Turning The Power On/Off; Restoring The Factory Settings - Boss KATANA-50 Mk II Owner's Manual

Using the expression pedals
If you connect an expression pedal (sold separately: Roland EV-5, BOSS
EV-30, BOSS FV-500L, BOSS FV-500H), you can use the pedal to vary the
volume or control an effect such as WAH.

choice to an expression pedal connected to the VOLUME or EXP jack.
Setting MINIMUM VOLUME of an expression pedal
With the [MINIMUM VOLUME] knob of
an expression pedal, you can set the

unit.
Using the footswitches
If a footswitch (sold separately: FS-6, FS-7, or FS-5U) is connected, you can
use it to switch between the TONE SETTING's BANK A/B, or to set the delay
time (TAP).

Turning the Power On/Off

* Once everything is properly connected (p. 4–p. 7), be sure to follow the
procedure below to turn on their power. If you turn on equipment in
the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction or equipment failure.
1.
Make sure that the KATANA Mk II's [MASTER] knob and the
volume of the devices connected to the KATANA Mk II are
set to 0.
* Before connecting your instrument to the KATANA Mk II's INPUT
jack, set the [MASTER] knob to the minimum setting (far left).
2.
Turn on the KATANA Mk II.
* Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to
turn the volume down. Even with the volume
turned down, you might hear some sound when
switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction.
3.
Turn on the power of the devices connected
to the LINE OUT jack and PHONES/REC OUT jack.
4.
Adjust the volume levels for the devices.
Before switching off the power, lower the volume on each of the
devices in your system and then TURN OFF the devices in the
reverse order to which they were switched on.
* If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the unit,
then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Refer to "To
completely turn off power to the unit, pull out the plug from the
outlet" (p. 2).

Restoring the Factory Settings

Here's how the settings stored in the KATANA Mk II can be returned to
their factory-set condition (factory reset).
1.
While holding down the [PANEL] button, turn the power
on.
Each of the EFFECTS buttons continues blinking consecutively from
the left. When the blinking stops, all of the KATANA Mk II's settings
return to the factory-set state.
* It takes approximately 30 seconds for the factory reset to be
completed. Don't turn off the power while the factory reset is in
progress.
