I just got one and I'm 78 not being worried by the tech stuff just the amp, it replaced an AC30 which became impossible to lift. This is a beauty, I use it with my old Roland RE-201 echo and nobody has come up to me saying that my sound has altered as I downloaded an AC30 patch. For country I found a Fender Super Reverb patch and with the Tele it works a treat so don't worry too much about all the tech stuff, just use it and learn as yo0u go, it's the best money I ever spent since 1964.

9:45 that is the coolest part. I bought a zoom pedal and was seriously disappointed in the expression pedal options. it's a pretty simple matter to have the exp control ALL the effects instead of just a few. i was kinda upset zoom left that function out. I'm super stoked that I'll be able to do it with my amp instead. yeah I have to buy the GAFC and exp pedal, but such is life.

This is a fantastic video! I currently have a boss gt100 and a peavey bandit. I'm looking to consolidate and simplify and was looking at the katana 100 + footswitch. As cool as this functionality is, by the time you have the original footswitch, optional expression pedal, and looper/tuner in your loop, you almost end up at the same place. If there was a looper built in, that would be the icing on the cake. Did anyone else consolidate down to the katana from a multi effects and have any feedback from your experience? Thanks!

Saved to my Boss Katana playlist. Very helpful, indeed! I'm a Katana newbie (and fairly fresh to guitar, to boot), and while I'm fascinated by the Katana, and the technology available to electric guitar players in general, sometimes I wonder if I'd been better served by using a barebones amp, since I seem to be spending a lot of time learning the ins and outs of the Katana and its accessories rather than practicing my skill on the actual instrument. I know, I can always use the Katana in a barebones mode, but the temptation is always there and I'm only human. 😄

Totally agree. I had the 50 until I learned it pretty well then realized the 100 does soooo much more- I sadly had to build a pedal board for just the controllers and expression pedals because the boss modeling amp sound so great--- I'm totally addicted. Better than drugs though, and you have so much dang clean fun goofing around- man I wish I had the raw talent and brains/memory my man here does--- I have to practice constantly just to b a Crappy musician... but it's still fun to me!!!

Great video, thnx for posting. Please note one thing you didn't mention ... long-pressing on any of the patch/channel buttons engages a volume boost in the power amp stage (i.e. NOT the Channel Boost SOLO boost that you showed in your video). Since this video was posted, the latest software version (as of OCT '22) has also introduced new functionality to the GA-FC, as follows : Long-press on the EFFECTS button takes you into another mode where the button functions change as follows : CH1 : Channel SOLO BOOST ( the one in this video) CH2 : Switches the function of the expression pedal plugged into the back of the GA-FC (exactly like you've used the FS-6 "B" button). CH3 : Delay1 tap tempo CH4 : Delay2 tap tempo Hope that helps someone 👍. BOSS have also just introduced a new version of the GA-FC (the GA-FC-EX) with even more additional functionality (AFAIK *THREE* expression pedal inputs). That would need a whole new video 😊. Sadly, still no way to cycle through the RED-YELLOW-GREEN options for the BOOST, MOD, FX, DELAY and REVERB for individual channels. If they could do that, then we really would have a beast, but my guess is that this would need a whole new version of the GA-FC again, in which case they might as well add a.couple of expression pedals as well, akin to what LINE6 did with their floor controllers 👍🤘🤘

@@GuitarZero2Hero thanks for the reply Dave. Yeah, I looked at that unit a while back. While I agree it's a game-changer for owners of Katana 50W models, I have a 100/212 Mk2 and discounted it for various reasons - mainly because it's not better than the GA-FC, just offers a slightly different feature set and the GA-FC has closed the gap significantly with the latest software version. Yeah, you gain the ability to toggle through the RED-YELLOW-GREEN effects options (except DELAY and REVERB), but you lose the ability to have an expression pedal with function switching right at your pedal board connected through the back of the AIRSTEP and need to run separate cables back to the Katana. There's a lot of smoke and mirrors and mis-information out there about the Katana Librarian app too. Yes, it's great that you can use it wirelessly with the AIRSTEP, but it connects perfectly well directly from your phone or tablet to the Katana just as well, using a standard USB cable + OTG adapter. The fact remains that, LIKE THE AIRSTEP, it's a third-party app, neither owned nor controlled by BOSS, and compatability is solely the responsibility of the makers of those products. There is always the possibility that BOSS might break that compatibility when they issue software updates and it's the responsibility of XSONIC and the Librarian developers to keep up (which isn't always the case). Peace 🤘🤘

Does an expression pedal with a toe switch allow me to turn the expression effects on and off? i.e. Do I always have to have Pedal Wah enabled??? Thanks everyone

I read the comments. Didn't see this particular question: So let's say I make preset 1 an OD boost and nothing else. So as I'm playing in preset 1, can I then turn on and then turn off, say, reverb or flanger in the foot switch while staying in preset 1 OD? Or does switching to "Effects" on the foot switch take me out of preset 1 and into Panel mode?

Boss should be paying you to do their job. As many have said, The literature on this amp is lacking 90 percent of this amps ability. I have a 4 pound manual with like eight pages of rubbish in English and the rest of the book is in 400 other languages, giving them the same eight pages of rubbish. (We know not to plug the freakin thing in while in a bathtub, Boss.. I can imagine how they found out some of the caution answers.) … Sorry, had to vent. Thanks for a fabulous demo my friend I will pick up my pedal today. Guitar center did not even try to make a sale informing me on the existence of this pedal, its abilities and even changes to make it work properly with other pedals. Boss really needs to hire you… For our sake.

In an ideal scenario, time based effects like reverb and delay through the FX loop and distortion and overdrives through the front. This depends if you’re using the amp channel to create your distortion or not. pedalboardplanet.com/effects-loop/ this will explain it :)

Hello . I have a katana head and a Boss fv50-L volume pedal. When I connect the pedal to Ga-fc volume drops a lot. Is this due to low frequency? Do I have to have High Frequency to get volume of katana Head? Thanks for reply .

You have the volume pedal hooked up incorrectly Dave, and the manual is incorrect (kinda). If you notice, when you raised and lowered the volume of your guitar, the tone characteristics did not change (gain did not clean up at all). To correctly hook a volume pedal and have it properly change tone characteristics (ex. reduce gain w/volume reduction) you have to run the guitar to the input of the volume pedal, then the output to the front of the amp, completely ignoring the GA FC. If you use the GA FC in the loop, you loose the benefit of a volume pedal (cleaning up the sound when you decrease volume). It's a fatal flaw in the design, but one we have to live with. Otherwise great demo, very informative and appreciated.

It would be great if the behaviour was assignable - like the effects loop is positionable pre/post reverb
