These effects can be loaded into your amplifier through a corresponding app for iOS and Android devices; this app, which gives you full control over the amplifier—as well as access to a bevy of choruses, delays, reverbs, pitch shifters, ring mods and more—can also organize your favorite amp setups and load them into the amplifier’s eight effects slots.Once you’ve set up a chain, you can experience your tone through the Katana Artist's analog class-AB power amp and premium Waza speaker. Furthermore, a Cabinet Resonance controls gives you the means to achieve a high-octane sound at lower levels.Turn your attention to the rear of the amplifier and you'll notice a bevy of connections, including a phones/recording output, a line output, an effects-loop section, and an auxiliary input. Two footswitch inputs are on hand, as are two extension speaker outputs rated at 16 Ohms.
