Does anyone know if it possible to use an 'external' powersoak like the Dr Z Airbrake
on the Katana?

Saw a couple of questions about a 25W attenuator on the 100W/Head version

thanks

Definitely NOT recommended to use external power attenuators with any Katana , as it may damage the power amp.

If you have Katana Head you can add a separate External speaker output fed from the internal 5" speakers power amp and this new output yeilds useable 8 ohm   15watt and 30 watt output modes.

If ANY Speaker (+) wire or (-) wire touch each other - or Chassis ground while powered ON -  - you fry the Katana Power amp

( BTW - this is true for ANY Solid State Power Amp, and many Tube Power Amps too.
