BOSSGA-FC EX Foot Controller for BOSS Katana Amplifiers

Currently connected to the back of a Boss Gigcaster, this controls the different virtual effects banks for the Gigcaster 5 and Gigcaster 8.This ex version has the colored lights so it’s easy to see which effects bank you are in when switching around. If you connect a second one of these pedals to the back of the master pedal, you don’t need to switch to the second effects bank. The second pedal acts as the extended effects bank.Overall this is super functional, as I have access to tons of different effects, instead of using a messy and noisy pedalboard.Again, what I’m talking about applies to the Boss Gigcaster 5 and the Boss Gigcaster 8. I have not tried this on the Boss Katana.The pedal switch does come with a cable. Although you may want to purchase a longer cable if you intend to use this anywhere other than at the base of where your Gigcaster or amp is sitting.Very solidly constructed pedal. Like most Boss items, I expect this will always work if it is not smashed around, if the pedal goes through that kind of thing often. I would recommend getting a second, (or third and fourth) for traveling around if you are a touring musician. That way you are not bashing up your studio foot pedals. If you are planning on running your main effects through this, you will probably want your studio pedals working reliably. Without question.All metal pedal construction though, so the pedal should be able to take a normal level of abuse and keep working, if you needed it to.

Amazing controller for boss katana amps. Great quality. Perfect for live shows.

This footpedal is worth the money …can set preset to it and switch channels and fx great quality too

This is the best foot controller for the Katana. I tried the Airstep because of it having wireless connectivity, but there was a slight delay when switching, and the Airstep also has a battery to charge. This Boss pedal may not have wireless, but there's no switching delay and no battery to worry about going dead at gigs.

Makes certain amp functions accessible without having to take hands off of guitar. Seems well made. Roland/BOSS quality doesn’t disappoint.

I gave a 4 star rating because there are no useful instructions from Boss… functionality, build quality are great.

For those who use BOSS Katana amps - I'll say it all in just 3 words: must have it

I was excited when I received it. The control is super solid, hefty, and seemed well-built.I plugged it in, and nothing. What’s going on? Me - that’s what’s going on. This model is not compatible with the Boss Kitana 50. I didn’t realize that while doing my research.So, great product, but make sure you have a 100 or stronger.
