Love this little amp. My buddy bought one and he loved it so much I had to try it. Easy to use, plug it in or use AA batteries. Tones are amazing. Simple to use, wireless is just awesome. Super light can pick it up and go! Also doubles as a Bluetooth speaker.

The transmitter doesn't fit the recessed jack of my Godin Session. There is a work around using a 1 foot cable but that doesn't work well. The movement created causes a loose connection and static. Otherwise the amp is good with a traditional cable.

Don't recommend it. It is not well supported by BOSS. The tone studio is temperamental and all tone studio patches for the Katana 50,100,& Head are not compatible with the AIR tone studio . Went back to the 50 and am more than satisfied.
Had it for 3 months.

First I heard this at the guitar show in Regina.Wow I was impressed on the sound.Very user friendly.I approch this amp a little differently.I look at it as a working tool.No need to turn on my tube amps at home.This little guy sounds great.Wireless to boot.I brought to a studio recording it was amazingly easy to get a clear tone.Now,I can bring this camping as we all jam in the woods.I recommend this product as a tool for any musician.Its worth every penny.This has opened my eyes a little more .As I have been a tube amp guy for over 40 years.Gave my line 6 to my son lol.Still love my tube amps .

Just bought this little amp yesterday at the Kanata store,after reading reviews and looking at the features-wireless from the guitar to the amp via Bluetooth,wireless power via 8 AA batteries(or plug in the wall).
It comes as advertised-plug or play unplugged,either way it sounds amazing-surprisingly good volume & the effects make it sound like a Marshall stack.
I have just started playing with it and will discover more tones and cool stuff,but I highly recommend this toy,a little pricey but worth the $$..

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
