The combo of this amp and pedal cannot be beat for most small gigging (omnipop, club date, jazz, club rock, etc). Add an expression pedal, and you’ve got virtually everything you could need.

Hi Dave! I have just received mine. I ordered another Acoustic guitar, on a budget. Fender CD-SCE Mahogany in order to take advantage of the amp. I also ordered the Boss RC-1 loop station. (again on a budget) I am still working on bends, but want to get the Loop pedal so I can learn lead and record the rhythm at the same time. (At my tempo) This is but one example of your professionalism, ability to provide world class training, in a most personal and caring way. I am so glad I found you, and joined the Premium training program. It's been a joy and eye-opener.

This is brilliant, extremely well done video showcasing the current state of affairs, fair and unbiased and a great push for us katana/WAZA Air users to jump up to the variations of the fuller katana range and using the librarian app. I’d really actually love to see this migrating to the full airsteps and packaged with future updates of librarian so that there is better symmetry across the whole boss range. Further emphasis on the gapless playback would be good as well as this is something very few platforms can do well. ( looking at helix and most other devices that drop audio whilst reloading dynamically assigned DSP )

Hey Alec, not sure if I'm understanding you correctly, but are you possibly referring to the fact that there is a slight and momentary signal drop when changing channels with the GA-FC footswitch? Either way, do you know if there is any way to make the channel switching seamless?

@@aljuric5887 I suspect you have a more pronounced drop changing only certain types of reverb algorithms. You may want to experiment with swapping 2 presets and keeping the reverbs similar. Dunno on the big kat or with the GFAC but with the airstep and katana air the gap is really small or not noticeable at all.

Good video, BUT: the glaring omission on the airstep are the missing exp/fs jacks, of which the GA-FC has 2, and the GA-FC EX even 3. How do you control the volume and wah from the airstep without plugging an extra TRS cable into the back of the katana? Am I missing something?

I was actually going to purchase the Fender Mustang GTX100 until I found out the TONE software can only be used on the computer via android or ipad, and since I have neither I would only be able to edit tones on the tiny LCD window on the amp itself. I own the Katana 100MK2 and was going to return it for the Mustang until I found this out. And yes, I am THE one person in the world who does not own a smart phone or tablet. Thus the Katana linking via USB is great for me (old school).

You are a great teacher/explainer. I will look at some of your other videos. I lived in Hobart for 23 years 1994-2017 so nice to hear your aussie accent. Maybe you know the folvig bros Lawrence or Elliot. Nice guys really good guitarists. I used to play w/their sister in TAS. But melbourne is a lot bigger pace than Tassie.

I played in bands in the 70’s and 80’s . I pugged in my guitar, to my wah a fuzz and maybe as time went onanother pedal or two, into my Marshall half stack. I rarely played after college when working and raising a family. Now many years later I’ve started playing again and I must say, I picked up this Kantana 50MK2 since there were so many good things said about it. I gotta say I’m pulling my hair out because all this stuff is so damn confusing. I’m not stupid by any means, it just so frustrating..I even bought the Boss FS6 pedal, and I’m about to sale everything’s I’ve got and say to hell with it…I guess I wasn’t cut out for all this tech stuff even though my degree is in electronics…I’m so confused and you make it look so easy….!

I like you're channel name, I was looking at one of these and I was rather confused about it working with 50w katanas, XSCONIC said so on a FB comment I made but I still needed to see if that was the case. Considering you can sorta control a MK2 katana with a phone plugged into the USB port this all makes sense now. I love my Katana but honestly felt cheated by having half a fx loop and limited control over it on a pedalboard. Might look into one of these now.

Two things about this... - Being able to change the individual effect using the footswitch is absolutely a game changer. Can't do that with a GA-FC. But some kind of indication of which effect you are using... the LED on the Airstep changing to the same color as the LED on the amp... would be very nice. - Can the footswitches be programmed with any effects we want to group together or are we stuck switch 1 being the booster group, switch 2 being the Mod group, switch 3 being the FX group, etc.? I don't use any of the distortions or overdrives in my Katana. It would be great if I could set switch 1 up to be say, either pedal volume or pedal wah. Can we do that or would I have one switch I can't use because it has nothing but boosters in it? I already have that issue with my GA-FC.

I quote : "You should know getting into it that the effects get kicked in when the button is released and not pressed. Not only is this a super dumb design, but I also don’t see anyone talking about it. At first I thought there was some latency, but after investigating for a while a realize the “latency” came from the fact that effects aren’t kicked in when you stomp but when you release. And of course, since you stomp on the beat, by the time you release you’re past it." -end quote.

Thanks! I generally like modelling amps just because of the versatility of what I do (teaching lots of different songs with different tones). It's a great entry point for beginners/intermediate players as well. If I were in a band performing I'd probably look to using a a tube amp as I'd probably have a more single defined sound. My favourites are the Katana ofcourse and the Positive Grid Spark. The PG Spark is probably more just for practice but is probably a bit easier to use. There are pros and cons :)

The problem is Airstep Kat needs the hardwired USB port on the back of the Boss Katana Mk2 EX amp as well as the Ulooper so you cannot run both the Airstep Kat and Ulooper with the same amp. There is no Bluetooth connection capability to the amp, which is the reason.

I'm an owner of two Kats (100 mk1, 50 mk2). The 50 is a very good Amp and it is plenty loud to keep up with my drummer when I jam. The Kat doesn't behave well for me when I use the efx loop for pedals... I use it like a tube Amp for effects, and play clean channel with my rig loaded in the front end. Sounds good enough for me to not have to carry a big tube Amp everywhere I play.. Get a 50 mk2!

Unfortunately it arrives telling you to update the firmware which a poor app that doesnt work, I have written to Xsonic support who dont have a ticketing system, their User groups has a lot of threads on comments of the non working airstep updater a very crude app. However, the airstep functions as your video demos and your video is very good although I have a GA FC and the main extra is the coloured lights and that you can use it with the Katana Librarian app on IOS rather than having to use a Mac with tone studio. However, I have a lot of patches on tone studio and havent tried the BT Katana air app but pretty sure you have to transfer them. Right now I am not using many so I shall see how that goes. Airstep Kat I can see a saver for Katana 50 users but for those who already have a GA FC and a lot of patches in Tone Studio not sure it is worth the change. For live performance though I think it is better given you can use your phone to adjust settings rather than having a mac.😁😁🙃

Hey man great vid. A couple of years on has the katana library app gotten better for iOS? Looking to get an airstep for my Katana 50 Mk II

Stupid question - new to this - does this also have looper built in? If not anyone recommend a good versatile looper for a Katana Mark II 50 newbie? thanks

Since that thing is basically a computer using the USB driver, they could theoretically make one that adds an effects loop to the Katana 50.

I was pretty bummed to find that the gafc doesn't work on the 50, so I'm stoked to find this video. I ordered one right away! Lol. Quick question though, if it uses usb does that mean you cant be connected to your laptop while you use it?

Was ready to sell my 50 mk1, but after seeing this video I think I'll hold onto it and buy one of these switches! To think this amp could gain even more functionality, awesome! Does anyone know if it'd be more worth it to upgrade to the 100 Mk2, or go with the option I mentioned above?

I have the GA-FC and ordered this the other day. My question is since I use the Katana as a sound card into my Mac, can I connect the foot switch via Bluetooth to the Katana so I can save the USB port for the computer? Thanks.
@GuitarZero2Hero
@GuitarZero2Hero 2 жыл бұрын
Hey! So unfortunately this is the one limitation of this pedal. The Katana doesn’t actually have any Bluetooth capabilities so to use the AIRSTEP you need to connect via the USB port meaning you can record at the same time

When you press the save button in Katana librarian app, which is brilliant with the gafc, the setting is not saved to the amp, only the library! You have to go into the library and press the little dots at the end of the patch and choose Download to amp and correct patch location, otherwise if you don't want to do all this flaffing you'll have to go back to the amp and press the channel save button Not as simple as the boss Tone studio
