#Boss katana 50 manual mod#

On the six mod selections (chorus, DC-30, phaser 90E, comp, flanger 117E, limiter), depth is the inner ring. The factory effects configurations are as follows: For the six booster selections (blues drive, clean boost, overdrive, mid boost, distortion, treble boost), depth is the outer ring.

Operation is straightforward: Press the booster, mod, delay, FX or reverb button located above each knob to select the desired effect type, then turn the respective knob to adjust the depth. The MkII amps all have 60-plus Boss effects onboard, and you can use five types of effects simultaneously. The effects section has two concentric controls – booster/mod and FX/delay – and a dedicated reverb knob. Note that “secret” access to Ch3 and Ch4 is available by connecting the optional Boss GA-FC ($124) or GA-FC EX ($149) foot controllers. Pressing the panel button toggles between banks A and B. The Ch1 and Ch2 buttons capture all the top panel knob/button settings (except master) when you press and hold either one for about a second. You can store and recall a total of four presets on this amp: two in bank A and two in bank B. I also liked using the acoustic model with a Takamine TSP 138C, which sounded great with variation activated to give it more punch-through presence onstage.Īfter landing on a few sounds I wanted to use, the tone setting buttons (labeled Ch1 and Ch2) facilitated saving them as presets. Using a Strat, Tele and a PRS SE McCarty 594, the Katana MkII sounded good for live playing using mainly the clean, crunch and brown models, almost always with reverb on the spring setting and delay on the tape setting.
