      @@ronburgundy922 Katana needs to focus on their software instead of releasing another amp with negligible improvements. They should’ve just added Bluetooth (like almost every other modeling amp) so you can connect a phone or iPad without having to buy a an adapter. I don’t have a working PC now and don’t really need one anymore except for this. I’ll just get a used Katana 50 MKII for $100 as I just need the power to jam with our 3/piece I started with my coworkers

    I wasn't amazing while watching this video. I was unfaithful. I was over here watching this thinking about my GTX 100 and how it came with a footswitch and an LED screen and built-in bluetooth and a bunch of perfectly voiced fender tube amp sims and xlr out and usb-c and an app with 100's of pedal sims and now that I have a Line 6 Pod Go wireless from a certain beloved youtuber in Germany, I would never need to own another amp or pedal in my entire life....but I stayed for the animals at the end and clicked the like button so I guess that something :) Kudos to Airstep for making something that every practice amp should have come standard with. I am glad a company out there had the marbles to make it happen.

  • @ia5662

    That tap tempo built in is just so ridiculous that Boss didn't include something like that - they have these crazy amps that are extremely limited like they weren't thought through practically. EVERYONE wants to footswitch these! Not crazy about using batteries, but these are genius

    just bear in mind (at the 10:00 min section) that the Katana Air download (for the Tone Studio) is only applicable for an iPhone or iPod...so it says when you get to the download link...otherwise, you'll be relegated to using your laptop for that task.

    If y'all REALLY want full control...use a midi controller such as the Melo Audio Midi Commander in conjunction with the GA FC or Air step!! The midi controller takes you to all 8 channels without banking up or down and the GA FC acts like a buncha stop boxes in (effect mode)

    • @greg6162
      @greg6162 ปีที่แล้ว

      For the money you can't really expect Boss to include a looper for the price of a Katana and it being the best amp you can buy for the money, especially when they sell arguably one of the better loopers RC-1 to RC-5 and the latest RC-600 that can do more than people have figured out yet though. Now them including a bluetooth makes more sense considering the functionality of the amp

To be honest I tried to make it work but although the app recognises Widi Uhost as a device it gives back a "Communication Error" while you try to connect to it. Thanks and regards.

    Interesting but they built it backwards. The footswitch should be wireless that connects to a phone/tablet/whatever that is connected by USB to the amp. They also should have included a jack for an expression pedal. I already have a wired footswitch I can select channels with I got for less than $20.
