Katana Man - EatonPlan use the full capabilities of your Boss Katana guitar amp

Manage your Boss Katana amplifier with ‘Katana Man’.

Main features:

- Easy navigation interface designed for studio / performance use. Amp settings can be adjusted and saved ‘on the fly’ making KatanaMan an ideal tool for the home guitarist, as well as for practice sessions, studio work, and on-stage performances.

- Supports both Series 1 and MkII amps

- Supports firmware version 4 features on Series 1 amps; firmware version 2 features on MkII amps

- Supports Bluetooth connection to the amp. (Supported adapters include : CME Uhost, and XSONIC Airstep Kat). See web site for details : https://eatonplan.tech/pages/how-to-connect-using-bluetooth

- Enable and configure all effects, delay types, reverb, boost types, EQ, system settings etc

- Use 25 different pre-amp models (included in the amp firmware, but not otherwise accessible)

- Pedal Fx support

- Solo, Contour, EQ2 etc on MkII Firmware Version2

- Bluetooth devices (eg foot switches) can be used to control the main features of the app (and thus the amp). See web site for details: https://eatonplan.tech/pages/how-can-i-use-a-bluetooth-controller

- Create, save and load tones ('patches') – in TSL format or EatonPlan proprietary (faster) – on your android device.

- Load and Save tones to physical amp channels (Tone Setting buttons)

- Unlock the full capabilities of the Series 1 amp by enabling Boost, Mod, Delay and Fx simultaneously using 'Advanced Mode' (normally the amp only allows one of Boost/Mod, and one of Delay/Fx to be active at one time).

- A connection status ‘led’ ensures that you know amp is still connected correctly. MkII Firmware Version 2 also has a Solo ‘led’ to show the Solo state.

- Set Lists of songs (pre-created outside KatanaMan) – are lists of songs in order of performance, with each song ‘linked’ to the associated patch. As each song title in the list is tapped the corresponding patch is loaded into the amp, ensuring that the correct patch is loaded for each song as you progress through your live performance. Great for live performances – especially for covers bands using different patches/tones for each song. SetLists can be created using a text editor or the KatanaSets app (recommended).

- Song Notes (created outside of KatanaMan using a text editor) can be used to display ‘memory joggers’ such as chord progression, lyrics etc.

- Suited to both the hobby/home guitarist and the performing musician.
