If the computer does not recognize the amplifier, try another USB port, restart the software, and verify driver compatibility.",{"question":167,"answer":168},"How do I get a powerful guitar tone at low volume with the boss KATANA ARTIST GEN 3 Guitar Amplifier?","Use the Power Control function to reduce the amplifier’s output level while retaining a responsive, driven feel for home practice. Begin with moderate gain and MASTER volume settings, then adjust the channel tone controls to prevent excessive bass or harsh treble at quiet levels. The 12-inch Waza speaker can sound fuller than small practice speakers, so place the combo away from corners and walls if the low end becomes boomy.",{"question":170,"answer":171},"Which footswitches, expression pedals, or MIDI equipment work with the boss KATANA ARTIST GEN 3 Guitar Amplifier?","The boss KATANA ARTIST GEN 3 Guitar Amplifier provides rear-panel connections for compatible foot control, expression-pedal, and MIDI equipment.
