            Marshall code has more features and you can do everything from the controls on the amp. It has 100 patches to store different sounds. Katana has less features but is easier to use because of this, If you want to delve deeper into the settings you have to connect it to a PC. It only has up to 8 patches.Feb 2, 2022

            I have had both and I would say: Marshall code has more features and you can do everything from the controls on the amp. It has 100 patches to store different sounds. Katana has less features but is easier to use because of this, If you want to delve deeper into the settings you have to connect it to a PC.Feb 2, 2022
