When connecting an external speaker to the KATANA-Artist
5 When the unit is shipped from the
factory, the internal speaker is connected
to the 8Ω jack. If a plug is connected to
the 8Ω jack, sound is not output from
the 16Ω (A/B) jacks. If you want to use an
external speaker, disconnect the internal speaker's plug from
the 8Ω jack.
5 If you use the 8Ω jack, you must use a speaker box whose input
impedance is 8Ω or higher.
5 If you use the 16Ω (A/B) jacks, you must use speaker boxes
whose input impedance is 16Ω or higher.

PHONES/REC OUT jack
Connect headphones here. You can obtain powerful guitar sounds
just as if you were playing through the speaker. To adjust the
volume, use the [VOLUME] knob along with the [MASTER] knob.
* If a plug is inserted in this jack, no sound will be output from
the KATANA's own speaker. This is convenient if you don't want
loud sound to be produced from the speaker, such as when
you're practicing at night.

AUX IN jack

Here you can connect a CD player, audio player, electronic musical
instrument, or similar audio source, and listen to it while you play
your guitar.
16
LINE OUT jack
100/HEAD/Artist only
Connect this to your PA system or recorder. You can obtain powerful
guitar amp sound just as if you were playing through the speaker.
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 affect 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 off all the units before making any
connections.

EFX LOOP SEND/RETURN jacks
100/HEAD/Artist only

You can use a commercially available USB 2.0 cable to record
