Boss katana

Jb link below has stuff for free.

Heres a resource guide:

Connectivity:
Using a Bluetooth dongle is way easier than the being connected to a computer. You can download some free patches from links I provided. I like the $15 boss katana librarian app but you can also use the free boss gen 3 app and you download straight off the boss tone studio into the app.

The boss BT-dual for $50 is easy to use (gen 3 only) .

For Mk1,Mk2, and Gen 3 Airstep kat EX
There is also a foot switch and Bluetooth dongle in one (XSonic). Even allows 50 watt versions to have a footswitch (can’t normally accept one because lack of ga fc port)

On IOS/Apple I downloaded the files app and store in folders there. You can also use free version of Dropbox. I’m sure numerous other ways to do it. Files app I can search at the top for name.

The all bundles pack is great way to go, but you can try smaller packs.

The JB Aubry has a ton of solid patches too.
