless of the genre.
Simply connect the included transmitter to your guitar/bass for easy performance without cumbersome cables.
