The BOSS Katana Gen 3 line of amplifiers provides presets with a variety of amp models with extensive chains of effects. By connecting footswitches and expression pedals (sold separately), you can achieve hands-free control of your Katana during live performances. With footswitches, you can engage the Solo function, switch between presets, turn individual effects on and off, and more. With expression pedals, you can control volume, wah, pitch bend, and other assignable effects parameters. To configure everything, use the BOSS Tone Studio for Katana Gen 3 app<\/strong> on your computer, your phone, or your tablet. We wrote this guide to introduce you to the possibilities that the Katana Gen 3 offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
