Ratings and reviews

Setting up midi and audio is a tedious task to say the least. it wouldn't be bad if you only had to do it once. every time the Bluetooth drops which is about every 15 minutes you have to go through unpairing everything and then repairing hoping that it works sometimes it doesn't and you have to start from scratch this includes rebooting the amp. If you call Roland support they basically tell you that you're doing something wrong. Meanwhile everyone having same issue. Unacceptable for Boss

My experience is the same as everyone else. I've only been successful in connecting a couple of times out of dozens of attempts. Just because it has connected before is no guarantee it will connect the next 20 attempts. I've never been able to get the BT playback function to work at all... not even once. And I've tried on four different devices. Please fix the app issue. Otherwise, I love the amp.

As others have noted, the Katana Air amp is really nice; on the other hand the app and Bluetooth integration is horrible. It disconnects all the time with the phone (a new Samsung Note 9) no more than 4 feet away. Often I cannot get it to reconnect without restarting the app and the amp. When that doesn't work I uninstall and reinstall the app and it works for a short while. The app and the amp firmware need an update. Get on it Boss!
