Boss Katana - USB output very low level issue

Postby SJB » Mon Apr 13, 2020 4:24 pm

Has anyone overcome the very low output on the Katana USB interface.
Seems to be a problem generally.

In BOSS Tone Studio go into the System dialog, click on USB and increase the Effect Out Level to max (200%)

There's also a MIX Level which can also be increased to 200%. Mine is currently at 70% but it's late and I can't try it or Sleeping Beauty will complain! This might help but I'm not sure if I ever tried that option.

Even with this my recorded level from the USB is much lower than what I get from the Line Out on the Katana but you can Normalise the recorded level in your DAW. This doesn't seem to cause any increase in noise because the USB signal was recorded directly in digital form.
