Four independent effects sections
The Katana series is famous for its built-in BOSS effects, and the Katana-210 bass is no exception. Dedicated comp/limiter and drive sections provide the core processing, while FX1 and FX2 offer a treasure trove of options from the BOSS bass effects library, from standards like chorus and octave flanger, to synth bass, and more. The FX2 section also includes delay and reverb, and over 60 total effect types are available for loading via the BOSS Tone Studio editor.
