User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used with an electric bass
Answer:	It should be
Question:	Can I plug my bass into this amp and get reasonable sound for practice

Answer:	These ones are XL / extra large
Question:	How does it compare to the Orange Micro Crush
Answer:	If its the Top Dog listing it is for a dozen pair. If you need anything else please let us know. Thanks again from the Top Dog Tool Team

User questions & answers

Question:	What kind of power supply does this use? Can I plug into the wall or does it take batteries? I'm not very familiar with amplifiers, thanks
Answer:	Documentation does not say, not on the box either. Coverage area indicates it is 2.4. Works very well I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck.
Question:	Would this be good for Karaoke (I have a Karaoke Mixer) or for connecting to a Projector to boost the sound
Answer:	It depends on the dealer's policy.
Question:	Does it come with a wire
Answer:	Just received the DWS-3 system today on recommendations from numerous reviews and forums. Plugged it in using my Warwick Thumb 5-string and GK mb500. No discernible difference from using a standard cable. Handled the low B string just fine. I’m confident it will do fine at gig this weekend with GK+SWR Goliath III cab.
Question:	Can this amp used for violin? Does it has speakers
Answer:	As it is I found that mine did also , after research for a few minutes I found that it was my input jack on the guitar . Don’t know if this helps but I cleaned mine with a burst of compressed air and it helped but ultimately I changed the jack out for a new one and I now have crisp and clear sound .

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have delay or reverb
Answer:	Yes, I think it would be secure. I have one attached to my desk organizer, which is lightweight metal and it seems secure. The other one I have is attached to my piano music stand, and it is very secure. The clip is really tight, so I think it would work on a metal wire music stand.
Question:	How do i turn off distortion? the instructions say to hold eq for 2 seconds. that does not work. it just mutes my guitar
Answer:	Not sure, assumed it was a battery issue so used the electric adapter instead. No resolve.
Question:	So this is a amp and speaker? Wonder how a ukulele would sound using it
Answer:	If you are buying this in late 2017, you're out of luck. The cord is only 38" long as I measure it. This will not reach to any outlet without an extension cord. The manufacturer must have been cutting corners for profit reasons to make it so short.
Question:	is the usb just for charging or can it act as a usb interface as well? thank you for your time

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know if a standard 9v power supply (like what you'd use for pedals) will safely power this amp
Answer:	Hi, it will take the Roland/Boss PSA-120s standard power supply (9-volt, 500mA, the same one you use for all Boss pedals.) Please let us know if you have any other questions! Thank you, The Midi Store Team
Question:	How many watts? Thanks
Answer:	7

User questions & answers

Question:	can this be used for a microphone
Answer:	If the microphone has a quarter inch jack it will work. There is only one input jack.
Question:	I'm looking for something for an bass guitar. I'd be playing with only one other guitar in either a living room or dinning hall setting, will it work
Answer:	Bass is really not going to sound very nice through this amp, even in a small setting. You'll sound much better through an amp that's designed for bass, like a Peavey MAX 126 or Fender Rumble 15.
Question:	any chance this is powerful enough to play in the street
Answer:	Would be adequate for street corner or subway playing. Subway acoustics are fantastic with overdrive. About 30 foot radius of good volume...fades after that. Sound quality is true to that of the Marshall name.
Question:	Can this be used with acoustic guitars
Answer:	Yes. The Marshall MS2 Micro Amp has very low noise even at volume setting up to 10. The Overdrive (OD) switch gives a rather clean Marshall-like sound, compared to Marshall heads from the late '70s (a major effort with Marshall amps then was noise reduction/control). In writing this response I tested one of my MS2 micro amps (I use two, for two effects channels then out through the headphone jack for 4 (two left two right) channels to the mixer board), and plugged in my Ovation-Celebrity CC57. I turned the volume of the Celebrity pickup to 10 (the pickup is very weak) and changed the volume on the MS2 from 0 to 10 (first test), and also engaged the OD switch (second test). Without the OD in play the quality of the sound was acceptable, i.e. just a clean acoustic guitar sound. With the OD in play the noise jumps and we get a kind-of Marshall-like sound from the weak pickup. So I can recommend using the Marshall MS2 Micro Amp even with an acoustic (i.e. acoustic-hybrid electric) guitar as a practice amp and as part of an effects system (pre-amp stage). And the MS2 is very inexpensive. Hope that helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would you say this is loud enough to play with a band
Answer:	Plug into the wall 
Question:	Is it worth the extra money for mkii
Answer:	This depends on the venue. For karaoke at home or in a very small room with a small crowd, it may be okay, but for large rooms or big crowds, you may want to invest in a good PA system.
Question:	What does the power setting do
Answer:	Comes with an AC power cord but does not come with the cord that goes from guitar to the amp.
Question:	whats the differance between the 50 and the 50 mkII
Answer:	Yes absolutely. It does have one speaker and makes plenty of sound for such a small amp. I use it for both my keyboard and acoustic/electric guitar... It has a standard input jack. You can also plug in a mic or headphones. It's very well made and lives up to Fender's quality. Good Luck, hope this helps!

THE EVOLUTION OF A MODERN CLASSIC

Katana MkII takes the acclaimed Katana guitar amp series to the next level, turbocharging the core platform with more sounds, more effects, and more features. Newly voiced variations are now available for all five amp characters, doubling the tonal options. And the onboard effects categories have been expanded from three to five, providing even more real-time processing to choose from. The usability has been ramped up too, with a power amp input for modelers and multi-FX, updated editor software, and many other enhancements.

More Sounds, More Versatility

The stage-class Katana MkII lineup picks up where the first generation left off, building on the same core tones and features that have made the series such a worldwide smash. If you loved the original Katana amps, you'll love Katana MkII even more. And if you're new to the party, get ready for sound, feel, and versatility that soars far beyond its class.

Five Amp Characters, Ten Overall Tones

Katana MkII's five primary amp characters offer everything from organic vintage tones to modern high-gain sounds, plus a dedicated voice optimized for acoustic-electric guitar. The characters have now been extended with newly voiced variations, providing a wider palette of tone options to craft your personal sound.

Five Effects At Once

Katana MkII now includes five simultaneous effects categories, putting the tone-shaping power of a massive pedalboard right inside your amp. Independent Booster, Mod, FX, Delay, and Reverb sections come loaded from the factory with three variations in each, providing 15 ready-to-play effects to choose from. Connecting to BOSS Tone Studio lets you dive much deeper if you want—customize the sections with over 60 different effect types, change the order with four different chains, and much more.

Full-Throttle Sound Every Time You Plug In

Backed by BOSS's Tube Logic approach, Katana MkII delivers the authentic output distortion characteristics of genuine tube amplifiers, with the sound and feel becoming richer and more responsive as you turn up the volume. But unlike that classic tube amp, Katana MkII's variable Power Control makes it easy to fly in the sweet spot without getting fired from the gig or kicked out of the house. Just throttle back the overall volume as needed to enjoy inspiring, cranked-amp sound anywhere you play, from bedroom to stage.

The Katana-50 MkII rocks as a standalone amp, but it also excels as a powered cabinet for a favorite preamp, modeler, or multi-effects unit. Connecting to the rear-panel Power Amp In jack bypasses Katana MkII's preamp and effects, letting you tap straight into the Tube Logic power section, complete with grab-and-go Power Control. And with BOSS Tone Studio, the input can be easily optimized for your particular gear with a high-pass filter and adjustable gain.

One-Touch Recall Of Custom Setups

One of the Katana-50 MkII's most powerful features is the ability to store favorite amp character and effects setups in Tone Setting memories for instant recall. After you've dialed in a sound with the panel controls, simply save it to the desired memory with a quick button hold. Four Tone Settings (two banks of two) are available, with fast selection right from the panel. It's also possible to connect external footswitches for hands-free control on the gig.

Ready-To-Mix Direct Tones

The Katana-50 MkII features USB and phones/recording outputs with mic'd cabinet emulation, letting you send mix-ready amp tones to a computer DAW or headphones. The direct sound can be shaped with three different Air Feel settings, which are accessible from BOSS Tone Studio. Two-channel USB operation is supported, allowing you to track in true stereo with many of Katana's modulation, EQ, delay, and reverb effects.

BOSS Tone Studio Enhancements

BOSS Tone Studio has also evolved alongside the Katana MkII amplifiers. The interface has been updated with a refreshed look, and a number of parameters have been consolidated into the main screen for faster workflow. There's also a dedicated Pedal FX category, making it easier to assign wah and pedal bend effects to a connected expression pedal. And if you're a first-gen Katana owner, it's possible to import your custom patches and use them all with Katana MkII.
