Product information

Product no: 9000-0160-5337

General

De WAZA-experts van Boss uit Japan zorgen ervoor dat je meer uit een buizenversterker tot 150 Watt kunt halen. Dit is namelijk een loadbox, cab-simulator, mic-emulator, IR-loader, analoge eindtrap en externe audio-interface in één! Boss noemt de WAZA Tube Amp Expander een commandocentrum voor je buizenversterker. Hij is overigens niet alleen live uitstekend te gebruiken, maar prima in te zetten in de studio. Door de speciaal ontwikkelde Tube Logic technologie blijven de klank, de vervormingskarakteristiek en dynamiek van je buizenamp intact bij elke volume.

WAZA Tube Amp Expander: echte buizensound met cabinet- en microfoonemulaties

Zo kun je via de loadbox-sectie de echte buizenklank van je versterker opnemen zonder je buren tot last te zijn. Wil deze sound ook op het podium horen, maar zijn de andere instrument direct ingeprikt? Dan kun je dit ook doen met deze Tube Amp Expander. De interne emulaties van 7 speakerkasten kun je combineren met 5 microfoon-simulaties om je gitaargeluid dan getrouw via de monitoring terug te kunnen horen. Heb je favoriete impulse responses van een externe partij? Boss geeft je ook nog eens 4 plekken om IR's op te slaan. Met de 16 combinaties van de Resonance-Z en Presence-Z knoppen vind je vast de juiste instelling om jouw gitaarversterker in diverse vergelijkbare situaties realistisch te laten klinken bij elk volume-niveau.

Extra controle en een hoogwaardig geluid

Via de MIDI-connectoren en de aansluitingen voor voetschakelaars kun je dit Boss commandocentrum extra controleren. In de studio valt de WAZA Tube Expander mede door de USB-connector in te zetten als externe audio-interface. In alle bovengenoemde scenario's kun je profiteren van de hoogwaardige geluidskwaliteit (32 bit, 96 kHZ) van de interne digital signal processing. Tevens heb je nog de beschikking over reverb-, delay-, EQ- en compressie-effecten. Wil je je eigen externe effecten gebruiken via de effectloop? Dan kun je deze in serie of parallel aan je sound toevoegen.

Ontgrendel het volledige potentiëel

Wil je je versterker liever via speakercabinetten horen? Sluit deze dan aan op de 2 speakeruitgangen. Met de gratis verkrijgbare editor software kun je via de USB-aansluiting het volledige potentiëel van deze Boss buizenversterker expander ontgrendelen. Zo kun je je favoriete setups opslaan op je PC of Mac en bijvoorbeeld in de volgorde van je setlist plaatsen. Speel je op een kleiner podium en wil je ook dan volle, grootste gitaargeluiden? Regel dan de loudness contour in. Naast een gebruikershandeling en natuurlijk het netsnoer, worden ook nog 2 rackmount-hoeken en een GA-FC sticker meegeleverd. De gelijknamige voetschakelaar wordt echter niet meegeleverd, maar is uitstekend te gebruiken bij deze WAZA Tube Amp Expander.

Boss GA-FC Foot Controller

For anyone using a compatible amp like a Katana 100 Gen3 this makes life very practical. Effective foot switching for live use of both presets and individual effects inside each preset. Superb build quality as you would expect from Boss.
Using the expression pedal sockets on it which take either simple foot switches or expression pedals, I have one simple foot switch dedicated to the solo boost function, and another to turn on the foot controller effect the current patch has. I have a cheap expression pedal plugged into the extra expression pedal socket on the amp, and this gives me wah, pitch blend or whatever I have programmed in.
This GA-FC is the heart of controlling my Katana.

Boss WAZA Tube Amp Expander

This easily controls the volume of my notoriously loud old Carvin Legacy II 2x12 at comfortable home volume levels, while retaining the tone nicely - the resonance and presence settings make it very easy to do. Perfect!
The headphone out sounds good too, which is great for when I really can't make any noise.

Boss GA-FC Foot Controller

Ik heb deze controller aangeschaft voor mijn Boss Acoustic LiveSinger om bij optredens de FX tijdens aankondigingen uit te kunnen schakelen en de Harmoniser in en uit te schakelen. Werkt Prima . Het enige minpunt dat ik heb .is dat de mute knop er van mij niet op had moeten zitten . De harmoniser knop zit er naast en het is mij al een paar keer voor gekomen dat bij het inschakelen van harmoniser met de voet de mute knop meegepakt wordt en de hele zaak uit gaat. En dat is live niet leuk.

Ik heb deze footcontroller aangeschaft om mijn Boss WAZA Tube Expander te kunnen aansturen. Het apparaat is zoals gewend van Boss oerdegenlijk gebouwd en de bijgeleverde kabel is ook van goede lengte. De afhandeling en versturing van Bax was zoals altijd goed en snel. Super tevreden mee.

Boss GA-FC Foot Controller

De perfecte aanvulling voor mijn Katana 100 Mkii. Erg stevige constructie. De stikkers met gewijzigde positie van effecten zat initieel in de doos van de Katana zelf en dient eerst te worden aangebracht. Ik ben tevreden dat het schakelen tussen kanalen onmiddellijk gebeurt zonder enige onderbreking, en bij indrukken, dus niet bij loslaten. De drukknoppen lopen soepel met een zacht klikje. Pedaal was tijdig en netjes geleverd, weliswaar in een wel erg grote doos. Bax blijft in mijn top 3 qua online muziekwinkels. Groeten uit Kortrijk, België.
