Katana-50 Gen 3 sports two footswitchable channels and a Panel control channel, each with 3-band EQ control. Each channel includes Gain, channel Volume, and Master volume controls, which when combined with the handy optional power reduction down to 25 or 0.5W, you get the ultimate in tonal control regardless of output volume.
