So the led light for the reverb section of the pedal turned off and doesn’t turn on anymore so it’s hard to know when it’s actually on, happened within a month of the purchase. That’s the only bad thing I’d say other than that it’s a great pedal for the boss katana

I questioned buying this, for a long time. It seemed that those who were promoting it so much, were just trying to make a sale for Boss. I decided to give it a try, because I needed an easier way to change my patches. Well, I was SO glad I did. It's a most excellent pedal, for saving, and changing the preset patches I use most often. Used with my Katana 100 MK II, it is the most valuable pedal I own.

Not a fan of foot pedals because I'm mostly jus a plug and play guy. This meets all the hype surrounding it, and then some. I was completely impressed with the detailed instructions on how to use it, and it is now a part of my weekly jam sessions. I like the easy to see lights, as we tend to play in the park in a gazebo, and they turn off the lights at 10. We typically just jam in the dark. It is sturdy and very well built.

Works for the Katana Bass 210, but the labels are for the Katana guitar amps (e.g., 4 channels, but the bass has A1/B1/A2/B2/A3/B3). I'm going to use a label maker to cover the factory labels. You can refer to the bass manual for specific foot controls!

I have several guitarists that share this amp, some use this controller, some don't. Those that do find it much easier to use this to change patches on the amp, whether you're playing live and can't reach the amp without stopping playing, or you're just puttering around with it & don't want to squint at the little buttons on the amp. Roland/Boss should really include this with every amp!

A must have when purchasing the Boss Katana 100 !!
The GA FC plugs in right to the designated plugin on the back of your Katana.
With the panel button on this pedal it actually gives you an extra channel(panel patch) and another bank with four more patches you can create. You can also easily add expression pedals and other extensions to it. Its awesome and responds quickly to touch. Very easy to use.

I bought this 3 months ago at the same time I purchased my Katana 2x12 amp and if you play live and aren't sure, just buy it. You'll be sorry if you don't as you can easily change any one of your different programmed settings without having to walk back to the amp each time you need a change. It's a little pricey for a foot controller, but being in a cover band, I'd say it's more than paid for itself, not to mention it's built like a tank and will take the abuse with an all metal casing. I even use it at home in my bedroom as it's just more covenient using with your foot. Very happy I bought it.

If you have any of the amps or other products that this switch is compatible with then buy it. It will save you a world of time and open up all kind of possibilities.
The Volume and Expression Pedal jacks can actually be used for other things depending on which product you are using it with.
If the button markings don't match a product that works with this foot controller don't panic. Each compatible product comes with a set of stickers that you can apply over the factory markings, renaming the button functions to match the functions on that product.
It's a solid, well built unit being made of all metal with no plastic like some other foot controllers have. The heavy duty switches have no play in them and should last for a very, very long time.
If your product can use this foot controller then buy it. You won't be sorry.

Product Review
Exceeeds expectations with my Katana Artist (1st generation). The biggest drawback is that longer TRS cables are quite pricy, but that's a small price to pay for the convenience this footswitch offers. A few things I love about this footswitch:
(1) "Effects" mode gives you stompbox simplicity.
(2) In "Effects" mode, switching off delay lets the delays fade out naturally, unlike "Preset" mode.
(3) Buttons are already assigned to the desired Katana Artist functions. Screenprinted labels match, so no stickers necessary (although they were included with my amp).
One small issue: There's a noticeable lag when pressing the Panel button in "Preset" mode. I'm guessing it's more of an amp firmware issue. I will look into that.

Construction is very good, no concerns about durability.
Feature set works great with Katana Mk II, 100w 1x12 combo.
Would have preferred the included TRS cable have one right angle plug, as using it with a pedal board would be much more convenient. As it is, the straight plug gets routed between pedals.
If you plan on using the Vol/Exp in conjunction with GAFC and a pedal board, consider getting right angle TRS connectors.
Over all satisfied, recommend for the amps that support it
