Controls: Clean Vol, Clean/Bright Button, OD Button, Overdrive Volume, Gain, Three-Band EQ, ISF, Plate/Hall Button, Reverb, Power ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) takes you from a tight American sound to a more open and woody feel with the twist of a knob

I also really like the look of this thing; With the cream color cabinet and the dark speaker grille, and the "pointer" type knobs, it has a very "vintage" look about it. Very light, easy to carry.It’s worth mentioning that on the smaller Silverline Standard and Special amps, some of these EQ knobs are missing from their control panels. However, they can cleverly be accessed via the ‘TAP’ button, with alternative controls adjusting those parameters. So for example, to control the Resonance and Presence you can simply press the TAP button and use the Bass and Treble knobs respectively. To alter the mid-range, you can employ the TAP function in conjunction with the ‘ISF’ control. Brown– A lead sound with an edge, inherited from the BOSS WAZA brown sound. Inspired by the famous “EVH” sound. Careful preamp design that mimics valve circuit behaviour and the powerful ISF-enhanced EQ make it easy to dial in practically any overdrive tone you want, while the reverb sweetens the decay for stadium-like sounds at bedroom volume levels. There’s a choice of Hall or Plate models and it’s just down to personal taste which you prefer: the Hall is slightly warmer and darker, while the Plate has more high-frequency emphasis. The features have been carefully selected to include two footswitchable channels, a patented ISF tone control, power reduction and built-in reverb - the Debut 50 covers all an aspiring guitarist’s practice and gigging needs.

However, BOSS Katana MkII amps have a total of 8 preset slots, which allow you to save a further quartet of unique amp sounds in a second bank. Built-In Effects

While tonnes of built-in effects is cool, what if you want to use your own external stompboxes in conjunction with a Katana MkII? Fortunately, these amps (apart from the Katana 50) feature effects loops that let you to make seamless use of your favourite ambient, time-based and modulation effects. This is fairly uncommon for digital amps, so it’s a great plus for these models.
