The legendary Katana is back! Keeley have gone back to their roots while giving this classic a modern twist. This latest version uses the original JFETs that made the first Katana so beloved, but now with an updated boost mode for even more punch and clarity — especially in those low-end notes. It’s everything you loved, but better.
A boost built like a tank
Keeley have stepped up the build quality with modern construction techniques, making this one of the most reliable clean boosts out there. There’s even a slick new aluminium control knob that’s designed for quick adjustments mid-performance. It’s solid, stylish and ready for the road.
Loads of oomph
Want your tone, just louder? Easy — roll that volume knob forward with your foot and you’re sorted. But if you’re craving more, pull the knob out and unleash a fat, harmonically rich boost that adds tasty tube-like grit. Use it as an always-on amp pusher or kick it in when you need to slice through the mix. Your call.
Two modes: pure clean & high gain
- With the speed knob pushed in, think of it as a volume control that goes to 20.
- With the speed knob pulled out, it’s a cutting boost with a touch of gain. It’s not quite an overdrive, but has enough tube-style edge to make your tone sing.
Voltage doubling magic
Inside, the Katana is packing dual FETs for the most tube-like tone you’ll get from a transistor design. It even doubles the internal voltage — feed it 9VDC and a charge pump nearly doubles that for massive headroom. Don’t go sticking 18V in there though, as it’s designed for 9V only!
