What Are BOSS Katana Amp Patches?
A ‘patch’ is basically a combination of amp parameters that is saved and stored on your Katana amp. It essentially captures your favourite amp type, EQ settings and effects so that it can be recalled at any time!
But you’re not limited to just the settings that you’ve come up with. That’s because Katana amp patches can be uploaded and downloaded via the BOSS Tone Studio software. Simply connect your amp via USB and load in unique patches made by others as presets. It’s a super-speedy way to get awesome settings on your amp!
For example, you may want to load up with the best Katana sounds for metal. Or better yet, you might wish to load Danish Pete’s favourite sounds straight onto your Katana! A great place to start before tweaking your own distinctive sounds.
What Is BOSS Tone Studio?
BOSS Tone Studio is a free piece of software that enables you to download, organise, customise and store awesome Katana settings. In addition to settings, you can also play with Katana’s selection of on-board effects and customise them to your heart’s content. This is great if you want that extra little bit of control.
The software also gives you a convenient way to organise and configure all of your Katana setups for different gigs, recordings and practice sessions. This amp just gets better!
