AIRSTEP connects Amp via USB and BTS App via Bluetooth, it makes wireless communication between the two. You can wirelessly modify your Amp sound anywhere!
Note: The BOSS official App is BTS for KATANA-AIR, there are some differences from the computer version, but most functions are the same (check the differences). There's a third-party BTS App called KATANA Librarian, which is recommended and more powerful.
