{"product_id":"boss-waza-tube-amp-expander-301442","title":"Waza Tube Amp Expander","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Waza Innovation Designed to Enhance Tube Amps\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Waza Tube Amp Expander was born from a simple idea: to allow guitarists to push a tube amp into its ideal zone without the usual compromises of traditional attenuators. Designed with Waza expertise and the \u003cstrong\u003eTube Logic\u003c\/strong\u003e approach, it sits between your amp's speaker output and your destinations (cabinet, mixer, recorder, headphones) to \u003cstrong\u003epreserve the amp's sonic signature\u003c\/strong\u003e while expanding its capabilities. Whereas many solutions alter playing feel or power saturation, this system emphasizes amp\/load interaction, a key element of the \"cranked\" sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For and In What Contexts the Waza Tube Amp Expander Makes a Difference\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is aimed at guitarists who love the character of a tube amp-from \u003cstrong\u003evintage combos\u003c\/strong\u003e to \u003cstrong\u003emodern high-gain\u003c\/strong\u003e-and want to fully exploit it at home, in the studio, rehearsal, or on stage. In a home studio, it becomes a \"plug and play\" hub to record a pushed amp sound at a controlled level. Live, it secures the tone: you send a consistent direct signal to the front of house while keeping a stage cabinet if desired. It suits both demanding musicians and professionals, especially if you're looking for a more reliable, faster-to-set-up, and reproducible pedalboard\/rig from gig to gig.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, Presets, and Connectivity: A True Amp Control Center\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the system, the \u003cstrong\u003evariable reactive load\u003c\/strong\u003e and impedance adjustment allow fine-tuning of your amp's response, aiming to recreate the feel of a familiar cabinet. You have \u003cstrong\u003e10 customizable presets\u003c\/strong\u003e that can include your EQ choices, effects, mic simulation, IRs, effects loop status, and control parameters (including MIDI Program Change and amp channel switching when compatible). On stage, simple front access lets you recall a set, and a Write button facilitates quick saving of tweaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReal-time control is designed for playing: compatible with BOSS footswitches \u003cstrong\u003eGA-FC\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFS\u003c\/strong\u003e (optional), plus \u003cstrong\u003eMIDI\u003c\/strong\u003e input\/output for integration into advanced setups. On the audio side, the Expander features a \u003cstrong\u003e100-watt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eclass AB\u003c\/strong\u003e power amplifier (discrete analog design) with volume control to drive external cabinets or even add presence to a low-wattage amp in a band setting. Finally, the high-end DSP section (32-bit floating-point AD\/DA conversion, \u003cstrong\u003e96 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e) ensures modern quality for simulation and effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sought-after sonic character here is not \"just another pedal\" coloring your chain: the Waza Tube Amp Expander primarily aims for \u003cstrong\u003efaithfulness to your amp's behavior\u003c\/strong\u003e. By pushing the power stage, you regain the \u003cstrong\u003egrain\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003enatural compression\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003epick response\u003c\/strong\u003e that make tubes charming, all while keeping volume manageable. Impedance settings (Resonance-Z and Presence-Z) refine attack, the \"punch\" sensation in the low mids, and the openness of the highs, delivering a more \"cab-like\" response than a simple loadbox. The direct outputs then add a studio finishing layer via mic emulation and\/or IR loading for a mix-ready sound without losing playing dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower handling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e150 MILLIWATT\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDestination\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eeffect pedal\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFictitious load\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIR loader\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eAB\/box\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eXLR, USB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePremium stereo effects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ecompressor, Delay, Reverb\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Boss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358411608339,"sku":"301442","price":1299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/eb4d803fca21c70f0cfd373530e2bb37c3c377bb_BOSS_WAZA_TAE_54598c33-190b-4698-891f-fbc5d2c00191.jpg?v=1789487751","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/boss-waza-tube-amp-expander-301442","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
