Acoustic setting: That is actually designed for an accoustic guitar with a pickup. BUT WAIT! Using Boss Tone Studio with the Katana, one of the effects is "Guitar Simulator" which will make it sound like an acoustic. It will also make humbuckers emulate single coils and vice versa. There is even a setting to emulate a hollowbody electric like a 335. Its an amazing amp.

I've noticed a lot of people having latency while recording the Katana so I figured I'd share my solutions to this: Method 1 is to direct record the Katana via usb cable into laptop. You need a DAW for this. Your headphones should go into the Phones/Rec of the Amp. The signal is weak and needs to be set up to 200%volume. Or add a volume booster VST on that same track. Method 2: Draw a cable from your Phones/Rec into an audio interface which then goes to the amp. Your actual phones should go into the Monitor of the interface. The signal is hot and should be rolled back from : guitar volume /amp volume /amp master/interface gain whichever is your sweet spot. Method 3 could be method 2 but using the Line Out of the amp instead of the Rec/Out which makes the monitoring out of the amp itself and no phones needed. None of the variants sound professional and I still use my VSTs for recording.

I love the actual sound of my amp coming out of the speakers. But I really hate the Line Out, I tried messing with Tone Studio to no avail. It is not just the same with the actual sound of the amp! Tonight I try to dial in some basic setup through recOut and it sounds to me a bit better than the Line Out. But I have not tried yet to compare with the actual speaker sound. Which method do you think sound closest to the actual amp sound?

​@@PherotoneStudios I sincerely apologize for delayed response I didnt see this until just now. Yes pocm was a typo for pick. It was the software I was using it was creating a latency issue. I now have a new dilemma. My usb cable keeps cutting in and out due to age I assume and being that it's time to select a new cable I have a new set of questions. I noticed on the back of the amp there are 3 ways to connect stuff. I have been using the USB out to my computer and testing it as a microphone which has been working decently but recently I noticed upon unhooking it that there is also a 1/4 inch line out as well as a 1/4 inch rec out. If I were to use the best setup for my home studio which one would you suggest I use? I'm all about getting the absolute best recording sound. I just dont want to buy a cable when there was a much better one I could have purchased instead. This is once again going straight into my computer and into my tracking software i already have my tone settings up and going I'm simply looking for the best sound quality.

I like the katana, it offers a lot for the money but it’s not mind blowing. It doesn’t really sound like a tube amp. I noticed when recording mine through the analog record out that the delays and reverbs do not sound like they’re in stereo. The acoustic guitar setting does sound good for your acoustic guitar. It’s not meant to make an electric guitar sound like an acoustic though. Overall, I like mine.

I’ve had a few people mention this but I don’t have any problems. But I record using a mixing desk so the signal gets split and I monitor from the desk while sending signal to the computer.

I'm not sure what you were hearing through the monitors when recording this, but I'm sorry to say that to my ears, all the different amp settings from crunch to brown sounded much the same, like an awful beginner amp with everything dimed.

Using a Y splitter at the recording end will split the Left/Right signal into two separate tracks. Try it!
