KATANA MK2 100 watt SIGNAL FLOW

All Katana MK2 amps provide only a "dual Mono" monitor feed to the Katana Headphone Output jack

You may connect Stereo headphones, but you will only hear a common mono output signal on both ears ( same situation exists on the MK1 Katana Amps)

The Owners Manual lists the Katana MK2 Headphone Output as Stereo - but this is in Error - there is no Stereo audio monitoring capability with Katana MK2 amps

The Katana MK2 manual states only user controls for the Power Amp Input are Master Volume Knob and Power Wattage Control switch

In reality, There are User adjustable High Pass Filter and Signal Level Controls for the Power Amp Input Signal on Katana MK2 , using Boss Tone Studio for Katana MK2

This means the Power Amp Input is actually feeding an A/D and the Power Amp Input HPF Filter and Level Controls are in the DSP
