Product description Boss GA-FC EX
The BOSS GA-FC EX Foot Controller offers greatly improved control and workflow over a standard Katana setup, all with hands-free operation for easy stage use.
This flexible foot controller lets you switch between all your favorite Katana sound presets in an instant, and a quick tap of the effects switch gives you the ability to further customize each channel with a variety of different effects.
Two dedicated expression pedal connections give you even more real-time control over the sound - Exp Pedal 3 mode even allows you to connect a third expression pedal!
Running multiple Katanas in your live setup?
No problem, the GA-FC EX's Foot Control 2 mode provides an effortless way to connect to up to two amps. Expand mode even allows you to add another GA-FC EX/GA-FC footswitch to your setup for even the most complex installations.
BOSS products are known for their durability, so it's no surprise that the GA-FC EX features a rugged metal chassis and heavy-duty switches that can withstand even the roughest stages and tours.

Important questions about the article Boss GA-FC EX
Question: What is the BOSS GA-FC EX designed for?
Answer: The foot controller adds hands-free control of channels, effects, and other functions to compatible BOSS amplifiers. It is not a standalone effects unit and only works with a suitable amplifier.
Question: Which Katana amplifiers support all functions?
Answer: All Katana Gen 3 and Katana MkII models except the Katana-50 Gen 3 and Katana-50 MkII support the full feature set. This includes the extended modes of the additional connector.
Question: Does the GA-FC EX also work with older BOSS or Roland amplifiers?
Answer: Yes, provided that the respective model supports the standard GA-FC, such as certain Katana, Nextone, Acoustic Singer, and Roland Blues Cube amplifiers. However, only the standard GA-FC functions are available with these devices.
Question: Does the GA-FC EX need a power supply?
Answer: No. The controller connects to the amplifier via a 6.3 mm TRS cable and requires no external power supply; a foot controller cable is included.
Question: Which functions can be controlled directly with the footswitches?
Answer: Six footswitches allow selection of four channels and the panel sound, plus control of effects and other functions. Two-colour LEDs indicate the respective switching status.
Question: Can I connect expression pedals?
Answer: Yes. Two jacks are dedicated to expression pedals; the MODE jack can be used for a third pedal in EXP PEDAL 3 mode. Expression pedals are not included.
Question: Can one GA-FC EX control two amplifiers?
Answer: Yes, FOOT CONTROL 2 mode can connect two supported Katana Gen 3 or Katana MkII amplifiers with two cables. Memories and effects can be switched together or independently.
Question: Can the number of footswitches be expanded?
Answer: Yes. In EXPAND mode, a further GA-FC EX or a standard GA-FC can be connected, making more memories and effects directly accessible.
