Katana Librarian allows you to connect your phone or tablet to your BOSS Katana amplifier via USB or a Bluetooth adapter (sold separately), unlocking your amp’s full potential!

- Download patches from your amplifier.
- Modify the patch parameters; includes support for all effect types; the editor also changes in real-time as you adjust the parameters on your amp.
- Access undocumented Katana features like hidden amps and multiple simultaneous effects.
- Organize your patches into groups. Tag your favorite patches, or create a set list for a live performance.
- Use the hotkey feature in combination with a Bluetooth MIDI or HID foot switch (e.g. https://amzn.to/3RqNcDY) for hands-free patch and effect switching.
- Import and export MkI and MkII .TSL files.
- Rename and delete patches.
- Write patches to the amplifier's channels

Expensive, for an app, but works well. Compensates for the ridiculous lack of memory locations, on the katana.
This app is honestly better than the Software for the PC and Mac. You can do way more when it comes to the Amplifier choice End other options for the editing. That makes it way better. So worth for thirteen bucks My bandwidth That's the other guitarist has the same amp but as a stack. And i'm definitely going to recommend this to him
Awesome app. Works great with my katana mk-II
This is a great app does what it says and if you reset your guitar amp just delete the data and the cache and delete the app and download it again and it will work that is if you paid for it already because when you already paid for it and reset your guitar amp it will be the free version so you have to do the above steps to get back your paid version
Absolutely essential to owning a Boss Katana. I hadn't even used this app five minutes before deciding it was worth buying the full version. Works great on my Kindle Fire HD 10.
Hands down better than the computer software. I know of the app because of JB and the Facebook group Boss Katana Amps (if you need ANY help that's the only place you should go). Love these amps they're amazing little devices and the app makes using them so much easier.
Paid for something? I cannot find the sneaky amps, more patches, nothing? What did I pay for?
