* The illustration shows the KATANA-HEAD Mk II. KATANA-100 Mk II and KATANA-100/212 Mk II
do not have MIDI jack and SPEAKER OUT jacks.
15
LINE OUT jack
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 Mk II'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.
16
POWER AMP IN jack
This jack directly inputs a signal to the power amp without passing
it through the preamp of the KATANA Mk II. You can use it to input
sound that's been shaped by an external preamp or by a multi-
effect unit equipped with an amp simulator. When the POWER AMP
IN jack is being used, the [PANEL] button is lit red.
* Sound that is input to this jack is not affected by controls other than
the [MASTER] knob and the [POWER CONTROL] switch.
* Leave the [STEREO EXPAND] switch OFF unless you're using two KATANA Mk II
units in a stereo connection.
* The POWER AMP IN jack and the INPUT jack cannot be used
simultaneously. If cables are connected to both, the INPUT jack has
priority.
17
MIDI IN jack
You can control the KATANA-HEAD Mk II from a multi-effect unit or
a MIDI foot controller.
