BOSS Waza Tube Amp Expander Core with Selectable Reactive Load and Drive Power Amplifier (Black)

A professional recording tool for capturing high-quality tube amp tones is the BOSS Waza Tube Amp Expander Core in Black. Premium cab emulation and studio processing make it easy to not only create high-impact direct tones, but the Tube Logic technique and reactive load design preserve your amp's organic feel and touch response. Among the creative choices are a useful Mix Assist tool that guarantees that songs blend seamlessly throughout each mix and a special Air Feel feature that uses cutting-edge spatial technology to realistically replicate ‘amp-in-room’ sound. Additionally, you can enjoy ‘sweet spot’ amp tones at levels that are comfortable for your home with your preferred cab and the inbuilt 30-watt reactive drive power amp.
Premium Tones at All Volumes
When a tube-based guitar amplifier's power component is operating at full capacity and the volume is turned up, it sounds and feels its best. Unfortunately, without an isolation booth or understanding neighbors, the levels generated are typically too high for anyone to handle. This problem is resolved by the Waza Tube Amp Expander Core, which precisely simulates combination and stack-style speaker behaviors by capturing your amp's speaker output with a reactive load and customizable choices. The sound is sent straight to the inbuilt 30-watt reactive drive power amplifier, which is prepared to be connected to an external cab for practice at low volume. In order to provide you with a polished feed for direct recording applications, the same signal is also routed through the unit's effects processing and speaker cab emulations.
Professional-Sounding Speakers
The Waza Tube Amp Expander Core's raw amp sound may be shaped using the studio playground that the associated editor software offers. With location, distance, and volume controls, you can adjust the perfect blend among 22 BOSS cabinet emulations and five vintage microphone types (two are available at once). As an alternative, you can use up to two speaker cab IRs simultaneously, either from your own IR library or the provided Celestion Digital IRs. For the smoothest tone, you can align IR combinations precisely with the time alignment feature.
Premium Recording Tools
No prior engineering knowledge is necessary to generate world-class recorded tones with the help of the potent tools in the Waza Tube Amp Expander Core. The Mix Assist tool, which was created in collaboration with leading guitarists and studio engineers, allows you to apply one of three sound contour curves with variable transient control. This greatly enhances the quality of your production by making it simple to record parts that merge flawlessly within mixes. Additionally, there is an immersive Air Feel feature that recreates the motivating ‘amp-in-room’ tone that guitarists adore using BOSS spatial technology. Compared to the room microphones commonly used to add space to guitar recordings, the two Air Feel studio versions produce more natural results by offering true richness, depth, and dimension.
Rigs and Effects
To create amazing studio guitar tones, effect processing is essential. Positioned after the amp's distortion for the clearest sound, the Waza Tube Amp Expander Core has a series and parallel loop for adding your favorite mod and ambience effects. Additionally, the unit has a variety of excellent internal processing that lets you apply reverb, delay, EQ, and compression. Using the Rig knob on the front panel, you may assign 10 favorites for quick access and arrange bespoke settings in the editor, including cab selections and effects.
Highly Customizable
You can use your own rigs in multiple ways simultaneously with the Waza Tube Amp Expander Core. Use the stereo XLR jacks to plug into an audio interface or mixer, or record straight to music creation software via USB. For everyday practice, connect an external speaker cabinet with 4, 8, or 16 ohms. Or use the front input to see through headphones, which come with Air Feel for a captivating spatial experience.
Expansion Options
In addition to the 10 built-in Celestion Digital IRs, you can load 64 of your preferred third-party speaker WAV IRs using the Waza Tube Amp Expander Core Editor. For the best audio quality, mono or stereo files with a 500 ms length limit, 32-bit floating point, and 96 kHz resolution are suitable. By adding wireless capabilities with the optional Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor, you may use the mobile version of the editor to load IRs and adjust setups while jamming to music streamed from a smartphone.
