Modify Amp sound with BTS App for iOS and Android, Wirelessly! No setup required, Plug and Play! Total game changer for KATANA-50 users. AIRSTEP Kat has more powerful functions than the BOSS GA-FC footswitch and can work simultaneously with it if you already have one. It has an additional " GA-FC Expand Mode " to make up for the lack of GA-FC. With the AIRSTEP, you can finally control KATANA-50 just like the GA-FC and even more, like unlock five effects at once on MkI. AIRSTEP connects Amp via USB and BTS App via Bluetooth, it makes wireless communication between the two. You can wirelessly modify your Amp sound anywhere! Hand-free switch channels and toggle effects Modify Amp sound with phone App wirelessly Change Effect Type (color) and Tap Tempo Ability to program footswitch to additionally toggle Solo, PedalFx, EQ, Send/Return, etc. Simultaneously work with BOSS GA-FC footswitch Additional ''GA-FC Expand Mode" to make up for the lack of GA-FC Unlock five effects at once on MkI Ability to connect the original BTS in Mac wirelessly Available for KATANA 50/100/Head/Artist MkII & I Firmware can be upgraded to keep up with the latest BOSS firmware Built-in rechargeable battery for 100 hours of continuous use Robust aluminum extruded shell Included Footswitch sticker USB cable (2 meters long) USB extension cable Charging cable Review: Briilian addition for the Katana 50 - This is a brilliant addition for Katana owners, particularly Katana 50 owners who don't have access to Boss' own pedal. Allows easy switching between preset channels, and easy ability to turn on and off pedals within each channel. Really opens up the 'on the fly' usability of the Katana. Plus you can link to a couple of apps to allow channel editing wirelessly, a real game changer meaning less requirement to plug into the pc. Comes with all the necessary cables, and feels very well built, feel of unit and button switches feel very solid. Even comes with stickers so you can customise labels so you know what you're turning off and on. It's a real game changer. Only minor criticims I'd have is same buttons that have 2 functions operated by a long and short press could be more intuitive, and you end up swiching to the channel selectors when trying to turn on and off reverb but you get used to it fairly quickly. In later versions they could get round this by adding a sixth button. Quick delivery and in my opinion excellent value for money Review: Essential for Katana 50 owners - Bought a Katana 50 mkII Ex and wanted a foot switch to enable me to access all the extra presets you can’t access through the panel on the amp. After reading reviews, I decided to get the Airstep instead of the official boss GA FC and was so pleased I did. It’s easy to use, seems very sturdy and best of all, can connect to your phone via Bluetooth which means you can then change effects, settings and presets by either using the Boss Katana Air app or Katana Librarian app without needing to plug the amp into a computer. ## Features - Hands-free switch channels, toggle effects and change effect types of KATANA 50/100/Head/Artist MkII & I - Modify Amp sound with BTS App for iOS and Android - Ability to program footswitch to additionally toggle Solo, PedalFx, EQ, Send/Return, etc. - Additional ''GA-FC Expand Mode" to compensate for the lack of GA-FC - Total game changer for KATANA-50 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09YDBBM4R | | Amperage | 1 | | Audio Output Effects | Multi-Effect | | Best Sellers Rank | 23,425 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 92 in Amplifier Accessories | | Brand | xsonic | | Brand Name | xsonic | | Colour | black | | Connector Type | USB | | Controls Type | Push Button | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 578 Reviews | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Included Components | Foot controller only | | Item Dimensions | 30 x 14 x 7 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Amplifier Footswitch | | Item Weight | 0.75 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.75 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | xsonic | | Manufacturer Part Number | 8002130316206 | | Model Name | Airstep Kat Edition | | Model Number | AIRSTEP Kat | | Power Source | External power supply | | Product Warranty | 1. | | Set Name | KATANA MkII | | Signal Format | Analog | | Style | Modern | | Voltage | 9 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** xsonic - **Colour:** black - **Item weight:** 0.75 Kilograms - **Style:** Modern - **Voltage:** 9 ## Images ![XSONIC Airstep Kat, KATANA MkII & I Footswitch with 5 Footswitches, 2 Control Modes(Change Presets, Toggle Effects), 300H Playtime, Modify Amp sound with BTS App for iOS and Android - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41TBrpwEyqL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this be used to change volume, same effects but higher volume for a guitar break?** A: The answer to your specific question is no. However, I usually use the “Booster” effect for the solo breaks, so it can accomplish what you are after. I use this pedal in conjunction with the GA-FC. I use this to change channels and the GA-FC to turn effects on and off. You can use this pedal for both functions, but it gets tricky if you want to change channels and effects in the same song. **Q: will this work with the old Artist Mk1?** A: Yes, for sure! **Q: Does this work with the new katana 50 mkii ex ?** A: I have a Katana Mk II and it works seamlessly as advertised. Don't know about the EX... **Q: Arrived without a box. came in a baggy and had velro installed on the bottom. do they come this way new? i feel like i was sent a used unit.** A: That is definitely used. Should come in a box with no velcro. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Briilian addition for the Katana 50 *by M***N on 20 November 2023* This is a brilliant addition for Katana owners, particularly Katana 50 owners who don't have access to Boss' own pedal.

You can now simply use Bluetooth for downloading patches via Katana librarian which has a small one of cost £12 ish instead of hooking up a laptop or pc. The Airstep opens up another arm of the Katana Amp which Itself is great. The Airstep can also be simply used for foot switching controls and changing panels. Very good price and anyone thinking about getting one should not hesitate. I don’t think they would regret it, I certainly love it. ## Frequently Bought Together - XSONIC Airstep Kat Edition KATANA MkII & I Footswitch with 5 Footswitches, 2 Control Modes(Change Presets, Toggle Effects), 300H Playtime, Modify Amp sound with BTS App for iOS and Android - Nektar Expression Pedal (NX-P) ,Black , pack of 1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/451041363-xsonic-airstep-kat-katana-mkii-and-i-footswitch-with-5](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/451041363-xsonic-airstep-kat-katana-mkii-and-i-footswitch-with-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
