Unfortunately the new Boss Katana amps do not work fully with ALSA. The MIDI interfaces are exposed, but the audio interfaces are not.

I suspect this is for similar reasons that the Boss GT-001 and GT-100 don't work.

I've been meaning to try to find some time to look at this, but failing badly so far. If anyone else wants to chip in with ideas, the lsusb output is below:
