the KATANA’s own speaker.

loud sound to be produced from the speaker, such as when
you’re practicing at night.

instrument, or similar audio source, and listen to it while you play
your guitar.

You can use this in conjunction with an external PA system, or to
record your performance via direct line while monitoring the sound
from the KATANA’s speaker.
Adjust the output level using the [VOLUME] knob.
Since the [MASTER] knob does not aect the output, you can turn
down the [MASTER] knob so that sound is output to a connected
device without any sound being produced from the amp itself.
* To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn
down the volume, and turn o all the units before making any
connections.
