It's a play on words if you don't know. The Wakizashi is like a small Katana. And so too, this little puppy is a modified Katana boost. I had an extra enclosure and decided to build something for a friend of mine who uses a Keeley Katana in always on mode. It's a big enclosure to use as an always on pedal, so I thought I'd build him something small without a switch that he can leave on and tuck away on his pedal board, freeing up more space if he wants to add a new pedal to his rig.

Oh, I've added the LED since these pics were taken, that's what that red wire is about there, power for the LED.
Hope you've enjoyed!
