Keeley Katana Clean Boost — Legendary Clean Boost with High‑Gain Mode (Throwback White)
Classic Boost Tone, Reimagined
The Keeley Katana Clean Boost returns in a striking Throwback White colorway with enhanced clarity, performance, and dependability. Built on the original circuit that helped define Keeley’s signature sound, this pedal offers pure boost, rich harmonic enhancement, and versatile drive in a compact, modern design.
Designed for players who want more volume, more presence, and more edge, the Katana excels as both a subtle boost and a powerful tone enhancer that pushes amps into sweet, harmonically rich territory.
Two Versatile Modes
The Katana features two distinct modes that expand its sonic palette:
1. Pure Clean Mode
-
Engaged with the control knob pushed in
-
Functions as a transparent volume boost
-
Increases output without altering your tone—your signal mirrored but louder
-
Works perfectly for solos, leads, or cutting through a mix
2. High‑Gain Boost Mode
-
Engaged with the control knob pulled out
-
Adds fat, harmonically rich gain with tube‑like grit
-
Not a full overdrive, but a cutting boost with enhanced edge and presence
-
Great when pushed harder into your amp for lively, driven tones
Legendary Circuit, Modern Reliability
The Katana uses the original JFETs and component values that made the first version so beloved, preserving the touch and feel that players trust. Updated construction techniques and a precision aluminum control knob make this pedal both durable and easy to adjust on the fly.
Voltage Doubling for Superior Headroom
Inside, the Katana features a voltage doubling circuit using a charge pump to maximize operating voltage from a standard 9 VDC input. This design provides:
-
Super clean, high‑headroom boost
-
More dynamic range and clarity
-
Fuller, more expressive response without requiring external higher‑voltage supplies
⚠️ Note: Do not apply 18 VDC—use 9 VDC only.
Plug‑In and Go
Whether you:
-
Keep it on all the time to push your amp harder with enhanced tone
-
Kick it on only for solos or leads to cut through the mix
-
Use it to add touch‑sensitive gain and presence
The Katana delivers musical performance and tonal versatility in every position.

-
Transparent boost with muscle

Harmonic richness without muddiness
