    Hello could you help me?
    I just bought the MKII, but I can't install the driver.
    I installed an update to the amplifier, following steps on the boss page, but it won't let me install the driver. The computer throws me a message that it is not compatible with the operating system, but I have windows 10, 64bits.
    I don't know what to do, if you could help me, I would really appreciate it.
    Nice day.

      From BOSS...
      Please check the version of the system working on your KATANA Mk II before downloading the archive file.
      Turn the POWER switch on while holding down the [ TAP ] button.
      The five EFFECTS indicators display the current version.
      If the indicators light up as described below, the system is at the latest version.
      BOOSTER :Lighted in green
      MOD :Dark
      FX :Lighted in green
      DELAY :Dark
      REVERB :Dark
      If the indicators light up in a different way than just described, perform an update.

    this amp and this software is trash, boss should be ashamed of themselves, I can't get anything to work, all it says is "please update driver" I have the driver updated and installed, you can't get ahold of anyone at Boss, because no one works there, no support at all, emails are auto generated through support and are no help at all. I'm disappointed in Boss, their "customer" service, and this whole experince is troublesome, I will never ever buy another boss product again, I now have a $259 paper weight essentially, this amp sounds like trash without the ability to use the tone studio, no wonder they make you download everything, because they can't get it right the first time, BOSS is a joke.

      I don't have that issue and I don't know anyone else has the same issues as you do. did you make sure you got the correct update for the correct version of the amp? You have to check what version you have first before you install the driver.
