I have to agree with u/rlvis.

I only added this up because I was bored, but I thought a sub $30 estimate seems low as well.

  • $10 - switches (2x$5)
  • $7 - knockoff 125-B enclosure
  • $2 - 1/4" TRS stereo jack

    That's $19 already and I haven't included wire, shipping costs (typically starts at $6.95) plus my shop cost (solder, tool wear, power, time).

    Or I can buy the Hosa for $20 from Amazon (shipped) and have a return policy.

    Not even a contest to what the real bargain is.

Hosa FSC-385 Dual Latching Guitar... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000VXKUL0?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Edit: This thing is awesome and is way cheaper than the Boss pedal.

This one is cheap and works well, just make sure to buy the cable with it. I do not believe there are any options with a tuner as the functionality of the switch is to control the amp only and does not process the guitar signal at all.
I have this and can verify it’s the most cost effective option on for the 50, in the US that I have found.

I use the overpriced GAFC for the 100 but usually see the FS6 or 7 recommended for the 50. The FS6 goes for about $70 new and around $40 used. There are cheaper under $30 options available. I believe there some livewire and hosa latching pedals that people pair with the Katana that work fine. I’d watched one or two YouTube videos that show how they are set up and see if that’s what your looking for.

Here’s a video from boss showing the FS6: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wqu82m2Pf00

When shopping for one make sure the pedal actuates the proper electrical contact function you need. For all intents and purposes a pedal is a on/ and off switch. Some pedals are always "on", (Electronically Closed) and when you push them they turn off (opening the connection). Some are the opposite.

My first go around I had some trouble when I purchased a Yamaha FC5 Sustain Pedal, its normally on. I was trying to use it with a simple RTS 301 Belt pack but it was doing the opposite of what I needed, Opens the mic when I plug it in, then kills it when I press and hold, Not all that desirable.

I did some more shopping and for a Hosa Dual- Channel foot switch It features 2 latching contacts that you could use between A and B channel Comm systems. The switches were "normally open" and when you press and latch it closes the connection and turns on the mic.

Sorry for the long post explaining Normally Open , Normally Closed foot pedals.

You need any two-button switch with a TRS connector (tip, ring, sleeve) - Here is a cheap one I found.

the switches are both latching. start on patch 1, click once for patch 2, click again for patch 1 same thing for bank. It's this switch

I'm thinking of just using 2 layaround leds and resistors just as an indicator and spending more time playing.

u/StreetwalkinCheetah · 1 pointr/GuitarAmps

There's no reason to buy a powered switch with the Katana 50. Get something like this instead. Better yet pick one up at your local shop.

With the switches you can not switch the channels on the panel quite like that instead you are switching between your 4 customizable preset channels - which override your panel settings. In order to get back to your panel you'll need to press the switch on the panel itself. But you can set up 4 channels to your liking, save them and use the switch to switch between them to your heart's content.
