Boss - WAZA Tube Amp Expander
The Waza Tube Amp Expander is the only attenuator on the market, the very first tube amp control centre that gives you the same response as an unattenuated amp with Waza expertise and the Tube Logic approach. Designed for touring and featuring a rugged, easy-to-use enclosure, this tube amp expander brings together for the first time a host of professional sound features including: Loadbox direct box with variable reactivity, analogue active power amplification, microphone-based PA simulation, impulse response loading and recording interface.
