Good compact solution

Pros:

- wireless system working with active pickups

- a good set of classic effects and amplifiers

Minuses:

- lack of effects loop (not critical)

- suitable floor controller and expression pedal are expensive

- the expression pedal (wireless or connected via a wireless footswitch) can only control volume or the Wah effect, although in other versions you can assign it to the Pitch Shifter and other effects via the desktop application

- very limited effects chain options

As a result, a good portable solution for practicing. Due to strange limitations (mostly software ones, which can be easily fixed with firmware) the device cannot be fully used.

Great little amp - loud for its size and weight

Only a couple of gripes:

- The wireless connection works great on my Strat but cuts in and out on my Epiphone Les Paul

- The Katana App is not particularly user friendly

Nice practise amp

Pros:

- wireless connectivity is amazing, always considered it a gimmick, but it really is much more fun to play without cords

- can get you in a ballpark of any tone in any genre

- does not take much space and looks cool

Cons:

- mobile app is downwards depressing

- tuner is available only in the app (which makes it depressing too)

- can sound a bit shrill without extensive tweaking

Home office perfection

With turning on upon picking up the guitar I don't see how this could be easier. It makes you want to play in every small break you have in the day and that's exactly what I was looking for.

Useful compact and good quality

i have it now for two months. Is very convenient and cool. The app is also helpful, you can create your own patches. The only negative i think is the price but it depends where will you use it. I do not like many cables and i use it only to my house. Very good quality and nice transmitter , if the price is not a problem to you i recommend it.

Good little amp!

Wireless is amazing. Have the Waza Air and they both use the same wireless receiver model, which works amazing.

Sound is great. Amp sounds great at low speaking-level volumes, and gets loud too.

The bluetooth streaming for playing backing tracks works great too. Apart from the occasional app issues (slow, disconnects etc), I don't have any issues with the amp!

Excellent little thing

I bought the amp mainly for home use (my first amp) because it was small and other small amps don’t have so many effects. I’m starting to really like it. Here’s my opinion:

Pros:

Ultra compact

Completely wireless! (Works on battery if you want, but adapter also included, no cables at all)

Tons of effects built in (literally hundreds)

App to change the settings

One little con:

When you are playing on really low volume, you can hear the radio frequency sound or whatever (little cracking noise?)

Overall I really like and the pros really outnumber the con.

Great little guy this one...!

I bought this little guy ,cause I wanted a little practice amp with no use of cables, and with a pair of wireless headphones the job is done! Great clean tones and with a little search with the unit effects you get great modern gain sounds, too...Still not got the full 100% of what this amp can do - because of a sudden hand injury-but I tell you this little fella rocks, especially with a good pair of headphones.No problems at all with connectivity or latency, and its a fun home entertainment system too, since you can connect via bluetooth any tablet or phone and listen to music.Great feature also that you can use any backing track you have and adjust correctly the volume so you can jam with it in no time.A bit expensive though, but for the things you can do and the sounds ,I can justify the cost at least ...looking forward to try with an FRFR speaker that Im willing to buy and see what its gonna sound .....for now I just put it in a wooden base (like a small furniture) so that can amplify it's sound naturally....but I prefer playin with the headphones...great feeling overall.Very pleased with the product although I say again its a bit expensive..
