Airstep Kat Edition KATANA MkII & I Footswitch with 5 Footswitches, 2 Control Modes(Change Presets, Toggle Effects), 300H Playtime, Modify Amp sound with BTS App for iOS and Android, Wirelessly

Great Product does more than BOSS GA-FC, Plus Killer App functions. - BUY IT - Hands-free switch channels, toggle effects, change effect types and tap tempo of KATANA 50/100/Head/Artist MkII & I. Modify Amp sound with BTS App for iOS and Android, Wirelessly! No setup required, Plug and Play! Total game changer for KATANA-50 users. AIRSTEP Kat has more powerful functions than the BOSS GA-FC footswitch and can work simultaneously with it if you already have one. It has an additional "GA-FC Expand Mode" to make up for the lack of GA-FC.

I purchased this back in January and initially it worked great. Offered more versatility than the GA-FC since you can switch between different effects on a given bank in addition to just turning them on and off. Additionally, it's a cheaper option and more space efficient. About a month ago, however, it stopped working. The pedal came on but would not control my Katana. It never left my house and was always in a climate controlled environment. I contacted customer service via email and after trouble shooting we came to the conclusion that the USB-C port on the pedal was broken. The rep asked for my original order number and address and within a few days I received a brand new pedal. Now, this process took a couple weeks to complete. I'm on the east coast of the US and, wherever their customer support is, they were replying to me between midnight and 2 am my time. This meant every step of the process required a day to complete. Every question asked, every "try this now." This isn't a knock on Xsonic, just an FYI to anyone who might run into an issue. Be patient and work with them and they'll take care of you.

Must have device for Boss Katana.

Game changer! If you have a Boss katana 50 MK11 this is the pedal you want! It makes life so much easier specially for IOS users who have to use katana librarian this unlocks so much and makes it hands free it also means you do not need a Widi uhost anymore as this acts as your host for Bluetooth between the phone and the amp performance is flawless it’s fast reaction time very simple to set up and all that just absolutely 5 stars all the way around makes everything easier and better!

I just bought this footswitch last week for my MK1 Katana 100. Seemed like a well made item and even worked with the amp well. But the problem lies in the fact that this switch relies on a Bluetooth connection to the Boss Tone Studio app for Katana Air on your phone or tablet for you to do your tone editing. Well, the fine folks at Boss just happened to release a software update last week that renders this footswitch incapable of making the connection to the app and working as it should. Since I don’t want to have a brand new defective footswitch I’m sending this back.

It took like two weeks to get it, but it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. That being said, it’s a mundane thing that should have came with the amp. These manufacturers shouldn’t be leaning on accessories and the aftermarket for basic functionality.

Gave me ALOT of options for my Boss Katana Artist mk2 head. The wireless connectivity it provides is worth the price of admission, but when combined with my GAFC-EX footswitch I get control of all 8 banks, and all fx. Highly reccommend.

Makes editing patches on my Katana Mkll 100w much faster and easier. It is more compact and functional for stage use than the ga-fc, not to mention being half the price or less. If the airstep kat had been available when I was buying the amp, I might have given more consideration to the 50 watt version. I like the Katana Librarian app better than the Tone Lab Studio on my laptop - seems much more user friendly…easier to experiment with. I highly recommend the Airstep Kat.

Hallo Fransje hier! Als je een Boss Katana 50 hebt en je wil een footswitch waar je alles aan en uit kan zetten met je voet.. helemaal te gek.

This is a brilliant addition for Katana owners, particularly Katana 50 owners who don't have access to Boss' own pedal. Allows easy switching between preset channels, and easy ability to turn on and off pedals within each channel. Really opens up the 'on the fly' usability of the Katana. Plus you can link to a couple of apps to allow channel editing wirelessly, a real game changer meaning less requirement to plug into the pc. Comes with all the necessary cables, and feels very well built, feel of unit and button switches feel very solid. Even comes with stickers so you can customise labels so you know what you're turning off and on. It's a real game changer. Only minor criticims I'd have is same buttons that have 2 functions operated by a long and short press could be more intuitive, and you end up swiching to the channel selectors when trying to turn on and off reverb but you get used to it fairly quickly. In later versions they could get round this by adding a sixth button. Quick delivery and in my opinion excellent value for money

Super

De momento genial!!!

I use the Airstep Kat with a Katana 100 MkII. Being able to connect to the amp via bluetooth is a game changer, particularly if paired with the 3rd party Librarian app, really makes the already great Katana into an even more powerful amp. Cost 13.79$ CAD with taxes to fully unlock app on Android, a little more than that iOS, like almost all apps. Even if Boss Tone Studio on computer is really amazing, using the Librarian app is way faster to navigate. Takes seconds to connect to the amp and tweak everything on the fly, and doing it without being wired to the amp, amazing! The Katana-Air app, is okay, it works, it is free, so fun to play around with, but Librarian is the way to go. The initial startup for updating firmware and connecting the device is the most difficult part of using the device, and probably the worst part of this. The instructions are way more complicated than needed and you kind of feel unsure of what you are doing. It didn't take very long to work through, just not very streamlined. The good news is once setup, it's a breeze to use. The learning curve of the pedal is low, very simple to use. If you can't figure it out in a few minute, just check a vid or two on Youtube and your golden. The actual pedal is nice and solid, great look and pretty premium feel. Comes with all the wires you need and even has an USB A to C adaptor included. Even includes stickers for custom labels. Extremely long lasting battery. Overall, excellent choice if you want to have more practical control at a much lower price point than a GA-FC or GA-FC EX. Only real caveat is that you use the USB port, meaning the amp cannot be used as an interface while using the pedal. Not a big deal for most people, but can be for some.
