User reviews

Continuously disconnects from new Katana Air Ex. Cannot recover connection without both closing app and turning amp off by hand. Remote hands off functionality with a simplistic phone interface was the entire point of this amp (and app) for me -- if I have to get up constantly or use a pc to control the Katana Air Ex then I would rather use other products that I already own. Disappointing.

I liked the 1.30 version of the firmware!! After the learning curve and getting use to the interface/screen,. I found it was very good as other products have the same interface screens. Now with the new interface 2.0 version and above, it is not that intuitive, again a learning curve. What I really, really don't like is the NO CONNECTION, no matter what is tried............... To the EX, with the Airstep's as a bridge like the old 1.30 on the Katana Air. Not good, I like my Airsteps!!!!!!!

Unlocks the power of the amp - it offers a wider selection of effects and settings then what's possible with the physical knobs and buttons. Straightforward and responsive. Connecting to the amp is a bit unintuitive, but once done, you'll know how to do it next time.
