In this video, Sam takes a look at the mini Keeley Katana Clean Boost pedal, check one out here: https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/keeley-katana-boost-mini-pedal
The Mini Katana takes Robert Keeley’s oldest design, and one of his most popular pedals, and crams it into a mini stomp box , so you can squeeze it onto any pedalboard. A FET based clean booster, this tiny version of the much loved Katana offers up to 35db boost, giving your valve amp a real kick up the bum, which can really open up the dynamic characteristics of the tubes.
But the Katana mini isn’t just a super clean transparent boost pedal, it’s got a few other tricks up it’s sleeve too. Along with the bypass switch and output level knob, there’s also a couple of internal dip switches. Just like the boost switch on the full size Katana, the first dip switch ups kicks the pedal into high gain mode, adding a lovely warm FET based overdrive to the tone, which sounds great when combined with an amps natural overdrive. The second dip switch, which is new for the mini Katana, is a high cut, reducing treble frequencies slightly if you need to smooth out the tone of your Strat or Tele a little.
Specs-wise, there’s not really much else to say about this simple, but great sounding booster pedal. It’s built to Keeley’s usually high standards, and it probably is worth noting that, just like most of these mini pedals, there’s no room for a battery so you will need a 9 volt power supply.
