The Katana Send/Return function can now be controlled from KatanaMan Pro via a bluetooth footswitch. Using the menu 'Options | Map Key Codes' select the 'S/R OnOff' field (see below), and enter the character that your bluetooth footswitch / keypad is going to use to control this function.

Now when you press the relevant footswitch, the Send/Return function in the Katana will be turned on and off. If the Send/Return option is visible on the KatanaMan Pro screen, the text will turn green when the function is on, and grey when it is off.

 KatanaMan Pro version 17 has been released, and now supports the XSONIC Airstep Kat pedal. 

KatanaMan provides the following key features:

The Quick Start Guide covers most of what you need to know in order to use KatanaMan to conmprehensively control your amp.

The Katana amps - both Series 1 and Katana MkII - provide around 25 different pre-amp models, many of which are not ordinarily accessible. KatanaMan Pro gives you access to these pre-amp models. This article explains more about the pre-amp models and how to use them.

The Boost 'slots' (ie Green, Red & Yellow) in the Katana amps share a single set of parameters !

TeraEcho is a sophisticated effect available in many Boss products.

KatanaManPro enables you to create custom effect chain orders, beyond those available through the standard presets.

The Katana 'Boost' effect has a 'Solo' control which consists of a level and an on/off switch. When solo is switched on, you get a mild increase in boost effect which can 'lift' your guitar sound when you are soloing. The level control determines how much of a 'lift' is applied. The on/off switch turns this feature on and off.

The 'Delay' effect 'Time' slider now has a '[Tap]' control on the far left. Tap this to bring up the 'Tap Tempo' button. This on-screen button replicates the functionality of the physical 'Tap' button on the amp. By tapping in time with the beat of your song, you can set the delay time to match.
