Tap this more than once to set the tempo of the delay / reverb. The reverb / delay also benefits from a tap button, which is located under the master volume control knob. The button underneath each control knob defined which effect is in use. You control the level, that is how intense the effect, using control knobs. The Air has some Boss quality in-built effects. A separate volume control knob enables to you control the output of the instrument channel. It’s perfectly capable of creating high gain metal tones. However there’s so much flexibility to shape tones via the gain and EQ control knobs.
Let’s talk about the amp types that come included with the Air:

A handy LED will let you know when the Bluetooth connection is active and tell you when the amp is pairing. You can also distinguish between two Bluetooth settings, one allowing you to play audio and the other to control amp settings remotely. The Air has a master volume control knob, which helps to balance the music playing from your phone and the input of your guitar, another basic yet useful feature. You can also then play backing tracks to play along with without being constrained by cables. That’ll allow you to play music via the Air in stereo. The Air has Bluetooth connectivity allowing you to connect your phone wirelessly. It’s another feature that makes the Air super convenient to use. It’ll also switch to standby automatically if it doesn’t detect movement for about a minute. The transmitter has a sensor to detect movement so when plugged into your guitar if you pick up your guitar the amp will turn on. The Air can be set to standby where the amp is effectively off. That said, it fits perfectly into my Strat and doesn’t get in the way at all.Īnother innovation is power. Dependent on where your input jack is on your guitar, it might slightly get in the way. The only problem with the transmitter is that it’s a little bulky. The LED indicator will tell you when you’re connected to the amp and will also let you know when the battery is running low. There’s super low latency, meaning there’s no delay between input from your guitar and output from the amp, something that can be a problem with wireless transmitters. You can recharge either by plugging the transmitter into the 1/4 inch jack input on the amp, or via USB. You’ll get about 12 hours of play time from the transmitter before you’ll need to recharge. The Air comes with a radio transmitter that plugs into your guitar jack input, allowing you to ditch the cables. There’s 3 band EQ control, which is great to see on a smaller amp and contributes to the Air’s versatility. This includes in-built effects, memory banks, 5 amp styles and the ability to configure settings via an app. The amp is compact, weighing just under 5 pounds (2.2kg) and will happily sit on a side table.Īlthough small, the Air retains the main features of it’s bigger brothers, the Katana 50 and 100. The sound is produced by 2 x 7.5cm (3 inch) speakers. If pushed I think I’d label this as a practice amp, with a little more muscle. At 30 watts output you could definitely play in a small venue.
It’s sort of a practice amp, but sort of not a practice amp. you get 30 watts of power if you’re using the power adapter, but only 20 watts when powering the Air via batteries. You’ll get around 10 hours of life from decent alkaline batteries. The Air can be powered by either 8 AA batteries or the included power supply.
But there’s more to this amp than just convenience. It boasts the capability to be completely wireless thanks to it’s wireless input and ability to be powered by batteries. The Air is a diversification in Boss’ popular Katana series.

It’s definitely packed full of features, but does it live up to the quality of it’s relatives in the Katana series? Overview of Boss Katana Air In this Boss Katana Air review we’ll take a look at the innovative Katana Air. If only someone could make an amp that can be used completely wirelessly. It can be very frustrating as a guitarist constantly having to watch for cables.
